Bruce and Sharon Elliott

 Bruce and Sharon Elliott love to travel, and, with retirement approaching, decided to hit the road with a Sprinter RV. WESTconsin Credit Union helped them finance the purchase, a bit pricier than most recreational vehicles because of a Mercedes engine, and they were ready for a trip out east.

It turned out that a reliable engine was exactly what they needed―they had to alter their itinerary and leave New Jersey a bit earlier than planned, just hours ahead of Hurricane Sandy. They made it home safe and sound.

The Elliotts also bought a house in Hudson with the help of Pennie Peterson at WESTconsin Realty. “It was a ‘short sale,’” Sharon recalled. “Bruce was getting nervous because the banks involved on the other side of the transaction were so unpredictable, but Pennie sat us down and explained everything to us, and eased Bruce’s mind.”

The end result was a successful transaction and a happy home for the Elliotts and their dogs.
