Kevin is amazing. Love that he is willing to go over every single option and strategy to make sure I know we are making the right choices. Not only is he patient dealing with me throughout the past couple years to finally close on one house but is also extremely reliable and responsive. This was helpful for us to make sure we did not lose out on any diamond in the rough opportunity. Thanks everyone!

Kevin and Tyler were my loan officers. I am a first time home buyer and I appreciate all their help every step of the way. The home buying process seemed intimidating but with their help I was able to navigate with confidence. If anything came up they helped me get through it. I could really trust them both.

Working with Kevin on this new house deal was great, he listened to our financial goals and helped us find the options that fit our criteria. The fact that the process for our scenario to finish took almost 9 months from acquiring the house on a short close (lending was ready in 13 days) to funding the refinance last week, only highlighted the efficiency and focus of the team. Now we get to focus on having this house paid off in the next 10 years instead of my 15 year estimate.
