My husband and I recently bought a business and were told by other banks that buying was not an option for us. We were down and defeated with rejection, thinking renting was our only option. We received John's information from our accountant Jackson McDaniel. John walked us through the process and we were pre-approved within 2 days. John was very patient and thorough with all the details. He responded quickly to emails and made communication easy. We were very impressed. Thank you!

Thanks to John and his team, we were able to close in three weeks exactly when our original lender was unable to make good on our mortgage loan offer!! We are so thankful for the effective communication and speed of service we received, so that we did not lose the chance to purchase our new home.

From the first time meeting John, it was easy to make a real connection. You can tell he wasn't just trying to sell us, but really wanted to make sure we were making the right decision for US! As first time home buyers, we had plenty of questions and John was always willing to jump on the phone or answer an email within minutes.
