"I am a realtor in SC and had never used Rick. I had this elderly couple that I had sold their home and under contract for a new home based on their lenders approval. Less than 2 weeks from closing their lender dropped the ball. I sent them to two different agents that could not get it done. I was referred to Rick by another agent, gave him a call. He jumped on the file had been approved, through underwriting, and at the closing table on time. And today’s market that is unbelievable, I will always be loyal to Rick. He did an amazing job and pulled a miracle out of the sky. I have sent his number to several other agents. Thank you Rick for a fabulous experience."

"Rick was very easy to get a hold of and I never felt like I could not contact him which is exactly how you want to communicate with a lender. We were not passed around from one Department to another. Rick handled the whole transaction."

"Rick Scherer was our lender who did an outstanding job. We were caught off guard without lease and owner wanted us to buy or vacate within 60 days. We originally reached out to local lenders who told us to come up with 60k cash or advised us to rent in a different down but it just wasn't possible. Rick got us approved same day with no money down. No back and forth, easy to work with, professional, polite and most of the time seemed to be the only person on our side and advocating for us, as the realtor fumbled at every step. We highly encourage you to reach out to Rick, he gets it done when others seem to bothered to make it happen, words do not describe the reflief we had, reach out and working with Rick. He made a miracle happen while being an absolute pleasure throughout. Thanks Rick and Brenda!!"
