"Rick is hands down my new favorite person on earth!! My wife and I got strung along with another broker for our first home purchase. After feeling crushed when we had to back out of our first home offer because the other broker couldn’t actually do what he said he could, we met Rick through Facebook. Instantly he was off and running, told me exactly what we needed to do from the get go and made the entire process smooth as it could be. He answered all phone calls at all times or responded no later than a few hours. He even drove around checking on houses as we were moving into the same town he lived in from another state and basically gave us an honest opinion on each home and neighborhood. I literally could go on for hours about how awesome we were treated and not to mention he made sure WE CLOSED IN OUT FIRST HOME!! We move in next week and can’t wait and it wouldn’t have happened with out the help of Rick and his team!! Will definitely use Rick again for all my loan needs in the future!!"

"This guy right here is amazing!
We went through a local lender and they said my credit was too bad to be on a home loan so they’d only use my husbands. We needed both incomes in order to get a house in my area so that didn't work. I saw this add pop up and wondered. He contacted me and helped me fill out forms over the phone. I was praying it wasn’t a scam as that’s a lot of info well.. he got it to where both incomes are on it and we had a higher limit than I could have dreamed about. It certainly was not a scam and we close on our perfect home in the next 2 weeks. Keep in mind we started this process August 31st. It has gone so fast and smoothly all thanks to him. Couldn’t ask for anyone better to help us on this exciting journey. Also.. he has answered all of my questions no matter how stupid they are in a very fast and honest manner
10/10 recommend"

"Don't even know where to start we have been in the process for a few years now getting credit where it needs to be, having a bankruptcy a few years back buying a home seemed almost impossible. I found rick on Facebook and was very skeptical at first but once I talked to him I knew he knew his stuff. He walked me and my wife through the whole process and answered any questions I had in a very timely manner. I have spoken to several other lenders and honestly when my credit wasn't quite there they honestly lost interest. Rick helped from literally getting our credit to where it needs to be to the whole process all the way to closing. Not gonna lie it was the most stressed month I had in my life but he made it all make sense and helped us through it. Rick and Brenda were honestly the best and I couldn’t of asked for more decent people to handle my mortgage. I'm not the one to do reviews but this whole scenario is so worth the review. If your at that point of wanting to buy and are skeptical if your gonna be able to, get ahold of Rick he will make it happen I promise! Thanks Rick and Brenda!! Wes and Kim"

"As a first time homebuyer, the process was very smooth. Rick informed me pretty much about everything in the application process and was very easily accessible. He was courteous and provided a lot of clarity on what to expect."
