"Quick Rick is the MAN!! It's still quite unbelievable how quick he got us from preapproval to closing. As first-time homebuyers, we had no idea what to expect in this process, but Rick's constant availability and swift responses to any and all questions made it a breeze. Rick- we cannot thank you enough for helping us purchase our first home. You will always be our go-to for all things mortgage related and we will spread your name to others any opportunity we get!"

"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"

"Rick was undoubtedly the driving force behind my recent home purchase from one state to another. Back in July my rental lease was set to expire in September and I was so over paying the never ending increasing costs to rent. So I started skimming mortgage lenders, came across Rick’s company, started filling out the application and decided not to finish it. Because I didn’t want my phone ringing off the hook by 5 million different agents. Well, here comes Rick a-calling the next day. First best decision, that I’d made on my purchasing journey, was to hear Rick out. I told Rick, I don’t have a pot to piss in, (well, I didn’t say it quite like that), I don’t want to live in a shack and I want to live in Tennessee. He said okay and he’d do everything he could and than he did. He got me a loan that I could afford and he went above and beyond to keep me believing that I will never again have to pay any one else’s mortgage by renting.
Rick was the voice that I needed to keep my spirit up, my patience refreshed and my belief strong that I was on the right path. Patience is helpful and none I have. Rick was my patience. He never left it up to me, lol, with my discouraging intrusive thoughts. Rick only had more homes to view, more areas to consider, more paths to explore.
Guess what? On August 23rd, I closed on my home in an area of Tennessee that I absolutely love and it’s not a shack.
Thanks Rick!"
