After going to numerous banks and being given the run-around with lots of documents and fees, my…read moremortgage loan was not approved. Then I heard about Equity Lending from a friend who has been dealing with them for a long time. I thought I would give it a try, especially that there was no cost involved for the application. Within 15 days my financing was in place and I could close on my investment property. That is after being delayed for over 2 months by the commercial bank with empty promises and countless paperwork and waste of time! This is the only way to go in the future. Thanks Equity Lending.

The worst experience we've ever had with a company. They lied to us on multiple occasions & even…read morewent behind our backs and tried to call the other spouse when they couldn't do a deal with the other. They are crooks with bad practices and we have reported them to the Better Business Bureau. I'd encourage you not to give them any of your money. See their response below. More lies and deception. And not even addressing the fact that they tried to play spouses against each other... go and listen to the calls and the things we said to your employees... terrible business.

He helped answer all of our questions and concerns as first time homebuyers. One thing that really stood out was how he helped us budget. He prequalified us for a higher amount but helped us come up with a feasible monthly mortgage payment that Wouldn't leave us "house poor" each month. Very grateful for that , Smooth and fast process, no complaints!

We completely loved working with him and my mom's a tough one to crack. Kyle answered all of my questions and I had a lot because I was a first time home buyer. I had no idea what to do or what to expect and he guided me making me feel at ease. He had an answer for everything and that made my confidence grow immensely. He is a true professional and an expert in his field. I look forward to working with him again. He's trustworthy and super knowledgeable. I truly enjoyed learning from his advice and I felt like he was always looking out for my best interests. Thank you Kyle!

Thank you!

A note from a satisfied homebuyer:…read more One of my followers on social media referred me to All Financial Services, specifically Malcolm Drakeford. Malcolm and I had an informational call on February 2, 2022. I was utterly sold by Malcolm's "no pressure" approach. I completed my pre-approval application and received my pre-approval letter the same day. After going through the motions of searching for a home, switching agents, and comparing quotes from other lenders, I decided to move forward with All Financial Services. Malcolm was ALWAYS available to answer my questions (he took my calls, texts, and emails while on vacation, from the car, and on the weekends). Malcolm advocated on my behalf during the offer and closing process and everywhere in between. Honestly, if you are looking for a lender that treats you like family, has your best interest at heart, will advocate for you when you are not in the room (or on the line), will answer all of your questions (with a substantive response), and show up at your closing. ---Look no further than Malcolm Drakeford. Even if you are not ready or don't know where to start, call him anyway!

From beginning to…read moreend when he took over my loan I got excellent service, they were professional, they were efficient and very responsive to all my questions of my needs. This was mine and my husbands very first time ever buying a home. We were nervous and we had no idea what to expect... But other people that we had spoken to and even other lenders were very pushy and very non-personal. Once Kwe Parker and his team got a hold of our loan it was like night and day... I will always recommend this team to anybody buying a home. Thank you so much for all the help you've given us!

One of the worst banking experiences I've ever had. We originally banked with Howard Bank, where…read morethe service was excellent. But since First National Bank took over, the quality has dropped significantly. Every time I visit, there are three or four employees standing around without greeting customers or even smiling. Whenever I have a question, no one seems to know the answer. On one Saturday, I couldn't access my safe deposit box because the only person who could open it wasn't available. Calling the bank is equally frustrating--no greetings, no assistance. I'm planning to close all my accounts and switch to a better bank soon.

She was so understanding and responsive. She made the loan process seamless and we were approved for the loan within 5 days. Howard Bank has taken the lead to make sure the Loan Forgiveness process is easier for the customer. Howard Bank has all the products we thought were only possible with a big bank. But unlike Bank of American we can call at any time and speak to a friendly voice. We can put a name to a face as opposed to relying on someone different by phone every time to give us a nonspecific, generic, and negative response. We have a great working relationship with LeNora and Howard Bank Centennial Place. I was so pleased; I transferred my personal account as well.
