My wife and I…read morerequested a 3 week closing to accommodate a seller that needed to close on their next home, and Jenni made sure that the appraisal was ordered and delivered right away and that all documents were gathered efficiently. As a realtor, I work with a lot of lenders, but Jenni also educated me on parts of the lending process that I hadn't known before. If you need a lender who will do whatever it takes to get you closed on time and on budget, look no further. Jenni's experience and client appreciation is a testament to her excellence as a trusted lender.

Emily Franke of SWBC Mortgage: rate of 3.25% Deborah Ginac…read moreof Capstar Lending: rate of 3.375% Melanie Hadley of Cornerstone Mortgage: rate of 3.25% Todd Turlington of Mortgage Lending Solutions: rate of 3.186% I shopped around with a total of four mortgage brokers and one bank, and Todd's numbers (including APR and fees as well) simply speak for themselves. With numbers aside though, I have received by far the best customer service from Todd. He is courteous, very responsive (seriously, I've called the guy at 10pm), and most importantly, he didn't give me the run around like some of the other lenders. Long story short, Emily Franke of SWBC Mortgage royally screwed me over. Just wait for that review- OH, it's comin'. I was lucky enough to have a good real estate broker who put me in contact with Todd after this all happened. While others rushed me off the phone, ignored crucial information, and/or confused me even more, my first phone call with Todd was a whole hour long. He took the time (on a Saturday!) to review every single detail and explain everything that I needed to know. I was extremely pressed for time, and Todd spent the day on Sunday doing about a week's worth of work in order for me to get the house that I wanted. Since then, he has been constantly in touch to update me on the status of...well...everything (by "everything" I mean the million things needed to come together to close on a house). He even went above and beyond to find me a hazard insurance policy that was $300 less than anything else I was quoted (yes, with the same amount of coverage)! I mean, c'mon, you can't tell me that your lender has ever done that for you. I'm ecstatic. Wait, that wasn't convincing enough. I'M ECSTATIC. SO FLIPPIN' ECSTATIC. I'm moving into the perfect house, and I can confidently say that this would not be happening if it wasn't for Todd Turlington.

I had previously been trying to work with my bank, USAA, and it was a real headache. I was never able to speak to the same rep twice, they weren't clear about what I needed to do to get my numbers where they wanted them, and they didn't seem that invested in the process. Cheryl sat down with me and spent time to figure out a plan to get me where I want to be. I'm a small business owner, so getting a mortgage can be even more complicated than it is normally. She gave me a very clear action plan on what I need to do to get the mortgage I want. Really couldn't be happier with her level of service.

My wife and I closed on a house yesterday in Georgetown. Cheryl and Jeff put my loan together…read more Two requirements for a mortgage lender. First is they need to have a strong back end. The local contacts don't ever actually float the mortgage, they assemble the information and submit it to the underwriter who in this case is SWBC in Houston. Secondly they have to be able to understand the input information and get it assembled in the right way to forward it. Huge bonus points if they are professional and nice and dedicated and answer the phone and care about what they do. I'm a veteran and small business owner the combination of which one would think was not that unusual. But the first lender (who worked for the builder) spent three and a half months trying to figure it out only to tell me the week before closing that I could not get the loan. Fortunately my realtor sent me to Cheryl and Jeff. In two weeks with a minimal amount of pain (on my end) they were able to put everything together and get us to closing at a good rate and a wonderfully small cashier's check required. And they got all the bonus points. They are exceptionally nice, professional, accessible (that should be moved from the bonus section to required section) and dedicated. To ME. Working late into the night on my package and just cheerful about it (that part was unsettling.. they are invariably cheerful). I would not hesitate for an instant were I to start again today. Cheryl and Jeff have my thanks and lifetime loyalty.

Chad Bowman and his team at United Lending are AMAZING!!!…read more We went through an appraisor nightmare, and they fought for us! Our re-finance finally went through thanks to all of their hard work. I think most lenders would have dumped the problem on us, leaving us to make the many, MANY phone calls and emails it took to clear up the problem. Chad and his team really cared about what we were going through and made so much effort to get the problem resolved. I can not say enough good things about them. Really juat an amazing experience. Thank you so much! I really wish we had had Chad and his team when we first purchased our house. I will never go through any one else again.
