Aaron is with you every step of the way and always follows up with next steps; with Aaron you are never left wondering what's going on. Aaron is also the best at finding you the best rate, even better than our family friend. He is so good that I have referred him to my aunt, my mom, my cousin, and 2 of my friends and they have all used him. We all now have a "loan guy" and I hope he never retires because with Aaron you know there isn't anything hidden.

UPDATE: 11/30/18. I finally decided to call back and spoke with Rich A. We talked a bit and I…read moretold him what I wanted - to take some of my equity and payoff credit card debt - refinancing my mortgage. Initially he said he would put together a package. A little while later I got an email saying we were not at the correct LTV ratio to refinance. WHAT THE!!? Ok I am new to mortgages but I thought you could refinance at ANY time, not just when you have under 80% and can lose the mortgage insurance. Also, he should have known that while initially on the phone with him. I told him specifically what our mortgage was, how much I wanted for CC and what our home should appraise at. Btw, they check the value of your home based on websites like Redfin and Zillow and Trulia. We've done some extensive remodeled which obviously would not be reflected in the websites estimates- but that wasn't even taken into account. Our home was flat valued at market rate for the AVERAGE unit in our area. No thought of compensating for the kitchen gutting and remodel or the bathroom refresh, which can add serious value to equity. Not even a suggestion of an appraisal Just a flat out "we cannot help you" Hmm, someone out there will refinance us and get a good chunk of change doing it - and we will pay off our CC's and still have tons of equity -just not with these folks. Good luck and God bless .... Review 10/20/18 approximately - I don't know ... I heard the ad. I went to the website and filled out the contact form. I waited for a call back. Nothing. I called the number that was the personal phone of owner. Left a message requesting a call back. Nothing. So.... what's up? Selective responding?

I recently worked with Bixby Knolls Mortgage to buy my first home, and came away from the…read moreexperience very impressed. Applying for the loan was painless, and I appreciated that Tom called me to discuss interest rates, where they might be going, and different financing options at length. He took a fair bit of time out of his busy day, and I appreciated that. When I started interviewing agents, all of them knew of Tom & his team and were happy to hear that I was working with him. Definitely not the reaction I would have gotten with an online lender. During the transaction, I appreciated Lauren and Tom's prompt, timely communication of the status of the loan, along with any items I needed to take care of. Tom again took the time to walk me through the terms of my loan, the rate, what a rate lock is, and any questions I had as a first time home buyer. We funded & closed on time (despite labor day weekend happening in the middle of the transaction), and I got a great rate on the home I wanted. I'd happily recommend Bixby Knolls Mortgage to anyone looking for a good lender, and they'll be my first call if I want to refi or purchase a new home in the future.

It was a fairly complicated transaction involving 4 parties, 3 houses, and 2 other lenders assisting the other parties. Tom was great at walking us through the initial steps, locking in our rate, and keeping all teams focused and on target to close.
