I'll be honest, it was a little embarrassing that I didn't know that wholesale mortgage was a…read morething. I spoke with Mr. Allen and you can tell he's been doing this at a high level for some time. Instead of having to deal with the rates from a single broker, he is able to find the best rate from countless competitors. It's like a one stop shop and you know you're getting the best rate possible. What made it best though was that despite my lack of knowledge he was very kind in explaining the differences and showing me how he provides the most value. I'm so thankful to have come in contact with Allen Mortgage and I 100% recommend him to everyone. Thank you!!!

Amber Brittain and her team are amazing. We discovered her on the recommendation of our realtor,…read moreand were absolutely blown away by the Amber Brittain Team's communication, professionalism, and did I mention communication? Because we were in the loop and informed at every step of the way. We always felt informed, confident and in control of the situation. They also got us cleared to close in an amount of time I thought was impossible, but I totally get why my realtor kept referring to Amber as "the fastest gun in the west." Amber's broader team are also all incredible and just gets the job done. Aleshia, Nikki and everyone were all in synch, there was never any confusion... They are all also very straightforward and upfront with every development. Seriously, I never knew a mortgage could be stress free and efficient. Yet, that is exactly what I got with Amber and her team. An efficient, stress free transaction.

While I didn't deal with this company as much as my husband, you know what they say... happy and…read morerelaxed husband, happy wife! Hehe! And that's just what Taylor B. and his team did for my husband and I on our most recent purchase of our new home. Taylor came highly recommend by our realtor, and he made sure to live up to that recommendation. Taylor, Wilson, and Morgan all kept in communication with us (mostly my husband), and kept us up to date on what was needed, where things were in the process. Taylor made sure to make it to the closing on time ( which meant a lot since the real estate team we had didn't bother). It's the small things that make a difference, and these guys are good at the small and BIG things. Highly recommend Taylor et al!

The first few options that he came up with to accommodate this request were not thought through very well; I felt like he was not listening or understanding why we made the request. His support staff does a better job with customer interaction so the rest of the experience wasn't too bad.
