She was able to get me the best rate in such competitive market, but that was not the best thing. Our seller had so many reservations about the VA loan (wanted to sell to someone with conventional loan) but when seller and their agent talked to Lana and asked so many questions, Lana was extremely patient and addressed all their concerns and finally we got our offer accepted just because of Lana Jern. She remains so busy but she or her team-member always found time to respond to any of my questions. 100% would work with her again. Summary: Extremely knowledgeable, puts clients interest at the top, result driven, courteous and friendly

It wasn't even a competition between the lenders, Leahy lending was by far the best. I worked with James on a refinance and he advised me as if it was his own home. The other lenders were obviously just trying to rush through the process and just get it closed, but James at Leahy Lending took the time to actually tell me the pros and cons of different paths and advise me on the best way to meet the goals that I wanted out of the refinance. I would highly recommend Leahy Lending to help with a new home or refinance. They can make a very confusing and process approachable and easy to understand.

When we began our search for a home, we thought we were looking for a realtor. What we found in…read moreLaura Tomaszewski was so much more. From day one, Laura took the time to truly get to know us as people. She listened carefully to what we liked and didn't like, understood our goals, and took the time to learn what was most important to us in finding the right home. She didn't just help us search for houses... she became a trusted advocate who genuinely championed our interests every step of the way. Laura went above and beyond in ways we never expected. Every property we considered was thoroughly vetted, not only for its features and condition, but also for potential issues that could affect us down the road. Whether it was physical concerns with the property, deed restrictions, HOA requirements, or anything else that might impact our future enjoyment of the home, Laura dug deep and made sure we had the information we needed to make confident decisions. What impressed us most was the level of care she brought to the process. She evaluated each home as if her own family were purchasing it. We never felt pressured. We never felt rushed. We always felt protected, informed, and supported. Buying a home can be stressful, but Laura made the experience as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Her professionalism, attention to detail, knowledge, and genuine care for her clients set her apart. She isn't simply selling homes... she's helping people create the next chapter of their lives. We are incredibly grateful for everything Laura did for us and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you want someone who will truly have your best interests at heart, Laura Tomaszewski is the person you want by your side. Thank you, Laura, for helping us find not just a house, but a place we are excited to call home.

On 4/17/2026, $2980.00 was stolen from my RBFCU account. Even though RBFCU says they provide NCUA…read moreinsurance, they have denied reimbursement. They have said the facts show I clicked "ALLOW" to approve the transaction on a text they sent me. This is NOT TRUE. I never even saw the texts as I was in deep conversation with "their fraud dept representative". They want me to believe someone could have called me from their number but they won't believe that the same someone could have hacked and taken over my phone! My facts are that I received a text from RBFCU followed by a call from their phone # 210-945-3300 (the same # they alway and continuously call me from). Their rep proceeded to guide me to make transactions geared toward stopping and preventing the continued fraud being attempted on my account. When I immediately tried to call RBFCU fraud dept to verify I was talking to them, my hold time was 58 min/58 sec. They finally called me back 1 1/2 hours later from the same # 210-945-3300 they have always and continue to call me from. These facts lead me to believe it was RBFCU who stole my money! This bank in which I've been a member for 14 years has accused me of being complicit in a crime. I have all my money with these people. I have had car loans, home equity loans, cds, money market accounts, checking and saving accounts. I have excellent credit including a well above average credit score. But they are insinuations that I am a thief. They used to be an excellent company but no more. Please stay far away if you want your money to be safe!

Loan Officer gave a total of costs but then the processor said there were zero costs and no one would broach the amortization schedule question. I called the manager and he finally gave me a break down of costs , FINALLY. He said that they just make you pay $14 for every thousand drawn out. I used a loan calculator site and that effectively is 17% interest amortized over 25 yrs ... or 7% interest but 7.5 yr amortization schedule. They are screwy all the way around. If they're screwy for helots , they're probably screwy for ANY loans or savings accounts ..... anything. Steer clear of them. Go ANYWHERE else !

This review is long overdue. I highly recommend Doug and his team at Caliber. We went through a…read morecouple other loan companies and were told that we wouldn't be able to purchase another home until winter of 2017 due to some issues with our rental property in another state. Our Austin lease was up, and there was no way I could stay in the house that we were renting, with that landlord, for another month! We were going to move out, rent an apartment, and then move again when we purchased a home in December. I am so grateful that I ran into Doug's website while researching another type of loan. To make the long story short, Doug made it happen, with a rate that was less than 4%, and we were able to move into our new home a day before our lease was up! Doug made what I thought was impossible happen, and we are now currently preparing for our first holiday in our new beautiful home.
