"Rick was eager to answer all of my questions. Rick was very supportive and encouraging throughout the entire process. He always took the time to explain every step in simple terms I could understand. Every conversation felt like I was talking to someone who really cared about the people he was working hard for. I will recommend Rick to anyone I know in the market for a house. Thank you again Rick."

"After being turned down by another lender for a smaller amount, Rick was able to get me and my family into a gorgeous home for more than what we expected we could ever get. I cannot say enough good things about this man. He is on the ball with communication and honesty. Helped us from start to finish no matter what we needed or what questions we had. I’m sure he was glad to be done with our loan anyway, i 100% recommend him. He is so knowledgeable about everything and that really helped the process go smoothly."

"Rick,
Truly thank you for everything you and Brenda have done for us. We never thought we'd ever be able to buy a home and always be in the rent race. It's a depressing and hopeless feeling. You truly have no idea how much this means to us.
We've had to move so many times, and never felt like we were ever "home", because we weren't. We always knew we had to move when our lease is up. We were always restricted by our landlords, even if we wanted to paint our daughter's room or have a small garden. This move was different and surreal for us. To pull up to our first home, where our daughter would grow up, where we could have the chickens we've always wanted and even think about extending our family and having a nursery is beyond words for us.
Thank you for giving a small young family like us a chance, and sticking through it all and fighting for us. You made a difference in our lives, and we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
I wish you and Brenda, nothing but health, wealth and happiness.
- Megan and Randy "
