"Rick and Brenda made the process so smooth, answered all my questions, was super friendly, we closed within 30 days with a few hurtles."

"If you're a first-time homebuyer looking for a patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly flexible mortgage agent, look no further than Rick! From the very beginning, Rick made the entire process feel manageable. He was incredibly accommodating with my schedule, working around my busy days to answer questions and explain things in a way I could understand. There were times when the paperwork or terminology got confusing, but Rick never hesitated to break things down and make sure I was comfortable before moving forward. What truly impressed me was Rick's flexibility. The housing market can be unpredictable, and Rick was always willing to adjust his approach based on any new developments. He never made me feel pressured or rushed into any decisions, and he constantly offered guidance and support throughout the entire journey. Thanks to Rick's expertise and willingness to go the extra mile, I was able to navigate the homebuying process with confidence. I can't recommend him highly enough!"

"I’m a travel nurse, who had taken a few years away to raise my kids. I had been back six months. The other lenders were requiring a year despite fha saying six months given the years prior to the break.
Rick is a very determined guy and I knew from the start, if anyone would get it done, it would be him.
Initially I got the preapproval for conventional with 10% down. Which was rather heartbreaking as I’d had my mind set on FHA.
A couple weeks before close, Rick got us approved for FHA!!
I type this while sitting in my new home.
Do the application. You won’t regret it!"
