"Rick Scherer was our lender who did an outstanding job. We were caught off guard without lease and owner wanted us to buy or vacate within 60 days. We originally reached out to local lenders who told us to come up with 60k cash or advised us to rent in a different down but it just wasn't possible. Rick got us approved same day with no money down. No back and forth, easy to work with, professional, polite and most of the time seemed to be the only person on our side and advocating for us, as the realtor fumbled at every step. We highly encourage you to reach out to Rick, he gets it done when others seem to bothered to make it happen, words do not describe the reflief we had, reach out and working with Rick. He made a miracle happen while being an absolute pleasure throughout. Thanks Rick and Brenda!!"

"Rick went above and beyond to help our family with pre-approval all the way to closing. We were actually able to close 10 days earlier than planned which means start to finish took less than 30 days!! We highly recommend Rick and Brenda. We are officially homeowners thanks to all their hard work!!"
