Highest and best use of our money!…read more You'll get to really know that phrase working with Gerald McChesney. :) And it's a good thing. He will tell you that he treats your money like his own - and he does. The husband and I just purchased our first home and Gerald held our hand through the entire process. I've heard so many horror stories about getting funding, but if you listen to Gerald and come prepared, the experience is smooth sailing! Gerald really went above and beyond for us. We worked on securing financing before we started looking at houses, because with the insane sellers market in Austin, things go so fast and being prequalified helps your bid stand out. Do you know what else helps your bid stand out? A call or letter from your mortgage broker to the sellers, letting them know that you're all ready to go. That your financing is in the bag. If they select you, the sale won't fall out because the buyer couldn't qualify. We had started out at our big, nationwide bank - and quickly realized that a more personal and hands on approach would get us the best bang for our buck and that we wouldn't get lost in a crowd. I cannot recommend Gerald enough!!

Gerald is a true industry professional with such an amazing heart for his clients. As a Real…read moreEstate Broker I come across so many lenders in the market place and many are less than great. For over 9 years I have been referring Gerald McChesney to my clients strictly because he works harder for my clients than anyone else I know. He also continues to get rave reviews from clients at the end of the process. He is available not just Monday - Friday during normal business hours but also on weekends and weekday evenings should clients need him. He never gets frustrated answering questions even if they have been asked a few times before. He slows the conversation down to find out what exactly each individual client needs and what their short and long term goals are so he can then talk with them about mortgage options that best fit those needs. He will go to bat for clients and never give up fighting for them whether its simply a better rate and/or terms or something more major that may need to be overcome in the loan process. You deal with Gerald every step of the way and he doesn't pass his clients off to a team member after initial meeting. From an agent's perspective he keeps me in the loop throughout and makes sure to not blind side me or the clients, if he does anticipate a hiccup to arise during the process. Gerald McChesney is a rare find in a lender and I can't recommend him more highly.

All his communication has been fast, responsive, thorough, and clear. He's also very accessible. I've called during the lunch hour and he picked up the phone. The sellers wanted a quick close so my agent asked Capstar Lending for speedy mortgage processing. Mark Abernathy emailed me the loan estimate with no delay. He also got me a great rate of 4.125% for a 30-year-fixed-rate mortgage and asked me to contact him off I found any rate lower. Nationwide average mortgage rates were around hovering above 3.81% at the time. The monthly payments were even much lower than I expected. Loan origination fees are comparable to other lenders. Mortgages are a painful and solemn subject matter for many of us in the bottom 99% of the socioeconomic strata. In our phone conversations, Mark always had a very positive and cheerful tone that reassures borrowers that they weren't getting screwed over or committing to a life of discomfort... I would use Capstar Lending again and recommend them to others.
