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.

Doug was recommended to us after we have gone through an awful experience with another lender. Our case was a bit unusual, as my husband is a Texas veteran. My husband contacted Doug, and within 48 hours, we were on our way to purchasing our new home. My husband and I are no nonsense type of people, who accept nothing but the best. Doug was able to exceed our expectations. He proved to us that he is a reliable professional with great communication skills. I recommend Mr. Smithe without reservations.

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

Moving is on the top 3 most stressful situations in one's lifetime - and Judy along with her team made this a smooth transition. I could tell immediately after meeting her the first time, that she was highly-qualified and really knew the business. She did a walk-through of our home and created a laundry list of (optional) improvements that would help sell our house. After only 3 business days, we sold our house at listing price! Additionally, the home appraiser appraised our house at listing price. So, all those minor improvements really paid off. Judy and her team are there to stand by you every step of the process and answer all your questions accurately and promptly. I could not be more pleased with their service and am so entirely grateful for their assistance during this life-changing process! Judy has over 35 years of reality experience and is repeatedly honored as one of The Austin Business Journal's "Top 50" Realtors.

I had previously been trying to work with my bank, USAA, and it was a real headache. I was never able to speak to the same rep twice, they weren't clear about what I needed to do to get my numbers where they wanted them, and they didn't seem that invested in the process. Cheryl sat down with me and spent time to figure out a plan to get me where I want to be. I'm a small business owner, so getting a mortgage can be even more complicated than it is normally. She gave me a very clear action plan on what I need to do to get the mortgage I want. Really couldn't be happier with her level of service.

My wife and I closed on a house yesterday in Georgetown. Cheryl and Jeff put my loan together…read more Two requirements for a mortgage lender. First is they need to have a strong back end. The local contacts don't ever actually float the mortgage, they assemble the information and submit it to the underwriter who in this case is SWBC in Houston. Secondly they have to be able to understand the input information and get it assembled in the right way to forward it. Huge bonus points if they are professional and nice and dedicated and answer the phone and care about what they do. I'm a veteran and small business owner the combination of which one would think was not that unusual. But the first lender (who worked for the builder) spent three and a half months trying to figure it out only to tell me the week before closing that I could not get the loan. Fortunately my realtor sent me to Cheryl and Jeff. In two weeks with a minimal amount of pain (on my end) they were able to put everything together and get us to closing at a good rate and a wonderfully small cashier's check required. And they got all the bonus points. They are exceptionally nice, professional, accessible (that should be moved from the bonus section to required section) and dedicated. To ME. Working late into the night on my package and just cheerful about it (that part was unsettling.. they are invariably cheerful). I would not hesitate for an instant were I to start again today. Cheryl and Jeff have my thanks and lifetime loyalty.
