We had talked to lender after lender in hopes of relocating to Texas. Time and time again, we were…read moretold that our situation was just too complex. We were referred to Emily and her team by our agent, and we were SO impressed by their responsiveness, patience, and professionalism! We were able to do what other lenders said we could not because of how dedicated Emily + her team was. We now live in our dream home, and I refer all my loved ones to her because she is someone I trust 100% to do an incredible job. Also, I'm an agent so I have had my fair experience of working with lenders, and Emily and her team are simply THE best, hands down.

Eric is the best lender I've worked with. He was available to talk to whenever I needed him. He is…read morestraightforward, easy to understand, and he got me a good rate. I'd been trying to get approved for about a year and every few months I'd call him saying I found a house I need to buy he always talked to me on the phone, ran my numbers. Seriously this happened maybe 3-4 times. Every time he took my request seriously and went over everything with me. I was finally approved for my dream house and at a great rate! I can't speak highly enough of Eric and his team they feel like family.

Eric and his team were fantastic. This was my first house purchase and he has a customer for life…read more His team was professional and seemingly always available. No question was too dumb. The very first time I was referred to him, he took me through the process, step-by-step, to make sure I understood every little detail (down to payments based on interest rates, mortgage loan program, etc.); unfortunately, I was not ready to buy at the time but he kept in contact with me (while being respectful and not annoyingly persistent) and called when I said I might be looking into buying a house, again. Although the delays in buying kept coming, he was faithful and continued to answer any questions I had. When I was finally ready to buy, Eric continued to answer questions (many of which I had probably asked several times before) before his team eventually went to work for us. When we finally executed on a contract, we were able to close in three weeks, due in no small part to Eric's team! THREE WEEKS! Throughout the process, I never felt like Eric or his team disappeared, as they were always ready and willing to walk me through any concerns or questions I had. Both the buying and selling realtor highly praised Eric's team due to his communication; the buyer, seller, realtors, title company, etc. were always on the same page because of Eric. The seller's realtor told me on closing date that he had never worked with a better mortgage team. I apologize if this sounds like an ad (or if you see this same review posted elsewhere), but I simply cannot recommend Eric's team enough. His team went out of their way to give me a great experience and I simply want to spread the news! Give him a chance, you won't be disappointed!

Thank you, Dean, for putting up with me, sticking with us and working tirelessly to get us into our home!

I recently purchased a home in the Austin area and was referred to Kassalin Calhoon by my realtor…read more That was simply the best referral I have ever been given. Let this be known- I cannot say enough amazing things about my lender, Kassalin Calhoon. This girl is the best of the best and doesn't bat an eye while continuously going above and beyond for her clients. If it is possible, she will make it happen. I won't even sugar coat this - while buying my first home I was high maintenance, had more questions than answers and required a ton of hand holding (starting from the very first phone call we ever had all the way through to how to make my first mortgage payment) and she walked me through every step of the way. With every curve ball real estate could throw at us, she never got frustrated and was the most patient human on Earth for a solid 3 months. She made the entire process easy to understand and helped me feel confident purchasing a home for the first time. Kassalin comes with the highest recommendation and stamp of approval I can possibly give. If you are buying a home anywhere in the state of Texas, I highly recommend you reach out to her. There isn't a better person out there to do business with.

His knowledge of the local and national market and his commitment in finding us the best rate helped us in our search for our dream home. As first time home buyers here in Texas everything was new to us and the most important thing we wanted was someone we could trust.

We hit a few snags in the process but in the end we were able to get our dream home. We could not have done this without him. I highly recommend Steve and his company to my friends and family. We have made another friend for life!"

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.
