On the contrary, financing my home with David was as simple as the process could allow. Although I had never bought a house before, I felt confident from the first meeting that I had chosen the right mortgage lender in David. Communicating with David and his team throughout the process was a pleasure. He was clear, concise, and quick -- you could even say dogged. I rave about David and his folks at Fairway and will use them again the next time I'm in the market for land or a house! Just call him.

Everyone we spoke with on their team was so kind, helpful, and genuinely cared about making sure we felt comfortable and informed.

When we decided on a Sunday that we wanted to put an offer on our home, Jonathan was quick to give us a call and talk through the next steps, making sure we were ready to move forward. We are so grateful for their support and highly recommend The Tipton Team to anyone looking for a lender that truly puts their clients first!

We have no doubt that Kim Alexander Johnson is the best mortgage lender in the Johnson City,…read moreTennessee area. When my wife and I visited with the intention of relocating from California, we were very fortunate to see Kim's advertisement featuring her extensive VA loan experience. We went to meet her at People's Home Equity. Kim quickly had us a pre-approval letter for a VA loan home purchase, and she put us in touch with an outstanding real estate agent. Getting a VA loan approved and closed on time can be a a very stressful process, especially with recent changes in procedures. Kim and her team, including Kim Pennington, expertly advised us and worked with us to submit the required documents and paperwork for the VA loan and appraisal. Kim worked late hours and weekends and was on top of the situation every step of the way to the successful conclusion. Throughout the process Kim was extremely professional, responsive, supportive, warm and good-humored. She was a joy to have in our corner. Her unwavering commitment made out home-buying dreams come true.

Honestly; I hate to even be leaving this as I have had great experience with SECU with the…read moreexception of this experience. I was a first time car buyer, hoping to secure my loan with SECU. I arrived with all of my required documents and was assigned a loan officer, Sara. To start out, Sara has ZERO customer service. She did not attempt to engage in any conversation with myself or mother and did not answer our questions with enough information from the get go. Instead of explaining the loan process, she asked me questions about how I would like the loan set up, if I wanted gap insurance etc. This was odd as these are usually questions you ask once you are approved. Needless to say, Sara said I was flat out denied and did not even suggest options to improving my credit as most officers do. When I returned later that day with a co-signer, she again did not greet me or engage in any customer service. It was honestly one of the most uncomfortable situations I have ever been in. She should not be in customer service. I was approved at another bank, with a very knowledgeable, kind officer. Oh, and I got the SAME rate as SECU.

This is the worst bank I have ever used. We have banked here for over 17 years and in that time I…read morehave never dealt with a more incompetent set of employees in my life. Examples are numerous but let's start with we "tried" to open accounts for our kids and teach them money management this bank could even set up the account. We tried to transfer and small amount to get the account and they didn't do that. Well they did one but not the other. Here is even a worse case their mortgage lender Andy told me it would be no problem to get a construction loan and when the time came to do the loan the uppers said no. I'm mean I'm A paper and this idiot basically wasted my time and I had to struggle to get another loan. Ps a full 3/4 of a point lower also. Here's another case they couldn't even wire transfer money to my sister without it being a ridiculous headache for me. She was closing on a house and need some quick assist. This wire transfer took 3 days and my sister almost lost the house. The cards they give you don't work out of state so if you need actual cash heads up don't travel with a SECU card and expect to be able to take out cash. The cards for my kids accounts never work even though I called in person while I was at the bank to make sure they were working properly. Basically I will be spending the day moving all my auto payments and banking today because the bank just sucks. Seriously state employees, of which both my wife and I, should sue this bank for the tarnish of state employees reputation they slander and devalue with their incompetence. Seriously those with real banking need avoid this bank!

You want to buy a house? Chad is the man! How many lenders do you know who would drive out of town on a Saturday morning to meet you and get your paperwork started? No one I know of but Chad did to make it easier for us since my husband and I had opposite shifts. Seriously, this man can help close on a house in 32 to 35 days!

She diligently crunched my numbers and showed me as qualified where my primary bank fell through, she walked us expertly through a complicated foundation issue discovered in the appraisal which otherwise would have been very stressful, and she educated and advised me on all the options of when to lock in the best rate and how to lower it or the potential PMI. She gave me high and low scenarios depending on anticipated appraisal and responded to all of my needs patiently and warmly. Her assistant Cameron was tremendous as well and reached out via phone and email and kept the ball rolling with ease. The whole experience, coupled with our INCREDIBLE and highly rated real estate agent Nick Hinton and ace assistant Renee Oullette was a phenomenal experience of partnership, teamwork, and success!
