I've used Patricia for two home loans (one in Texas, one in Oklahoma) and one home re-finance. She…read morewas originally recommended to me by my realtor. Patricia is very thorough in explaining every part of the home loan and re-finance processes. She takes the time to ensure you understand what's going on instead of only sending status updates like some other loan places. In addition to her detailed communication, Patricia responds to emails, texts, and calls lightening fast. I appreciate her work style as that's how I operate in my daily job as well to maximize customer satisfaction. I will continue to partner with Patricia on all of my home loan/re-finance needs in the future and highly recommend her!

We could not have asked for a better lender. Patricia truly went above and beyond for us. She took…read moreour calls outside of business hours and answered all of our questions. She is a true professional and closing on time is a given if you work with her. I will continue recommending Patricia to anyone that needs a lender.

I found these amazing folks after looking at the reviews on here of many other lenders. It appeared…read morethat some of the most advertised companies on TV had the worst reviews and horror stories. I quickly realized that Brent's 5 star review history is a real rarity in this type of business. Brent's team worked hard to make us feel like we were buying the most expensive house on the planet. Anytime we had a question no matter how big or small we got an almost immediate response. They gave us all our options in financing our new home and took the time to explain to us the pros/cons of each of them. I have zero hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking to purchase a new property. When the time comes (many, many years from now) that we are looking to purchase another home we will definitely give Brent a call.

When Highlands Residential Mortgage hired Linda Mister, boy did they do a good thing. She's one…read moreprofessional that has my business for as long as we are in Texas. Doesn't get any better than Linda Mister and her dynamic team of working professionals. We came to Linda Mister-Owens on a referral from our trusted Realtor (see separate review). She said "Call Linda. In all the 2+ years I've known her, if she says she can do the loan, she delivers 100% of the time." That was all that we needed. We called her, gave her our scenario, and she told us she could do the loan. Our home contract had gone belly up when our previous lender had missed our closing date on December 9th. Linda and her incredibly experienced team worked diligently to get us in the home in record time. They even had roadblock after roadblock with the previous lender, including ethical issues that Linda coached us through. And she still managed to close on our house 10 days later. I still don't know how she did it, but she pulled out all the stops and made it happen, with the primary goal of getting our family in the house in time for Christmas. A wonderful group, and seriously, the best Loan Officer EVER. She completely has our loyalty! THE GOOD (Not all inclusive) Very quick response time Incredibly experienced Has Underwriter experience, so knows exactly how to package your loan for the UW Digital documents (via Docusign) Cares about her customers (as does the whole team) Large team = always covered when anyone is out of the office A trusted advisor Loan types: FHA, VA, CONVENTIONAL, JUMBO, USDA, BOND LOANS, TEXAS VET and many others All types of refinances, home improvement loans, etc. THE BAD (NONE!)

If he was too busy to pay attention to me as his customer then he shouldn't have taken me on. Then he shows up at my closing? Really? I never had met the man - just dropped off papers at his office. But the worst thing - he saved me $600 / month by refinancing, BUT they calculated the insurance / taxes wrong (evidently figured taxes only on property, not on the house I bought that was built in 1980) so after about a year of lower payment, my payment is back up to where it started ! And I paid all those fees, appraisals, etc..! I would have never refinanced had they calculated correctly. I was not behind on the original note! Big regret using them.

Although I am much younger and relatively inexperienced when it comes to investing compared to the rest of their clientele, i have never felt as though I was inferior or "talked down to" by anyone at First Funding. There have been several occasions where I would go in and speak with Mr. Gumm about investments, real estate, etc.for 30-40 minutes at a stretch. Not once did he ever cut short our conversations or dismiss me in a rude manner, although he certainly had every right to since it was I who was constantly taking up his valuable time. Instead, he as well as the other members of the company have always treated me with respect and have provided honest feedback and responses to my queries, which I wholeheartedly appreciate. I have also never felt though as though i was cheated or duped in any of the investments that I have participated in and have always been notified each month as soon as the checks were ready for pickup. Mr. Gumm and his colleagues at First Funding have demonstrated to me that they are not only outstanding professionals, but more importantly, are upstanding individuals.
