I just closed escrow today, and the one thing that I really want to do right now is write a few…read morewords about Patrick who was my loan officer. We went through two loans together in the past 5 weeks or so, the first one a super-rushed, 10-day-to-close loan that I was bait-and-switched into by another lender but which ultimately fell through due to low-appraisal failed negotiations, the second one being the one I closed escrow with today. You learn a lot about a person during trying times. Believe me, that first loan was a tough situation and very time-critical. Patrick pulled through for me in a time of crisis. All through both loans, Patrick consistently demonstrated commitment, expertise, steadiness, good nature, humor and wit, open communication, honesty, and leadership. I am grateful to have had Patrick on my side this time and look forward to working with him again for my next mortgage loan or refinance. Thank you, Patrick!!

Believe me, I had heard enough radio commercials to know that when it came time to refi, I was…read morebound and determined to experience their so-called no-closing-cost loan. But I knew I needed to be smart and check out other great sounding options. So I did. I offered several other companies our business, expressing the desire for a no closing cost loan. Other companies said sure we can do that, then when I looked at the fine print, it was obvious that they were just building the closing costs into a higher price point loan. NO. That was not what we wanted. I am happy to report that Skip at Miller Lending along with his team of hard-working folks achieved for us exactly what they have advertised and what we wanted. A no-closing-cost refi. It was all done via email and the internet. Even the closing part couldn't have been easier as the notary from the lawyer we chose came right to our house! Do you still have to go through the annoying process of supplying all kinds of personal financial information? Yes. But you have to do that with any mortgage loan. The whole process for us took about a month from beginning to end. Very much worth it as they have saved us about $300 a month!

Whenever we had questions, concerns, or just needed some reassurance, he was available to work with us and calm our nerves. We hit a couple bumps in the process (not his fault or the mortgage company) and he worked really hard and did the research to make everything go smoothly. He was always patient and took the time to explain every process throughout the entire process. Best part is they won't sell our mortgage to someone else so we get to keep working with him. Definitely recommend!

Raleigh Mortgage Group single handedly saved our homebuying process, and my biggest regret is not…read morestarting with them. We first connected with Alayna Weaver from Raleigh Mortgage Group during the preapproval process, while we were comparing rates among lenders. We eventually got a rate too good to pass up from a large commercial bank and went with them, thanking RMG for their help. The loan process from this bank ended up being a complete disaster, where problems arose last minute over things we should have been told weeks earlier. With closing coming up, and our trust in the bank fully broken after a week of fruitless back-and-forth, we decided to get our mortgage elsewhere, but it needed to be fast. I reconnected with Alayna, who gave us a sanity check by confirming the bank was being ridiculous, and snapped into action to help us. Within 36 hours, we had a fantastic rate in hand and were set up with a mortgage processor. Each time we ran into a problem, Alayna - who was readily available via text, phone, and email - as well as others at RMG (Hayley Jackson) and the processing team (Corry O'Neill and Kristina Polson) provided alternate choices or simply solved the problem. We closed on time and have our house, and we have them to thank. There are two morals here: 1. Commercial banks won't lift a finger to help you originate a mortgage, so only apply with them if you feel lucky. 2. If you need a mortgage in North Carolina, call Raleigh Mortgage Group.

Patrick is an…read moreexpert in all things real estate and lending--he walked me through every option available, from renovation and construction loans to standard mortgages, while also sharing insights on market rate trends, insurance providers, and smart loan strategies. He was always available for a call, even at odd hours and on weekends, and held my hand through every step of the process, which made things so much easier as a first time homebuyer. What stood out the most was his honesty and integrity. Even though he had the best rates and offers on the table, at the very last moment I received a discounted offer through my employer which was too good to beat. Patrick reviewed every competing option with me and genuinely advised that the employee discount was the better fit for my situation--even though it meant he wouldn't get my business. That level of customer care is rare, and it speaks volumes about his character. Patrick was always available for a phone call, saved me a huge amount of time and money with his guidance, and went above and beyond to make sure I felt confident in my decision. If you want someone who puts your best interest first, I can't recommend Patrick and Exhale Lending enough. He's the real deal.

He answered many questions and had lengthy calls to assist us in making the best decision for our family. In the end, our builder's preferred lender offered incentives that Stephen said were actually worth "real money" and not just a shell game, adding fees here and there to make the offer look more appealing. He advised us to accept their offer and lock in the rate before any chance of changes. When we expressed shock that he would be so forthcoming when it didn't benefit him, he simply said that doing right by us would bring us back to his company in the future if we ever need another loan.
