After finding a home in the middle of winter to purchase, Jeff Cohen helped us finance a mortgage…read moreso we didn't miss out on this opportunity. We were not prepared to sell our current home yet, so Jeff was tasked with finding us financing based solely on our limited income and credit history. He was professional, detailed and explained the process in a way that made it easy to understand. His communication skills are excellent and timely, making us feel at ease. He is completely trustworthy and transparent which is so refreshing in today's world. In addition, Jeff made sure he included all involved parties in his communications so we were all on the same page. I loved working with Jeff and recommend him to anyone and everyone! In fact, when we sell our current home, we will be using him again to refinance. Jeff knows his stuff and is an amazing broker. Thank you so much!! Melanie and Terry Brady

On Thursday, June 30th I left a voicemail asking for a return call. Friday, July 1st I sent a text as asking for a follow up. Tuesday, July 5th, I called the branch asked to speak to a manager and was transferred to Tawny (last named sounded the same as Mike's, but not certain) and had to leave a voicemail asking for a return call. It's now, July 6th and I've not heard anything. I called another mortgage company, he took my info and called me back in 10 minutes to let me know I was approved. I've got excellent credit, job and income, I'm not difficult to approve. The lack of communication from this company is unbelievable! I'd recommend going ANYWHERE else but Parker Mortgage. It's now July 20th and other than a call from someone asking about my employment NO ONE has reached out. They ran my credit, it shows on my report, but ZERO communication. I found a home to buy, my offer was accepted and my financing is squared away... no thanks to Parker Mortgage. Stay far, far away!!

Admit it, shopping around for a financial institution is rather confusing. Having grown up near a…read moremilitary base and joined myself, I'd become familiar with the benefits of credit unions. Lower rates, better benefits. I remember when you had to be a member of a certain organization to join, these days I'm not so sure. So when I made my way to Indianapolis back in '95, Fort Harrison still resembled a base and I went with what I knew - the base credit union. I must say, this Credit Union has a lot fewer branches than I was used to, but they're spread out across town and you can also use Forum Credit Union when you can't find one. There are several account options to select from, and like most other banks, they offer FREE checking, affordable loan options, a Christmas Account, and they even cover your ATM transactions at other institutions so long as you maintain a certain level of activity. With the rampant corruption and downfall of the United States banking institutions, I guess I feel like credit unions are more trust worthy. FCFCU is a local establishment and has been named Best Places to Work in Indiana, which also helps me determine that my money is in the right spot. I don't know about you, but all the bank takeovers are wearing me out a bit (National City to PNC) and all the new names popping up and unknowns (what the heck is Stock Yard?) just tell me that you don't know what accessibility and fees will be hitting your money, whatever amount you have. I prefer the tried and true and will keep my checks routed to Finance Center Federal.
