Customer Testimonials
As a partner in a new business and owner of a "unique property" (log house), I heard "no way" several times before I found Greg Phillips. He was able to offer me a few options, and I chose a refinance program that was perfect for my needs. And he got the loan closed in record time. I will refer him to all my family and friends!

Greg,
Well it’s been two months since the purchase of our home, and I feel that I owe you a thanks. Prior to meeting with you, buying a home was one of those nightmares that I really wasn’t willing to do. After our initial meeting, the overall process that you described was very soothing to my nerves and I was convinced that this was the best thing for me and my family to do. So I took the “plunge”.
I was not disappointed. Everything you and your company did to ensure that the service that you were providing was not only the best, but the fastest as well. I was impressed by the reliability that you provided and the overall impression that you left concerning buying a house. If ever I have to buy another home I will most certainly call on you for your services.
As with all types of business transactions, the idea is to have a customer return. I assure you that you have a customer for as long as you are in the business.
—Jay and Heather Boesman, Purchase Customer, Ohio
Dear Greg,
I want to tell you how pleased I am with how you helped me get a loan for an investment property.After our initial conversation I felt that I had contacted the right person and your performance in the following weeks proved it.
After presenting you with a difficult set of requirements you got the job done and I got the loan I wanted. When small problems came up – and in getting a loan there are always some problems – you were right on top of them, often before I realized what the issue was you had already solved it! You were great at keeping me informed throughout the whole process and giving me the facts instead of just telling me what I wanted to hear.Your actions showed me that you are truly interested in the best interest of your client and that you are more concerned with developing long term business relationships than making a quick buck. I can’t thank you enough! You said to me several times that you “Wanted to be my Lender for life” All I can say is You are now.

I know it's been almost a year but I wanted to thank you again for helping me to purchase my very first home. As you know, I've suffered through many years of bad credit and had to work so hard to get my credit score back to a respectable level. Even though I did so, my experience with banks and lending institutions over the years have left a very bad taste in my mouth. I was so used to hearing "no" when I would apply for loans or credit cards, that I didn't even want to walk into a bank or fill out an online form. I also couldn't face the fear of potentially being refused again, only to have a few more hard earned points knocked off of my credit score. I wanted to buy a house in the worst way, but was afraid to pull the trigger.
I stumbled upon your website by accident and I am so glad that I did.
I thought that you'd be another typical lending officer/salesman, but I'm glad to say that was my first and only mistake. I'm glad that I gathered the courage to call, as I knew within just a few minutes that I had found a genuine person who was willing to help me whether I bought from them or not.
For the record, you were THE ONLY lender that I spoke with that was willing to speak to me about my credit scores without having to file an application first. I cannot tell you how much it meant to me that you respected me right from the start and were willing to discuss rates and numbers with me based on those scores, before I even agreed to apply for a loan with you. That right there showed me that you were the person that I should be doing business with.
Not only do I sincerely thank you for helping me with my loan, I also wish to thank you for your guidance in making offers on homes, through a stressful bidding war, the eventual purchase of my first home, and answering all of the questions that I had about home inspections, insurance, PMI, the various loan types, everything. As you already know through our email communications over the past year, you've gained a loyal customer and a friend as well. Eventually we will meet up at my home or yours, crack open a beer, and I'll get to finally shake your hand and thank you in person for all of your hard work.
Please accept my deepest gratitude and this testimonial. I wish the best to you and your family and hope to meet you in person soon!
—Ray and Francine Harris, Purchase Customer, Pennsylvania
