Craig is spectacular!
“Working with Craig recently to buy our home was amazing. I never, and I mean NEVER do reviews, but this guy was so responsive, kind, helpful, and reassuring, along with being super accessible (way beyond expectations), I would wish that all companies could operate like the ideal example he has set. He knows his job and he does it really, really well and he seems to like what he does - else how could anyone be so good at their work? Truly, Craig, you're amazing and we are thoroughly impressed with your responsiveness, know-how, your patience, and your clear & communications. It was a true pleasure to work with you, sincerely. I would recommend you in a heartbeat! Suzi ”

Craig is awesome!!!
“Craig helped my husband and I buy our first home. We wrote over 20 contracts and searched for over a year. Craig was the absolute BEST to work with. His communication is amazing - he was always so quick to reply to emails, phone calls, and texts. Cannot recommend enough!! ”
—Marie Hildestad from Saint Louis, MO
Craig Park was great!
“Craig was referred by my investment company, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how friendly, helpful and professional he and Megan, his support specialist, were. They were always ready to answer my calls or emails. The nicest surprise was when the notary came to my house instead of me having to go to the bank! ”
—Elaine Davis from Mission, KS
Craig Park - Home Loan Closing
“Craig and his team were professional, proactive, and communicative. They were super responsive and helpful any time we had questions. Our realtors even mentioned how wonderful and easy to work with they were. They made the underwriting and closing process seamless and low stress for us. Thank you, Craig and Megan, for your help and expertise!”
—Molly Perillo from Milwaukee, WI
One of the Best I've worked with!
“Craig was able to accomplish our #1 goal- refinance our expensive construction-mortgage loan at a much better rate and better terms. His quick and accurate solutions really made it easy and met our aggressive time line. Craig's knowledge allowed us to look at other options to overcome a few unforeseen obstacles. We would highly recommend him to our friends and beyond. ”

Craig is the Best!
“Craig was extremely helpful in the first time home buying process! Being new to the home buying process, Craig explained everything well, and answered all questions we had. He was very clear and specific about what was needed from us, and was flexible in how it was delivered to him, whether that be secure upload or email. In addition, Craig is extremely timely in responding to all emails. I would highly recommend working with Craig!”

My experience with the lender was excellent.
“My experience with the lender was excellent. They were always very responsive to any questions or concerns I had, and they made the closing process simple and stress-free. Their clear communication and efficiency made the financing side of the purchase smooth and easy.”
