Chad is the best of the best! —David Adams from Springfield, VA
Over the past 32 years in the US Navy, I moved 29 times, buying and selling homes. Chad has handled my last three mortgage deals (two purchases and one sale.) His ability to find ways to better the terms of the competition and his incredible responsiveness throughout the process are simply unmatched in my experience. Chad defines excellent customer service matched with outstanding value. I have and would recommend Chad to anyone seeking a mortgage. Best mortgage experiences ever!

I got My American Dream with Chad’s help —saladinodesigns from Julian, CA
had heard horror stories about online lenders, but I was having a difficult time with a local lender, it just made sense when it can down to it. Chad had all the experience and knowledge walking me through the whole process, finding just the right loan for me, an educated single mom of two in my early 40’s. He was upfront and logical and took the time to listen to all the entracacies of my financial situation. He always answered the phone or called me back with in 8 hours, he worked tirelessly on my loan and helped me every step of the way. My best friend is looking to buy a home and I have already told her about Chad Barnes. I recommend him 100% if you want your dream come true too. It can happen, don’t believe that you can’t. You work so hard everyday to give the best to your family, and it can come true with the right, knowledgeable lender. This Mother’s Day feels really good, my kids, dog and I are loving our new dream home in Julian, Ca. Our little piece of heaven thanks to Chad! Chad you and your wife are welcome anytime for dinner and apple pie!! Sincerely, Loretta Saladino
