Chad Barnes —e616bp9 from Makawao, HI
After speaking with several lenders, I was fortunate to connect with Chad Barnes. Chad was friendly, personable, and professional. He took a consultative approach and I did not feel pressured throughout the process. I must have called Chad over 20 times and he answered every single one of my calls. Although we never met in person, Chad made us feel like family. I am huge on customer service/experience and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Chad. Chad, my family and I thank you for making this process seamless. I look forward to working with you again in the future and will definitely tell everyone I know about this awesome experience. Thank you so much Chad. -Nate

Chad responded immediately upon contact snd replied to each and every call! He demonstrated professionalism and interest in us and utilized his resources to save us from incurring additional expenses. His emails were concise and clearly documented the process and all requirements. His detailed instructions prior to our initiating the loan saved us much time. We would work with Chad in a heartbeat and will most certainly recommend him to friends and family members who might be interested in financing or refinancing their mortgage. Thanks Chad! Great job!

Exceptional Service! —hmarenus from Glendale, CA
I first tried rocket/quicken for my home refinance loan. They were slow and the products they were offering me were not competitive. Then I decided to try Costco. within 30 seconds of pressing the submit button on my computer, Chad was calling me from NBKC. After explaining to him what I was trying to do and giving him some additional financial information, he was able to offer me an excellent, very competitive loan rate. At all times during the refinance process, Chad was always available to me, and immediately responsive to my questions and concerns. The other two lenders who contacted me from the Costco program also were responsive and seemed fine, but Chad was simply exceptional.
RESPONSE:Thank you for sharing your experience and we're thrilled that we earned the opportunity to help out! Brian Unruh, CEO

NEAR PERFECT TIMING —CLAIRE BENNINGTON from Greenbank, WA
Mr. Barnes was personable and informative. There was no pressure on his part and no trying to sell me anything more than what I needed. Only con was that he routed for Kansas City while I routed for the 49ers. I will forgive him that one indiscretion. Thanks, again, Chad.
RESPONSE:Claire, we appreciate the wonderful review! And please forgive me but I can't help myself - GO CHIEFS! Brian Unruh, CEO
