Great Experience —cdisque from Queen Creek, AZ

As a first-time home buyer, Travis was extremely helpful, honest, and knowledgeable about the entire process. He worked with a very short closing window, and never missed a step. And he was very personable too!

Highly knowledgeable and professional lender! —Jaime Castro from Anacortes, WA

A colleague recommended Travis and from the start, I knew I had made the right choice in choosing Travis as our lender. Throughout our entire process of purchasing our 2nd home, he was a pleasure to work with, thoroughly explained all action items and quickly processed all required paperwork/loan requirements. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Travis and will refer him to all my friends and anyone else who is looking for a reliable, astute lender.

RESPONSE:Jaime, thank you for the awesome review and recommendation of Travis - we appreciate it! Brian Unruh, CEO

Hands down the best! —James Petroske from Manteca, CA

Another loan with Travis is in the books! I was referred to Travis approximately 6 years ago and have always had a AMAZING experience! When you hear people say, “I have a guy already, but thank you”... Travis is “my guy”!! I can’t put into words how amazing it is working with Travis!! #GOGIANTS2014

RESPONSE:James, we are so glad to hear Travis is your guy and we truly appreciate the loyal business! Brian Unruh, CEO

Travis exceeded expectations —csimyak1 from Beacon, NY

My husband found Travis through his online searching. Travis was the only one who responded the way my husband requested. We were refinancing our home to take advantage of the low interest rates. Travis was always available, happy to answer any questions we had at any time & was extremely thorough. We would highly recommend Travis to anyone.

RESPONSE:Thank you for your recommendation of Travis and the team! Brian Unruh, CEO

Travis is responsive and very supportive —judydan3 from Kaneohe, HI

Travis is great. He is very supportive and always able to answer questions. He follows up and makes sure that the papers are processed correctly and in a timely way. Even in the midst of the pandemic he was successfully able to close the loan!

Easy Refinance —hollywoodusaf from Alexandria, VA

Travis made the process extremely easy. He helped us to get the rate we were targeting, and even found us additional credits. With the current lockdowns for COVID19, he was able to process most of the paperwork remotely.
