Success Stories
“I’m a retired banker, on the lending side. I am flabbergasted by how fast and professional this experience has been. We sent our application in last Tuesday, and here we are a week later on Thursday – 9 days later -- and we’re closing and the loan is being disbursed. Unheard of. Unbelievable.”
Sandra Metcalf, President — Pet Lodge & Spa
