Real Stories from Real Owners

I live in Indiana and found my new home in Berea KY through realtor Darrell Reynolds from Remax. When it came time to set up a loan, Eric Kimble was there to advise, guide and assist me to facilitate this process long distance. He answered any questions I had (even when they seemed dumb), offered great advice and if he was unsure, he would go out of his way to find answers or work with the realtor to find the right ones. He was there to explain each step along the way. His customer service exceeded my expectations and I am grateful with his professionalism and patience and friendliness.

Brent Tye does a thorough job when providing pre approvals for our clients. Other agents can trust that if he says they are approved then there shouldn't be any surprises before closing. He has even helped save deals when loans fell apart with other lenders.

Eric is very knowledgeable and makes sure you get the best loan for you. Him and his office staff are also excellent and efficient with your loan docs needed and you aren't having to send the same thing over and over like you do with a lot of other loan officers. I highly recommend Eric.
