Bill and his team are fantastic to work with! I’ve been working with them to buy my first home, and the process and communication have been second to none. What initially seemed like a daunting task—gathering documents and sending them back and forth—turned out to be simple and stress-free thanks to their help. The communication can be a quick text if I have questions or a call from Bill letting me know where we are in the process. I have zero complaints and would absolutely work with Bill again.

I give an A+ rating to Bill McLeod and the team at Novus Home Mortgage. I was after a loan defined as a Bridge Loan or a short-term loan that helps homeowners purchase a new home before selling their current one or another loan along those lines. That, along with myself looking to work remotely in another state caused us headaches and stressful moments. Bill and the team at Novus had to work their tails off to meet the requirements needed to qualify. I could go on and on but in the end, we secured the loan and breathed a sigh of relief.
