Amy Stahl has done 2 mortgages for my wife and I. She’ll look out for you and has always made sure we got what we needed while making the process seamless. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again if the opportunity arose!

Stockton made the process of acquiring a home process very convenient and digestible. We were given great options, information, and were promptly contacted at every stage. Amy Stahl, in particular, was very helpful when guiding us through the process and electronic paperwork. I would recommend Stockton to others seeking to procure a mortgage.

Amy Stahl was incredibly knowledgeable and reliable throughout our mortgage application and procurement process. We heard from her at every step and she made sure we were able to understand exactly what was happening and when, which is absolutely necessary when buying your first home like us. We felt comfortable asking any questions that we had and knew the answers she provided would be accurate. I would recommend her to anyone for a home mortgage!

Jen was absolutely AMAZING. She was so consistent with my husband and I and made us feel so comfortable. We are in a time where it’s scary to buy a home. I’m so glad we had Jen on our team.

I knew when I decided to build a house that I wouldn’t call anyone else for help but Clay Brown. He was extremely helpful at every step. No question was a stupid question and no phone call was a burden. I would recommend him every time.

Clay Brown at Stockton Mortgage deserves 5 stars not just because he serves his buyer clients any time they need him but as a realtor, I know but I can count on him to be very responsive to questions that I have about anything related to mortgage rates, the mortgage market, and specific questions related to clients. If he doesn't know the answer, he will not only work quickly to get that answer, but he won't stop until he finds it. he's of the most supportive mortgage lenders. We've had to help us with our open houses and to be able to answer on the spot questions from open house spires. I highly recommend Clay and Stockton Mortgage!

If you want top notch service I highly recommend working with Clay. Moving from one state to another he went above and beyond to make purchasing our new home simple and convenient. He checked in with us frequently and was always accessible to answer any questions we had. Stockton Mortgage is an A+ Mortgage Company and I highly recommend giving Clay a call when it’s time to purchase your next home or property!

Clay Brown is awesome! VA home loans are already probably complicated as it is but I had some unique situations with mine as I was retiring but not yet had future civilian income established. Clay helped us make my families home ownership a reality. He really worked hard to navigate all the tricky situations. What I appreciated the most was the constant and in depth communication he provided. I cannot recommend him enough!!!
