Nick Fairbanks and his team were so exceptionally helpful and professional. This was such a smooth and easy process. This is my 3rd transaction with Nick and his team. I would recommend them without a question.
Very positive experience. Nick was very prompt, patient, knowledgeable and understanding. Excellent loan officer and team whom I would recommend to others. He made the purchase of my 1st home less stressful and a good experience. Thank you!
We would like to extend our gratitude to Nick and his team for their assistance throughout this home-buying process. As first-time homebuyers, I know at times we had a lot of questions, so we thank all of you for your patience and quick responses. The process went much smoother than I had expected and we truly appreciate everything Nick and his team contributed. We are happy to say we are all moved in and busy working on the unpacking process (and of course I mustn't forget all the yard work we now have.)
This was the best financial transaction I have ever experienced. Nick and he's staff are incredibly fantastic to work with. I felt informed and respected throughout the process. I never felt lost or as if I was a burden. Correspondence was very prompted. The staff treated always knee who I was and where I was in the process. They treated me as they would've treated a family member.

Everyone who worked with us was helpful, professional and efficient. We are happy with the service we received. Lori Matthews was with us in this process from the beginning when we were looking at possible homes to the time when we closed, moved in and beyond. She was always quick to respond to our questions in meaningful ways, and helpful in supplying information. She was very professional, competent and knowledgeable. Beyond that, she treated us like good friends in caring and thoughtful ways. Thank you.
