My husband and I were so thankful for Brian's assistance in purchasing our first home. He communicated so well, not only to us but to our realtor, title company and insurance agent as well. He was very happy to answer questions and explain any documents. I would highly recommend him if you're looking to take out a mortgage!

Brian Padelford was our Mortgage Loan Officer for our first home purchase and couldn’t have made the process any smoother. He was extremely helpful and quick to tend to all our needs and questions we had about the process. He worked diligently to stay in communication not only with us but our realtor, the title company and other parties involved. If you want someone who aids in the process of buying a home and isn’t another burden to overcome during your home purchase he is the guy. Couldn’t recommend him more!

Working with Brian was a fantastic experience from start to finish. As a first-time home buyer, I greatly appreciated how clearly Brian explained every step of the mortgage process. He made a complex and often overwhelming experience feel straightforward and manageable. Brian was professional, easy to talk to, responsive, patient, and available to answer questions and guide me through each decision with confidence. Plus, he helped me find a great rate at a time when rates were high. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy lender!

Brian is amazing! He is genuine and kind and is truly looking out for YOU. He was constantly looking out for the best case scenario for my family during the home buying process and was super honest about next steps before letting us make the decision. He made himself available whenever questions needed asked and saw every step of the process through until the end. Definitely made our experience as stress free and pleasant as it could be.

Brian is amazing!!! He helped me buy a home in Arizona a couple years ago and when it came time to buy another in California. It was not even a choice. He has one of the most positive attitudes. He and his team are quick and diligent. They found me the best mortgage rates and helped me through the entire process. He managed all aspects of the process in a professional manner, and I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking to buy a home. He made the process easy. He was in constant communication with me, my selling agent as well as my buying agent and made the process as seamless as possible. He had all documents completed and the loan funded well before the necessary time limits. He continually went above and beyond during this stressful process of selling and buying a new home in a different state. He is a true professional and I can’t speak highly enough to his ability to do a great job!

I would never use your services again because you never let us know what our monthly payment was going to be until the week of closing and had to back out and lose our earnest money.

Brian is knowledgeable, honest and personable. He is one of the few loan officers that understands the closing date is not the date the file comes out of underwriting, that we need the loan docs at title three days before the closing date. Brians company is very competitive, and he sincerely cares for his clients.
