My husband and I are so grateful that we had the pleasure to work with Austin Clayton, I have never dealt with a professional person as he was to us. He was so pleasant , guided us through every process, that we needed to complete before the loan would go through, and then get the appraisal done, he was there for every step, we have never had a person like Austin to help us like he did, he worked so hard on our account, even if we had any question after closing during the week, and on weekends he was there, amazing personality. We just wanted to voice our appreciation for Austin Clayton, and to let you all know, what kind of a Mortgage Analyst you have working for you.. My husband and I would defiantly recommend Austin and Reliance First Capital. Again, thank you Austin, you’re the best…

I would like to express my appreciation for working with Donna Titone as my primary point of contact through my recent refinancing with Reliance First Capital. Donna is a consummate professional who was of great assistance throughout the process. She possesses what I call real-time communications skills and dedication, always available, on-point and very responsive. As with most refinancing processes, there were myriad underwriting demands and information corrections and research items along the way. Despite any administrative challenges, Donna was always straight forward, knowledgeable and focused on a successful outcome. When I became frustrated with multiple underwriting requests and near ready to pull the plug, she was encouraging and assisted in keeping things on track. I would recommend her without reservation to others, and am confident she will build a strong career with your or any organization.

Dale R. - MD

Very satisfied with the refinancing service I received. At first I was somewhat skeptical about refinancing my mortgage with an out of state firm. Formerly, I had always used the same local lender whenever I wanted to refinance or apply for a new mortgage. As I worked through the process I found my original concerns to be completely groundless. The company representative called me repeatedly, almost daily at first, describing the superior service provided by his firm and explaining to me why I should consider them to write my new mortgage. He was persistent, but in a friendly, polite, and informative way. I enjoyed speaking with him**.almost every day. He was always professional in manner and obviously very knowledgeable about financial matters. He asked right questions, and took a personal interest in helping me more clearly define and understand what was required for me to achieve my financial goals. After a month or so of conversation, I decided to engage his firm to refinance my mortgage. Throughout the process, the broker always stayed in touch and patiently guided me through the application process and final settlement. I will definitely consider this firm for my future financial needs.

I needed it to start moving forward. For that I just wanted to say thank you.

Mavel T. - MI

Excellent!!! All stars to the best of the best! I had the best experience with Ritu. She worked hard with me and took her time explaining everything! She definitely had her patience with every question and concerns I had in going through the refinancing on my home. With not having the knowledge of the process and breakdowns of everything she took her time explaining and even having to repeat herself several times for me to understand. She goes over and beyond! When she was on vacation she still was helping me out in my time of need which exceeds any expectations for customer service. I sincerely felt at ease with her and would recommend her to anyone that is looking for a mortgage analyst. She’s the best!
