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.

Ritu is beyond "EXCEPTIONAL" from the start to finish she exhibits an unprecedented professionalism. She went above and beyond the call of duty. "Your attitude will determine your altitude". She has the A T T I T U D E and there is no scale to measure that. Well done! Keep up the good work.

I've been working with Alicia for about a year now and have had several clients use her company for their Real Estate purchase. Alicia really goes above and beyond to help people who never thought they could purchase a home. If you've ever been turned down for a mortgage in the past, I encourage you to talk to Alicia and see what her company can do for you! 

 
 
Thomas M. - TN 
It's unbelievable how much work Angela put in to get be funded in this process over a year worth of emails and phone calls back-and-forth returns every time she is definitely an asset to your company as far as I'm concerned. 

 
 
Kevin M. - AL 
Audrey was absolutely INCREDIBLE! KEEP HER! She’s an asset to this company! Audrey went absolutely above and beyond to help me and my family surprise purchase our first home for our 8 year old son. She was very very courteous, understanding, honest, and all around a ray of sunshine just to talk to through the whole process. She made sure that we were satisfied to the fullest! 

 
 
Ryan M. - PA 
Austin was very nice and helpful when I called him! However I had to check in for updates! 

 
 
Brandon P. - PA 
I had put the idea of refinancing out of mind after several unacceptable proposals were presented by other brokers. Brandon called with a sound logical approach that would accomplish my goals. He locked in the interest rate and I executed my loan documents five weeks later. I was kept informed throughout the entire process, and guided through the document and information gather steps. Kudos to Brandon and the entire Reliance First Capital team. Their industry knowledge and professionalism gets a 'Five Star' rating from me. 

 
 
Lauren P. - OH 
I am very satisfied with the process and cannot think of anything to improve upon. Brian did a tremendous job navigating me through this loan process. It was a particularly stressful time for me, and he went the extra mile to help me through all the process step by step. 

 
 
Joanne M. - PA 
Brian is very courteous and knowledgeable. He worked very hard to meet our needs. Highly recommend! 

 
 
Faye A. - AL 
Could not have asked for a better Mortgage Analyst to work with. As far as I am concerned Bridget is the best! Easy and pleasant to work with. 

 
 
Faye A. - AL 
I was very happy to work with this loan officer. She made it easy and not too much of a hassle. She returned every phone call and answered every question. Couldn’t ask for a better person to work with. This was a very pleasant experience. Thank you so much! I am computer illiterate and she helped me all the way. 

 
 
Melanie P. - MA 
Bridget was absolutely amazing. She always was there when a question came up and explained everything so I could understand it. She was very professional and compassionate about our needs. Will definitely recommend her to anyone who needs and type of mortgage help. Will be working with her again in the future. 

 
 
Elsie C. - PA 
I had the best experience. Bridget helped me through. I was scared at first but she made me so comfortable, thanks Bridget. 

 
 
Richard C. - AL 
Bridget was very helpful with this refinance by keeping us updated on its status and calling at least twice a week to make sure every was going ok. She even helped a computer dummy, me, in how to do the computer stuff. If I need to, I will call her in the future and pass her information on to my VA friends. 

 
 
Melanie P. - MA 
The entire process was easy and painless from start to finish. I thought it was going to be painful and stressful. Not with Bridget's help. She listened to what we needed and came up with several options for us. She explained everything to us so we were able to make the choice which was best for us. Bridget also was there every step of the way even when it was a different department turn to work on stuff. I would highly recommend Bridget again and look forward to working with her again in the future.

Cathy S. - NC 
I would once again like to take this opportunity to commend Christine Crutcher as well as Reliance First Capital for the efficient and seamless re-financing of my home. This is the second time I have refinanced with her managing the refi as well as assisting my sister with a purchase of her home which Christine handled as well. She is an amazing asset to your company. I have never had anyone – over my many years of purchasing homes – had anyone that handled it with such attention and accuracy and enthusiasm as she does. The average time to wait on a response from her was maybe 5 minutes. I also would like to thank you for the part you have played in the current and past as well. I will continue to recommend your company – as well as Christine – to anyone I know who is purchasing or refinancing. It has truly been a pleasure. I wish you both – and your families - a very safe and wonderful holiday and a very Happy New Year!

Francis Allen Pesci was my mortgage lender. He was great, stayed in touch every day with me. He explained everything ahead of time. Almost everything can be done by internet. He was fast and got my loan approved and funded in a very short time.

Jamie was very professional and pleased us through the entire process. She was very responsive and walked us through every step. Made what could be a stressful experience into a pleasing easy understanding experience. 

 
 
William B. - DE 
Joe was keeping me advised of every step in the process and was always there if I needed a question answered or had a concern. I have to admit, this is my third time in redoing a mortgage. This was by far the easiest process and less stressful process I have ever encountered. When I first decided to make the step in doing this I was getting ready to be Med to jump through hoops and do a two-step to get this all done, as in the past. But this process in the end was very easy and with very little stress. Joe Nagle, was so helpful and pretty much held my hand (metaphorically speaking) as he walked me through the process. Thank you! 

 
 
Robert N. - VA 
Joshua conducted himself in a professional manner from the very beginning of my loan application. He was always willing to any questions I might have concerning my loan application and did so in a prompt courteous manner. I feel Joshua had my best interests at heart throughout the whole process. He is a definite asset to your organization.

You can tell Karen loves her job, she went above and beyond through this whole process, I always felt comfortable with her.

I never thought I would be able to say this was a great experience but it was, only because of Karen Kenerson! Glad she was my loan officer...Thank you and have a great holiday everyone! 

 
 
Marisol A. - NY 
Kelly was patient, proactive, understanding and made the process comfortable to the best of her ability. Always kept us informed and supported our inquiries. It was a great experience for my family as well for my extended family who also went through the experience with the Mortgage Analyst, Kelly. 

 
 
Valery T. - NC 
Kyle has good verbal communication skills. 

 
 
Lawanda H. - VA 
Have Kyle train everyone because he went way beyond what is mostly expected from other Mortgage Analysts. 

 
 
Iris R. - TN 
Our loan officer, Kyle could not have made our loan process any easier...With the first conversation I felt very at ease and as if we had been long time friends. His sense of humor helped me feel like I could get through this and even have a few laughs without totally getting off the main purpose of the phone call...I will admit that I was very skeptical at first of applying online for a mortgage….In the past, I have literally hung up on telemarketers trying to talk me into a loan, I felt like they were trying to get personal information that could lead to a lot of trouble for me in a lot of different ways. I feel that your company is very fortunate to have a person with Kyles intelligence, personality and knowledge of making a loan to meet the clients' need.... 

 
 
Frank R. - MI

I was mortgage shopping for a refinance. Reliance First Capital was much better on rates than the banks I had been doing business with for years. Offered flexibility in options, were upfront with costs and the process. Marissa, my contact was superb. Professional in knowledge of what she could offer, understanding in how stressful the process can be and walked me through it. She could not have been better. Nothing was hidden or left unexplained. I highly recommend them. 

 
 
Leo P. - NY 
Mary made a financial experience that requires constant attention to details, incessant process follow-ups, and precise management of the work to assure proper execution a 100% success. Her talent, professionalism and personal attention made the difference for us. 

 
 
David O. - NY 
Mary was very helpful throughout the entire refinance process. This is the second time she’s helped me, the first time was my original mortgage about 7 years ago. I will definitely be coming back to Reliance First Capital and specifically Mary for any future mortgage or refinance needs. Thank you. 

 
 
Carol S. - MI 
Mason worked with me for many hours and always answered by questions. I would recommend him and his manager Jackie. They both worked with me very closely and even called me from after they were off work. That is true customer Service. These individual are both very ethical and honest. If you want someone that will make the process go through while being transparent you cannot go wrong with Mason or Jackie. I would rate my experience with them a 10 out of 10. I have no referrals at this time but will keep you in mind if anyone in the future needs a new loan.

Jessica E. - NY 
Philip was outstanding throughout the process...always kept me up to date, very personable as well. Made sure I understood all options available. 

 
 
Sonja K. - AL 
Pleasantly surprised at how transparent the process was. Phillip gave us sterling personalized service. He explained things to me in a way I could understand. It can feel scary to take your home - your highest asset and sanctuary- and make financial changes with it. Also, the processing manager, Michael was very knowledgeable and helpful to facilitate closing as quickly as possible. I had considered a refinance a year ago, but was so afraid of the process (with another lender) that I backed out of it. Phillip Ziegler was so kind and friendly, he put me at ease right away. 

 
 
Lisa M. - TN 
My husband I decided to refinance to receive some of the equity in our home to do some repairs and upgrades. From the moment Preston contacted me I felt at ease. He guided us step by step and explained everything to us. We were able to get a much lower interest rate and he actually kept us on schedule with the completion date of our current mortgage. He made sure to follow up to let me know where we and what we would expect next. After we had our home appraised and it was delayed by the Appraiser he made me feel at ease as I was worried something was wrong. When everything was done and the file became approved I believe he was as excited as we were. He really cares about his customers and I will tell everyone to ask for Preston when dealing with Reliance First Capital. He is such a sweetie and awesome to deal with!

Roman was very helpful. He kept me informed with up to the minute information, answered all of my questions-when he did not know the answer, he looked it up and called me back in a timely manner. This is the second time I have worked with him and I would do so again in a minute. 

 
 
Cynthia H. - TX 
This is the second time that I've come to Reliance First Capital. The first was when I was way over-my-head in debt. I couldn't find anyone that would take a chance on me. I was able to refinance my home, paid off over $40,000.00 in debt and able to buy items without using my credit card. Because of my debt-to-ratio was so high, my payment for my house was more expensive and the interest rate was over 8%. Reliance First Capital suggested that I come back after a year and refinance again to get both monthly mortgage and interest rate are lower. So, I did. My monthly payment is going to be $400 less and my interest rate is under 4%. I'm happy and glad that Reliance First Capital was there to help me.

Kenyatta and Magdalynn H. - TN 
My husband and I purchased a home through Reliance First Capital. Mr. Collins was extremely knowledgeable of the home buying process. I am one who asks a lot of questions and want to know all the details. Not only was Mr. Collins able to address all of my concerns and answer all of my questions, but he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable with the next steps. The professionalism Mr. Collins displayed while working with us, helped us to feel more confident about the huge purchase and commitment we were making. The quality my husband and I appreciated most about Mr. Collins, was his responsiveness to our needs. We were so impressed by his services, we recommended him to many of our friends and family. Through this recommendation my sister and brother-in-law used Mr. Collins as their agent and purchased a new house as well. When it was time to refinance, there was no question who we were going to choose to assist us and Mr. Collins did not disappoint us. If you are looking for a loan officer who is informative, trustworthy, kind-hearted and professional, I definitely recommend William Collins (Bill as we call him) to assist you in your time of need. 

 
 
Debbie W. - OH
