20/10!! Was very informative and understanding that home buying is a big step and did everything he could to keep my level headed through the process. Was available all hours of the day whenever I needed him which was above and beyond anything I expected.
Did a good job letting us know about the lower interest rate opportunity, and walking us through the refinance - thanks guys!
Scott was impressively available, at all hours, even when he had personal events going on. Scott was able to preemptively communicate times where he would be less available, but always left a door open if I felt there was an emergency. During past loans, I only spoke with the loan officer long enough to get sold a loan, then nothing. Scott managed to remain my main point of contact from start to finish.
Scott was Fantastic. He was kinda, courteous and really broke down how the home buying process works to us, since we were first time home buyers. I had nothing but an amazing expierence and Scott kept my wife and I in the loop on every detail. 10/10 would recommend
