Very patient
"He was available to answer my questions and take the time to ensure that I fully understood everything. Very patient with all my repetitive questions." - Christa Gaines
Fast, thorough
"I’ve done multiple transactions with Phil, including refinances and new purchase. I have recommended him to friends and he will be the first call when it comes time to purchase or refinance again. He is fast, thorough, communicative, hard working, and incredibly knowledgeable." - Griffin Kay
Worked quickly
"We were struggling with another mortgage lender who delayed and delayed our closing. We switched to Phil and he worked quickly and was able to help us close in record time. The issues the previous lender saw, seemed only to be a way to increase his fees-not so with Phil. I would highly recommend Phil." - Jody M.
