If anyone is in the housing/financial assistance market, Rob with Southern Trust Mortgages did an amazing job helping us secure our first home loan. They made the overall process very easy for us and checked in with us weekly. 10/10 recommend.
My wife and I recently closed on our first home which was newly constructed and we couldn’t have asked for a better loan officer. He was there every step of the way during construction and routinely was in touch with us to see if we had any questions. We also never had any problems getting in touch with him if we had any questions at all, he was always prompt in his responses. He made purchasing so much easier because he had our back during the entire process!
Rob and his team were fantastic through the entire process. We did a new mortgage for an investment property and refinanced our current mortgage ( with a great interest rete) at the same time. Rob stayed in touch throughout the entire process and there were no last minute surprises. I would highly recommend Rob and Southern Trust Mortgage.
