I just closed my first home loan with Marty and his staff over at Trident home loans, and it truly was a great experience. Especially as a first-time home-buyer he was great and answered all my questions. Over the course of the next year while I was searching for a home, he always seemed to be available. Eventually when I picked a home, I started working with Kristina (one of their loan specialists), and she was super great to work with as well.
What was crazy was my realtor told me I should compare with his “go-to” lenders, but first he asked what rate I was going to get with Trident…when I told him 3.75, he laughed and said, well I find that hard to believe but if you can get that you better lock it in right now! Sure enough he checked with his lenders and they couldn’t come anywhere near that number.
Icing on the cake was that they were super on top of underwriting and getting all the required documents, so at no point was I ever worried about hitting my closing date. Basically all the things my realtor was worried about (due to his past experiences with VA loans) were completely taken care of and now he says he will be sending any VA loans he gets over to them.
Long story short, I was really pleased with the experience and am recommending all my military and airline friends to use them!
