We were able to close on our home in 30 days, no problems whatsoever. This lender was able to secure a great rate without points that wasnt available to us at several other lenders. Eliott was always there for us and even responded to us at odd hours of the day. I would absolutely recommend their services.
Matt was fantastic to work with in obtaining our home loan. He was very prompt in answering all of our communications. He answered all of our questions and explained what to look for when shopping for a lender. After choosing Matt and Pike Creek, he continued to answer all questions immediately. This made the loan approval process much easier. We had to pay an upfront fee which went to the appraisal. This worried us a little but our appraisal was done quickly and our loan was closed on the day we asked for- 30 days out. Thank you Matt!
He worked on extending my interest rate on 3 different occassions, which was very much appreciated. I would happily recommend Pine Creek Mortgage services to anyone.
We had a great experience working with Fran and Pike Creek on a mortgage for our new home. He was super responsive and efficient. The rate was the lowest quote we found without paying points. Our closing was super smooth and everything was completed in a timely manner. Great experience all around.
Robert was a 5 star mortgage lender! We shopped around for a bit and immediately knew that we wanted to work with Robert. This was our first home and he took the time to explain every detail to us via emails and phone calls. We had full faith in him and truly enjoyed the experience! Will definitely be working with him again for our next home!
Matt Weir was very responsive in my initial contact with him. I was well informed prior to the call, with many of the costs, and processes. Matt took my many questions and turned them into confident, professional, well-informed answers. He gained my respect by taking as much time needed to go line by line, if necessary, to be sure I understood the costs. He helped me compare, and show advantages, as well as industry norms to other lenders. After that, the process was smooth, and thorough all the way down to closing. Well Done Matt!
Robert Hikel contacted me after I entered my information and the whole process became as smooth as possible. The conversations were easy and natural and didn't come across as a conversation with a salesperson. I was able to call whenever I need to with a question or concern and Robert was able to put me on the rate. I would absolutely recommend him and already have.
Bought a home just as the interest rates started to skyrocket. Found First Stage via search web engine, they had the best rates. Jim Panepresso was great to work with, always on top of all open issues, proactive, educated me on all the questions I had, he was more than a service provider, he was a consultant.
