“I appreciate the way Matthew took care of us in helping us obtain a loan for our new house. Matthew was extremely helpful in clearly communicating everything we needed to do in order to obtain our loan and get it done in a timely manner so we had no surprises when we went for our closing. All of his hard work had to be done long distance since we were coming from another state. He even took time after hours to communicate with us and was very prompt in returning our phone calls and emails. I would highly recommend using Matthew if you ever need a loan!” – Harold

“I found Matt at First Independence to be warm, knowledgeable, and supportive. I appreciated that whenever I needed to contact him he was available. I found the loan process at First Independence to be concise and streamlined. Matt worked to get me a good rate on my mortgage and kept me abreast of updates as my loan worked itself through underwriting. He also worked to ensure potential issues were resolved quickly. I’d applied with another lender but quickly recognized they cared nothing about my business – Matt made me feel appreciated as a customer of First Independence and for that and the reasons above I would highly recommend him and First Independence to anyone looking to secure a mortgage.” – Jamie

“I wanted to take a quick moment to thank you for all of your efforts and support during the home purchase process. Securing a mortgage can be a daunting and stressful task, but you took the time to walk me through each step, to explain every item, and to answer each question. You promised that you would be a part of the entire process and that you would not hand me off to someone else. You fulfilled your promise, and I thank you for that. My wife and I are excited to move into our new house, and we wanted to thank you for your help in making that happen.” – Marc

“Working with Matt and his team was awesome. The procedures of doing a VA refinance was quick and nearly hassle free. Even when we had a speed bump in the process Matt and his team kept in touch with me and notified me what was wrong and what they were doing to fix it. I would recommend anyone to work with Matt and his team, if they want to have a great experience with a quick turnaround when buying a home or refinancing their existing home.” – Jason
