It was great

Charles, Des Moines, IA

As first time home buyers relocating over 1,000 miles away, who would have thought the home buying process would be the easiest part of such a big move? Derek made the entire process seamless. I had reached out to him as an IFA recommended lender/president's club member. We wanted the best and we got it! From our very first communication, he was thorough, answered our questions, and kept the process moving along. I set a high bar of finding a house in a week, closing in a month, while also relocating our family, in the midst of my husband's new relocation position. Derek rose to the challenge and got it done. I would recommend his services to first time and experienced buyers alike. Thank you for helping our family buy our first home! We look forward to working with you again in the future should we ever need other services.
