Our Customers’ Stories

“I have purchased two homes with Stephen. Each time, he made the daunting process so easy and convenient. I was able to get all my documents signed and sent over remotely. He had everything we needed completed ahead of schedule for closing. Stephen will be my first call when we decide to move again!”

Morgan C.

“Bart exceeded all my expectations when my wife and I purchased our home and moved to Tennessee. He is very knowledgeable and gave us loan options that best fit our financial situation. The communication was stellar, always prompted email responses and phone calls. We felt well taken care of and informed every step of the way. Our closing went smoothly, and we are so happy in our home. I would refer Bart to all my friends and not hesitate to call him again for any of our mortgage needs.”

David L.

“Working with Derrick and the team made our entire mortgage process worry-free and we couldn’t have asked for it to have gone any better! It can be one of the more stressful aspects of the home buying process, but the responsiveness and attention that we received made it be one thing that we never had to worry about. Derrick was super responsive to every question we had as we looked for our next home, and once we found it, the team made the rest of the process a breeze!”

Daniel C.

“As first-time homebuyers, we had no idea what we were doing. Thankfully, Stephen walked us through every step and helped us buy our first home. I would recommend Stephen to any first-time homebuyer.”

Reed B.

“Bart recently handled the refinance of our home. The process for submitting our documents and information was very user friendly. Bart and his team kept us informed personally as well. In a world full of technology, it was so nice to talk through things on the phone. He answered all of our questions and helped us pick the best loan product for the result we were looking for. He exceeded our expectations. I have recommended him to a few friends who had the same outstanding experience.”

Pam S.

“Derrick, Leigh, and the team are amazing! Great communication from start to finish throughout the home buying process. I would get check-in calls and emails before I even thought to ask if they needed anything else. Our rate was locked in at the exact right time, and underwriting could not have gone smoother with Leigh’s help. We highly recommend Derrick and the Lineage Bank team! A++ Service!”
