Client Testimonials

"Debra McElveny is the mortgage broker that helped us to obtain our wonderful new (to us) home. This young lady was just wonderful to us. We were renting a house in Gladstone and Debra made it a point to come out to us all the way from Vancouver to have us go over paperwork with her. Not just once, but on several occasions. She always had a smile on her face and a pleasant, informative domineer about her. She made sure that we understood everything and would answer all of our questions. If Debra did not have the answer at her fingertips she would call us ASAP with the answers. Debra is a very knowledgeable and competent person and an asset to your company. I have had several questions that pop up in my head and I call Debra and she not only has the answers, but I just love hearing her cheerful voice. That truly makes my day. Thank you so much Debra for making [our] dream come true. We love our home."

"As a real estate agent, I have the opportunity to work with many lenders but I always encourage my clients to talk with Ryan and so far every single client has chosen to stay with him. He's not only professional and highly ethical, but personable as well. The thing I respect the most is that he is always accessible and knowledgeable. Real estate is not a Monday through Friday 9 to 5 job. It's 9:00 at night and Sunday afternoons [job], and Ryan always answers the phone and makes himself available to make sure that our clients have everything that they need at all times. He makes each and every one of my clients feel as though they are the most important client he has ever had."

"I've worked with Ryan to obtain several loans, both for myself as well as my real estate clients. Ryan is good at what he does and is an excellent communicator throughout the process. He has a high degree of integrity and will always put the interests of his clients first."

"Ryan played a huge part in me being able to successfully purchase my first home. He was able to answer any questions that I had regarding the purchasing process and he did an amazing job finding the right loan that worked for me. We explored multiple loan options during the process and I'm confident that Ryan helped find the best one. I have recommended Ryan to friends and family and will continue to do so when asked about mortgage options in the future."

"Michael Wright is a true professional when it comes to how he conducts business. He is polite, gets the job done as promised, and keeps you informed every step of the way. He takes a lot of the mystery out of loan applications and gives you insight as to what avenues you can take. I highly recommend Michael to anyone that needs to refinance or finance their home. They won’t be disappointed."

"I was referred to Michael Wright by my realtor and I couldn’t have been luckier to have him on my team! He was courteous, professional, and made sure I was updated every step of the way. If you need a mortgage consultant, then Mike is your guy! You’ll be just as happy to work with him as I was!"

"Michael Wright, brother, and his team are awesome, fast, and efficient. They have come through for us twice, once when another lender failed on a guarantee and second on a refinance. Both times they did everything as promised. I highly recommend Michael Wright!"

"It was great working with Mike Wright to refinance my mortgage. They were quick about getting the ball rolling and then making sure that the closing was done as promised. They were patient in explaining all the associated fees and closing costs beforehand so that there were no surprises during closing. I would definitely recommend them based on my experience."

I am very happy to have found him and he will be my first choice for any and all of my mortgage needs. I have no hesitation in referring anyone to him for mortgage products."

"Miles Rusth – I wanted to officially thank you for all of the hard work you and your team put into our loan process this past month. I know it was not an easy one, but we are very happy with the home and and the level of service you provided! Thank you again!"

"Everyone knows how impossible the home loan market is to navigate these days, with the extremely tight requirements, the mountains of paperwork, and the glacial pace of the banks when it comes time to funding the loans. Miles Rusth and his team helped us through the red tape and delivered our financing in record time. This was our second loan with Miles and we told him we were doing some comparison shopping to make sure we were getting the best deal possible. Much to our surprise, Miles offered up some of his chief competitors and made sure we checked in with them before we signed up...Miles was impossible to beat...Miles is a pleasure to work with and a straight shooter. We highly recommend him."

"Debra, I just wanted to thank you again for being so amazing. You made the home buying process feel so easy and straight forward.

If I had any questions or concerns he addressed them quickly. He offered me great advice when there was something that I was unsure of and he was always available when I needed him to be. I would highly recommend him for your mortgage needs."

"Being in real estate high volume for 15 years, I have never been so confident as I am with Ryan Stoker at Summit Mortgage Corporation.

"Ryan Stoker is extremely professional and such a pleasure to work with.

I trust her completely, which is critical for something this important."

"Kim and her team were very efficient and thorough through our home purchase. She is readily available and makes sure you understand all your financing options. I would definitely use her services in the future."

"Owning a home is truly everyone's dream. So, where do you begin once you have made the decision to buy your home...and once you have made that investment who can help you with certainty to protect it? Summit Mortgage Corporation. I have known Miles Rusth for nearly 15 years. He is without a doubt one of the most educated and respected loan professionals in the industry! He takes the time needed to research the right mortgage for you by asking questions others fail to. Expectations are set from the beginning so there are no surprises. He is also one of the most generous individuals I have ever met. It is refreshing to know that the business professional you are working with gives back to the community and cares deeply about the people in it! I am proud to call Miles my friend and would highly recommend him to provide you with amazing service when the time is right for you. Thank you, Miles for all you have done for me and my family."

[Miles D. Rusth] "Thank you!!! I am happy that the day has finally come! Thanks for all of your help and patience with this loan! I will be referring you to anyone I know looking for a loan. Thank you!"

"I was an out-of-state buyer and worked with Lloyd exclusively through email and phone. He was GREAT. He was very responsive, often answering emails in the evenings and on weekends, and he was very patient with my long string of questions. He is a clear communicator and was a pleasure to work with!”

"Having Lloyd on our team took all the worries away and really gave us peace of mind that our best interest is his top priority. Lloyd and his team was very responsive to our inquiries...they gave us their undivided attention...we would highly recommend Mr. Lloyd White, Jr. to anyone that wants an experienced, knowledgeable, and client-focus loan officer. We will definitely be working with Lloyd again..."

"Lloyd helped me get my property refinanced. He was persistent and patient throughout the process – it took appraisals over a couple of years to make it possible. He and his team are top notch."

“A team of professionals willing to go the extra mile to satisfy their new and repeat customers.”

"It was my pleasure to work with Miles at Summit Mortgage Corporation. They handled my refinance professionally, quickly, and with no hassles whatsoever. I recommend them heartily to others."

"I have worked with Miles on numerous loans over the past 13 years. Most recently I had an unusual property that I was financing that became difficult in this current financial climate. Miles did a tremendous job overcoming obstacles and got this loan completed for me. It was a huge relief for me to get this done. Thank you, Miles."

"My family and I have used Kimberly several times and she has helped us secure two new homes and has continued to educate us on mortgage options over the years. I have recommended her to a lot of friends and family members, and they have had the same wonderful results. I would recommend her very highly to anyone needing a mortgage broker."

"Kim helped us obtain financing on our first home as well as refinance our house...She is very dependable, trustworthy, and worked very hard..."

"Kimberly Bean has helped me with every one of my home purchases and refinances for over 20 years now. I have referred friends, colleagues, students, service workers, and family members to her. Simply put – she is the best – and treats every client like family. Without hesitation, I recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for a mortgage specialist. I wish I could give her a 10-star rating - and two thumbs up!!! You are the best Kim..."

"Kim, we just wanted to say thank you. We love our new home and are very thankful for your help along the way! Thanks for making it a smooth and easy process for us first-timers. We will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a home."

"My husband and I have used Lloyd twice now...Lloyd will go above and beyond for you. He has so many different programs he works with..."

"Lloyd and his great team at Summit Mortgage Corporation kept us in constant communication with our mortgage loan process. When there was additional information needed from us, he and his team were quick, responsive and professional making it as easy as possible to get them exactly what underwriting needed to continue. The loan closed on time...I am very impressed by Lloyd and his staff and would definitely recommend him and come back for any future mortgage needs.”

“...Lloyd took care of everything, before we knew it we had moved into our beautiful home...it happened so fast we couldn't believe it, thanks to Lloyd. We would like to recommend Lloyd White, Jr. to everyone who wishes to have your own dream home. Lloyd would take care of you and help to make your dreams come true.”

“Lloyd did an excellent job! This is the second time I've worked with him. First time buying a house, and this time refinancing...He was very informative and made sure he met my needs. I would recommend him to anyone that is in the market.”

"Hi Deb, thank you. I was just thinking of you earlier today! I wanted to thank you again for all that you did for us throughout the process. I could not have asked for a better person to have on our team. You are wonderful! Thanks again for everything. Best wishes for you and your family."

[Debra McElveny] "You are so kind. Thank you! I haven't had a chance to thank you properly for the amazing assistance you provided to us during our home purchase. We truly sing your praise all the time and still pinch ourselves at how smooth the process was. We know that it was because of you...you had our backs and continued to reassure me in such a calm and reassuring manner. We love our home and knowing that everything we do in it is for us and not for anyone else. It feels so wonderful! You will always have a special place in our hearts for helping us accomplish our dream!"

[Debra McElveny] "Thanks so much for your extraordinary effort, especially for Juliana's deadline of today! Both you and Juliana worked so hard for us and we are so grateful to have found such an incredible property. We can hardly wait to get there which we have planned to be next Monday evening. We would both enjoy meeting you, too! Once again, thanks so much! We are both doing a happy dance in our empty living room and the dogs are happy, too."

"I highly recommend Deb from Summit Mortgage Corporation. She was our loan officer when we bought our house and we just love her!"

"Deb is literally the best person to work with ever!! She makes the entire process so easy!! I hate anything financial and she made it totally painless!! She is a total professional and knows what she is doing. You will not regret using her for your loan needs. Also, she is a wonderful person and community member. She supports local schools and activities and is a big sponsor of our local band! We all appreciate her so much, and I know you will be very happy with the choice to use her!!"

"Debra was amazing! When we first met to talk about our mortgage needs we didn't have a clue as to how or where to start. She was extremely patient and explained things to us and each step involved. When we finally found our dream house we were still needing to sell our old house...Thanks to her tenacity and brilliance in her industry we got the house and property we had dreamed of but never thought possible. THANKS, DEB!"

[Debra McElveny] "She was very, very helpful in every way. She was always on the ball. Anytime we called she got back to us in a timely manner. Would work with her anytime. Will refer people to her with no problem."

"Thank you, Kim. I have always heard such positive feedback from clients especially related to the ease of working with you and your responsiveness. It was great to witness it first hand."

"Robert was excellent to work with and kept me well informed every step of the way! He also took the time to explain all of the different options available to me for my refinance. I highly recommend Summit Mortgage Corporation!"

"It has been an awesome experience working with Robert Williams...Robert gave us hope and got us a loan which felt miraculous. He is an excellent communicator with a ton of patience."

"I have worked with Chris on three different home purchases/refinances over the last five years. Each time he did a great job making me feel like I was a valued client and not just another transaction. I would recommend him for anyone looking to refinance or buy a new home."

"I highly recommend Chris as a mortgage broker. He provided us exceptional service for our home purchase and refinance. He was very responsive to our questions and illustrated several options to help us choose the right strategy for us. He is dependable and went out of his way..."

"Chris was a very dependable mortgage banker and went out of his way to ensure we were able to buy the house we wanted. A great guy and very flexible in responding to our needs. Would definitely recommend!"

"I have hired Chris multiple times to refinance my personal residence. He has also brokered the refinancing of several family members and countless clients. I never hesitate to refer Chris because I know that he will make the painful process of refinancing or buying a house as painless as it can be in today's world..."

"[Dewey Haney] We paid off debt [and] significantly buffered our savings...[We] got eight years closer to retirement. Thank you! We've never been in this position before. I feel like we can breathe, like long term breathe."

"We would like to give a hardy pat on the back to Kevin Schmidt. Kevin has helped us with our mortgage lending needs for more than 10 years. He is extremely efficient, reliable, and we trust him to provide us with the best mortgage opportunities that meet our needs. Over the years he has helped us with our personal and rental properties, as well as family and friends lending needs. Our current transaction with Kevin has rendered a personal comment from our builder, stating that: Kevin Schmidt, by far, has been the best loan/financial officer...who stays on top of things, [that] he has worked with over this past year. We highly recommend Kevin Schmidt to anyone needing mortgage lending services."

[Corey Hoskins] "As someone who is new to the loan process, it was very nice to work with someone who would explain things in a straightforward way."

"Thanks, Miles! It really was a pleasure working with you and your efficient team! I was surprised how quickly everything went after the appraisal and how quickly we got our money. You're the best, Miles!"

"It was a sincere pleasure working with Ryan and Nayeli. I always felt like I was in good hands with them. This was my first mortgage and they were very patient and detailed. I would absolutely recommend them again!"

"Ryan Young is awesome. He knows his stuff in and out, plus, he is very professional. Ryan cares a lot about his customers, more so than commissions or any product line or loan type. With Ryan, I love the fact that I am always number one."

"Ryan Young continues to provide excellent service."

"Brian Haveman was a fantastic person to work with! As first-time home buyers this process was new to us...Brian was exceedingly helpful, knowledgable, and always patient with my questions. I would recommend him 100%."

"Due to the overwhelming complexity of our finances and credit history, I am totally grateful for the upstanding and perseverance of Brian and his team to complete our home loan, a huge thank you!"

"Very accessible and always had the information we needed to help us maximize our benefits with the loan. Kevin was on top of every detail and got our loan processed on schedule with no problems along the way. Definitely a five-star experience!"

"Your company is excellent to work with and Kim and Jill were amazing. I will refer your company to friends and family."

"Lloyd was great to work with! I was very impressed with the timeliness of communication. I always got a response to my questions within 24-48 hours. I was able to answer most things over e-mail and docu-sign everything online. Amazing mortgage company to work with! Highly recommend!"

[Lloyd White, Jr.] "I was very happy with the professionalism and speed at which my loan was dealt. Summit Mortgage Corporation took over for another company and pushed the loan through.

"Kevin did a great job helping us understand what our options were and picking what was best for us. We revisited the details of the loan several times as a result of our negotiations with the seller and he made sure each change was to our benefit and would work with our loan. We'll be recommending him to all our friends and family looking for a lender!"

"Kevin is a very trustworthy and professional person. He's always very responsive and very ethical which is why we continue to use him. Thanks, Kevin!"

"Mike Matthews and Kim Pepper went above and beyond our expectations to help get our family into a home. Mike and Kim are excellent communicators and worked diligently to make our loan process go as smoothly as possible. I really felt like Mike and Kim were our personal loan advocates. We will highly recommend Summit Mortgage Corporation to all of our friends and family!"

"Corey was great to work with! I made my offer on a Saturday and he was quick to get all paperwork prepared; this was a multi-offer situation, so time was of the essence. Great experience, I have already recommended Corey to a friend!"

"Tim and Andrew are top-notch. I will refer them to anybody looking to purchase a home or refinance. The best I have ever worked with."

"Working with Chris Zenner has been amazing! I remember my parents buying a house when I was a kid, and it seemed super stressful. I was always worried about the day my wife and I bought a house, and the stress it would bring. However, Chris took all of the stress out of buying a house. He was super honest about what we could afford and to expect at every step of the process...and that made the difference for us. Now we are in an awesome house, with a payment that doesn't feel overwhelming. I couldn't recommend Chris more."

"Chris Zenner is an honest, trustworthy, and very hard working partner in the home buying process. I will recommend him, wherever he is."

"Chris Zenner was a genius in all aspects of my loan application. He managed my unique situation in a way everyone I spoke to during the process affirmed he was doing a good job. A lot of credit for making the deal go smooth. Thanks for all the extra effort."

[Chris Zenner] "Great job, great service. Thank you."

"...He communicated with us almost daily to help us get everything in place. Additionally, he had both our personal and the seller's real estate agents bugging him at every point for updates and verification that we would close on time. These two real estate agents are now fans of Chris Zenner and Summit [Mortgage Corporation] and have added him to their list of recommended mortgage brokers. Although it was face paced, Chris was always available to answer questions and provide us with options, along with valued guidance to help us evaluate all options. This is now the third loan transaction Chris has helped our family with, and I continue to recommend him to anyone needing a well versed and very caring mortgage broker. They won't be disappointed. Thanks Chris!"

"Michael has done three mortgages and refinances for us and every time they've been clear, and done with professional speed and accuracy. He's given me good feedback about when not to do a refinance on one occasion – and that is the sign of someone you can trust. Turning down money on a loan that would not be right for the client! I can think of no reason why any residential property buyer wouldn't want to work with Michael and his team."

"Hi Debbie, Thanks so much for all the support and guidance during the home purchase process. I am so honored that I landed the opportunity to work with someone so knowledgable, honest, and professional such as you. You've been a great mentor and the most supportive throughout the entire process keeping things in check, coaching, and nudging me to stay strong along the way. Big thanks to you and Zack! Once I have the chance to get back up there, I really would like to stop by your office and meet you both! It was definitely a pleasure working with you!"

"Summit [Mortgage Corporation] is fast and helpful in obtaining a mortgage. I had been working with a national mortgage broker in the past and with the purchase of our new home I went with Summit [Mortgage Corporation] on a friend's recommendation. What a difference."

"Michael did a fantastic job helping us find a perfect mortgage for our very first home! As first-time home buyers, we were very naive and unfamiliar with many of the terms commonly used by a broker. Michael was patient and thorough in explaining our options…He truly will go above and beyond for clients. I highly recommend him!"

"Michael and his team were extremely helpful during the loan process on our home purchase. They were always available and quick to respond to questions. We will recommend them to family and friends. Thanks, Michael!"

"Michael Wright and his crew at Summit Mortgage [Corporation] are top-notch! From the very the first phone call, to the loan signing, was very pleasant. When talking to Michael in the beginning about refinancing our home. He provided great information and I never felt pressure from Michael to make a decision. When I told him I wanted to wait a couple months, he said 'Okay, let me know when you are ready.' When we were ready he jumped into action. It was by far the smoothest from start to finish. I have never met Michael face-to-face. He was planning to come to our closing, but something came up. Everything was done over the internet and his staff did a great job moving the process along and answering questions along the way. I have already referred two of my friends to Summit Mortgage [Corporation]. Thank you Michael and team!"

"Highly recommend Michael Wright. Michael has done a mortgage and refinance for us, every time we've enjoyed the highest level of speed, accuracy, and availability in service from him and his team."

"I have used Michael on several occasions. He is prompt, courteous and always seems to be one step ahead of the process. I have highly recommended Michael and Summit Mortgage [Corporation] to friends and coworkers. Do not hesitate to use Michael or Summit Mortgage [Corporation]."

"Lea recently helped my boyfriend and I get a loan to buy our home. Justin and I bombarded her with questions, as well as asked for help on processes we needed help with. She was professional and kind the entire time. She made everything seem easy. Once our home was purchased, I was talking to my realtor who has been in the business for over 25 years, and she said that she almost NEVER has the process run this smoothly! She said it was amazing. She works with many mortgage companies and now has a new respect for Summit Mortgage [Corporation]. I guarantee I will refer every person I know to Lea because I think she did her job perfectly. Thank you so much Lea! I appreciate everything that you have done for me and my boyfriend."

[Lea Snyder-Rodgers] "I don't know what we would have done without you and Kim. We will recommend you to anyone and everyone! Thank you again for everything, Frank and I both truly appreciate all your hard work."

"Hi Lea, thank you so much for all your help and council during this process. As always you make it smooth and easy to do something that is complicated to the lay person. Thank you!"

[Lea Snyder-Rodgers] "Many, many thanks go to you. You are all absolutely stellar, and I would recommend you to anyone I know or meet. Thanks again so very much!"

"I am self-employed and had some challenges getting through underwriting at larger financial institutions. After being denied twice from big banks..., Michael and his team were not only able to secure funding with a solid financial plan, they were able to do it on a very fast timeline...I had a great experience with Michael Wright and Summit Mortgage [Corporation] and recommend them."

"Kimberly was fantastic to work with! She is thoughtful, incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient. She made purchasing my first home a seamless experience and I am forever grateful!"

Thank you, Michael, and Summit for enabling my purchase!"

"I was drawn to Summit Mortgage [Corporation] because of my past experience with my mortgage consultant, Brian. I knew he was sharp and reputable. I have had other mortgage purchases in the last 25 years that were rough to say the least. Brian, along with Summit Mortgage, was a breeze compared to those...it's nice to have some things in your life go seamless[ly]. Thanks to all of you there."

"I have been in the mortgage field in one aspect or another for over 20 years, I would consider myself to be a difficult client because, I know it all. Deb's knowledge, professionalism, and customer service far and away exceeded my expectations. Deb and Zack are an awesome team!! Thank you so much."

"Kevin is very knowledgable about loans. He helped get through complicated financing twice. Each time he was very responsive, [and] educated me each time I had questions...He welcomed the idea of financing a house in California and closing in a much shorter time frame than the standard. I highly recommend Summit Mortgage Corporation to anyone looking to get a loan."

"Kevin is a true professional and I would recommend him very highly."

"Our experience with both Kevin and with the firm was first-rate. Would definitely recommend this service to our friends and family."

"Robert Williams is awesome! As first-time home buyers, we did not know what to expect and after the transaction completed. We did not feel railroaded, like other competitors have shown us in the past. He made sure to completely explain everything so we could follow...and I'm happy to have had Robert leading the way!!!!"

"It was a pleasure working with Ryan at Summit Mortgage [Corporation]. His knowledge and expertise were evident to me through the conversations we had. Ryan and his team were very prompt in answering all of my questions and making sure everything went as smooth as possible.

We were treated as if we were their only customers! Every step of the loan process was explained to us in great detail. We are simply amazed that there are still mortgage companies that put the customer's needs first. Other mortgage companies, that I personally have used in the past, should take lessons from Miles and his staff. We highly recommend Summit Mortgage!"

"We could not have done this loan in the time it needed to be done without Miles and his team! You guys went above and beyond and made our first home buying experience a great one! Thank you!"

[Debra McElveny] "Best possible experience a person could have. Will recommend and use only the Summit [Mortgage Corporation] team for life."

"I am a Realtor in the Palm Springs area of California. My investor client has used Kevin before on another property but I had not, so I was a little concerned since he was an out of the area lender.

I highly recommend Kevin and was very happy with the process."

This was the best financing experience we’ve had thanks to Kevin."

I highly recommend them if you are new to the loan process."

Dewey and Andrew were awesome!

My home buying adventure was not quite textbook… there were many curve balls throughout the process. But through it all, there was one constant… and that was Dewey and his team at Summit Mortgage [Corporation]! During my 5 year search they were always on hand to provide support, from numerous requests for estimated monthly payments on homes… to accommodating my need to be overly educated on each piece of paper I was reviewing. When I finally landed on my home, 1st home at that, they were right there every step of the way to assure the final closing went as smooth as possible! Not only are Dewey and team a quality team of experts, they’ve become friends as well! Thank you for the fabulous service over the years! I couldn’t imagine going through this process with any other team!

Miles, it’s been such a pleasure working with you and your staff. Thanks for making this such a simple and pain-free process. We also want to thank you for the nice gift box. Very generous of you. We will definitely use you in any future endeavors we may have as well as referring you to family and friends.

Buying a home is always a stressful and time-consuming event, but John made the process incredibly smooth. We were living overseas during the closing and coordinating with the realtor, title company, and loan officer, which was challenging. John stepped up and ensured that everyone was on the same page and let us know what each different stakeholder would need. He responded quickly and thoroughly to all questions and gave us clear instructions and several back-up plans in case we came across any roadblocks. We truly do not think we would have successfully navigated the process without John’s expertise and professionalism. It was great to have him in our corner and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

John was great to work with on both of our initial mortgage and a later refinance. He was always available, honest, and helpful when we had questions. Our non-standard mortgage was complex, but John made it happen and helped us get our dream house.

As first time home buyers, stress is what came to mind when we first started looking. We had no idea where to begin or what the process would be like. Luckily, our Realtors recommended John Banholzer with Summit Mortgage [Corporation] to help us through the process and we are so glad they did! John was there every step of the way to help us. He was informative, knowledgeable and answered all of our questions from start to finish. We felt comfortable and more educated throughout the process. Even after closing on our first home, we know that we can reach out to John for advice or questions and he would be more than happy to help us. We truly feel that we gained a trusting friendship and couldn’t thank John and Summit Mortgage [Corporation] enough for what they did for us. We would highly recommend John and his services to anyone.

Kim was amazing to work with, very professional, knowledgeable, and could be reached 24/7 it felt like.

What a great experience from start to finish! Kim and her team are outstanding.

Duke and his team are so efficient, well trained, good at communicating, and easy to work with. Best mortgage experience by far! I will be recommending them to anyone looking into a mortgage or refinance.

Duke was very helpful, I couldn't have asked for a better person to do business with. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was very helpful in helping me purchase my first home.

Duke has exceeded my expectations and made this loan transaction painless. He has made himself and Summit [Mortgage Corporation] my go-to for any and all mortgage transactions I make in the future.

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Dewey, at Summit Mortgage [Corporation]. My entire family (literally) has worked with Dewey over the years, and he has always taken great care of us! He does a great job at explaining exactly what your mortgage loan entails and is easy to get a hold of when you have questions. Throughout our time working with with Dewey we asked him to run numbers for us on several different properties. He always got back to us quickly and with detailed information about each property. I highly recommend Dewey at Summit Mortgage [Corporation].

Dewey and his team did a great job as usual; this is the third or fourth refinance I have gotten with Summit [Mortgage Corporation] over the last 20 years.

Michael Wright and his team were awesome. Very knowledgeable. Helped us figure out what kind of loan would work best and how best to get the deal done.

Thank you Michael and your team for doing a phenomenal job! Many, many referrals coming your way!

Mike Matthews has always had my best interest at heart.

Mike Matthews is a great person to deal with. I highly recommend him.

[Kimberly Bean] Great communication. Thanks for taking the time to learn our situation and offer advice on the best way to make it happen.

Kevin is efficient, fast, personable, ethical, and is everything a professional should be. He was very quick to respond to every one of my (many) questions. He kept me up to date, up to the moment, of everything that was happening in my refinance, and I got it in record time. I highly recommend him to anyone. I have used his services before and I would use his services again, over anyone else. He is that good.

"Kevin Schmidt was -- as always -- excellent! He is knowledgeable, proactive, professional, and friendly. It's an honor to both have him assist me as well as being a resource for me to refer my clients to. Keep up the good work!"

Miles, and Summit [Mortgage Corporation] Team are the best at timing and fast good communications all the way through the process. Thanks Miles R and Tim M!

"I can't give enough positive praise and review for Robert Williams and his team at Summit Mortgage Corporation. This is the third time we have utilized his knowledge and expertise to find the best rate for our mortgages. He is patient with our many questions, he clearly explains and communicates each step of the process, and was always prompt in his replies. If you are looking for a competent and professional expert, look no further!"
