About Rhett Bouvia
Advice for New Home Buyers
Get pre-approved not just pre-qualified before you look at homes!
One of the best!
“Rhett has helped us finance two separate homes now, and he has been spectacular each time. He is knowledgeable, proactive and extremely organized, making the entire purchasing process very easy and smooth. He is also incredibly transparent, and takes the time to explain the benefits and drawbacks of all options. During a time when so many different numbers and options are tossed around, these qualities that Rhett has are exceedingly valuable.”
—Caroline E. from Longmeadow, MA
Rhett's Excellent
“I looked for a house for almost a year before I finally was able to close. Every time I sent Rhett a house I was looking at, asked a question about cost, or was uncertain about the process, he was there every step of the way with enthusiasm, patience, and professionality. I fully recommend him for all your home loan needs. ”
—leroysteiger from Hillsdale, MI
Absolutely awesome!
“My experience working with Rhett was perfect in every way! Super fast, easy and seamless. Any time I had a question, Rhett responded instantly. I will definitely be working with him again on my next loan!”
—David Chisholm from Knoxville, TN
Rhett is the ONLY lender I recommend to my clients!
“Rhett is AMAZING!!! I am a Realtor and once I had the pleasure of working with him on our first transaction together, I immediately began referring him to ALL of my clients who need a lender. He is more than reliable, he gets it done without any concern on my part...and early! He truly cares about the individuals, will educate them on the loan process, and help them find a loan program that fits their needs. He's savvy enough to find creative solutions, but always makes sure it's in the client's best interest. He will counsel buyers about what they can afford and what they will need to qualify for a loan first thing, so we don't get into a transaction and have issues later down the road. If Rhett says you're good to go, you ARE! He's proactive, highly communicative, and his rates are competitive and usually the best by far, even when clients choose to shop around. I'm so grateful to have him as a teammate in this business! I trust him completely; so much so that I even used him for my personal loan needs! I can't recommend Rhett enough - you really can't do better in my opinion! ”
—Kindal McKinney from Las Vegas, NV
Absolutely one of the best!
“Loved working with Rhett! He was friendly and so easy to talk to. He was ALWAYS available - literally worked with us and our realtor in the evenings (3 hour time difference!) and on weekends. Just an all-around nice guy and knowledgeable and professional Loan Officer. Highly recommend!”
—lockharts32 from Port Orchard, WA
So Happy We Did it Twice!
“My husband and I purchased our first home in 2021 with Rhett, so when we found ourselves in the market again we were excited to work with him again! I’ll never work with another lender, to be honest. He’s efficient, knowledgeable, quick to respond, and incredibly personable. So grateful we have an amazing lender for these huge life moves!”
—Madeline Buchanan from Saratoga Springs, UT
Awesome job experience
“Rhett was very professional and helpful. Everything went as expected and on time. One of the easiest loan processes we have ever done. Would definitely do it again with him and would recommend using him! He cares more about his clients than just selling a loan to someone. ”
—Smiths from Haskell, OK
Fatastic Lender
“Rhett did a fantastic job with our loan. We used him for our initial loan and a refinance and he answered every question we ever had throughout both processes. He was easy to reach and reliable. I really appreciated having someone to ask questions that I felt was on my team in the process.”
—Kate wetterhall from Burke, VA
Great experience
“Rhett was referred to me by a friend and was extremely informative and made the process super easy. This was our first time purchasing a house and he was there to explain and answer all of our questions! Would definitely use him again and refer him to anyone!”
—Clarissa T. from San Antonio, TX
Rhett was Literally a life savor
“When I couldn't get anywhere with another lender in getting my home closed on time Rhett stepped in and got it done! He kept in constant touch, clearly communicated each step of the process and worked together with my realtor on getting the loan secured. I am so grateful for his help and professionalism. ”
