Customer Oriented Lender
“Mike was responsive throughout my home buying process over the period of several months, all days of the week. No matter the questions I asked, Mike was willing to take the time to patiently explain everything. Over the course of multiple home offers, Mike was quick to run numbers with all variables I asked for. Once an offer was accepted, Mike and his team worked to close the home as quickly as possible, resulting in beating the estimated 30 day close in around 22 days. Would highly recommend Mike and will work with him again on my next home purchase. ”

Mike Yarbrough is an absolute professional and the best lender you're gonna find!
“Can't say enough good things about Mike. From the moment we first reached out to him about a loan he was extremely responsive and on top of everything. Even on the day we closed on our house, the title agent was very complimentary of Mike and telling us how great/easy he was to work with. We truly couldn't have closed on our dream house w/ out Mike helping us every step of the way. He goes above and beyond expectations! We would also highly recommend any military or veterans go with Mike for a home loan. He is extremely knowledgeable on the VA loan process which he successfully locked in for us.”
