Very Reliable

—sheraz from Ballwin, MO
Excellent Customer Service
“I worked with Jackie a couple years ago on my mortgage. I decided recently to do a home equity loan for a project and reached out to her immediately just based on how great she was to work with the first time. Once again she was excellent and helped me through the whole process. Her communication is great and I wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the future.”
—William from Athens, GA
Makes complicated…easy!
“Jackie has helped us twice with our VA mortgages and made the complicated process of home buying easy. Home buying can be a dreadful task…we never stressed! Jackie & team kept us informed, made documents easy to review/sign, locked us in at great rates and had closings scheduled in minimal time Thank you!!”
—TimFink5 from Rockledge, FL
Professional and customer service oriented.
“Jackie is the definition of a lending machine. She is professional, knowledgeable, creative, and persistent. During the process she noticed the rate decrease one day prior to a FED announcement and swooped in to get me that rate where as other lenders would have kept me at the higher one. I've used her for multiple home purchases and would never use anyone else again.”
—Mike F. from Bulverde, TX
Fantastic
“It was a pleasure working with Jackie. During our mortgage process we dealt with 3 other banks to see who could offer us the best rate. Jackie was by far the most responsive and professional and offered the best rate. I highly recommend her.”
—Eileen from Dumont, NJ
The best lender!!
“Jackie Runk is one of the best lenders/officers I have worked with. Very professional, punctual and informative. I’ve worked with many lenders before and by far Jackie has been the best. I would definitely recommend to friends and family. She is very versed in VA loans and you can tell she has experience and very good customer service. No unnecessary back and forth and to the point, exactly the way I like to work. Thank you for making this already stressful home buying process so much easier! 10/10. Absolutely would work with her again. ”

Amazing and communicative!
“Jackie was awesome! We had a previous lender who left the company and she took over, but it was so seamless! She was able to answer any and all questions we had, and helped us make some important decisions. Would highly recommend her as she was extremely helpful and was available anytime we had questions! The whole process had 0 hiccups and she was on top of getting everything together and sent over”
—Michael from Macomb, MI
Great lender!
“Jackie was extremely helpful through my 1st home buying experience and going through the VA Loan process. She is extremely knowledgeable, passionate, diligent, professional, and extremely personable and friendly. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a great lender! I will definitely use her again!”
—Seth Thornton from Fort Worth, TX
She is the best!
“Jackie was so helpful. This was for our first house, and she was very positive, patient and resourceful. She was great at responding quickly via phone and email. We were so glad that she was a part of our home buying experience. ”
—user7569771 from Denver, CO
Simply fantastic!
“Just finished financing my 3rd home purchase with Jackie not counting the two times other relatives have used her. She runs down every detail of the approval process and gets quotes quickly that are at below market interest rates. There is no one better!”
—K Kalb from Tampa, FL
