I could not have had a better experience. This was my first purchase and it was so smooth that I never felt uncomfortable at any point in the process. Josh kept me informed in every area and held out for the best VA rate. I knew at a certain point that they were not just doing business, but was looking out for my best interest. I was ready to close my VA loan in less than a few weeks. On every occasion Josh has kept his word to me. Nothing is more important to me. I will use them again and again. It was definitely a great experience. Thanks Josh! You are the man when it comes to VA loans.
