Frank made the process very simple for my wife and I. He kept us informed all the way through and worked on our schedule to meet our needs. His knowledge and guidance in using my VA loan benefit to purchase our home helped us get the most out of our home buying experience. The VA home loan process was very user friendly. His team did all the eligibility verification with the VA. I only had to provide a DD214 and minimal information. Additionally, Frank ensured we were getting the right, important questions answered and resolved from the seller. He advised us of the special protections we were entitled to with using our VA loan. When it came time to sign and close, Frank was very organized and thorough in making sure we knew everything we agreed upon. He took the time to answer any questions we had and we never felt rushed. I would recommend Frank to any potential borrowers and would especially recommend him to any fellow veterans looking to use their VA benefit for a home purchase.
