Our loan officer was thorough and was very clear and made sure we understood what was needed and expected from us during this process. There wasn’t a question nor concern that went unanswered; therefore there were no surprises.

My loan officer was excellent...Amari Smith is the best loan officer you can ever ask for. Amari explained the whole process, she told me what I needed to do to improve my score and she guided me every step of the way and answered any questions I had. Amari went above and beyond and she didn't treat me as a client but as a friend. Amari is amazing and the best. Thanks Amari you're a Rockstar

Overall Review:

What can I say, after working on my credit for years and being refused time and time again, I didn't expect anything different with MHS Lending. After taking the pre-qualification screener we were connected by Amari Smith, and what can I say but she was absolutely amazing. She broke everything down and explained every single step in the process. She explained what was expected of us as buyers and what to do to make the process seamless. Anytime we had a question she had an answer. Using the network of realtors they have made looking for a realtor easy. All I can say is if your in need of a home as a military member or even veteran MHS Lending is the place to go. Highly recommend!!!!

Team Review:

Amari Smith and her team worked with us and all I can say is wow. They made sure everything was done in a timely manner.

I honestly Dont know when Amari sleeps. Her tireless efforts, unyielding positivity and seemingly endless availability was only topped by her subject matter expertise. This process for the vast majority will be the most daunting tasks one will undertake. I can in full faith say that not only has she taken exceptional care of me and my family through this process but she will absolutely do it for any of her future clients. Thank you for everything my friend, My family and I are truly grateful.

Amari Smith was always available to answer our questions and guide us through the process. As this only the second time we have bought a house we really didn’t know the process. Amari was excellent in answering our questions, providing guidance, and making sure we fully understood each action and step of the process

Team Review:

Again, Amari was outstanding in guiding us through what is a complex process. She ensured we did all we should to ensure the process flowed smoothly. She was always reaching out to us to ensure we knew what step was happening and the next steps. Always providing information without overloading us.

Looking for a home was very stressful but working with Amari made things easier. She worked very promptly and got my loan approved. She was very professional and stayed in communication with me throughout the whole process. She even gave me some great tips and questions to ask. This was my first time buying a house and if I’m ever in the market again I will definitely be using her. Thank you Amari !!

Overall Review:

For the longest time, I have been told by other lenders my credit was not good enough to qualify for a loan. I've made mistakes with credit. Being young and in the Army, especially during a war time environment, you don't think about tomorrow you live for today. Amari Smith and her team made my dreams come true. They worked hard when others wouldn't, and I credit them for the amazing house I have today. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank her and the entire team for making my dreams a reality. Hands down the best customer service and experience I have had from any lender. They really treat their veterans and families with special care. If you have the same issues I did, please, please contact them. You will not regret it.

Team Review:

God Sent; A person whom has such extreme abilities, that they are said to be sent from God. This person is freakin' amazing at what they do, and out do anyone who think they can do it better....This doesn't even comes close to describing Amari abilities as a Lender. She was such a HUGE part of making this process possible. Amari goes above and beyond with her customer service as well as her follow-up. What I appreciated most about Amari was how quickly she responded to my communications. When I called/text she picked up or returned my call within the hour. It was not uncommon to get a call/text response within minutes. The best part of all is she was always available 24/7, since my best questions and ideas happened at night and the weekends (the most inconvenient times) I am thankful to have someone of that type of caliber assist and make my experience that much better. Respectively, Omar Maldonado
