Thanks, thanks, and thanks again!
My wife and I just closed on our first home with Churchill. Our Loan Specialist was Chris Shrader. Chris absolutely made the experience of getting our mortgage smooth and straightforward. He helped us understand exactly what we were getting ourselves into and gave us honest numbers that grounded our expectations while helping us reach to where we needed to be to land our perfect first home. Chris fervently pursued our best interests and helped us know what to expect at each step of the process. He helped us think through big decisions without leading us down a chosen path, which really made the homebuying experience so much less stressful than we thought it was going to be. He personally worked with our realtor and personally advocated for us everywhere he could. He kept the numbers in front of us and helped us prepare for the worst case, but ensured that our final closing costs were within our reach. We were able to close while feeling comfortable about our finances. I didn't feel any sticker shock on closing day! Chris pursued making us Certified Home Buyers even as the home search happened quickly, and we were ready to be the first offer on a home that's better than we expected for our budget. I won't forget the hard work and the service that Chris provided my family and I would recommend Chris and Churchill to anybody - in fact, I wouldn't recommend anyone else! His experience has depth and breadth, and his careful hand and eye throughout the process, along with the personal touch and knowledge he added to every interaction, really brought peace of mind and security to the home-buying process. It was the most critical factor in one of the most critical financial transactions my family will ever make. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again! We look forward to working with Chris in the future as our mortgage proceeds.
