My experience with Rick Litton was outstanding. He was easy to reach, very responsive to questions and genuinely helpful and enjoyable to work with. I had a relatively short timeframe between going under contract and our closing, but Rick and Nic, our processor, made everything so easy. Rick also was really helpful in running scenarios to get us an outstanding interest rate.

Even throughout the search phase FCM (Rick) was very helpful and quick to get us the right approval at the best rate possible. Not only that, he broke the advantages and disadvantages to each.

Excellent communication and very smooth process.

If I could give Rick 100 stars, I would. From the very moment we started working with Rick to our closing he was incredibly helpful and available to answer all our questions. There is so much that goes into an offer when buying a home that we didn't realize but having the support and help from a great team, that included Rick, made all the difference. Especially when this is your first time buying! We don't have any friends or family who are in need of a lender at the moment but once they start looking to buy a home we will for sure give them Rick's name!
