GMFS–Ashley especially–have been easy to do business with. From the very beginning of the mortgage process to the present, she has been there to answer questions and support our mortgage.

Ashley was terrific. Wet friendly, thorough and detail oriented. Even though the process sucks Ashley went over and above to help at every step. If it weren’t for Ashley we’d be renting right now but instead we are living in our own home. Cannot thank her enough!

From the first phone call I made Stinson supplied just the information I requested. And then I appreciate it, as well as I’m sure my clients did, that he came to the closing and was very professional and friendly. I enjoyed him very much as I’m sure my client did also.
