I honestly cannot thank Seth and Kate at Total Quality Lending enough! I originally found them through Google when I was looking for a loan for an investment property. I wasn't even sure I would qualify but Seth took the time to look into different options and find ways to get me approved. From the beginning he was very patient and always reassured me that we would figure things out. After going through the entire process and finally getting cleared to close the deal unfortunately fell through because the seller wasn't able to sell the property. I was so disappointed after everything we had gone through. But Seth and Kate assured me that they could help me with another property and that's exactly what they did! I ended up finding another property and we successfully closed! Now let me be honest I was probably not the easiest person to work with 😂. I called them multiple times a day and asked a million questions. I constantly needed updates and reassurance. I'm sure they were tired of seeing my number pop up lol. But not once did they make me feel like I was bothering them. They were always patient and willing to explain everything to me. In the past I've always worked with lenders who were recommended by people I knew personally so finding someone through Google was a little scary for me. I had a hard time trusting the process 100% until I actually made it closing. But Seth and Kate were so understanding and never made me feel bad for asking so many questions. What I appreciated the most is that they didn't just give up when the first deal fell through. They stuck with me and continued helping me until we finally made it to closing. That really meant a lot to me. Seth and Kate make such a great team! They really care about their clients and go above and beyond to help. I honestly don't think I could have asked for better people to work with. I seriously highly recommend them especially if you're looking for financing for an investment property.

I recently completed a sale and couldn’t have asked for a better lending experience. My lead, Hunter Turpen, was terrific to work with from start to finish. He was highly responsive, always true to his word, and genuinely a pleasure to interact with. Whenever I had a question, I knew I’d get a quick, clear answer. I’d also like to thank Katie Buckley, who supported the engagement. She was very thorough and a great communicator, and she helped keep everything on track. Together, Hunter and Katie made the process smooth and stress-free. I’d gladly work with Total Quality Lending again and recommend them to anyone who wants a team they can trust.
