"Shannon was amazing throughout the entire home buying process from day 1. She was extremely responsive, helpful, and so patient with me as a first-time home buyer. If I had any questions or even concerns at any point, she would walk me through all options. I also really appreciated the portal used to track the status of my loan and for securely sharing documents. Kudos to the team that created that."

“Liz Taylor worked with me to get my documents in and explained to me how to do things. If I called her with questions, she would get back with me right away regardless of if it was night or day. She worked to put me in my best financial position, and she listened to me and supported me in going through the entire process.”

“Brian was such a pleasure to work with all around. He is so personable and gave clear instructions and explanations for everything. Working to obtain a mortgage and go through the closing process is not something you do every day and most likely is not that often, and Brian makes sure you understand what is going on every step of the way. I will definitely recommend Brian to anyone I know going through this process and would turn to him again when needed in the future. Brian helped make this process comfortable and easy.”

“Jessica was awesome! She was so helpful throughout the entire process. Anytime I had questions, she was more than willing to chat through them. Home buying can be scary, especially if it’s your first time. But Jessica’s willingness to help me understand all things home buying really put me at ease.”

“My husband and I couldn’t have worked with a better lender. Cleveland went above and beyond to educate us as new home buyers and give us confidence in the goals we have worked so hard to achieve. Throughout the process, we were sure that we could rely on him to make the process smooth and save us from ultimate disappointment. He came to closing with us just to ensure that. I called Cleveland periodically with my “silly” questions and he answered them with thoughtful and encouraging responses. We are incredibly thankful to be connected with him!”
Darian G.

“Carol and her team were extremely helpful & communicative. They were available whenever we needed to ask a question about the mortgage process and often answered questions before I knew to ask them. We had the smoothest experience, and I learned a lot about the home-buying process each step of the way.”
Brady E.
Homebuyer
“Stuart Saunders and his team were excellent. We have closed on multiple mortgages in FL and GA and BankSouth Mortgage was, by far, the best experience we’ve ever had. Stuart was so fast with his communication and explained everything very clearly. The BankSouth Mortgage portal was also very helpful. We will highly recommend Stuart and BankSouth Mortgage to anyone we know who is applying for a mortgage loan!!”
Heather C.

“Nikki was an absolute blessing to work with. She helped us with things that were confusing to us and explained it on a level that we could understand. Her response time was very prompt. If someone is buying a house, I will definitely recommend Nikki!”
