Lynn's Reviews:

Lynn Owenby has been very friendly and helpful during the entire process of obtaining a new VA loan. We have had great communications with Lynn and he has done a superior job in bringing everything all together in just two and 1/2 weeks from when we signed a purchase agreement to when we closed. We highly recommend Lynn for anyone looking for a mortgage!

Leather's Reviews:

Not one time was I stress out everything was done with a respectable conversation when there was information needed I had to get to them they was very helpful and always kept me informed on what was going on for the next step very thankful for the team that I had to put me into my new home.
Kimbrelyn R★★★★★
Leather is super professional and personable. She's available when you need and if she's not she's prompt to get right back to you to assist you in any way you need. She's very pleasant and positive as well. I was pregnant thru this process and for the most part she was able to keep me calm and optimistic and mostly patient. Especially being I was very emotional at times. She was right there to guide me and my husband thru our refinance and the way she made herself available to us felt like she was a family member. Which in our eyes is a quality and something that matters.
Manuel B★★★★★
Leather Banks provided exceptional, friendly, and helpful service through out the entire process. She was available day, night, and weekends. The entire process she looked for ways to close the deal and make the loan happen. On April 19, 21 we closed on our home due to Leather hard work and dedication. She is a great lender and person all around. I would recommend her to any and everyone looking for a mortgage!!

Lynn Owenby

Loan Officer

With 15+ years in the mortgage industry, I understand and appreciate the fact that buying a home is a big deal. I intend to make the process easier by being hi-tech and, just as important, high-touch. I am here from application to closing and beyond. It’s not just a closed loan, it’s a relationship that goes beyond the closing.

I firmly believe that homeownership is vital to our neighborhoods, communities, and ultimately the nation as a whole.

So it’s just not an application, it’s an opportunity to enrich the lives of individuals and transform houses into homes.  
 
It’s my goal and commitment to keep homeownership thriving.
