We just purchased a home using Borrow Smart Mortgage. Our first choice of banks fumbled the ball a couple times, so we reached out to what was originally our second choice, Borrow Smart. Tom was everything the other lender was not. He was communicative and proactive. He was clear he wasn't pushing me, but he keeps himself well aware of what is going on financially. He twice encouraged me to wait to lock our mortgage due to financial reports that were coming out that may have a positive effect on our rate. Both times, he was right and we ended up saving a little bit on both occasions, then locked. Angie was also great, and was able to push our closing forward a day to make our move a bit less hectic. She was also very communicative and was great to work with. Couldn't recommend enough!!!

Tom and Angie are absolutely fantastic. Not only did they get us a killer rate, but they did it in record time. Tom was recommended to me by a friend when we had only 2 weeks to close. I thought there was no way this could happen. But Tom promised he could, and we trusted him. He beat our other loan rate and closed on time. A true professional, but more than that, Tom and Angie really took it upon themselves to act as a guide for my wife and I as we tried to navigate the process. This was a huge purchase, and our prior loan officer didn’t give us the time of day. Tom and Angie were there for us, explaining everything along the way, guiding our paperwork, and teaching us little things about closing on a house. Needless to say, I’d recommend Tom and Angie and we plan to work with them again in the future.

We had a great experience working with Borrow Smart Mortgage as first time homebuyers! Tom went above and beyond and spent time answering questions on the phone, prompt email responses, and was diligent with ensuring we understood what was going on during the process and receiving the best current available rates. The other staff members we worked with were also very helpful. We would not hesitate to recommend Borrow Smart Mortgage and will definitely utilize their services in the future!

I worked with Jeff throughout my home buying process and I can not recommend him strongly enough. As a first time home buyer I had so many questions and Jeff was incredibly patient in explaining everything throughout the mortgage journey. He gave me so much more confidence and I really appreciate how easy it was to communicate with him and the other BorrowSmart staff. Incredible company. Thank you so much!

Tom Griffith and his team from Borrow Smart Mortgage, Inc. were incredibly helpful when I was at the crossroads. I walked away from a different lender just days before finally deciding on a new house purchase opportunity (for which I had my earnest money down 6 months ago and would have been a loss if I didn't go forward) to find a group of professional people who were able to help all the way - from gathering the pertinent questions related to my financial information, to my qualification process and rate buydown options, to having the house keys in my hand. Tom built up 3 scenarios based on my particular case showing my options and the associated consequences. He took the time to discuss those with me after he created a video presentation. He answered all my questions very quickly for the whole length of our collaboration and also discussed with me about the loan servicing and future re-fi opportunities and timing. I am glad our ways crossed and my goal was achieved. I'm very appreciative of Tom's performance as a lender, as his financial knowledge is very wide, with deep roots in his long time experience in the lending marketplace. I'm warmly recommending his services to all interested in having the best experience finding the right lender/loan for their home purchase.
