Bill Hudson was amazing to work with. He took time to explain the pre-approval processes, what information was needed, and he advised me the best way to raise my credit score for my final approval. His replies were always timely and he paid attention to my availability and always called when I was off work! That small attention to detail was greatly appreciated! I know he didn’t do it all himself; his whole team was fantastic!!

It's been a 2 year journey of house hunting, in a crazy, house selling frenzy, Michigan has been in the last couple of years. First house we bid on two years ago required a pre-approval. That's when we were introduced to Nick VanVorst. We were shocked and amazed by his work ethic!! He had us pre-approved in a matter of about four hours. Let me also add, this was done in the evening. I believe our last conversation was about 10:30 at night— amazing!! I would recommend him to anyone, espeically if you have ever worked with a bank before, you will be as shocked and amazed as we were!
