We just bought our first house and used a local mortgage company. Jenn was our loan officer, and she’s with Granite Bank. Awesome experience all around, we closed in four weeks without one hiccup. Granite Bank gets 5 stars!

If you’re a veteran I highly recommend going with Jen she is on the ball and takes time to answer any small questions one might have about the paperwork. She also shows up to closing and and even brought me a housewarming gift.
