There’s a reason Brian and Nichole of Grand Lending have 5-star reviews across the board. I’d give them 100 stars if I could.I reached out to them on a Sunday afternoon to simply inquire about Loan options. I did not expect them to respond immediately. Within 1 hour, they assessed my information and provided a pre-qualification letter.Over the next several months, I made numerous offers and needed revised pre-qual letters. I’m convinced Brian and Nichole do not sleep because no matter what time of day, they delivered. They were committed to supporting me, with no financial incentive, until I found "the one."I ultimately found "the one" and thanks to Grand Lending, I was able to purchase it and pay LESS per month as a homeowner than I did as a renter...while in a fire zone!Not only did Grand Lending lock in an incredible interest rate (with money back), Brian went out of his way to obtain the HOA insurance documents because escrow was stalling. He also helped me get a Homeowner Insurance policy at a rate that I didn't even think was possible. Even my broker said, lenders normally don't go the extra mile like this.Finding Brian and Nichole is one of the best decisions I've made. Thank you both, from the bottom of my heart.Bumpy the rabbit also thanks you for her new yard.
