Transaction closed. Amy had great updates. In all honesty, was a little surprised that on a roughly 45 day close it came down to signing docs and recording on same day because docs were delayed getting to title.

Buddy and his team were extremely helpful and willing to answer all of our questions during the process of buying our first home. Working with Buddy was not only about closing on a loan, but making the correct decisions that setup my family for the future.

Melissa is the main reason we had a great experience. She was attentive, reaponsive, and she answered all of our questions with kindness along the way. And then when she was out and our deal was close to the finish line Buddy stepped in at the right time and gave sound advice as well, keeping things moving along. Best experience we've ever had with a mortgage company.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Buddy Puckett, and I must say that his professionalism and honesty left a lasting impression. While many agents would jump at the opportunity to secure a loan for a potential client, he went above and beyond in providing guidance that was in my best interest, even if it meant not making a sale. After discussing my financial situation and goals for purchasing a home, he took the time to evaluate my circumstances thoroughly. To my surprise, he recommended that I consider buying the property in cash, rather than taking out a loan from him. He explained how this would save me money in the long run—avoiding interest, fees, and the stress of mortgage payments—and gave me a clear picture of the pros and cons of both options. In a world where commission often drives decisions, it was refreshing to encounter a loan agent who prioritized my financial well-being over making a quick sale. His transparency, honesty, and willingness to offer advice that wasn’t in his immediate interest are rare qualities in any industry, let alone finance. If you’re looking for a loan agent who will offer you solid, no-pressure advice and truly has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend Buddy Puckett. His integrity speaks volumes, and I’ll certainly keep him in mind for any future lending needs. -Charlie
