Josiah has been the mortgage lender I trust for my clients for years. His video breakdowns on different loan options and strategies is always a hit with my buyers. They get a walkthrough of the different options and how it affects purchase price, cash to close, and interest rate. This allows for easy discussions and no surprises when it's time to get to the signing table. He's thorough, attentive, and extreme knowledgeable. Wish I could do more than 5 stars!

Josiah was so helpful and communicative throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain what every form was and answered all of my (many!) questions. By the time I went to sign my paperwork, it was very easy because he had sent me all of the forms ahead of time so I could review them. He helped me navigate government loans and grants. I could not have asked for a better person on my team!
