Went Out of Their Way
I am an older man in my 60s with limited computer skills. I have use Mike Kidwell two times in Home loans. He and his team made it a lot easier for me. They went out of their way to help me with my computer work and talk me through it on the phone, I was calling them up all the time I’d like to thank his team members John, Tara and especially Betsy Maldonado they really went out of their way to help me. Also, Leader Bank had the best rates and closing cost and they also do out-of-state loans.
