I wanted to take the time to thank my broker, Alex Foster! His hard work, effort and time has given me the best rate possible while being diligent in answering/responding to all my first time homebuyer needs. I wouldn't have done it a different way!🙂His customer service, his attitude will continue to take him far and I see the reason he became a broker/owner in this field.Keep doing a great job, if I know others who would like to buy a home. I would refer them to Alex!!Thanks again and I look forward to working with you in the future.~Williams

After working with several people who seemed to have very little interest in helping us work towards financing, Jared went above and beyond to help us make our dreams come true. He was able to explain everything to us, quickly responded to any questions and did alot of the leg work making the process as simple as possible. 20/10 would recommend!

I bought my home with Jared in December and couldn't be happier with the service I received. Their pricing was better than everyone else, he responded almost immediately every time I reached out, he explained everything to me at every step, and made the process actually enjoyable instead of stressful! 5 stars, two thumbs up, highly recommend.

Bobby was awesome during my Refinance! I was thinking about refinancing for quite some time, but wasn’t sure if I could with my grant from MSHDA. Bobby did so much leg work to get all the right information and got me a great deal that I couldn’t pass up. They made things so easy to send them info securely and even got my closing at a convenient time and place! I was approved and ready for close in under 2 weeks and ALL my questions were answered during the whole process!

I'm so happy to be writing this review from my new dream home!! As a first time home buyer, Alex Foster made the process of getting my first mortgage quick, easy and as stress free as possible. He was quick to respond to ALL of my questions in an incredibly timely manner. I knew that if I needed anything, he would be right there with his knowledge and expertise to assist! I cannot say enough about how happy I was with him and his team, and the peace of mind they gave me through out the entire home buying process. I would 110% use his services again in the future, as well as recommend him to my closest friends and family. I felt as though he really got to know me and my situation, and really did everything he could to make sure I got the house of my dreams in a way that worked best for my pocket book as well!

Jared was very attentive and action oriented towards the needs of my mortgage. I never once had the hesitancy to just reach out and ask a stupid question because he was so open to helping me understand this unfamiliar process. My fiancé and I are so glad we worked with him & the Mortgage City team!!

Working with Alex was an incredible experience. This was my first time buying a house so a lot of unknowns for me, but Alex always made sure to explain everything in an easy to understand manner. He was also very timely with his responses anytime I had a question. He fought to get me the approval I wanted and got it, also in a very timely manner! I can't recommend him enough! Thank you, Alex. I feel confident having you on my team for future purchases!

It was a pleasure working with Mortgage City. We were actually working with another company at first. We are so glad we choose to switch to Mortgage City. McKenzie sold us on her company and we loved the service and communication and updates. Although we also had Jennifer as our loan processor, and Jen was great, McKenzie never abandoned us and kept in touch to make sure things were progressing smoothly. Everyone was professional and honest and answered our questions. We had one hiccup and the company owner even called to apologize and made it up to us in a big way. We felt like they cared for us as people and we were not just another transaction. When my children buy their homes we will steer them to Mortgage City because they will be in good hands. I would definitely recommend Mortgage City to anyone looking to buy or refinance a home. They were upfront, honest and could be counted on. Five stars in my book!

Jared Lincoln was referred to me by a coworker and has been an absolute pleasure to refinance with. Jared’s professionalism, communication, and attentiveness made for a smooth transaction. I have already referred him to others seeking home refinancing options.

Jared Lincoln has been such a professional. Even though my particular situation was somewhat difficult, Jared certainly has risen to the occasion and provided us with a solution to our mortgage process. Absolutely will be referring him to anyone I know that needs a mortgage broker.

I had bought many properties and worked with many different lenders in the past. All of the lenders that I worked with before were all good, but working with Alex and his team were the best team that I have ever work with. Alex and the rest of the team were very responsive and extremely helpful. We are so glad and feel very lucky to have a chance to work with Alex and his team. Alex provided an excellent interest rate that other lenders can not match and also super nice and went above and beyond to help us close quickly. Anyone looking, I strongly recommend reach out to Alex. Thanks so much for your help Alex and your team. YOU AND YOUR TEAM ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST.We closed on 1/13/21

I had the pleasure of working with Jared Lincoln and Alex Foster. I am not one to typically write reviews, but this experience was so great I thought I should share. Not only did they close my loan in 14 days, but they always picked up their phone, responded to my emails within an hour, and even would text me back when they were not at work! I value great client service and this Mortgage City company sure knows how to provide excellent client service. I will refer everyone I know to them and would hope you do the same. My next house will be going through them as well. Thanks again Jared, Alex and everyone at Mortgage City! You ROCK!-James

Alex and the Mortgage City team were amazing from start to finish! I had been reaching out to other lenders to get pricing and approvals without luck and with one call to Alex he started the paperwork and was able to get me rough numbers the same day. He fought to get me the best rate available and at the best value so I couldn't be happier. Deal closed without any issues and I am already looking into the next one. If you need a team to jump through hoops for you to get the deal you want, make Alex at Mortgage City your first call!

Genna helped my wife and I purchase an investment property and she was great to work with! Very thorough and paid attention to details. Her attitude was always positive and my wife and I were very please with the process!We liked her so much that we decided to take advantage of these great rates and refinance our home. I have been referring her business to many of my friends and if you're reading this, you should 100% trust Genna for your next mortgage process!
