"Clay did a GREAT JOB and I look forward to doing more deals in 2018 with him. He knows his stuff! I've been a local realtor for 19 years and he is at the TOP of my list of lenders. I had a great experience with him for myself with my refinance on my home... Easy and smooth! My clients that I have set to him have been very happy with his services. Thanks again!
