"Great to work with"
Aug 2019

"Our experience working with NFM Lending was great! They made the process for very easy everything was done professionally. James made himself available to my husband and I answering any questions and concerns. This was my first time purchasing a home just recently I was helping my mother out when she was refinancing her home. There were times where the agent was not very good at making sure all of my Moms questions were answered. Concerning the process this was not our experience. Well done NFM"
