My husband was deployed and he reenlisted for a different duty station. We currently own our home in NC and needed to get another home loan for AL before having sold our home. Rustin Nance was our representative and he took such good care of us. From start to finish he provided us with exceptional customer service. He explained everything in detail so we could understand it. Our loan closed the day it was suppose to and we got the home of our dreams! Pros: From Start to Finish Cons: nothing! more

Stevie Weaver was the best. She was very fast in getting us approved and worked tirelessly with us and with our realtors to move the loan along to close. Our realtors had not worked with VA loans before and now say that's all they want to work with based on this experience with Stevie. The whole thing could not have gone smoother. Pros: Excellent service; strong communication; very knowledgable more

I am the real estate agent that was involved in this transaction. We worked with Stevie Weaver.

When we decided to purchase a home we considered the convention loan route we had used in the past. We were under the impression that a VA loan was complicated and like almost all Government programs bureaucratic and slow. Dealing with iFreedomDirect was painless. A VA Loan Specialist heads the process iFreedomDirect employs. Our VA Loan Specialist was Mr. Jeff Chalker. He communicated with us almost daily and offered many suggestions on our purchase offers. Additionally, Jeff knew every benefit due to us veterans that helped lower our closing cost. We recommend highly to all veterans considering a VA home loan to contact iFreedomDirect for their VA loan requirements. We feel very fortunate to have had the services of Jeff Chalker, a professional and a patriot. Jerry Flint MSgt Ret. USAF Pros: Professional more

I separated from active duty because i wanted to plant roots somewhere. I enlisted in the Reserves before I separated. I found the perfect house for me so now I needed to find a realtor and a bank to fund my loan. So I placed my name and situation on several site like Lending tree. Almost immediately and I mean that literally a Flood of calls and emails came in with offer after offer with generally most of them being honest and straightforward. My realtor was a friend of the family and he already had a bank and finance officer he wanted me to use so i went with my realtor's option. Even though it became annoying talking with loan officers around the clock from around the U.S I answered each with patience learning as much as I could from each and comparing one to the other. Anyway this guy Craig Richwine from ifreedom direct calls me up one night after those calls had slowed down and I hear him out. He doesn't promise me the world or put on a show. He gives it to me straight that as far as Government backed loans go there is probably No one No one better equipped to handle my home purchase. He explained the process front to back and back to front. My interest rate, the market, Fees allowed and not allowed with a VA Loan. So I left my Realtor's Loan officer and went with Craig Richwine at ifreedom direct. After the switch even my realtor being prior military himself was impressed with Mr. Richwine's knowledge of the VA loan. Its' not only the knowledge base that ifreedom direct offers that impressed us. It was the professionalism and the hard work put in on their end. I was given two numbers to contact Mr. Richwine at and whenever I had question it was answered the same day if not immediately. I also had an email address to forward all documentation he required from me. Sometimes I would receive forms he needed filled out on my blackberry which allowed the entire process to continue moving forward rather than coming to a halt because I wasn't at a computer to check my email. The original house we put in for was 200,000 and when the house down the street came back onto the market we went through the process all over again with another property. So I've got this big house 4075sq ft for 170,000. My payments are affordable and conveniently paid online. this was my first home purchase and should I ever go through this again I will look to ifreedom direct first. Its Great to compare but make sure you give ifreedom direct a call if they don't call you. Pros: Knowledgeable, Professional - Awesome! Cons: Utah lol more

As a realtor in the Atlanta area, I was concerned when my buyer said he was using iFreedom Direct located out of state. I prefer my clients use a lender that is local to ensure good communication and so we can go to that lender's office if needed. Jade Blake with iFreedom Direct has definitely changed my opinion! He provided outstanding communication and follow through during the entire process, and was extremely pleasant to work with. I would recommend them to future clients, especially those getting VA loans. Thank you, Jade, for such a professional experience! Pros: Excellent communication and follow through more

In early February I clicked a link in a Military Newsletter, and filled out an information request. The next day I began getting calls from iFreedom Direct. To make a long story short, in 24 hours after talking to Angie we got a pre-approval, the following weekend we found a house, made an offer, and closed in under 3 weeks. There were literally no hiccups with iFreedom Direct, and when there was a couple of issues with the title company, Angie was dealing with it and getting it resolved with lightning speed. I was informed of everything during the entire process, and I couldn't have asked for better treatement from Angie. She is a true asset to the company, and we are grateful to her for hard work in getting us into a house. Pros: Fast, friendly, efficient service. Angie Petersen rocks. Cons: none, if you want a house more

Stevie Weaver and Jeff Sutherland were the best. Stevie was on top of everything and keeping us informed on what was going on. She explained every detail and followed up with everything.

We applied for an FHA mortgage loan recently at iFreedom Direct. It was our good fortune to be assigned to Neils (Jorgensen). Neils was very professional.

If anyone is seeking a VA or FHA loan they should seek out iFreedom and Neils. Pros: Responsiveness of staff more

Andrea went above and beyond the call of duty in maintaining the progress and details of my loan in addition to moving the title company along in a rapid fashion in order to get the closing done. I couldn't have possibly asked for a better lender and someone to work with again. Makes me almost want to buy another house just to work with her:-) Pros: Thorough, timely, polite and super helpful!!! Cons: Wish I would have used her on my first house!!!!!!!!! more

Stevie Weaver told us everything that we needed to know about the process and the VA. I thought that the process would be difficult but it was exactly the opposite and we are closing today, less than 30 days from our contract start. Stevie had us approved and all we had to do was find ""the"" house. I have to admit that I called and emailed her about everything and she always answered then not later. YOU CANNOT FIND A BETTER GROUP, BUT Stevie is the exception because she made us believe in OUR dream and together, we made it come true Pros: Best attention to client and details Cons: They can't be your real estate agent more

I recently applied for a mortgage loan with Kris and she made the entire process trouble free. She worked with my builder and realtor and we closed sooner than than the closing date. She truly made an otherwise stressful process for me enjoyable which is saying a lot. You can put your trust in Kris to ensure there are no surprises and that your interests are put first. I would highly recommend Kris to anyone looking for a mortgage. She will take good care of you! Pros: Stellar Customer Service more

We worked with Neils Jorgensen at iFreedom Direct to refinance our home mortgage. This was the easiet and fastest that we had ever refinanced before. Neils was very helpful and kept in constant contact. He had everything taked care of and answered any questions immediately. We never had to take time from work or go anywhere out of the way. Everything was done on the internet and closing was at our own home. Very convenient!! Thanks, Neils! Pros: Friendly, Fast and very Helpful Cons: Can't think of any drawbacks more

Mike Gilbert was a very knowledgeable person. Everything was explained to me from the start to the finish. Every form I filled out was explained to me sometimes line by line. Mike Gilbert was easy to get a hold of at all times. He kept you informed of everything you needed to know. He checked on you several times even after you closed. I would recommend him to any veteran who needed a home loan. In all the paperwork I filled out and signed there were no surprises because Mike explained it all. He made the loan process easy. Pros: nothing left unexplained. Thorough. Helpful more

Applying for a VA guaranteed loan is difficult enough, but with today's restrictions it is a nightmare without lots of help. More than once I expressed my frustration through my short temper and Kris Rutkoski never let me know she was frustrated with me. I know I was a pain in the ---. Kris remained warm and friendly. We got it done in a speedy manner, too. Pros: Knowlegable, friendly and caring loan specialist Cons: Not sure, maybe if you do not work with Kris Rutkoski more

When Angie Petersen first called me about six months ago to offer the services of IFreedom, I confess I was on the verge of filing her contact information in a heap that I seldom if ever refer to again, but something in her voice told me this is a very special lady who may be a great asset someday. I had been waiting for that perfect opportunity to buy a home and recently while waiting to see how the over night rates would go it dawned on me that I was bottom picking the market. Then came that golden voice, following up as she promised when she thought the buying window was ripe. Thanks to Angie who quickly pre-qualified me I was able to locate an agent and then a perfect house for the right price. At every turn Angie met even the real estate agent's questions with in depth knowledge and technical savvy. The deal simply would not have happened without her. As I enjoy living in my almost new home, I will remember who helped me make it happen, Angie Petersen. When IFreedom management counts their blessings at the end of the year, I hope they realize that without Angie and perhaps a few others like her, they wouldn't have very much to be thankful about. I recommend Angie for all of your mortgage needs because she is compassionate, but powerfully equipped with the funding knowledge you will need to make things happen for you. Jeff Hollers Pros: Gentle Professionalism more
