“Rick and Jennifer were amazing from start to finish. Although not the home buying experience I had hoped for (not at any fault of their own or their company) they continued to strive to ensure that they could do everything possible and went above and beyond! Thank you both for all of the help with everything!”

“My husband and I just purchased our second rental home in Texas and Rick, Jennifer and the entire team made it an easy process with us being in Colorado Springs. I work a lot of hours and don’t check email like I should and would receive a gentle nudge text from Jennifer to keep us on track and it was GREAT! Any questions we had with the process were answered quickly either by email or a phone call (thank you MJ!) Rick’s team make us feel like we are their only customers. We appreciate the professionalism and their promptness and the weekly updates by Nick. Thank you all once again”

“Rick Ward and his team exemplified both outstanding and professional services throughout our time with them. Rick and the rest of his team made the home buying process both easy and efficient – and as a bonus for us first-time homebuyers – not stressful at all! We were able to close on our home within less than 3 weeks, which was definitely a big plus considering we are in the military and needed to be in a home as soon as possible! Both Rick and Jennifer were prompt in answering our questions, and were always available when we needed them – whether it be a quick call or a lengthy text. We will most definitely be using this business again for our next purchase or refinance, and will also be recommending them to anyone who is in need of a loan, refinance, or any of their services! Thank you again Rick and the rest of your team for such fantastic services that went well beyond our expectations!”
