Derek and NOLA were great to work with. They made the process very easy and were communicating wee throughout the entire process. Highly Recommend using them if you are looking to purchase a new home and need a good lender.
Derek was referred to my wife and I by a friend of ours who is a Real Estate agent. After contacting Derek, he got back to us right away and we were pre approved for a loan in no time! He made himself available to us pretty much 24/7 to answer any questions we had and this being out first home, we had a lot! When ...
Derek worked very hard to make sure that we got the best deal possible. We provided him with a number and he was able to get us to that number! He truly did his best and exceeded our expectations! We will definitely refer Mr. Bignell to our friends and family!

Derek took time to explain and walk me through the whole home buying/mortgage lending process. He was always available and answered every question I might have had; no question was a stupid question. He was also very conscientious about reassuring me during wait periods; waiting for final approvals. I highly recom...
We decided to purchase a home earlier this year and began our hunt. Our realtor suggested that we get pre approved so we knew what price range to search in. We placed a phone call to Derek and a few minutes later we were done with our application. This was the first of many easy steps. Derek was quick with answers...
