“Allison Manual and her team at Ascend Bank were phenomenal in getting us on the path to build our dream home! We approached them with a complex mix of financing needs: a home equity loan, a land purchase, and a construction loan.
If you have ever looked into new construction financing, you know the amount of required information is immense—from draw schedules, complete architectural and engineering plans to appraisals. Allison was exceptional at navigating my husband and I through the required steps. They managed the lengthy amounts of documentation with ease and made sure we understood what was happening at every stage.
On top of her expertise, Allison was always available via text, phone, or email to answer our questions. We felt truly supported throughout the entire process. If you are looking to build or purchase your own home or need a lender who is knowledgeable and responsive, we highly recommend Allison!”
“Gayle at What's Cookin catered my mother-in-law's 80th birthday party, and the food—especially the variety of sandwich wraps—was both delicious and beautifully presented. Gayle was incredibly responsive and even added a personal touch to the display when she learned my mother was a lifelong equestrian. Her helpful and friendly service made the event special, and I highly recommend What’s Cookin for any occasion.”
