Melinda and her team are nothing short of lifesavers. My fiancé and I were working with another lender when, with only a week left before our commitment letter was due, our mortgage fell through. We reached out to Melinda in a panic, terrified we’d lose the house. She immediately took the reins and worked tirelessly to secure us a mortgage (at a great rate!) and get us to the finish line. She is a true miracle worker. Many thanks as well to her colleague Austin. An absolutely impeccable team. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for getting us home.

Melinda and her team are amazing. They helped me take care of my mortgage after my divorce, and I have only great things to say about them. They were quick, and communicative with me. Still now after everything has been done, they still keep me posted. I feel very well taken care of with them.

I want to express my gratitude to Melinda and her Rock Star team. They demonstrated, flexibility, and dedication in navigating the challenges I brought to the table. Coordinating everything from across the country was no small feat, especially with shifting timelines due to unforeseen circumstances. Yet, their support never wavered. I truly can't thank them enough for their for going above and beyond to make this happen. Thank you

Working with The Truth About Lending is a fantastic experience, and Chad is always truly exceptional!
His knowledge of the lending process is unmatched, and what really stood out was the diversity of options he presents. Chad takes the time to explain every path clearly, helping you choose what truly worked best for your situation (not just the most common route).
His professionalism, patience, and transparency made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend Chad and the whole team if you're looking for expert guidance and real options that fit your needs! I wish I could give more than 5 stars!

Melinda has been amazing to work with on multiple properties. She really knows her stuff and always finds the smartest way to structure things financially. What I appreciate the most is how much she genuinely cares, she digs into every detail to make sure there are no surprises at closing which provides much needed peace of mind! She’s always available when you need her, even on weekends and would even assist me past midnight whenever she could. You’ll never feel left out or being on your own. She truly stands out after dealing with other brokers who dropped the ball, the difference in professionalism and follow-through was night and day. Can’t recommend her enough!

Melinda is amazing! We had a very complex situation regarding a purchase involving two couples. Melinda worked diligently to find us the best possible options until we were able to find a lender. She was up late many nights ended an outstanding job communicating and explaining everything in detail so that we can make the most informed decisions. We are very happy with our purchase. I would highly recommend her!

From the beginning, we thought it was going to be a challenging experience, but the process was so smooth and easy to understand that we are grateful as first time home buyers that truth about lending was there to help us. Everything was a first experience for us and at some points we were confused and overwhelmed, but they made us feel so comfortable. We are happy to have had them at our side for this great opportunity. we give them five stars on our experience, purchasing our new home.
