“Peggy Ryan at Bell Bank is a Fierce Advocate for First-Time Homeowners—Even Entrepreneurs!
We’re so grateful we worked with Peggy Ryan at Bell Bank for our first home purchase in the Twin Cities. As first-time homebuyers, newlyweds, and a household with self-employed income—this process could have been daunting. But Peggy made it not only doable, but enlightening and encouraging.
We chose Peggy because of her clear track record of getting things done where other lenders couldn’t—or wouldn’t. A few years ago, when my wife (a solo entrepreneur) first considered buying a home in South Minneapolis, Peggy worked with her to get pre-approved, even as a newer business owner. Though Chelsea didn’t buy at the time, Peggy’s persistence, creativity, and fierce advocacy stuck with us. So when we were finally ready to buy together, we knew Peggy was the only lender we trusted.
She approached our situation with wisdom and care—not just trying to get us the largest possible loan, but helping us find the right loan for long-term financial success. She guided us through complex underwriting with clarity and speed, making everything smoother than we thought possible—especially for buyers without W2 income.
Throughout the process, Peggy was highly organized and responsive, even sending approval letters over weekends and holidays when the market moved fast. She went above and beyond to get us a lower interest rate than others could offer, and even found a grant to support our closing costs!
If you're a self-employed buyer, solopreneur, entrepreneur, or part of a nontraditional household trying to buy your first home in St. Paul, Minneapolis, or the greater Twin Cities—Peggy Ryan is who you want on your team. She’s honest, strategic, tenacious, and truly invested in your success.
We truly can’t imagine going through this process without her. We love Peggy!”
“Nathan and Elina were great to work with. They made sure I had all the information I needed every step of the way in the Mortgage process. I would work with them again in the future. Highly recommended.”
