Their customer service is second to none is the lending industry. They communicate every step of the way and answer emails - even on the weekends. Who does that? First Western FSB!

I don't believe in luck, I believe in trust and understanding, I've been with MRS Kelly Robert for some YEARS and I've made good amount of money with her simple strategies of trading. Meeting with her has been the best experience that has happened to me in this past few months and I'm expecting yet another payment from the broker. Scammers are everywhere but to find a reliable trader like MRS Kelly Robert is not an easy task and my advice for you all is to come over and join her. contact her directly on her

I saw so many people talking about a particular man called MR Kevin McCarthycrypto, I kept wondering if he is really an expert trader like they say and not a scammer like the others, then I contacted him. I was so shocked that with just $1,000 I invested, MR Kevin McCarthycrypto assisted me managed my account and after 7 days of trading. I made my first withdrawal of $12,900.“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.” I’m so delighted sharing this testimony with you all. Contact him,

The employees are pleasant and their customer service is best in class. This bank is the best kept secret in town as far as I am concerned. A great bank for savers.

I have had the privilege of working with FWFSB on two different loans for rental properties that my wife and I purchased through our Self-Directed IRA. Jeff and Becky have been absolutely great. All terms were spelled out very clearly from Day 1 and there have been no surprises before, during or after the purchase of our properties. Prior to finding FWFSB, I contacted multiple other companies that claimed to make IRA real estate loans, but none of them seemed interested in actually making loans. FWFSB is selective in the type of properties they will loan on in terms of age, location, etc. - as they should be. But trust me, if you bring a good deal their way then you can expect them to make every effort to get something worked out with you. Highly recommend them.

I am a real estate investor and have used many banks and have done many loans. Working with First Western was incredible. Nick Conway talked me through numerous scenarios and ideas. He outlined the options in a clear straightforward way and put up with my thinking out loud. Becky Walters is the epitome of organization. She followed up quickly and was also patient but firm with her reminders. When I closed on the loan and saw that First Western had already filled out the auto pay forms for me for my IRA, I could have sent a kiss through the mail. This important detail saved me at least an hour of my time and decreased my stress level regarding getting the auto pay paperwork in on time for the first payment. Obviously, First Western has a great deal of experience doing the complicated IRA loans.

First Western Federal was my Self-directed IRA lender for a duplex I bought recently in Austin Texas. They made the lending process very easy to do and easy to understand. Roger St Pierre was super helpful and patient in explaining the process to me and was great at keeping me updated all along the way. Unlike other lenders, Roger asks most of the questions up front and, once he gives you the approval, you are good to go. Most other lenders offered a "provisional approval" right away but then wouldn't commit until much further in the process. Since I had a deal I really wanted to close, a short timeline, and Earnest money at stake, I was glad that I went with Roger. They got the closing instructions to the title company three days early and the loan documents to me to review two days early. Thus, by the time I got to closing, I already knew everything was good to go. I can attest that they run a great shop. PS. (They also suggested a couple of different attorney firms to draft my LLC documents. The one I selected, KKOS, also turned out to be fantastic and super speedy. My only tip is to make sure that everyone at the bank and the attorney office knows your time line and whether you value "cheap" or "quick". The attorney selected "send check" from my self directed IRA to fund the LLC bank account for closing and I luckily happened to catch that and changed it to "send wire" so that there would be no delays. The attorneys were saving me wire fees but I needed it to be fast so I changed the forms to make sure that each time things were sent via Fedex or wire for fastest results. I closed in less than 30 days from start to finish.)

These guys have put together three loans for my retirement account investments. The terms and pricing are great, they understand this niche product better than others and the process has been easier each time. The last loan closed in something like 10 days from application to funding. Highly recommend Jeff , Roger and their team.

I went thru the process to to a loan thru my IRA, everything went fairly smoothly until I actually read the loan documents and they have a clause that the loan can be called "on demand". This means for any reason the lender can inform you that you need to pay back the loan in full. This was not an option as you can only fund an IRA with certain amounts. I nor my attorney have ever seen this type of clause in a loan and they would not change or add any language to modify this clause. BE AWARE when you appy with them, as i lost a property and a significant amount of money with them.
