Chris was an absolute delight to work with. Very professional but also down to earth. Chris kept us very informed on the progress and process of our loan application through a weekly goals report. The amount of paperwork that is involved in a loan application can be overwhelming but Chris was always willing to assist in any way he could to make the process easier. Highly recommend Chris at SWBC Mortgage.

Chris Woods and his team did an excellent job with every step of the mortgage process. As a first time home buyer he was very patient and explained every step in detail. I also shopped arround a few other banks and Chris was the best rate with the best closing in town. I highly recommend SWBC and Chris Woods to anyone looking I to the home buying process.

Chris and the SWBC team were just who we needed to move into our home. When we first found our condo, we found a problem that we thought couldn’t be resolved. Chris knew how to take care of the issue, and we are now moved into the perfect place, after thinking we would have to look elsewhere.We couldn’t be more grateful!

I cannot say enough good things about Chris Woods and his team. I had been working with another mortgage company and ran into a roadblock less than 30 days from closing. Chris and his team made the roadblocks disappear and got me approved and closed on time. My realtor, Crystal Lethcoe with Regal Realty suggested I talk to Chris when I ran into problems. Chris reviewed my file and was confident he could help. His team hustled, put in the work and were a pleasure to deal with. I never had to question what was happening or the status of my loan, they were in regular contact and available to answer any questions I had. Chris and team are amazing.

Chris went above and beyond to help my girlfriend and I into our first home. It can be stressful buying a home, Chris has went out of his way to help us since the day that we first spoke on the phone. We are getting ready to welcome our first child and preparing to buy our first home. I know I called Chris and his team several times and they were always there to answer any questions we had and help relieve The stress that comes with buying a home. They walked us through every step and explained everything when we asked a questions. He and his team worked great with the sellers realtor Robin Wiggins. I would highly recommend anyone looking to secure a home loan to give Chris Woods a call, and anyone looking for a realtor to give Robin Wiggins a call.

I worked with and definitely recommend Chris Woods team with swbc along with agents Jessica Tammaro and Tyler Horner with EXP realty as well as Tad LeFevre with Silverpointe properties. There was a lot of stuff that came up during the closing process and they were able to promptly address all concerns and move things forward.We ran into extensive problems with the original lender we worked with who promised a very low rate on some obscure ARM product that almost seemed too good to be true. Turns out, it was. The appraisal that came back was absolutely horrible and I spent $1,200 up front on appraisals that couldn’t be used. At that point, Tad LeFevre, Realtor with SilverPointe Properties became involved along with a new mortgage lender, The Chris Woods Team with SWBC mortgage who was also doing the mortgage for the seller of the property we were in the process of buying on the purchase of their new home. The Chris Woods Team with SWBC Mortgage as well as Jessica, Tyler, and Tad were able to put together a custom solution for us which helped us get a FIXED rate which was very comparable to the ARM rate we were quoted by the other lender. The Woods Team did not charge me for an appraisal up front, the appraisal came in great and we closed super fast despite losing about 3 weeks while the original lender dropped the ball over and over. everyone that looked at it determined the appraiser was incompetent. The lender then gave us authority to do a second appraisal in agreement the first appraisal was of poor quality. The second appraisal came in at purchase price and appeared very normal. However, the lender then said we could not use the second appraisal either despite it being their request to order a second appraisal.The original lender also never refunded any of the $1,200 I was required to pay up front for either appraisal. However, SWBC and The Chris Woods Team ended up giving me a $600 credit which essentially covered a cost equal to one of the 2 appraisals I was charged by the original lender. Yes. That’s right, they compensated me for money that the previous lender costs be my mishandling my file.This is an example of professionalism and true old fashioned type service. Based on their cumulative merit, I highly recommend Jessica Tammaro, The Chris Woods Team with SWBC Mortgage and Tad LeFevre with SilverPointe Properties either individually or working together as a team to ANYONE considering selling or buying a property.

I've worked with Chris Woods to purchase two homes over several years; that should say something! He is available and responsive, knowledgeable, straightforward, and is easy to work with. Chris also has that rare quality of making you feel like he's got all the time in the world for you. It's been a pleasure working with him--Chris goes above and beyond to make his clients' experience outstanding, even after the closing.My recent home purchase was facilitated by Scott Troxel--part of the Dream Team with Chris!--during an extremely challenging period in the real estate market. Scott helped us navigate a constantly changing landscape and runaway prices; his even-keeled demeanor was a perfect cover for his extraordinarily agile surveillance and "read" of the market, the sellers, and other real estate agents.Chris and Scott make a great team, and I would highly recommend them!

Best mortgage team in Tennessee! Mike Golembiewski of the Chris Woods team at SWBC is the best loan originator I have ever worked with. He was honest, thorough, and helped us get the best deal on our mortgage. The whole process was seamless with constant updates, and they got us closed and in our new house very quickly! Super thankful for Mike G. and the whole Chris Woods team. If you need a help with a mortgage or refinance, this is the team to talk to.

My husband and I were introduced to Chris Woods in 2009 and since then have worked with him and his team on three different occasions. Chris has always been helpful in providing options on how best to meet our needs and when he could not provide what we needed, he connected us with the right person. He is patient and willing to explain anything and everything in layman's terms.His team is equally as great - they have done their best to streamline the process and to be clear on deadlines, etc.Chris has also always been great in working with our realtor. Maren Kurek with Park Realty helped us purchase our latest property and was amazing as well! She was introduced as a stranger and ended up being someone I can call a friend. Professional to a tee, but willing to give advice like a friend.I would recommend Chris and his team to anyone needing to secure a loan and Maren to anyone needing a realtor! We couldn't have gotten through this process as easily without either of them.Thank you!Shannon & Clint Russell

Chris is so easy to work with. My loan went through fast, and as expected. He and my agent Emily Woods teamed up to help me throughout the process. I hadn't bought a house in over 20 years and with their combined professional efforts we got it done!

In May 2022 my wife and I purchased our second home through Chris Woods at SWBC. This was our second time using Chris as our lender and I can honestly say that he has blown me away both times! Not only did he come to our rescue by offering a better rate and terms than other lenders we shopped for, but he also came to our rescue by becoming the lender for the buyer of the house we were concurrently selling after their lender failed them in the final stretch. I know that's a clunky sentence but it was also a fairly complicated situation! And Chris and his team were there with us through all the craziness with actual solutions and real clarity and insights. I give Chris a 10 out of 10 and personally recommend him to any of my friends who are buying!For reference, the following is our review from the first home my wife and I purchased through Chris back in 2018. I have copied it here from our facebook review we left back then:“My wife and I used Chris Woods and his team to close on our first house earlier this month. I went into the home buying process anticipating it being an uphill struggle (based on the warnings of friends and family). Chris and his team worked diligently to help make the process as smooth and seamless as possible.Some of the top strengths that stood out to me about Chris were:• He and his team were extremely communicative throughout the home buying process.• Chris didn't come off like a "salesman" and I never once felt pressured by him or his team to make a rushed decision.• Chris was kind enough to help me think through and strategize future decisions regarding the house, such as explaining the refinancing process and how to get rid of PMI.I cannot recommend working with Chris and his team enough!”
