Ryan and his team were exceptional with qualifying our mutual client, communicating throughout the process, and reaching out directly to us if there were any needs which arose. Disclosures were prompt and accurate, and closing day was seamless! Give these guys a chance to prove their product and their service - you will be amazed! Lee Bybee, Wichita Falls TX

Big thank you to the mortgage broker team (Ryan Speltz, Zac and Sean) at Creative 1st Mortgage for making something happen that honestly didn’t feel easy as someone in the service industry.Being a tipped employee can make the home-buying process a lot more complicated, but they never once made it feel impossible. They worked tirelessly behind the scenes, stayed patient through every step, and went above and beyond to make sure everything came together.Let me further note, that ryan continued running rates the entire time, and got me to a fixed 5.9 interest rate. Every time he found a lower option, he locked me in. He never stopped running numbers until we got to the absolute lowest he thought I could get to.Because of their dedication, guidance, and persistence, I officially got my “clear to close”—and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re in the service industry like me and think buying a home is out of reach, trust me—it’s not with the right team in your corner. The feeling i felt when i saw that i made it to the finish line was indescribable.

Big thank you to my incredible realtor Brianna Alfaro (she is a former service industry worker, and is motivated to help those of us still in the field) and the mortgage broker team (Ryan Speltz, Zac and Sean) at Creative 1st Mortgage for making something happen that honestly didn’t feel easy as someone in the service industry. Being a tipped employee can make the home-buying process a lot more complicated, but they never once made it feel impossible.

The feeling i felt when i saw that i made it to the finish line was indescribable. Thank you all for believing in me and putting in the work to make this happen! When any of you are ready to buy, please reach out and let me link you up with these absolute professionals!!!
