★★★★★
"Chris is an absolute genius in getting outside the box and finding solutions that best fit my clients. He worked hard to find an answer for a unique challenge facing my clients." - Adrienne D | REALTOR® | July 16, 2024
★★★★★
"The attention to detail by Chris and team was exceptional. The portal provided for uploading and receiving documents is exceptional. The frequent, yet important, communication made the purchase of this home less stressful than my previous purchase of a home from a different lender. The professionalism yet personal relationship developed over the course of this transaction gives me great confidence in recommending New Towne Mortgage to friends/family without reservation. Again, thank you Chris and team."

★★★★★
"Purchasing a house is never easy, but in this market it’s especially difficult and stressful. Chris walked us through every step. I appreciated particularly at the beginning before I even chose a lender that he gave me details in writing about potential price points and what my bottom line would be. Other lenders were vague."
-Terrence J M | December 23rd, 2022
★★★★★
