Renato was so helpful every step of the way. Response times were always very quick. And I was never left wondering what comes next in the mortgage process. Renato was always one step ahead and made me feel like a valued client.

We had Sharron Dee's from Approved Mortgage, and she was by far the easiest person to deal with in our new house build. She went above and beyond during the whole process. She was reliable, always on time and always looked out for our best interest. Could not recommend her and Approved Mortgage enough. Especially if you're building with Pulte as they are very difficult to deal with and Sharon made sure the process was as easy as could be from the mortgage side. If there was a six star rating she'd have it.

Approved Mortgage was wonderful to work with! Sharon was available at any time for questions, and was able to give us calming reassurance whenever we had concerns. She proactively let me know when new milestones had been reached. She has a wealth of knowledge and helped us through various decisions. She was very personable, friendly, and never made me feel unintelligent. I couldn’t imagine anything they could possibly do to make this process more easy or transparent. Closing was smooth, only took 30 minutes total, and we own our new home!

Having just gone through the new mortgage process, we could not have had a better experience than we had with Carrie Johnston! Carrie welcomed us into her office, used our time efficiently and was able to make this a smooth process. Carrie went one step further and attended our closing to ensure all went well. Not meany can say the person who arranged their mortgage would go to this effort!, Thank you, Carrie Johnston! We will recommend you to anyone looking for superior service!

Carrie Johnston and the team at Approved Mortgage have done refinance and purchase loans for my family. I really can't say enough about how thorough and professional she is. VA loans are a lot more involved than a conventional loan and to me, the borrower, it was a simple process. They handled everything with care and detail. You won't be disappointed!

My wife and I recently used Dan Rikkers to help us secure a mortgage for a new home in the Beech Grove area. We did everything remotely from Colorado including the closing. Dan was always available within a reasonable time. He always got back to us. When the appraisal took the full 5 business days to come back which meant he had to have all of the paperwork ready for the seller two days later, Dan made it happen. We used a mobile notary how came to our residence in the evening MST, so the title company closed for the day. Dan called me prior to the closing and told me that he would be available during our closing time for any questions we may have. True to his word, he was not only available, he was able to provide us with an important signature page the title company left out. Dan's service was over-the-top as far as I am concerned. If you are considering Approved Mortgage, I highly recommend asking specifically for Dan Rikkers.

From beginning to end we had all our questions and concerned answered. Renato and Natalie especially went above and beyond when I couldn’t find the exact documents they needed. I just gave them a point of contact and they gathered all the information needed. I’ll also add we closed in 3 weeks from our offer so this team wastes no time on getting things going. Could not be happier.

Carrie and her team are fantastic! Carrie handled the initial financing on our home when we purchased 3 years ago and just handled the refinancing of our home after our remodel. She got us excellent rates, eliminated our PMI and saved us over $400 per month on our house payment. Entire process was absolutely seamless, communication was first rate and the closing process was simple and she worked around our schedules to complete the application process. This is the 3rd time that we have used Carrie and her team at Approved Mortgage and we highly recommend them without reservation!

I had a stress free and painless experience with this firm. My loan officer Manu Kaur was very courteous and professional throughout the pre approval process, educated me on a lot of process and even showed up on my closing date. Being a business owner and most of my income on 1099, my situation was definitely not rainbows & roses but she took care of it all. My Sincere Thanks to Approved Mortgage and Especially MANU KAUR!

These guys are SUPER efficient and were willing to work with us to get a affordable mortgage in no time!

I’m an active residential real estate investor and now have a long standing relationship with Approved Mortgage. I have had my fair share of lending experiences outside and inside of Approved Mtg, and Diann Lorber and her team consistently prove themselves to be a very important piece of my business. Time and time again they’ve provided me the ideal combination of the best pricing/interest rates available along with the best customer service and professionalism out there. Diann is incredibly experienced and knowledgeable and it’s evident that she works incredibly hard to exceed her clients expectations. I’ll continue working with her for all of my personal financing needs and referring my clients/colleagues to her as well. Five stars!
Tiffany M. B.

So I started my loan process with Chase not knowing they have a poor reputation with mortgages (so congrats to you for reading reviews to make an informed decision). After 3 months and still not being able to close, I switched to Approved Mortgage and explained the problems I'd been having with Chase. They had me out of underwriting within 24 hrs and once the appraisal came back we were cleared to close. The process with Approved Mortgage took less than 4 weeks. Now to be realistic for others it might take you longer since I had all the documents put together and inspection and everything else done from the process with Chase. But 3 months and no house to 4 weeks and getting the house, I think you can do the math on why I'm happy with my Approved Mortgage experience. Can't thank Approved Mortgage enough for making it possible for us to close on our home!

Having had the opportunity to work with Carrie professionally in the past I knew she would do a great job. With that said she exceeded my expectations, made the process easy, smooth and very quick. We were ready to close well ahead of our closing date and the entire process was stress free! Can’t recommend Carrie enough to trust with your lending needs.

Extremely easy to work with and always responsive. If you have a question at 10 pm you can call and get your questions answered. Walk you through the whole process and let you know when action items are coming to sign. Approved Mortgage will make sure you are comfortable and making the best financial decision for your situation.

We were referred to Approved Mortgage by our friends several years ago for our first mortgage. We had a great experience, so it was no question we would use them again to refinance. The associate who worked with us as we refinanced was so helpful. He kept us updated on the status of our application and even communicated with us after office hours. The whole process was smooth. We definitely recommend this company for all your mortgage needs!

If my wife and I could give Carrie and her team a 10 we would. Carrie helped us through the process in getting the home we wanted. The entire process was easy and Carrie always took the time to explain anything we didn't understand. Carrie was always available to ask questions whether through phone call, text or email.

Taking out a mortgage can be pretty stressful, but with Carrie Johnston guiding us through the process, it was practically a breeze. She was clear and up front with us about every step in the process. She made sure things moved along quickly and smoothly so that at no point did we ever feel like the loan might not be ready in time for closing. She walked us through the disclosure statements as they were made available and was always available for questions. Carrie is well connected with the local real estate agents and title companies and does an amazing job coordinating with them all. She was a joy to work with, and her care and expertise made our home-buying experience that much less stressful.

I got the pleasure of working with Diann Lorber. She is was absolutely perfect in helping me get my mortgage for my new home. Being a first time buyer I was very unfamiliar with the process. Diann walked me through the process, answered all my questions in detail and explained things in a manner that I could understand. At a time when I felt overwhelmed she assured me that everything is fine and to trust the process. I'm happily the owner of my first home, and I have many thanks to give to her and her team. This is usually stressful experience for most, and that stress was alleviated by Diann and her expertise. I would recommend her to anyone who asked. Thank you!

Carrie Johnston was recommended to me by a co-worker. I simply could not be more pleased with her, and her assistant Meghan Sporre. As a first time home buyer and an accountant, I had SO MANY questions throughout this process. I could e-mail Carrie at any time of night and receive a response right away, or early the next morning. She was so patient and helpful. We also had something of a family tragedy during the home buying process and they were so gracious and kind about the whole thing. I felt like, of all the people that make money off of a home purchase (i.e. Realtors), Carrie and her team work the hardest and are the least well-compensated. I don't begrudge a single dollar paid to them. My husband even said she was worth every penny, and he is the biggest cheapskate you could ever meet (sorry, honey)! They got me an incredible rate on my loan, and have a huge amount of lenders available to them to help with that. The signing process is painless, and they are very clear about all the pieces needed in the financial process. Don't hesitate - reach out to Carrie at Approved Mortgage so she can take care of the financial stuff, and you can just worry about finding your dream home.

I was thoroughly impressed with Diann, the Approved process and speed with which we moved to close this deal.Should I purchase a new home in the future, I will definitely be reaching out to her for another assist and highly recommend Diann and Approved for your mortgage financial needs.
