I don’t know where to begin to express how amazing Kevin Fisk at Community Lending is.Long story. My husband is a Veteran and a small business owner, I am a school nurse.

In the year of 2020 and a pandemic, where everything that could go wrong and has, we needed to buy a home.We have worked with a total of four lenders in a year long process. The first lender went on vacation for 7 days, 2 days prior to closing and did not finish documents for underwriting. We lost the house. The second lender, “the wolf, the cleaner” decided that he was too busy with refi’s and easy home loans that he no longer wanted to work with us because our loan process was much more difficult. It took him four months to make that decision. The third lender was on it. We were told this is easy, you will close no problem just go find your perfect home. That was easier said than done. During the Covid pandemic, EVERYONE wanted to move, and lenders are much more strict and scrutinizing.We finally found our home! We had to wait to close for 60 days due to the seller building their home, which was no problem for us. On the day of closing, we finished our walk through, headed to the bank to get the cashier’s check for final closing costs, and I was notified that this lender could no longer fund our home loan. We received that devastating phone call at 11:30am when we were scheduled to close at 2 pm. Devastated, angry, and confused does not begin to express what we were feeling. The reason it failed… We are a small business owner during a pandemic needing a VA loan. The due diligence we were guaranteed was not honored and adding insult to injury, this lender gave our information and documents to a ‘friend of his” before ever notifying us that we would not be closing on our home.

Enter Duke Frye, my God send of a realtor and Kevin Fisk, a guardian angel. Duke referred us to Kevin. He had worked with him before on difficult home loans and trusted him. Kevin contacted me 1 hour after receiving that horrible news. The only promise he made… I will do everything I can, I will be honest with you, and if we can’t do it now; we will come up with a plan to do it in the near future. He kept his word.

It took 14 days due to a holiday. Several long conversations to help us better understand the process, and a man with integrity who kept his word. He became as invested in this process as we were and he worked tirelessly to help us close on our dream home.

We will FOREVER be grateful to Kevin and his team. We will refer him to everyone and I will only work with him in the future. With sincerest of gratitude, Thank you Kevin. If there are awards given in your industry, you deserve the highest of accolades, and a ginormous raise. You are an asset to Community lending and more importantly, to people like my husband and myself.

Thank you so much for all of your time, effort and integrity.
