The loan that was provided wasn't your typical loan from what I understand. Although it was difficult at times navigating uncharted waters 1st National was very helpful along the way. Thank you for everything you have done for us

From day one my wife and I got the very best of service you could ever want. We have had several house buying experiences and this one was by far the best. During this whole process, which was fairly quick to begin with, if I had a question, all I had to do was to make a quick call and the question was immediately taken care of. I would recommend this group to anyone looking for their services. George and Gail
