What Our Customers Say

Our Customers Love Us Almost as Much as We Love Them

When reality exceeds expectations, customer satisfaction reaches new heights. Take a look at what some of our customers have to say about their experience with Gateway Mortgage.

Since 2000, I have had three mortgages with this Company. They have always delivered exceptional service and have made sure that the process was as smooth and uneventful as possible. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for financing for a home.

- Matt

The team was responsive, thoughtful and thorough from the time we requested pre-approval all the way through closing and after. It really did feel like we were a priority for them, unlike when we contacted some other banks and lenders, and it was great that the relationship stayed that way through the entire home-buying process. I have zero concerns about recommending them.

- Lee

Super professional and answered ALL my questions timely and respectfully. I am a first time home buyer and they made it so easy. Would definitely recommend!

Shawn was amazing from our first conversation through our closing day. His guidance helped us save a ton of money in the process, and we couldn’t be any happier with our decision. Thank you Shawn and your Gateway team for treating us like family!!

Deidre was very helpful along the entire home buying process. She works hard to get you what you need in a timely manner. We had zero hang ups or problems while working with her. Thank you!

Through experience I now question perfect reviews on business's. In this case, I must verify that Jeff Hovey is the real deal. He was so helpful through the whole journey. Jeff never gave up even with obsticles I created for myself. He was patient, knowledgable and honest through the whole process. I learned a lot and he saw me through the process. Want a lender with integrity and good old fashioned values..choose Jeff Hovey. Very happy..Thank you Jeff!

I truly believe we wouldn’t have gotten to CLOSED without Mike’s help. Gateway was our THIRD mortgage lender that we worked with and thanks to Mike’s ability to solve problems we are moving into our new home! His extensive knowledge of the what it takes to make things happen was impressive but the #1 thing that we loved was his communication with us through the process. He was always available to talk us through the process and is a straight shooter who didn’t waste time sugar coating anything. This is YOUR GUY!! Call him today to buy your home. THANK YOU MIKE for helping us buy a home for our family. We are CUSTOMERS FOR LIFE!

Lori was so knowledgeable about the loans. I was lost with the whole mortgage process s. My credit score was low coming to Lori but she was able to help me do things to be rescored and then I was approved for loan within days. This is my 2nd home I brought from Lori. The first home I brought for my Mom to help her retire. Lori held my hand and helped me purchase a 2nd home and the whole process was smoothed. she held my hand and assisted me very well. I will be recommending Lori to all my family/friends.

Working with lenders is always a nerve-wracking endeavor. You're excited. Obviously. You've found your dream home. Of course. But now comes the hard part. You have to make an offer and, if accepted, you have a contract to sign. Then, there's inspections and negotiations for repairs found in that inspection. Biggest of all, you have to secure financing. I'm not going to lie. Financing is stressful and scary. You're making this massive, long-term commitment. It's a commitment that affects many years of your life. You want to find the best person to help you. You want him or her to guide you. Mostly, you want them to have your best interests at heart. We were lucky enough to have found this in Deb. I knew on our first phone call that Deb was the perfect person for us. She was knowledgeable but also caring and unfailingly kind. She made herself available to us at any time and any place. Not only that, she responded quickly and efficiently. In a fast paced world with jobs and families and friends, not having to wait for an answer is worth its weight in gold. To be open and perfectly honest with you, our journey from first showing to closing was rough. There were so many bumps in the road that we feared we'd never find our way to our perfect home. During this time, we had to call on Deb a lot. She never lost patience with us, not once, not even when I thought she would (and likely should). She handled our trials and tribulations with grace and did whatever she could to alleviate the endless stress we were under. Oftentimes, she would go above and beyond what some would deem her duty. She took time to check in with us, sometimes just to talk to us about or daily life. She wanted to be kept in the loop and up to date. Not because of the financial implications. But also because she wanted to be our friend, as well as our, lender. Like all of her other wonderful qualities as a loan originator, her friendship was worth its weight in gold. Because Deb Applegate is worth her weight in gold. She's worth more than her weight in gold. She's an absolute treasure, and I cannot imagine working with anyone else, now or in the future. I wouldn't even want to.

Pat was very friendly while remaining professional, helpful, and on top of us making sure we got all paperwork in quickly. He was great at answering any questions that arose, since we were first time home buyers.

Brett was extremely responsive and very knowledgeable! As a first-time homebuyer, I had question after question after question for him - and he always got back to me extremely fast. Glad to have worked with him and would absolutely recommend him to everyone looking for a lender. Brett offered me the lowest rates and talked me through the process. Only reason I did not go with Gateway Mortgage Group is because my builders had a preferred lender who matched the rates offered and we had friends go through them that recommended them as well. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend Brett for anyone looking to purchase a home!

Michael Avery was great! He made a daunting experience much easier. He took the time to educate and communicate. Even my realtor mentioned how communicative he was. I would highly recommend Gateway Mortgage!

Linda

Worked with Trey Whitlock. Trey was always on top of the issues and was always available. I have done refinance with others and it has been good; in this case it looks like you hired the right people for this complex task. I was given a personalized treatment on this affair and I feel that going forward, I am in good hands. Great job !!

D.j.

I highly recommend going with Gateway Mortgage. Cat Blackmon helped me every step of the way making the process of using my VA home loan very easy. She always got back to me immediately with the tons of questions I would ask. I can’t thank her enough for making my first home purchase an amazing experience.

Elizabeth

This was the most stress free mortgage company we have ever worked with. The closing was a snap and quick. Thank you! We highly recommend Gateway Mortgage for your mortgages.

Hanna

Buying our first home was intimidating, but Tyler and the Gateway Mortgage team made the process very smooth for my husband and I! We will definitely use them for any future mortgage needs!

Robert

My wife and I just bought our first home together in El Paso, Texas. Our agent, Lee Proctor, was so helpful letting us know exactly what was needed and when. Her knowledge and professionalism was unmatched. She went the extra mile to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible.

Tonya

The process of getting our new home loan far exceeded our expectations, Deidre was so accessible and always had the answer to every question. Deidre & Gateway made this process easy and amazing.

Shahmeer

These people are great. Aaron was wonderful in the whole process and was always there for us at every step of the way. Highly recommended

Jay

Brandy walkedme through every step of the process. She is knowledgeable, and when one door would close, she would call me down, and find another open door. I couldn’t be happier with the process.

Matthew

Thank you to Grant Griggs & his Team at Gateway for making my first time home buying experience super smooth and simple!
Before i was referred to them, i was having major issues with my first lender. Grant and his came in and made everything look like a walk in the park. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Thank ya’ll so much, could not have began this exciting new chapter in life without you!!

Kenny

Couldn’t have been happier with my refi through Gateway! Nikki Richmond and everyone else involved were top notch from beginning to end. Closed in less than 30 days as well! Thanks Gateway!

Pamela

They are great to work with and really helped us getting a good loan with decent interest rate. I highly recommend them. We worked with Chip and a girl in office they both were awesome!

Nate and Pam Young

Lauren

My goodness! Mike Steele and his team were just AMAZING! We have been looking for the right home for over 6 months. In that time, Mike consistently checked in with us and quickly produced numbers and information we needed to put several offers on homes. When the right home and time came, Mike was there for anything and everything. He was very organized and clear in his communication and documentation. It didn’t stop there. At closing, the title agency was just pouring with compliments of appreciation about Mike and his team. Hoping we have found our forever home, but, if ever needed Mike’s services again, there is no question or hesitation of where we will be choosing.

Shannon

We just bought our first home in Myrtle Beach, SC, and just wanted to specifically name Cole, Seth and Dana, who were all extremely helpful and available to answer all of our questions and did a great job helping us close on time and were otherwise just great to deal with. Extremely friendly, helpful and just good people. We’ve already recommended Gateway to other people because of the actions of these three. Cole mentioned at the beginning that finding the right lender can be tough because you need to really connect with your lender because it’s such an involved experience, and we really feel like we found a great group of people to welcome into our family.

You guys are awesome, thanks for making buying our first home a great experience.

Kathleen

I can’t even begin to explain what an amazing experience we have had with Gateway Mortgage! They made buying a house much easier than I’ve experienced in the past. HIGHLY recommend Aaron and his team!!! Thank you!!

Many thanks to Tami Goodman and her team at Gateway Mortgage Group. They helped me buy my first home for my boys and I. She was always in contact with me and kept me up to date every step of the way. She was always there to answer any question I had. We love our new home and we wouldn’t be here without Tami and her team!

Natalie

Just an all around amazing group of people and an amazing experience.

Easy, fast and smooth refinance! Tom Ker helped us get exactly what we needed. This is our second refi with Tom. I’d recommend him very highly!

Matt Sura exceeded my husband and my expectations by miles! He was patient, flexible and available whenever we needed him. We enjoyed each and every interaction with him, and he was able to get us the financing that we needed. He will definitely be our go-to guy for mortgage financing in the future!

Corey

Former military with several moves under our belts. Jeff gave us more communication than anyone. Fantastic and smooth process!

Kimberly

My husband and I are so thankful for Stefen Brooks and the rest of the GATEWAY Mortgage team. They were quick to respond with any questions we had through this process.

Renato

Brandy Robinson is a superstar. We requested to close in 15 days and Brandy stepped up, coordinated all of the moving parts and made this purchase as easy as possible for all parties involved. I would recommend her services to all I know and plan on using her for our clients moving forward too. Give her and her team a try, you will NOT be disappointed.

Thanks Brandy for all of you hard work and dedication!

Elyse

Best experience ever! Beth Yount and her team are rockstars! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a mortgage.

Joy

We just purchased a new home in Oak Ridge, TN. (Knoxville area) Tami Goodman was our “mortgage girl” and she and her team are AMAZING. The process was super easy…from the online mortgage application to the closing table. Tami was professional, informative, and kept us abreast of everything needed to get us to closing. She took her time and gave in depth explanations of concepts that were new to us. She and her team were there for us every step of the day. I would highly recommend Tami and Gateway Mortgage to anyone looking to secure a home loan…she’ll definitely be our “mortgage girl” for life!

Jacob

My fiance and I just bought our first house! Exciting time made much less stressful by having a good team to work with! One of the key people on that team was Steve Kluthe from Gateway! He always got right on it when we needed information or help with anything! People told us all about the horrors of the home buying process, but we were fortunate enough to have good people in our corner! Gateway was a big part of our success in finding the perfect home, and closing quickly and painlessly! Can’t say enough good things!

Susan

Sure couldn’t have been a smoother process. Worked with us from the very beginning to the very end and very stress free! Thank you Brett and Kari!!!

We had a wonderful experience with Marcia! She was extremely helpful and knowledgeable in our loan process. I would recommend using Gateway and would use them again.

Don

My Wife and I loved how JoAnn Lopez helped us get our first home. She was very professional and awesome to work with. Thank you again.

I can’t describe how satisfied I am with the entire process it still seems surreal because it was so smooth. Clark and his team were awesome along with my agent Mrs Candy Harris@ Lacey Baaheth& associates truly became life long friends she is an awesome person to work with.

Oliv

You are in great hands at Gateway Mortgage! My sister recommended me to work with Haydee Carpy and I was not let down on her excellent service. Haydee stayed on top of my file along with Candy help and we were able to get approved and closed super quick and easy. I will definitely recommend anyone I know to her for any future financing. I’m excited to move into my new home, it’s been a long time coming. Thanks again Haydee at Houston office on Augusta Dr.

Jennifer

I recently closed on my second home, but the first time selling and buying together and worked with Kris Hogrefe of Gateway Mortgage in Knoxville, TN. Kris was wonderful to work with – he talked me through every step of the process and was able to provide information sometimes even before my realtor! I also really like that Gateway keeps their loans rather than selling them. I would highly recommend Kris to anyone looking to buy a house this summer! He will make the process super easy!

Gina

I highly recommend Gateway Mortgage and my LO, Ron Lopez! This was my first home loan on my own and Ron was very patient and took the time to answer all my questions and explain why the answer was what it was. He was very knowledgeable and proficient, as well as very professional, empathetic, and compassionate with a couple of hiccups we had. I loved the checkpoint videos sent out. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will recommend Ron and Gateway to anyone looking to obtain a mortgage.

Melissa

My husband, Charlie, and I had the opportunity to work alongside Kris Hogrefe for our first home. Ryan Coleman, from Hometown Realty, suggested Kris. The first time we talked with Kris he had this exciting, encouraging and joyful energy about him. It never went away! Throughout our entire process Kris and his team were very informative, helpful and organized. It was very reassuring working with them. They even have cute little videos they send you about the different parts of the mortgage process that help you better understand what is happening and even make you laugh! We absolutely recommend Kris and his team and cannot speak highly enough about them!
