Chris is incredibly knowledgeable about the mortgage industry, offers exceptionally competitive rates and does a great job of keeping borrowers informed about and during the process, which is a testament to the level of professional which he provides to each client. Chris is always available and extremely quick to respond to any questions, which makes for a quick and smooth transaction.

Christopher helped my wife and I find a loan that met our needs. It was delivered on time, and as promised. We had worked with a different broker in the past, and were shocked to see first hand how smooth the process can be in the hands of a professional. No gimmicks and no false promises, his work is thorough and accurate.

Chris was very highly recommended to me through a family member and the moment I spoke with him for the first time I immediately knew why; he is very professional and detail oriented. Chris did an outstanding job working with us to understand every single aspect of getting financing and purchasing our first home. I had numerous questions and ideas of how to go about the whole process and he proved to be an excellent and trusted advisor educating me on why I should pursue certain financing methods over others. I enjoy being kept in the loop every step of the way and Chris never let me down; answering his phone no matter what time of day I called and often sending information that I needed over weekends from his home so that we could have it for open houses in case we wanted to make an offer. I would absolutley use Chris' services again and recommend him to anyone who is thinking about securing financing for purchasing property; he is truly an expert in his field.

I was fortunate enough to have Christopher and the folks at Eagle Nationwide working on my mortgage in 2008. I was hard pressed for deadlines and the team worked quickly to complete paperwork, walked me through the process, and made it seem easy. During a stressful time, Chris' reassurance made all the difference. I've worked with other banks on the mortgage front and never received the type of service that I was able to obtain with Chris' team. While thinking about re-financing, Chris has been there to educate me on different money saving options. I would absolutely recommend him to my friends and acquaintances
