Client Testimonials: 

Brian

I almost don’t want to post some of the things that make Jodee so great because I don’t want to encourage her future clients to be as needy as I was. Calls in the evenings or weekends. Questions on a holiday weekend that only remotely related to our future mortgage. She fielded all of it with patience, grace, knowledge and professionalism. We weren’t a significant risk, but hit a roadblock with another lender who couldn’t find a way to make it happen. Jodee shrugged off that obstacle by simply saying: no problem, I’ve already applied for an exception for you and it’s been approved. When the other lender heard her path forward and the rate we got, they said: you’ve found a fabulous loan officer, congrats on your house! Jodee was just the best and even got us to close 3 days earlier than our contract with less than 24 hours heads up to help our seller fund their next purchase with the proceeds from our sale. Bottom line: she’s won our loyalty and recommendation forever.

Wow where do I begin! Jodee was referred to me by a colleague who purchased a home and she had nothing but great things to say about her.

I contacted Jodee to see what I needed to do to purchase my first home since I was tired of renting. She ran my credit and gave me several suggestions. She did not give up on me like a previous company did (RP Funding) she kept in contact with me until I had everything that I needed to qualify for a mortgage. Once I qualified, she worked effortlessly with my Realtor and she helped me with the purchase of my first home! She is now helping one of my daughters to find HER home!

She is sweet, bubbly, incredibly knowledgeable, great communicator and does a great job at putting your mind at ease throughout the process because it can be overwhelming at times. I highly recommend her!!!! You will not regret it rather you will feel like your family just grew! God bless you Jodee, thank you for all that you do. You TRULY GO OUT OF YOUR WAY!!!!

 

 

 

 

Amit Desai

Easily the best person I’ve worked with for mortgage rates. She walked me through the whole process, patiently answering my numerous questions. She got me the best rate I could find, worked with me for closing dates, and made the whole project a breeze. Couldn’t be happier with her and I highly recommend her!

 

 

Michaela Morrison

After "shopping" around for Lenders, it wasn't until I spoke with Jodee that I immediately knew this is who we are using! We had a brief introduction conversation over the phone and it felt like I knew her forever! She was so easy and comfortable to talk to and was always available, no matter the day or time. She made our entire process a smooth one with her helpful guidance along the way. If you're looking for a Lender who is very knowledgeable, easy to speak to and will work around the clock to get the job done, Jodee is it!!

 

 

Yaphet Tilahun

Jodee is so great. I've dealt with a significantly larger bank in the past, and communication has always been a problem. When I got this recommendation about refinancing, I knew she was the right person to work with immediately. She communicated extremely well and was very accommodating to my hectic schedule. Give her a call, she'll take good care of you.

Thanks to Jodee for making our refinancing a simple, stress-free process.

Lisa Lee Winland

I am a Realtor, and I chose Jodee Dillon to do my own pets home loan because she makes the transaction easy and seamless. She is supported by an excellent loan processing and underwriting team that does what they say without any surprise requests at the end of the process. They get the cd to the title company days BEFORE closing which is unheard of in most cases. I can’t recommend this lender enough.

 

 

Casey Wilson

Working with Jodee has been a pleasure. She is a wonderful communicator and does a fabulous job of explaining the loan process. While purchasing our land we always felt informed and received updates as information became available. We look forward to continuing on with Jodee as we begin the next step...a construction loan! Thank you Jodee!! You are amazing!

 

Sandy Harris

Jodee was a pleasure to work with, she guided us through ever step of the loan process.I would highly recommend her for your next loan!!

 

Nichole Williams

I haven’t closed yet, actually am still just in the pre approval stages, but I was having a poor experience with another lender (no communication, not so eager to help) so I reached out to a realtor and he referred me to Jodee. Before I could call her, she called me, and I felt like I was talking to an old friend and the communication is excellent and I genuinely feel she is as excited to help me buy my first home. First impressions are everything and I know I definitely have found the right fit which is why I just had to leave a review. Will recommend to all my friends looking to buy a home in Florida!

 

 

Andrea Parra

LOOK NO FURTHER! Hands down the absolute BEST lender. I am a Realtor, and have worked with many lenders. but I have never worked with someone that has a "If there is a will, there is a way" attitude, which was actually one of the first things Jodee said to me in our initial conversation. Most lenders will just let you know if you qualify, but Jodee takes the time to walk you through any/all the steps to take to make sure you have the best terms on your loan. She's easy to talk to and would answer my phone calls after hours and on the weekends. I highly recommend Jodee Dillon!

 

 

Mark Southerland

Jodee is quite special. It was clear throughout the loan process Jodee is extremely customer-oriented and meticulous and precise in her communications. This is my ninth cross country move, and Jodee is straight up the best loan officer I’ve worked with. She also went out of her way to help us with some home search hurdles along the way. Jodee made the “process” fun and I hope to be a friend to her for the long haul. She’s a Six Star performer!

 

 

Sunjida Alam

She’s very professional and it was great experience to work with her on our land and house purchases. Definitely looking forward to doing our next transaction with her!

 

Joshua Demeke

Jodee was very helpful and knowledgable when it comes to her area of expertise. Great customer service and I'm glad I choose her team to work with!

 

 

Brenda Ferrandes

Jodee is an amazing mortgage lender. She helped us acquire a mortgage with Bell Bank and made the process seamless. She is extremely knowledgeable of the mortgage industry and can answer all of your questions without hesitation. Her customer service skills are impeccable and goes over and beyond her duty to serve you!!! She is in the experience with you. I would recommend her to anyone who is in the market for a mortgage for a home purchase or refinance. Give her a call! You will be happy you did!!!!!

 

 

carly meckle

Jodee is the most amazing lender you will ever find! If you don't use her you are missing out not only on her impeccable knowledge but on her wonderful personality and willingness to go above and beyond for her clients. She did our mortgage a few years ago after the lender we started with had us sell our home then told us he couldn't get us a new mortgage. Thankfully someone recommended Jodee she was our saving angel. Her knowledge of mortgages and lending far surpassed my expectations. She was always there to calm my fears and answer all my question. This year she blew me away with her work ethic while we re-financed our home. If your looking to re-fiance your home or get into a home, look no further Jodee is the best in the business!!! Thank you Jodee for everything you do, you are truly amazing:)

 

 

Melissa Petiot

Jodee is absolutely AMAZING!!! She walked us through the process of selling a home and buying a new home. She made this process so simple, stress free and the information that she provided is absolutely priceless. Not even other realtors or lenders have a clue in regards to the information Jodee provided to help us save money. I truly hope her company appreciates how hard she works for her client’s and ensures they have a phenomenal experience during their home buying process. Thank you for always staying by our side and we will definitely use you again in the future!

 

Cheryl Rhaburn

Jodee is such an amazing person to work with. She is very knowledgeable with the market and dedicated with her clients. I can literally pick up the phone and speak with her directly. I never really got that one of one service with other places. Did I mentioned that she helped my family closed in 30 days? I would highly recommend her to everyone! Thank you Jodee! We are loving our new home.

 

 

Glen Simons

Jodee was an amazing mortgage professional! If you want your lender to respond within minutes of all your questions and needs then she is your person. When a situation occurred that I was concerned about she was their to support and guide me to bring my concern to a outstanding conclusion. She was more of a partner in this transaction.

 

 

Jennifer Shirreffs

Jodee was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful! Not only were we buying our first home but we were having a custom builder build it. She made the process super easy to understand and didn’t use language the normal person cannot understand! My husband and I never had to figure things out on our own. She made sure we knew exactly what was happening along with what was coming next! We were never in the dark! She made sure we were ready to close before the builder was which took a lot of stress and guesswork out of the equation. Valentine’s Day will be extra special going forward because of all her hard work to close early! I’ve talked to many friends and associates that have bought homes and she’s definitely the “BEST” in the business! The process was smooth, fun, exciting and enjoyable!

 

Cherie Avera

Jodee went above and beyond to make the buying experience pleasant. From my first inquiry, she was positive, reassuring, and worked quickly to help me submit offers and understand the paperwork. Every single Interaction with Jodee was positive. If I buy again, I’ll absolutely be calling Jodee Dillon!

 

 

Lynn Tierney

We are so appreciative of the professional and knowledgeable handling of the process. We were fully prepared to spend a stressful and anxiety-filled stretch of time worrying about this decision, but Jodee made it calm and efficient through her amazing patience, productive communication, and superpower organizational skills! We will absolutely utilize Jodee's expertise again and recommend her to anyone looking to have a successful experience!

 

 

Sharon Napier

Jodee is dynamite!!! I highly recommend her to help you buy your dream house. She is professional, efficient, very knowledgeable, and SO easy to work with! She is a Senior Mortgage Banker and her experience shows. I would seek her assistance again, AND HAVE, as she has helped me purchase two homes which says a lot.

She found the best loan options, helped me keep the excellent interest rate when the sellers bogged down the short sale (ugh!) and it dragged on and on (I know, right?), and was so supportive and encouraging when I wasn't sure the sale was actually ever going to happen, because she knew the process. Experience matters.

Go Jodee!!! We couldn't have a better home in which to quarantine!
Very happy. Thank you!

 

Al Diercks

Jodee was on top of things from the first minute we talked until closing. It was the best refinancing experience possible. I highly recommend her and Bell Bank.

 

J Hsia

We cannot recommend Jodee Dillon highly enough. She is the only mortgage broker/loan officer we want to work with. She was the top recommendation from our realtor, and from the initial phone call to post closing, she exceeded all expectations and service from those we have worked with in the past. Jodee is warm, dedicated, extremely organized, knowledgeable, responsive, diligent, patient, and goes the unexpected extra mile for her clients. When we started applying for our mortgage she carefully looked at our records and offered specific tips on how to improve our credit scores. And she made sure we were on track with documents, and gave us advice on getting the best mortgage for our needs. During the final days before closing when the title company chosen by the seller was completely unprofessional and unprepared, Jodee worked with our realtor to push the title company back on track, involving a manager there, so that we could close on time. This title company kept switching representatives on us, were slow to respond, and delayed ordering the survey. On the day of closing, we were not notified of the closing time until noon that day for one scheduled at 2:30pm, nor did we see the final numbers until we were at the closing table! Jodee was so concerned by their lack of professionalism, she called me and asked if we'd like her to be present at the closing via FaceTime to make sure all was okay. With her there to guard our corner, she found errors on their settlement sheet calculations and called them out to be corrected. Because of their incompetency, it took 2 hrs and 45 minutes from entering the closing room till we left and Jodee was available the entire time to make sure everything was done properly. She also sent us promised documents after closing and touched base with us afterwards. We have been so blessed and grateful to work with her and will wholeheartedly recommend her to all our friends. Thank you, Jodee!

Jodee not only was an amazing lender, but so personable! She made our construction loan process such a breeze. This is something I’ve dreamed of and thought it would be something that would have to happen years down the road. She made it possible to make our dreams come true! If you are looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable lender, please reach out to her!

Jade J

JODEE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Also huge plus: We got approved for our loan ENTIRELY ONLINE. My partner and I were searching for our first home for over a year. Being a first time home buyer- the entire lending/buying process was confusing. We actually went to a few different lenders and got pre-approved with them all. But Jodee was with us every step of the way. It was never hard to get a hold of her. (Other lenders NEVER answered their phones.) She answers all her text and emails promptly. And was always available to have phone conversations. She gave many options that can change our interest rate and/or monthly payments. She was so thorough and never missed a beat! I honestly can't imagine going through this process without her. And if I ever need a loan again. I will absolutely be reaching out to her again.

Also in the time of COVID-19 and prior to that -just my busy life. I can't tell you how much I appreciate not having to go to a physical place to get approved for the loan. We closed on the house a few days ago and are officially living in it. And we did everything online. My only wish is that I could give Jodee a hug to thank her for everything! Thank you!

 

Sirfrancis Mckinnon

Jodee is the best! Thorough and patient, wise and stern. She has been my go to person for years! She is a remarkable asset to your organization!
