So pleased with the service we received from Sharon. She was knowledgeable, fast and communicated with us through out the entire transaction. There were times when we got anxious and doubtful but Sharon kept us on the right path with providing estimated times for each step. There is no doubt that Sharon will be our go to lender for any future purchases.

Sharon was amazing, I had sent emails after work at 10pm and I had a response in my inbox 8am the next morning. She was responsive and answered every question imaginable I had given this was my first time purchasing a home. It couldn’t have been an easier process and I was able to close in 3 weeks.

Sharon was absolutely amazing to work with. She is always on the ball with everything that is needed. She understands what it takes to get you to the closing table. She treats you like family and is always available. I have always used Sharon for all of my lending needs and she is the one I refer anyone to when they are buying a home. Both of my children have also used Sharon for their lending needs.
Her years of experience in real estate and mortgage lending just can’t be matched. Bank South is a fantastic bank top to bottom.
If you are looking for someone to make you home buying experience one to remember then call Sharon Simons today!
