This is the second mortgage in a row that I have used Stuart Smith. That in itself should speak volumes. Specifically, the closings were very fast and painless. Stuarts knowledge has a lot to do with this. He can answer all the questions, so you are aware of exactly what you are signing at the closing. He sincerely cares about his clients. You do not often see that in this business. I can call Stuart any time of the day, seven days a week. He always got back to me promptly. I was introduced to Stuart a few years ago by a friend who is the President of very large national home builder. I had asked him if he knew a really great mortgage person. Without any hesitation, he stated, "Stuart Smith....by far the best in the business"! He was correct!!!!!

Stuart Smith is ....and always will be our loan officer. He is absolutely FANTASTIC!!!! In addition to being extremely knowledgeable about everything associated with mortgages, he is also a really nice guy! The mortgage process was very smooth. Thanks to Stuart of course! He was there to "hold our hand" through every twist and turn. I would think most people are like me when it comes to mortgages. I had a hundred questions. Stuart answered everyone of them. But more importantly, he always responded with in minutes!!!!!.....7 days a week, day and night! Our gratitude for Stuart is unsurpassed!!!!!

My experience with Stuart was truly an amazing experience. Buying my first house was extremely nerve wrecking but Stuart helped and reassured me throughout the entire process. You can truly tell that he cares for others and his honesty and integrity make him stand out from other lenders that I have spoke with before him. I will definitely recommend him to friends and family for future purchases. You will not be disappointed!

Our experience with Bank South was great. More specifically, from start to finish Stuart provided first class white glove service and partnership to help our experience exceptional. He helped us navigate a difficult mortgage rate market and we were able secure a great rate. He was always available when we needed him or had questions and when unexpected challenges arose he counseled us and advocated for us. He was amazing and Bank South is fortunate to have him on the team. Thanks Stuart Saunders and the Bank South team! The Dorsey Family are raving fans.

Great company to work with! I got all the information I wanted (Stuart was super patient) and I was able to make the decisions and choose the condition that better fit my goals. Then came closing and it was a breeze. Even after closing, they helped find information and documents promptly.
