CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
HOME LOAN
If there is such thing as a “Gold Standard” of Loan Officer’s, Jodie Johnson would be at the top of the list. Her knowledge of the industry rules and regulations made me feel extremely comfortable, and she was consistently responsive to the excessive amount of questions I asked. Most importantly she made the purchase of a house, which I now call home, pleasant and painless. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a home loan or refinance.

REFINANCE
After many months of consideration, I inquired about refinancing my house through SMB&T. I met Jodie Johnson as a Loan Officer (Lender) and began the loan process. She was forthright with information I had requested and made the loan process as seamless and straightforward as possible. Jodie responded to correspondence in a timely fashion. Jodie was well prepared and a commensurate professional throughout the whole loan process. With Jodie's help, my monthly loan payment was reduced by almost three hundred dollars.
