 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience working with Rich. He was professional, responsive, and great to work with throughout the entire process. What really stood out to me was that Rich is a true problem solver. If anything ever comes up during a transaction, he’s quick to jump in, find a solution, and do whatever it takes to keep things moving forward. I really appreciate his communication, professionalism, and willingness to get the job done. I’d definitely work with Rich again and highly recommend him!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Anthony and his team were very helpful getting us approved for a home when other companies couldn't. We would still be in a rental if it wasn't for Flo Mortgage

Thank you!!!

If I could give Anthony Jones and the entire FLO Mortgage team more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.

My family and I had almost lost hope after working with multiple lenders and hearing “no” over and over again. We were discouraged and started believing that homeownership just wasn’t meant to happen for us.

Then Anthony and his team took over our loan, and everything changed.

What other lenders couldn’t accomplish in months, Anthony and the FLO Mortgage team accomplished in just 12 days. That still amazes me. Their knowledge, communication, dedication, and ability to solve problems turned what felt impossible into reality.

From day one, Anthony was honest, responsive, incredibly patient, and always willing to answer my many questions. Brenda and the rest of the team were equally amazing, keeping everything moving and making sure I understood each step of the process. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but they always made me feel informed, supported, and confident.

What impressed me most was that they never treated us like just another loan file. They treated us like a family with a dream worth fighting for. Every time an obstacle came up, they found a solution instead of giving up.

Because of Anthony, Brenda, and the entire FLO Mortgage team, my family is now proud homeowners. Receiving the keys to our very first home is a moment we’ll cherish forever, and we know it would not have been possible without their hard work, teamwork, and determination.

If you’re looking for a mortgage team that truly cares, communicates exceptionally well, and works relentlessly on your behalf, I wholeheartedly recommend Anthony Jones and FLO Mortgage. They didn’t just help us buy a house. They helped make a lifelong dream come true.

Thank you, Anthony, Brenda, and the entire FLO Mortgage team. May God continue to bless each of you as you help more families achieve the dream of homeownership. We will never forget what you did for our family. 🏡🔑❤️
