Mark Meussling
"We've run the entire gamut with Mark: a loan for a building site, a
construction loan, first and then second mortgages, plus refi's of both. Plenty
of snags and mini-crises along the way, as there always are with such complex
transactions involving so many players and so many rules.
But here's what has always sold us on Mark: whenever any roadblock pops up,
we don't have to become instant experts on the subject to keep things on track.
All we have to do is ring Mark and the issue always disappears before the start
of next day's business. Done badly, these deals can quickly take over your
life, but done well, they become a source of real financial strength and
flexibility. Mark has simply always delivered in this regard, simplifying our
lives and helping to secure our financial future. And that's why we keep coming
back to him again and again." Thomas P.M. Barnett - Contributing Editor, Esquire

"My wife and I have utilized Dianne Pierce's expertise for two mortgage
refinances and two home purchases over the years. We can always count on Dianne
to keep us updated on rate changes and to provide information. She has always
been very helpful and knows the business. We especially appreciate the fact that
she takes the time to explain, answer questions and follow through. We know who
to call for our future mortgage needs. She is on my speed dial!" Rob Stalf

Michelle Smekens
"Thank you, the return address labels are
great! The move is getting a little better, but
I really didn't pack a single thing until I
signed for the house. You can understand why I
didn't pack. Michelle, thank you isn't enough
for all that you have done for me, you believed
in me when I didn't. You stepped outside of
being my loan officer to become my friend. It
was a long process and you said we can get
through this. You never gave up on me, and your
confidence kept me moving forward. Everything
you said to do paid off in the end and the long
process was well worth it." Alice

Jaymi Sullivan
"I purchased a new home in the fall of 2009. We found the perfect home and the
perfect mortgage broker! Jaymi Sullivan worked thoroughly and efficiently to
close a difficult loan. This situation was difficult because we were purchasing
a home that was in foreclosure and therefore there were many challenges
affiliated with the closing. When one bank whom we thought was financing the
loan came up with a last minute unforeseen rule, she quickly hopped back into
motion and found us another way to work within our timeframe with a lower rate!
Jaymi’s follow up and professionalism is top notch. I would recommend her to
anyone needing a mortgage and would use her again myself!" Jane

Michael Eberhardt
"Mike has been an angel for us through this whole experience. We had a very
long "mountainly" road that we had to travel to get our mortgage. Without his
help and support every step of the way, I don't know how we would have made
it. Above all; one of the most important things that he did that really
impressed us was the fact that anytime we called him and I mean anytime; he
would call us right back. He didn't make us wait until he was in the office or
wait a couple of days. He made it seem like he really cared about us and how
important it was for us to close on our home. He kept us informed every step of
our application. Hallmark is very lucky to have such a caring mortgage
consultant like Mike. Thank you Mike for "ALL" that you did for our family!"

Home Mortgage and the experience was truly
pleasurable. Typically purchasing a home is very

step of the way. We felt like we were dealing

would highly recommend Hallmark to anyone I know
looking to purchase or refinance a home."
