Home Loan With The Help Of Lisa Lewis
Over the years, and many home purchases, this past experience with fortress bank was easy, quick and painless as compared to previous experiences. Lisa lewis and sherry posey were wonderful, informative and educated on my out of state purchase. They were able to get me the best rate and Lisa answered my questions immediately via email and /or phone. She took extra time and effort to help me with questions that were probably out of her realm of responsibility but were accurate and much appreciated. I cannot say enough about the service I received and will always use Lisa lewis and fortress bank for all future investments and highly recommend her/them to all my friends
and family. She truly went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and closed on time
