At first I wasn’t sure if I was ready to buy a house. It seemed too complicated and I didn’t think it was the right time. Thankfully, Justin Lackey helped me through the process step by step the entire time. He was very patient and dedicated to customer satisfaction. I am now a proud homeowner thanks to Mr. Lackey and USA mortgage and do not regret it one bit. If you are in search of a home loan, I highly recommend going through him (or anyone else at USA Mortgage for that matter). Everyone there is highly professional and easy to work with.read more

We recently purchased a new home and worked with Patricia Bonuchi. She was great to work with! She made us feel comfortable in asking any questions we had. She went above and beyond for us coming to our work or home to get things signed or to have a quick meeting with us to explain the process. Patricia is knowledgeable, helpful and efficient. She was an invaluable asset to our home buying process. Go see Patricia!read more

All I have to say is that Michael with USA Morgage is someone I will go to for future home buying opportunities. He was able to look at our situation, access the options, give us advice and move forward with loan processing. Michael made the process simpler than I would have believed it could be. If something comes up and you question him about it, he is open, honest and gives you the information directly needed to access all aspects.
Because of Michael's skill, I can be proud to own a home before I graduate college! Something I never thought would be a reality.
I would recommend Michael and his team to anyone looking to buy a house, whether it is their first or seventh home buying experience.read more

I was purchasing an HUD home so the process was confusing. However, Casey walked me through it and helped me find the right loan for what I wanted. Other lenders would not even try to obtain a loan for this type of property. He communicated well and if an email was sent, he followed up with a text to let me know I had something to sign or complete. He was also willing to answer my many questions to make sure I understood what I was doing.read more

The USA Mortgage branch based in Columbia, MO is a very straight forward and professional company. Working with them has been easy and pleasant. Their rates are very competitive, and they have been very willing to share and discuss all the aspects of the mortgage experience.
On our new house we have to have mortgage insurance. Other companies never mentioned to me that you can "buy out" of that fee for much less money than paying monthly payments on it. This was brought to my attention by USA Mortgage and will save us thousands of dollars. This is just one specific example of how USA Mortgage is an excellent company. I would highly recommend to anybody buying a house to see what USA Mortgage has to offer.read more
