We came to Southern Trust and Courtland because we were working with another lender and found out second hand that our loan officer left the company but failed to let us know. Our relator recommended Courtland as a man who had a good reputation at getting things done on time. When we first spoke with Courtland, our emphasis was getting to closing in 30 days on our new construction. The only thing Courtland promised was that he would give us his best and he would do everything possible to make the 30 day closing, but he said he'd try. Since we were already preapproved and had all of our loan docs in a zip file, we signed on with Courtland and away we went. As we were looking to close in 30 days, we knew that it was going to be a last minute thing in getting to the finish line. Well, little did we know of the fortitude and determination of Courtland who had us submitted to and approved by underwriting and we had two weeks to spare. If you're looking to work with a dedicated professional who will give you his all, Courtland is your guy. Go with Southern Trust and more importantly, Courtland Parnell. Thanks again Courtland for such a great job!!!
