My office (and home) is in Floresville, Texas. When I joined Southwest Funding, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. My experience as a branch with my previous Mortgage Bank was very "different" to say the least. I am so pleased to have the option of being able to go banker or broker, and, thereby, offering the best mortgage choices to my clients. Southwest Funding's entire staff is on board to help me and my office staff with any and all situations. They are always friendly and helpful any time I have called upon any of them with questions or requests for assistance. I value my relationship with the Southwest Funding name because it represents a company with core principles and moral values that go beyond what is normally expected. I feel totally comfortable and at home in my relationship with Southwest Funding
I am so pleased I partnered with Southwest Funding. I have experienced a world class difference is service support from the operations team then anywhere I have been in the last 20 years.
From submission to underwriting and doc prep, the service has been nothing short of successful. The ability to call and speak to an underwriter on a file, plus the fact they call me to discuss a file is so refreshing that it is even visible to my referral partners. Joining Southwest Funding was the best decision I have made in choosing the right lender to partner with, and now because of it, my production is growing even more!

Southwest Funding is hands down the best mortgage retail branch in the business. I really do not know where I would be if I did not have that extra help from our corporate office on payroll and compliance issues, which allows me to manage my branch and help with originating and placing loans which in turn benefits all!
