The Penland Team - Fairway Home Mortgage
The Penland Team - Fairway Home Mortgage is a mortgage lender at 3001 Joe Dimaggio Blvd in Round Rock, so it funds loans itself rather than acting as a broker. Its website is a Fairway Home Mortgage loan officer profile for Josh Penland, which lists him as serving Round Rock and surrounding areas. Reviewers include first-time buyers, a newly self-employed buyer who was approved for a conventional loan, an out-of-state buyer relocating to the Austin area and a Realtor who works with the team.
What people praise
- Every one of its Google ratings is five stars
- A first-time buyer who is newly self-employed said the team took time to understand their employment history
- A Realtor said the team explains unusual financing situations clearly
- Reviewers repeatedly mention proactive communication and knowing where the loan stands
Worth knowing
- It is a lender rather than a broker, so it offers Fairway products rather than shopping the whole market
- Office hours on Google run Monday to Friday
Our take: The largest review base on the page and every rating a five. Choose it if you want one lender handling the loan from application to closing, and still compare its written estimate with a broker's.
