He is hardworking, passionate about his job, knowledgeable, honest and caring. Even though we didn’t buy a very expensive home, he treated us like a top priority. I was talked into choosing a local bank over Rocket Mortgage by a realtor and family. I initially tried First Commonwealth bank and had a TERRIBLE experience. They lost me a 15,000 grant and the home I was suppose to close ok due to the loan officers incompetence. I found out a day before closing that closing was postponed. I wasted a weeks vacation that I took from work to move. Then after their mess up they made up lies about my credit report and tried to blame it on that. Defeated I almost bought an RV to live in with my family. I decided to try one last time and went back to Derek at Rocket. I just closed on my new home two days ago. The process was so easy and went smooth. I was supported by the team every step of the way. Derek even lent an ear to listen to my personal problems! He is ALWAYS working!! He deserves a raise and vacation! Anyway, being able to close so easily with Rocket showed me that First commonwealth lied to cover their mistake and their lie about my credit standing almost cost my family a home to call their own. Thank you Rocket Mortgage and especially Derek for making my dreams of being a homeowner a reality. I would recommend this bank to ANYONE. You can personally call me anytime if you have doubts! Derek has my number! Don’t believe the lie that local banks are better!"
