I built/bought amy own home for the first time in over 20 years. Tony and the team walked me through every step of the way. It was a little shaky when the interest rates continued to rise. They answered questions and helped me to secure the best interest rate and made sure I was able to buy the home at and affordable payment. I am so happy in my home and appreciate all of the time and dedication the team gave to me to help me buy my home. Kristy

It was a pleasure working with Whitney Brown at groundwork mortgage. I really liked her responsiveness to my questions even outside office hours. She along with the team (Tom) worked hard to get my mortgage rate down just before closing. But what I liked about them is they always kept me honest about everything that was going on and I really value that a lot. Thank you and would recommend to talk to Ms Brown before you commit on your loan.

The level of service I received from start to finish was exceptional. The day before close I noticed a mistake, unfavorable to me, in my cash to close amount. When brought to their attention, they recognized my honesty by reducing my loan interest rate! This was totally unexpected and so appreciated.

Prior to finding Groundwork Mortgage, I worked with another mortgage company that totally mislead me and my wife so it made it very difficult to trust another company to go through this process. However that all changed when I had the honor of working with Brett Greble! Brett was amazing! He was transparent from the very beginning and he was a man of his word. He never made me that I was being a nuisance and answered all my questions and made me feel like a valued customer. I am so grateful to Brett and Groundwork Mortgage for their help and putting my family in a new home. Highly Highly recommend Groundwork Mortgage and Brett Greble! You can’t go wrong!

My loan officer Nick Johnston and his team member Monica were very friendly, hardworking, and got my loan processed very smoothly. I would recommend Groundwork Mortgage to anyone who is looking for high level of customer satisfaction with low mortgage cost (closing cost). I did receive happy customer experience. They are also an expert in new construction, so I highly recommend Nick and Groundwork Mortgage.

We used Groundwork Mortgage twice, for our new home loan & refinance of the loan a few years after. Nick Johnson & Tony Grafals were fantastic to work with and made the whole process easy & seamless. Very responsive to all of our questions. We would recommend them to anyone who needs a mortgage.

Have been using Groundwork Mortgage for a long time now! The team is outstanding and knows what they are doing when it comes to purchase or refinance. Recently used Tony for my refinance and I can say, they take a good care of you no matter what your business is. Lastly, thank you to Jonathan who I started working with him several years ago. His sales team is the best, it’s hard to find any LO or mortgage broker that knows their product that good and take a good care of their clients! Thank you team!

Thank you, Groundwork Mortgage! But, the biggest thank you goes out to Tony, and his team! You guys did it again! Five years ago I had my first home built, and now in Jan. 2022 I’m back with this awesome team to refinance . Tony and the team provided excellent communication, regarding best interest rate, paperwork needed, and closing timeline that made this transition smooth. Thanks guys!

My husband and I worked with Tony Grafals, he is the BEST!!! The entire process was smooth from beginning to end each time that we have worked with him. We met Tony 7 years ago with the purchase of our new construction home and we gladly reached out to him again for our refinance. The best hands down!!

My wife and I used Groundwork Mortgage to help us refinance our home. From the first call to the closing table, their personal service, attention to detail, and responsiveness were exceptional. I have purchased and refinanced many homes in the past 40 years, and this was by far the best experience I had.

Groundwork Mortgage really went to bat for me and my wife – especially Jonathan Pickens. He streamlined the entire process, found a lender, and helped to obtain the lowest interest rate possible for the building of our new home. Jonathan’s communication skills are outstanding as he kept us informed and updated all along the way. Great work Groundwork Mortgage!

Groundwork worked with us from day one to obtain our new home. Everything went very smooth and to be honest it has been my best experience buyong a home this far. Jonathan and Brett took excellent care of us and we’re very respectful and responsive. They also got us in touch with Alex who was able to secure homeowner insurance and he was great to work with as well. All around great experience. Steve.

I couldn’t recommend groundwork’s enough. Jonathan was amazing to work with. The process was smooth and professional. My question we’re always immediately answered and the team at groundwork’s put my VA loan together on my new build and got us our home. Iv used other mortgage companies for previous homes in the past and I’m glad I went with groundwork’s for my build and they now have my business forever. If your looking for a great mortgage company groundwork’s should be your choice. If I could I would give 10 stars.

This was our first time using Groundwork and the experience was exceptional! Our Kansas City contact Brett guided us every step of the way, ensured we had all documents submitted on time, answered all of our questions, and called regularly just to check in. We really appreciated all the hard work to ensure we found the best mortgage to meet our needs.If you are looking for a fabulous mortgage experience, I definitely recommend Groundwork!

Purchasing a home in the middle of a pandemic is very stressful, however Groundwork Mortgage conducted business is a very easy and professional manner. They helped us through the tire process and eased our fears. I would definitely use them if we ever purchase another new home.

Groundwork was fantastic to work with when purchasing my new McBride home. As a first-time homebuyer I had endless questions about the process, financing, insurance, closing and so much more. Jackson, who I worked with, was so patient with my constant barrage of questions and emails, incredibly responsive every time I reached out to him (even with questions after closing), and made sure I felt informed and comfortable with every decision I made during the lending process. I can’t speak highly enough of the personal touches that really went a long way in making me feel understood and informed from the moment of our first phone call.
