“
UFIG led the underwriting, structure, and negotiations on our $46,500,000 refinance and expansion loan, ensuring a smooth close and positive experience for all parties involved. I would absolutely recommend UFIG based on their capabilities, professionalism, and successful track record in hotel and resort finance.
“
Thanks to her strategic support and thoughtful guidance, we secured a great rate and received the best deal possible. What really stood out to us was how seamless she made the entire process for us. Her communication efforts, outreach and organization are unmatched!
“
She fought for us every step of the way, addressing every concern and obstacle with poise and professionalism. I’d give Melinda a rating of 10 out of 5 stars. She’s top-notch, and her services are worth every penny.
“
There were multiple points where the deal could have easily fallen apart, but Mandy never gave up. She fought for the deal like it was her own, and I can honestly say we wouldn’t have closed without her.
“
Zachary played a pivotal role in helping our company secure the SBA loan that was instrumental in our growth and expansion plans. His comprehensive knowledge of SBA loan programs, coupled with his meticulous attention to detail, made the application process seamless and efficient.
“
Mandy is very astute at garnering the client financials and structuring the underwriting package to ensure a streamlined process. Our clients have always provided extremely positive feedback, for which we are in turn greatly appreciative to Mandy.
“
James Lunger is a miracle worker! For the first time, I never had to call and check on status β€” they always called me first. He closed my loan in a swift, upmost professional manner!!! I would ONLY use James Lunger for any more commercial loans!
“
Mandy single-handedly saved my property from beginning an expensive foreclosure process. I can’t recommend her enough.
“
The entire UFIG team helped give us the confidence to pursue our dream, and gave us the tools and assistance necessary to turn that dream into our 32-room reality. Thank you to everyone at UFIG for keeping the American dream alive!
“
I can say with 100% certainty that it could not have been possible without Mandy’s hard work and perseverance.
“
Her communication and availability are second to none. She keeps me up to date on the status of loans at all times without me having to call her β€” from start to close, there was never any gray area.
“
Our dealings with UFIG in closing our commercial property mortgage were nothing short of spectacular β€” no beating around the bush, no waiting days for returned calls, just plain, honest dealings in the mortgage industry.
“
United Financial Insurance Group has provided us with amazing financing solutions consistently. UFIG has always gone above and beyond to understand our needs. You guys have an amazing team!!!
“
Your ability to shop the nation to provide me with lender choices was a real asset in this process. Please don’t hesitate to use my name as a reference β€” you were most professional and I would recommend you highly.
“
We had a loan commitment within 2 weeks and an appraisal within another 2 weeks. The loan terms were even better than initially quoted.
“
Your organization is truly head above any other financing company I have ever been in contact with in the last three years, hands down.
“
They clearly did what they said they were going to do β€” they shopped multiple routes and found us the best possible loan, and now I am the new owner of a commercial property.
“
Because of your experience and network of relationships, we have been able to close loans for our clients in this tough economic environment. Be assured we will continue to bring deals to the table with the confidence that UFIG can deliver.
“
The determined and persistent professionalism was instrumental in getting this loan to closing. Your professionalism and determination is key in our field of work.
“
Both Mandy and James were very responsive and diligent in the processing of my loan and they stayed on top of everything throughout the entire loan process.
“
Throughout the entire process, from the initial conversation to post-closing, I found Melinda to be extremely responsive, knowledgeable, and pleasant to interact with.
“
They clearly did what they said they were going to do and earned their fee without a doubt. I would highly recommend them to any interested party.
“
We credit Ms. Widdick for this success and heartily recommend those seeking SBA or other types of purchase and re-financing of commercial loans to seek them out.
“
Her dedication and professionalism throughout the month-long process will not be forgotten. I strongly recommend Mandy and the UFIG team for anyone looking to secure financing for a project.
“
Your experience and professionalism proved to be a valuable resource in navigating the underwriting process. We look forward to partnering with you again soon.
“
I urge you to carefully consider UFIG, who made my transaction very simple and successful. They have my highest recommendation.
“
I would recommend this company to all my friends and family who are looking for a loan to acquire any property. I am going to use this company for future projects.
“
I am most certain that this SBA Loan closing was unprecedented. On behalf of TEK Group International, our employees, and my family β€” I extend my sincere appreciation to all.
