Mortgage Lender Testimonials

"We moved to Grand Rapids from the Twin Cities with our two boys in search of a more relaxed lifestyle. We chose Deerwood Bank for our home mortgage because we like the small town, small bank feel. Deerwood Bank fulfilled everything they promised, and kept our mortgage local. They were personable, trustworthy and told us what to expect every step of the way."

Andy Shermoen, a Grand Rapids
homeowner and new Deerwood
Bank customer.

"The turnaround time for our refinance was unbelievable. The staff at Deerwood Bank was so easy to work with and they were always looking out for our best interest. Even the president of the company went out of his way to meet with us. It made me feel really good about our decision to refinance our home with Deerwood Bank."

"We've moved three times in the last eight years with the help of Deerwood Bank. They were always very responsive to our questions, returning our e-mails and phone calls even after hours. All of our loans stayed local, they never got farmed out. It’s small town banking with the benefits of a big bank."

Rachel Kerr, Deerwood Bank customer who has financed homes in Brainerd, Deerwood and Cohasset.

"When we found a gorgeous house in an amazing neighborhood within our price range, it was a dream come true. It was a foreclosure turned fixer-upper and we looked forward to redesigning the kitchen and bathrooms. However, when it came time to get a home loan, we had a very difficult time getting approved because of the condition of the house. After getting in touch with Deerwood Bank, all of our stresses were gone. They were thorough, reliable and available whenever we had a question. The personalized service and attention we received at Deerwood Bank was outstanding."
