This was my first home purchase and my husband's second - Russ made it incredibly easy, answered all of our questions and kept us informed each and every day. He provided exceptional service and we could not have been happier working with him.

Communication. Available throughout day and in evenings (when we were not working). Proactively reached out. Help us manage remote closing.

My interest rate was reduced

Russ's patience, professionalism, and responsiveness to all our questions.

Russ was knowledgeable, always willing to help, organized, and prompt. He made the process so easy for us by guiding us through. Closing was a breeze, because we already knew what was coming!

My wife and I were first time homeowners and had many questions about the process, timeline and (of course) financials. Russ was easily and readily accessible at a moment’s notice and provided detailed responses to our many questions. He made us feel comfortable through every step of the process. I couldn't have imagined dealing with the lender being so easy, but working with Russ was by far the most refreshing part of the home purchase process. Would recommend him to anyone!

As always, Russ was beyond helpful, quick to respond, and clearly communicated and explained everything to us. He is simply the best!

Communication was excellent, no better lender in my mind, recommending to everyone I know.

I highly recommend Russ for your loan needs. He is very responsive and professional. I have zero complaints. Will definitely use in the future.

Russ provided excellent advise throughout the entire process of purchasing our home. We had a few non-standard issues to work through that Russ was quick to provide us expertise on. Russ always responded very quickly and delivered information and documents to us on time. It was a pleasure working with Russ - it was a stress-free homebuying experience for us, which isn't always the case. Thanks again, Russ!

Russ was very knowledgeable and he walked my husband and I through the whole process from beginning to end. He help us to find a way to make our mortgage work for us.

Russ Rockwell embodies the type of person you want to work with when it comes to complicated tasks like securing a home loan. Throughout our entire experience, Russ was kind, knowledgeable, accommodating, and got the job done like a pro. The only downside is the nature of how rarely a customer is able to work with him in their life. He made a daunting task a walk in the park, and Republic State Mortgage is lucky to have him. The next time we decide to purchase a home, he'll be the first call.

Russ is extremely knowledgeable and responsive!

This is our 3rd time using Russ and he’s so good we didn’t even consider getting a 2nd opinion as the level of service he provides is priceless. We cannot recommend him enough.

We had a very smooth experience with Russ. He was always fast, clear, and thorough in answering questions. Really loved how well the process went and would definitely work with him again, with zero doubt.

We had a wonderful experience with Russ Rockwell. He is knowledgeable and very professional. He was with us every step of the loan. It all went smooth. We were able to close on the date originally projected. We were able to buy our dream home!.

Very helpful and professional, Great Experience

Russ always answered our questions promptly and made the whole process very easy!

Russ is honest and straightforward. I enjoy working with him. I tell my friends to contact him when I hear them talking about looking into loans. He was slow and thorough and guided us at every step when we were looking into purchasing our home and quick to contact us when an opportunity to refinance at a lower rate was available. Great person.

Russ is so easy to work with. He kept us informed and updated along the way. Russ is TOP NOTCH!

Russ was upfront and honest and helped us throughout the entire process. I’ve already referred him to friends.

Russ was an absolute pleasure to work with, very prompt and professional!

Getting a mortgage is a headache. Paperwork and paperwork upon more paperwork. Add to it that my wife and I were doing this remotely from Cleveland, OH trying to move to Houston, TX during the pandemic. Russ Rockwell made this all happen for us. He communicated effectively and quickly. Happy to report we closed on our house and we cannot wait to move to Texas. Thank you, Russ.

I cannot praise the service that Russ Rockwell gave us highly enough. He was extremely responsive to every question we asked. He inspired extreme confidence that he had everything covered and that made the whole process very easy. We will look nowhere else for future mortgage help. He was recommended to us and we will recommend his services to anyone who asks.

I wanted to take a minute and email you regarding the closing from last week. I just wanted to let you know that I am in love with the e-signature closings. It saved me time at the closing table and money because of less documents to print. As busy as everyone is lately, e-signature closings are the way to go. We print mounds & mounds of documents for closings daily. Most average around 150 pages. I printed 60ish pages for this closing. When we are back to back in closings daily, a closing package with 60 pages saves us time in the closing room. Between that and the awesome, quick funding on the file, it was a win-win.

Thanks for making a quick & smooth closing! I hope all lenders take the e-signature closing route soon!!!! 😊
