Derek Jackson and the whole team are just absolutely fabulous! So kind and caring. We moved in from out of state and handled it all through phone and email. Ran into a few complications on our end and they problem solved like I've never seen before! They care about you, I didn't feel like just another sale! Derek got to know us and helped our family get into a home once we got to St Louis. Forever grateful for this team! Honestly words can't express how happy we feel about this team treating us like family. 100% recommend!

Everyone has been so helpful through out this entire process. I’m notorious for thinking of questions throughout the day and no matter the time, Derek or Tasha were always so prompt with an answer. Not only that, but they were also very thorough when it came to the answers to help me understand everything. I would definitely recommend this team!

Great to work with Gordon Barnhart and his team. They were communicative, worked at lightning speed, and always made themselves available. This was our first time buying a home and the whole process couldn't have been better.

The Sean Z Team did an outstanding job on our purchase and refinance. It was the smoothest loan process I have ever experienced. Megan Van De Boe my loan officer did an amazing job explaining everything to me. She was always available when I had questions. My processor Tasha made everything run seamlessly. She's Amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I 100% recommend using the Sean Z Team.

Derek and the Sean Z team did a fabulous job with the details surrounding the purchase of our house. They were very detailed and thorough in all approaches which is always a plus when dealing with mortgages etc. I recommend people continue to give them the opportunity to handle your mortgage needs as I don’t believe you’ll be disappointed. The Sean Z team showed up and showed out and will definitely get our business in the future.
