Hear From Our Mortgage Customers


Reassuring and Knowledgeable

We had an excellent experience with Rose! She was able to take over midway through the transaction and get us our keys! Without her help, we would not have closed and we would have been in such an incredibly terrible position at the end. She communicated well through the entire process, kept us in the loop with the next steps to take, was very reassuring and knowledgeable! We will be using her expertise again when it's time to purchase our next home in the future!

Excellent Communication

Absolutely outstanding! They are very accommodating and have excellent communication. We foolishly tried another lender first, that didn't work out but Gil and Amy got us on track in record time. They helped us out through a rather unique and stressful situation and we just can't recommend them enough!

A Joy to Work With

Joe was a joy to work with as a first-time home buyer! He was patient with all of my questions and broke things down in a way that was easy to understand. I would recommend anyone looking to buy a house to work with him!

An Absolute Pleasure to Work With

Rose was an absolute pleasure to work with in our home buying process. She answered every question that we had and made it all easy to understand as it was our first home that we have purchased. She is kind and thoughtful and we are so grateful for all of her help. We would love to work with her again in the future and would recommend her to any prospective buyers!

Helpful Over Our Two-Year Journey

Joe Thompson was extremely helpful during the two years my wife and I were shopping for houses. He went out of his way to figure out the best financing option. He's very knowledgeable and was available anytime we needed something. He made buying our first home as relaxing as it can be.

Honest and Transparent

Wonderful to work with! Joe was honest and transparent about the process. They kept me on track to quickly close my loan. Would definitely work with them again.

First-Time Homebuyer

We recently worked with Joe to acquire a home loan. He went above and beyond! He helped us compare rates through other lenders and was able to match the best rate we could find. This was our first time buying a house and Joe was patient and answered all of our questions, no matter how small. I felt more confident going into closing after working with Joe. He is friendly and makes himself readily available to fit your busy schedule. We highly recommend working with Joe and will definitely use him again if we move!

First-Time Homebuyer

Thank you so much Joe (Thompson)!! It has been an absolute pleasure working with you. I truly appreciate your patience in explaining how this all works and walking me through the entire process. You have made this so much less scary than it could have been as a first time buyer. You will 100% be receiving referrals from me as my family and friends need mortgage things. I can’t wait for Friday!!  -With the warmest regard, Mary

Happy Homeowner

We recently bought a house and highly recommend First Liberty Bank. Rose Martinez helped us from start till close and was there through every step of the process. She answered all of my questions and I could not be more grateful for her assistance!

Thankful for the Team

So thankful for the team that helped my parents buy a home in this challenging environment! We worked closely with Rose Martinez and she went above and beyond at every turn. She answered every question (and there were lots) thoroughly and promptly. We couldn't be more grateful for her guidance and advice throughout the process.

Fantastic Help

Bryan Pregler and his team of processors were fantastic in helping my son buy his first home in Oklahoma. I worked directly with him and his team and they are super knowledgeable in the Lending field. I worked with plenty of Lenders in the past and I will honestly say, First Liberty Mortgage is the best! They truly look out for their clients. Communication A+ overall experience A+. Thank you all!

Absolutely Amazing

Heather and team were absolutely amazing. I'm a first time home buyer so I was truly nervous about what to expect. Didn't help that I was going for a VA Loan as well, so I really thought that would complicate things. Heather got everything aligned for me from jump and kept me up to date on what to expect. I became super uneasy as mortgage rates made some dramatic changes, but Heather was able to still give us the details, work her magic, and get us in buying position. In short, I am beyond happy I had the chance to work with Heather and now, me and my family have a beautiful home to call our own.

First Time Home Buyers

My wife and I recently bought our first home, and First Liberty took care of our mortgage loan needs. Let me just say, Gil and Jo are ROCKSTARS! We faced some difficult hurdles during the process, but we got it done thanks to the team at First Liberty. We are so thankful for the job they did, and will ABSOLUTELY be repeat clients. I can’t speak highly enough about our experience. 10/10 would recommend to any and everyone who needs a service that they offer.

Moving from New York to OKC Made Easy

Working with Heather Howerton, at First Liberty Mortgage, has been a great experience and I would highly recommend using Heather and First Liberty for your mortgage needs! We moved to OKC from New York and Heather did an awesome job making the mortgage home loan processes easy for us to navigate. She was very receptive to our needs, would promptly respond to any questions that we had, and did a great job communicating / keeping us updated on the status of our mortgage loan throughout the whole process from start to finish. I have no doubt that you will have a great experience, as well, working with Heather Howerton at First Liberty Mortgage.

A Fast, Seamless Process

First Liberty, Gil Barteau and team, went above and beyond on getting my loan ready for closing. It was a fast, seamless process and they are a delight to work with. They followed up and stayed on top of everything to get it done and done right! I would highly recommend using them for any loan needs.

Phenomenal Service                                                                                                   

We would like to take a moment and let you both know how blown away we have been by the PHENOMENAL service that Heather Howerton provided us over the past several months.  We could tell from the moment we first spoke with Heather that she was an excellent choice for our family as we began the home buying process.  She far exceeded our expectations. We had never seen someone with such compassion and determination to help people until we met Heather.

The power of recognition in a job well done is energizing.  We would like to sincerely thank Heather for going above and beyond for us and congratulate you both on having such an outstanding employee in your company!

Brian and Melanie G.,  January 2021

 

You Continue to Amaze Me

I want to thank you both for everything you did to make my home purchase such a smooth one. Bryan (Preglar) you continue to amaze me with your responsiveness (even at night and weekends when I was in a pinch) and how quickly you were able to go from day 1 to full approvals and ready to close...having said that, I must also give credit on that last compliment to the fact that you had an absolutely talented, professional and clearly experienced processor, Stephanie. She was a joy to work with and I had literally zero duplicative requests, which I know from prior experience and other people's horror stories, that is rare.

I honestly can't say enough good things about you both and am happy to share with others if you ever need a reference or want me to write a formal review. Should I need another loan in the future, I will definitely call you!
