What customers are saying about The Chedester Team

local mortgage lender

Charlie is great to work with, extremely knowledgeable and explains everything perfectly. It's a stressful time and he is very trustworthy which makes it comforting knowing he "has your back" and wants you to get the best option for you and your family!

Sarah C.

local mortgage lender

Charlie was honest and approachable throughout the entire process. Our conversations were real, and at a level where we--as non-experts--could understand. We felt like he had our best interests in mind when preparing everything for our mortgage.

Megan S. & Wesley K.

local mortgage lender

Charlie made buying my first home a very smooth and easy process. He explained everything and was very thorough so I was an informed buyer. I would recommend him to anyone who is buying a home and wants an honest, friendly mortgage consultant."

Liz

local mortgage lender

"Charlie was very quick to respond to our questions as well as very prompt in sending us information and documents that needed to be completed. We also appreciated Charlie's explanation of terms and procedures we weren't familiar with as first time home buyers. He explained the process well and helped us understand each step along the way as well."

Brett R.

local mortgage lender

The biggest help was being able to handle the closing long distance. Even though I was 1000 miles away, everything was handled beautifully. Charlie did a great job for me and I’m sure to send referrals his way."

Judi S.

local mortgage lender

"Charlie was fantastic to work with. As someone who doesn't understand the lingo or the process as well, he really helped explain everything so I had a better understanding. He was very resourceful throughout the process and was especially helpful and flexible when it came to closing time. I will definitely be referring the Chedester Team to friends and family!"

Maggie M.

local mortgage lender

"I appreciated how easy the whole process was. From the time I contacted Charlie to when it was time to close on the house I felt like I was in good hands. He was always quick to respond to any questions I had and to explain in detail anything I didn't understand."

Jennifer H.

local mortgage lender

Charlie was very helpful through my entire purchase process. He's very personable and easy to talk to. He explained everything very clearly and answered all questions I had. He provided me with updates throughout the process and even checked in after closing to see how moving was going. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help with my first home purchase."

Louisa D.

Charlie was most helpful every step of the way. He was very personable and professional. I recommend him to everyone I can! This process was unlike the other botched deals we've experienced; thank you for making this painless!!!

Kelly G.

local mortgage lender

He was the mortgage broker for me and my wife on our first home that we moved into in July. He was great! We will be using him again when our family outgrows this house!"

Ben

local mortgage lender

Charlie explained everything really well, and didn’t talk down to us or over us. He also helped us figure out how much we should put down on the house, and what other loans we should payoff. He is a great communicator and very personable, but still very knowledgeable."

Nick L.

local mortgage lender

The service was outstanding as Charlie took the time to thoroughly explain the process, paperwork and answer our questions in full. He was prompt, efficient, thorough and committed 100% to get the loan closed quickly and accurately for us. He worked with all parties (the bank, insurance agency, realtors and law office) to ensure everything was completed and that all parties were on the same page.

Amy T.

local mortgage lender

Wow! Charles is an excellent mortgage originator. He calls you back right away and is trustworthy. Friendly, compassionate and treats everyone with respect and dignity. He truly is a terrific man to do business with! I have recommended him to several friends and family. And I wouldn't recommend him if I didn't think he has done a heck of a job!"

Heather

local mortgage lender

"We appreciated how simple the process was made by Charlie. Luckily we keep good records of things at home so when he needed certain paperwork we had it quickly. He knows what he's doing and makes it easy to understand the whole crazy stack of paperwork. We purchased our current house about a year ago and recently he contacted us about refinancing. We were able to drop our rate a full percentage point and now save $200/month. We were very happy that he monitors the market and contacted us because he knew he could improve our mortgage interest rate."

Scott & Hannah D

local mortgage lender

I had a lot of moving parts going on at the same time as this home purchase (sale of 2 rental properties and purchase of farm ground). Charlie listened to everything we had going, and integrated it all together to help us accomplish all our goals, not just the one he was participating in.

Jim R.

local mortgage lender

Charlie was wonderful getting us the best rate and advice on our mortgage. You can always expect him going the extra mile and sticks with, and keeps you informed during the process. I highly recommend him to family and friends."

Jane

local mortgage lender

I appreciate Charlie’s ability to talk through the process, answered our questions and provided additional guidance. He exceeded expectations around the financing and results of the closing. Charlie is easy to work with, very supportive and gives good directions."

Brent W.

local mortgage lender

"Speed and efficiency is what I appreciated the most. Everything was handled well and needs were communicated to me immediately. It was a really smooth process and a shining example of why I chose a local business over an online electronic lender."

Morgan S.

local mortgage lender

Charlie was great at communicating next steps to us (he has helped us over the course of 2 years get ready to purchase a home). He stuck with us to help us make it happen. We had a few closing date delays (none of them were caused by Midwest Family Lending) and he did everything he could possibly do to speed up the other parties so we could close ASAP and keep us from living on the streets!

Stetson O.

local mortgage lender

I appreciated most the prompt responses to our questions. It put us at ease many times just having a simple question answered about the loan process.

Brent A.

Charlie's commitment to our experience and going above and beyond multiple times.

Jay U.

local mortgage lender

I met Charlie through my roommate and got to know what a great guy he was. After I bought my house and wanted to get a better mortgage, I reached out to him and knew he would be trustworthy. We sat together and went through all my finances and where he could help me. I've recommended him to other friends and I know he will do a fantastic job!"

Krissi

local mortgage lender

Unfortunately I have had a couple bad experiences with some other mortgage lenders in the past. But working with Charles on my home loan was the best thing that could have happened to me. He is very professional and was able to make my experience so much easier. He explains things to you, so that you completely understand. He lets you know where you are at in the process at all times. You don't have to feel like you are out of the loop. And he makes sure you know your options to help put you on the best track possible. I would recommend him to anyone."

Charlie made the whole process easy to understand and convenient. With his help, I felt confident with my choices and decisions.

I have known Charlie for quite a few years through the friendship he has with my oldest brother. I needed to refinance my home and Charlie was very knowledgeable and helpful with the whole process. He had quick and concise answers to my questions and was easily available, even on his "off" hours. I appreciate all Charlie has done for me and I still give him calls when I have questions. Thank you Charlie for helping me out through the refinancing process and continuing to help me with other questions I have. I recommend Charlie because he is knowledgeable, concise, and readily available and is willing to go the extra mile to help you out!!"

My refinance was labor intensive and took a lot of time and effort. Charlie did not give up on me and told me exactly what I needed to do to successfully refinance.

Charlie took his time to explain my options to me and answered all questions I had throughout the process. He checked in with me regularly to update me on progress between reaching agreement with the seller and closing. Being a first time homebuyer was overwhelming but he presented options and discussed the pros and cons of each so I was comfortable with the decision I made. His support through the process was great and he’s followed up with me a couple times after closing to see how I have settled into my new home."

Chet

No matter how easy or challenging your situation is Charles is the best! He listens is thorough and wants to do the best he can for your financial future. We found ourselves dealing with many unusual situations during the loan approval process and Charles ended up finding us the best case scenario locking us in for some incredible savings. Once we were approved the buyer of my other home couldn't get any other bank to take the time they needed to straighten out years of overextended loan activity and bad records that was preventing him from obtaining a new loan. Charles got involved and not just by email. He wasn't afraid to pick up the phone and demand action where it was due. He finally got other financial institutions to write letters and clear activity and obtained a loan for them. What he accomplished in a relatively short period of time was amazing and we were able to meet our purchase agreement closing timeline and now have our dream home! Would and do recommended him to anyone I can."

We have been working with Charles for the last two years to get our situation to where we could reach the dream of being home owners. Charles was there every step of the way advising us what needed to be done to best reach where we wanting to be. The first year Charles helped us get our credit where it needed to be. The second year Charles worked with us when we found our first home we wanted to purchase. Unfortunately the first home fell through due to the seller. Charles stuck right with us and helped us get things in order. It seemed to be fate. A few weeks after the first home fell through we found the home of our dreams. I would recommend Charles to all friends, family, and anyone looking to start, continue or finish their home buying process. I truly cannot say enough great things about Charles and his abilities to make things possible and financially smart."

At this point, we don't have any suggestions. Charlie not only did a great job communicating everything we needed to do, he also walked us through the entire process making sure all our questions were answered. On top of all that, we could tell that he genuinely cared for us and wanted to do what was best for our situation.

We sold our home "by-owner" and Charles worked with our buyers, who had complicated financial issues, and many fears in a down market. The result was more than excellent. The buyers were so happy with their loan and Charles made them feel very comfortable with the loan process. The buyers told me they would go to him again, and we recommend him to everyone!"
