Carol and Reliance First Capital were on the top of their game on this mortgage transaction. From the beginning I was treated to a premier experience from application through closing. The entire time I was kept aware of the process as I was led step by step. I am truly satisfied with the entire time before and after closing. I highly refer Carol for your mortgage loan needs.

I spoke with Carol and at first I didn't want to give it a chance. She asked for 5 minutes of my time. I gave her the opportunity and realized that she really could indeed help us. Carol was wonderful, she made sure after hours she could help us. I would highly recommend her to anyone. The whole team at Reliance First Capital are great. I'm not sure I know anyone in our situation, but if I hear of anyone I'll definitely send them the information to contact Reliance First Capital.

I want to share my experience with Carol A. Austin with Reliance First Capital. When I started inquiring about refinancing, I suddenly received numerous calls and couldn’t keep up with who was what company, etc. and eventually just got very overwhelmed. I remember the day Carol called to talk to me about refinancing. Her voice was so calm and reassuring and she seemed so trusting and willing to actually help me. Instead of hanging up on yet another financing company, I ended up on the phone with Carol for a while while she explained my options and ways to actually HELP me that I didn’t even know were possible. She said she was on my side and over the process really turned into a friend, not just another mortgage analyst. Over the course of a month, Carol answered approximately 1,482 questions of mine and returned every call and email. She was with me through every step, just like she told me she would be. This seemingly very complicated process took no time. Within a few weeks of this transaction and us parting ways, I reached back out to Carol to talk about preapproval to purchase another home. She was quick, just as she always has been, and we were approved the very next day. If anyone out there is looking for someone that will explain things on your level, talk to you like a friend, and take the time to find ways to best benefit YOU, please contact Carol A. Austin at Reliance First Capital. I’m so glad I did and will use her for whatever endeavors we have in the future! Thank you, Carol, from the bottom of my heart!

Great first mortgage refinance company. I just refinanced my home through Reliance. Carol Austin and Lindsay Jaquith were my main contacts. Carol and I spoke.about a year ago and luckily I kept her phone number. My loan was a challenge to get approved for many reasons, but Carol is a great loan officer and knows how to get threw all the paperwork needed to get a loan done. I had a 45 year career as a commercial loan officer in Memphis, so I understand fully what she and Reliance did for me. I personally recommend Carol and Reliance if you are buying a home or simply refinancing. Ask for Carol Austin when you call.
Kem W. - Tennessee
Carol and Philip were nice and professional.

I recently did a cash out refinance loan with Reliance First Capital. My loan officer, Carol Ann Austin did a tremendous job. She was very thorough in guiding me through each step of the process making sure I understood what was going on. You could basically say she held my hand from beginning to end. I was able to get a great loan at a great rate and the cash out portion allowed me to payoff basically everything I owed leaving me with just a mortgage payment. I highly recommend her services!
James S. - Tennessee
If you are looking at refinancing your home, I would highly recommend Carol Austin! She made the process incredibly easy and worked around our busy schedule. We were closed in no time at all. She was available every day that we needed to ask questions. We were able to complete everything from our home which was an added bonus! In addition, we were able to contact her months after closing about tax questions and she spent her time helping us find everything that we needed. Contact Carol Austin for your next mortgage!

Carol Austin was on my experience. She really cared about my experience. Carol was very attentive.

Carol helped me a lot to proceed with the loan, explaining that the demands from the underwriters are government requirements and they are just doing their job. I just want to say thank you to Reliance First Capital for helping me in my financial needs. No one I can think of right now, but will keep Reliance First Capital in mind should any one I know need financial assistance.
Cecilia D. - Ohio
From start to finish, great experience.
Michael F. - Tennessee
I refinanced my home for a lower interest rate and bill payoff. I was so underwater I didn’t know what to do. I spoke with Carol Austin told her my problem. She immediately told me what she had in mind. We started the process in January 2020. She was so wonderful with everything. I now have lower house payments and bill free. She was a LIFESAVER for me. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to refinance.
Sandra P. - Tennessee

Rochelle J. - Ohio
Outstanding process. Been through them in the past but never this smoothly. Carol always available to reassure us that everything was working as it should and to trust her. Professional, caring and most of all trusting. Everything she said would happen, when it would happen and how it would happen, did. A great thanks to her and to all that work with her in your company. Everyone that we spoke to, emailed or texted were quick to respond. Don't have a name at this time, but you can surly believe that I will keep my ears and eyes open for anyone looking to consolidate, purchase or refinance.
Rosie F. - Tennessee

Betty F. - Tennessee
My "refinance Lady" Carol Austin has left me without enough excellent descriptive adjectives to fully convey her: commitment, patience, knowledge and, trust worthiness. Reliance should be proud to have this type of individual representing them. The girl knows how to get things done and it will be my honor and pleasure to pass out her cards every chance I get. Thank you Carol! Thank you Reliance for choosing your people well.
Robert C. - Arizona
They were able to get my closed quick. Carol Austin was great and always kept in great contact with me and may sure I was up to date with my loan and informed me if I needed anything else.
Jason R. - Ohio
Our experience with Carol was superb! Our situation was a little challenging because we're relatively new to America. Carol was great!!! She was terrific professional who takes pride in her craft, understanding and worked very hard to get us an outstanding deal. When she tells you she cares she genuinely does!!! We would also like to thank Brian for going above and beyond to assist Carol in the process. We recommend Carol and Reliance First Capital!

Joe and I want to take this opportunity to thank you for all you did to help us with our refinance. I know at times it was frustrating to all of us going through the process and gathering all those documents which kind of put us in low moods because of the anxiety which developed when things got too hot to handle, but in the end it all turned out well which was mostly due to your patience and the way you handled the difficult situations. On my part, my illness and the cold/flue I still have going on 4 weeks made it difficult for me to always be cheery. I had another chest x-ray today and have another Dr. appointment Friday so hopefully they'll find out what the problem is and give me something that works. My sister is still in the nursing home/rehab center but she doesn't seem to be having much success with getting to walk again with a walker which will enable her to go, home again with help. But, unfortunately the PT doesn't seem to be helping her much and she's very discouraged and depressed. Of course, I haven't been much help with my cold/flue not being able to visit her much lately and her two sons back in MA with their families and responsible jobs that they can't just pick up and leave when they want to. However, we're having a meeting at the rehab center on Thursday with the staff, me and Joe, her son who is her power of attorney from MA via conference call, and her home health aide and the owner of the agency. So hopefully something positive will come of it. Well Carol, I think I've rambled on enough. I just wanted to write and thank you for all your help and patience in this grueling refinance and also thank you for your kindness and professionalism and for your positive attitude regarding the price that our home is worth and keeping Joe and I assured that everything would be fine in the end. We hope, as you mentioned, that we make an effort to keep in touch in the future and stay "friends". Thanks again Carol for all your help, positive attitude, and mainly your friendship.
