I can not thank Julie Velline enough for the service she provided us during the home buying process. With the help of Julie and Physician Bank my husband and I were able to build our dream home. Julie was extremely knowledgeable and able … More to answer all of our questions (which as first time home buyers we had a lot of). She made the entire process run smoothly. I would definitely recommend Julie to anyone looking to buy or build a home, especially physician's who are interested in building their dream home as Physician Bank made the construction loan process so easy and seamless.

My fiancé and I are so grateful we got to work with Julie! As first time home buyers, the home buying process can be daunting but we honestly could not have had a better experience. Julie is available night and day to address any of our … More concerns and her responses are always very prompt. We valued how organized she is and would recommend her expertise to anyone. Thank you Julie!!! Looking forward to working with you again in the future 🙂

Matt was the best! Wonderful to work with and made the process so easy. Very responsive and easy to get ahold of 24/7. Great option for first time home buyers and young physicians in residency. My husband looked at several options for mortgages … More and the Physician Bank team was by far the best. Juanita was also wonderful and very helpful! Will definitely be recommending to other physicians looking to buy.

We had the utmost pleasure to work with Julie Velline. She is amazing!!! She helped us close the house in 4 days!! She honestly did God's work and made our dream come true. We were with another lender for 2.5 weeks and were not satisfied … More with their service. The previous lender clearly did not specialized in physician loans like we thought they do. Otherwise, they wouldn't have made the process more complicated than what it really is. It was the constant back and forth and none of our goals were being met. You would think there'll be minimal issues when you have 1 pharmacist and 1 medical physician in the household with 2 incomes. We had major headaches with the previous lender before we finally gave up on them and decided to be brave to reach out to a new lender during the buying process!! I called 1-2 other lenders and they all gave me the realistic answer of "No, we need at least 3-4 weeks to gather all the paperwork and process the loan". It was understandable considering we were with another lender for literally 2.5 weeks yet no loan was officially closed. I finally reached out to Julie for one final effort… and it was on Labor Day, 9/4! I did not anticipate any response due to the holiday and clearly all the banks would be closed. However, Julie responded!! She said they were closed for the holiday but she was willing to look over our documentation. I asked her if she can realistically help us close the loan on our closing date & she said "I don't see why not??". I was nearly in shock. My boyfriend and I sent over all the required documents. Julie and her processor literally worked around the clock for 2-3 days straight, I tell you! She was super responsive to her emails and worked like no other. She made sure to take care of us and to meet our goal of closing the house on 9/13/23. Honestly wow. Everyone we encountered during this buying process was nice and enjoyable to work with. They clearly know what they're doing and clearly have worked with other physicians and healthcare professionals before. They know how doctors live their life and their typical situations. They didn't have much questions regarding our background and finances. A+++ for Physician Bank and Julie! We are truly thankful for you.

This summer my wife and I purchased our first home and had the opportunity to work with Jeff Asche. Jeff was very responsive and punctual when it came to addressing any concerns, and his experience of the entire process was evident throughout. … More Most importantly, Jeff helped my wife and I accomplish our biggest objective out of the entire process. With his help, we managed to time our purchase perfectly with the end of our lease. I could not have imagined a smoother transaction without Jeff!

I had a wonderful experience with Physician Bank and they worked very closely with me to help me purchase my first home. My mortgage officer, Chris, was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. She is very knowledgeable, accountable, … More and went above and beyond to ensure that we closed on our home very quickly. We will continue to work with Physician Bank in the future, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

We just closed on our new home today and couldn't be more impressed with the service provided by Ryan at Physician Bank! He was incredibly responsive from start to finish. This was our first time buying a home so we had a lot of questions … More and Ryan was so patient and helped us every step of the way. We were able to get into our first choice home and close within 30 days. After extensive research we were most impressed by the choices and service provided by Ryan at Physician Bank which is why we ultimately chose this lender. Thank you!
