Working with Riley was a dream! Not only did he save us a ton of money monthly on our payment but he was able to shorten the length of our loan by 10 years by paying less. Insanity! He educated you through the entire process (boy did we learn a lot), was very transparent, a great communicator, and is super smart about the financial process.

Home buying is tough. Its a grueling grind every weekend. Having someone like Riley and his team there to support you when others beat you out is so crucial when you want to give up. He always had a positive attitude and when we finally got our home it was with Rileys persistent and support.

testimonials

Riley absolutely killed it when helping us find and purchase…. He listed, he strategized, he didn’t waste our time taking us to place after place that were of no interest or fell outside of the perimeters of our wants/needs - and there were plenty. Riley knocked it out of the park for me and my family. I wish I could give him more stars, but these five will have to do, I suppose. Thank you Riley!
