“Some agents on my team were more responsive than others. But the VA One Time Close Construction Loan is a big and complicated one. A lot of waiting involved and some miscommunication, but that happens with project like this. I believe Shirley’s team handled my loan better than any other lender I could have used. In the end, I know I was in good hands.”

“Veterans looking for a mortgage look no further!! I was absolutely thrilled when I received my pre approval the same day. Shirley called me, and told me that I could start looking at homes. I already had one home in particular that I was sure I wanted. I went to view it the following day,and went under contract. I want to say to any of my fellow veterans who may be discouraged about applying for your VA home loan benefit, or read negative feedback about how difficult it is to aquire that is not true. The process was so easy!! I'm so excited to be a homeowner, and cannot thank the entire team @ Cross Country Mortgage enough!! I would recommend Shirley Mueller over any other VA lender out there. She kept me motivated, and dedicated to securing a home at the best rate in record time.”

“I was purchasing a house using a VA loan and three weeks before close my lender decided to tell me he couldn't come through with some of the terms he had promised. This was the evening of July 2nd and everyone was going out of town for the holiday. I called Shirley and explained everything. She told me she could offer me the terms the previous lender backed out of and had me on track by the end of the day. Even with the holiday pending and a closing date three weeks away I was able to close on time and I am now writing this review from my new living room. I highly recommend Shirley and her team. Communication was always quick and thorough. There were no hiccups and her follow through was fantastic. I would definitely go to her again.”

“My family can’t say enough how a huge blessing Shirley was in the purchase of our home. You guys truly have an angel on your team. I would not recommend any veteran using a different lender than Shirley. This our second loan with Shirley and she is a true blessing. If we ever purchase another home she will be our go to for sure. With her knowledge with VA Loans and her professionalism. Cross Country Mortgage will be a huge competitor in the mortgage world. Thank you Shirley for everything you have done for us on our house buying process. Just a true blessing for us and our family. Thank you. Jerimiah hays”

“I found Shirley several months ago by way of a house I was interested in buying. The seller recommended her as a VA lender. I contacted Shirley to request some loan options given that interest rates were historically high. Shirley sent me a spreadsheet that laid out about 5 loan options and broke down all of the numbers within those options. I could change parts of the spreadsheet to explore various scenarios. This all happened after I had already been working with another lender. Shirley won my business because of how she made everything so transparent and shared the best rates without me having to shop other lenders. I was able to evaluate all of my options easily and decide what made the most sense for our family. She told me all about rate but down options and we decided on structuring our loan and offer to the seller, requesting a seller-contributed buy down amount in lieu of a price reduction. That made all the difference in our new home being affordable, despite the current high rates. We were ready to close well ahead of schedule and working with her team was absolutely stress- free. Shirley is a straight shooter and works for her clients’ needs. Give her a call!”

“Working with the VALoansTx team to purchase our home in Texas was an amazing experience. Shirley, Angie, Ashley, and their team were in constant communication with us, making sure that we knew what to expect with every step of the complicated process. In today’s crazy housing market, it was comforting to know that we had an entire team that was only a phone call away. They were quick to answer calls, emails and always very friendly and personable. We could not have achieved this dream without VALoansTx on our team. We will highly recommend to everyone we know buying a home with a VA loan.”
