My wife and I had a wonderful experience with Rick and his whole team. They easily, and professionally dealt with all issues, including several that were outside of their control and ensured a smooth and stress free process with a successful closing. I recommend Gateway without any reservation.

Rick Barber and his team were excellent to work with. Having not gone through this process in many years, I was uncertain how to proceed and what would be required to go through this refinancing process. Rick was kind enough to provide a thorough explanation up front and clearly outlined what his team did and what they would be looking for from me. This type of concise outline was exactly what I needed to navigate through this process successfully. Very pleased with the service and would definitely seek Rick and his team out again for any future needs.

Rick and his team were excellent to work with. Having not done this process in many years, they were kind enough to walk through the requirements with me step by step, stayed on me to meet all the required deadlines, and provided support during my closing process. I appreciated the professionalism and assistance and would definitely use their services again.

Gateway, and Rick in particular, continues to win my business due to their streamlined loan process which is easy to complete, their helpful follow up and Rick's expert knowledge about the loan regulations as they exist today. I am a real estate investor with various properties in Florida and Rick is able to advise me on the best approach for structuring my financing so that I keep in line with the rules today but end up in the most favorable financial position. Rick is very responsive, professional and easy to work with. I appreciate having a local option for my financing and banking needs! Thanks Rick and Gateway!

We had such a pleasant experience with Rick and his team at Gateway. The system they use is very convenient and easy to understand. It makes providing documentation so much better than faxing/mailing in, etc. Rick and his team all responded immediately to our emails or calls. All around we would definitely use Gateway again in the future for any lending services.

The amount of effort and guidance Rick and his team provided us in our refinance was unbelievable. Without their professional guidance we never would have gotten to the closing. We can't say enough. My profile is complicated to say the least. Rick and his team were unfazed. All we can say is thank you very much. I highly recommend this loan offer and his team.
