I could not have asked for a better experience. Kudos to you for having such a great team.” – Frank B.| November 9, 2022

"Kimberly did a phenomenal job from the beginning by finding the lowest, unmatched rate, until the very end of the settlement. She was very engaged, caring and communicative throughout my journey of purchasing a new home. I called several lenders and most of them gave me rates higher than what Kimberly started with. She was always calling for anything that came up so that we could close in a timely fashion. Highly recommend Kimberly for your mortgage needs." -Ermal H. | September 3, 2021


"I am pleased to recommend Kimberly Decker as a mortgage loan officer. Kimberly went above and beyond when helping me through my mortgage process. I had an unusual situation where an original document was needed from my previous mortgage lender in order to close the deal. The previous company could not locate this document and it was putting the new deal in jeopardy. This was not Kimberly's responsibility, nor did it have anything to do with Emerald Home Loans, but she helped me investigate the whereabouts of the document in order for me to close. She was on the phone with me day and night, weekends and holidays and finally we located the document and I was able to closed on my new house. She is very personal and took my plight to heart. I highly recommend Kimberly Decker as your next loan officer!" -Donna S. | August 3, 2021


"Kristen and I just got home from a full day of closing / packing and moving 

with Grammy & Papa and just wanted to share a big thank you! Grandparents aren’t the first to come toPicture1-Jun-24-2021-03-50-53-45-PM mind when you hear “mortgage applicant” but you treated them like family each step of the way. This process wasn’t easy by any stretch of the imagination but every step you calmed me down (let me yell at times) and figured a way around the obstacles. The happiness this home has brought my grandparents is absolutely contagious. I’m holding back tears as I write this email because I haven't seen them like this in quite some time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will never be able to say with words how appreciative I am for all your efforts and patience." -Max K. | June 24, 2021

"We’re finally home owners! When I first started my home buying search, I was with a different mortgage lender and there was just no clear direction or care and concern for us as the buyers. Then I met Doug Tredinnick and truly I believe it was God because from that point on, everything changed.  I called Doug one weekend when I was feeling pretty low about the process and I just needed answers. Doug happened to be on his vacation in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and took the time to talk me through some questions without asking for my business in return. He just wanted to make sure that as a buyer I was being given the right information and that I was going to be an educated consumer. That was all it took for me to know that Emerald Home Loans was the right company for me and that Doug was the right broker! I want to say thank you to the entire team at Emerald Home Loans who helped to make this happen from Janet to Kim to Doug, and I’m sure many more. You made this process so smooth for us. There were no hidden fees or secrets and there was total transparency. I would highly recommend Emerald Home Loans to any of my friends or family in the future. You don’t know what it means to us to finally be home. God bless you all." - Toni & Jarrett H. | May 8, 2021

I have already recommended him to my friends who may be interested in refinancing. I said everyone should go through him. He makes a daunting process easy and will help you save money!" -Nykki D.
