What People Are Saying

Matt was awesome! We had a circumstance needing some extra attention and, Matt was completely available and approachable during the entire process. He provided great direction and instruction for the items we needed to gather as well. One of the most painless mortgage refi's we ever done.

I have used Matt Stout and his team for a home purchase and 2 two refinances in the past 15 years. I can truly say he is the only person that I will send my friends and family to in order to get a mortgage. Matt takes the time to really listen and make sure that not only are you getting the right mortgage for today, but one that will serve you and your family for the future. That is very rare these days!

Matt Stout and his team were exceptional. They worked hard to make our home purchase happen, only 30 days from the time I contacted him until we closed. They never once called me with a problem, only solutions. I would recommend this team to anyone looking to buy a home.

Matt and his team at Consumer Financial are absolutely amazing. I have worked with many lenders over my career and can say with confidence that the Consumer Financial team has one of the most communicative and responsive lending teams. Knowledge and timely responses are a must in the world of lending and the Consumer Financial team nails that down perfectly.

I was really impressed with the options I was given. Other lenders gave me a quote, but Matt took the time to customize payments based on my budget. The closing went fast and I was able to get a better rate too. Thanks Matt Stout!

Matt and Team, I owe you and your team a huge thank you for your efforts in getting me through the process of refinancing my house. Within 2 weeks of completing the process the mortgage interest rates had increased an entire percentage point, form 3.625%, to 4.625%. The timing of your team helping me complete this process could not have been better. Again many thanks to the entire team. Thank You.

Niesha was absolutely amazing in helping me through the process of getting into a new home. It had been a tough year for me, with many changes, and she made me feel confident throughout the entire process. She answered any question I had quickly and professionally, while taking the time to make sure I felt I had someone in my corner. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to purchase or refinance. This is a person who really cares about her clients, and goes the extra mile. Thank you, Niesha! You rock!

Matt and his team at Consumer Financial have ALWAYS given us the highest quality of care when we have purchased our last 2 homes. Matt's knowledge of the industry is invaluable. I wouldn't go anywhere else and I refer them out any chance I get. If you want the best care, definitely choose them to handle your home buying needs.

I was looking to get financed for a new home and went to several different mortgage brokers. I found Matt Stout, CEO of Consumers Financial, was the most knowledgeable and helpful. He presented several different options given my financial situation and got me into a great house. He even saved me $2000 by noticing my old mortgage lender had charged me an unnecessary prepayment penalty and personally called them. I am posting this because I was very impressed and satisfied with his work. He comes highly recommended and I would definitely call him to see your different options.

Dear Matt, I wanted to take a moment to tell you how much you have helped me over the years. You have helped me on several occasions with my finances so much that I have found you to be one of the first people I call before I make any major financial decisions. I remember the first time you helped me get my bills under control. You then were able to lower my interest rate without any hassle utilizing the government's easy rate reduction program. I knew you would give me honest advise about reverse mortgages. The reverse mortgage you helped obtain has helped me so I have no problem affording my medications, which is a significant cost to cover my current medical conditions. Thank you for all your help over the years. Your friend

I have been a REALTOR for more than 20 years and have seen my share of good and bad lenders. I believe my clients should have choices, not ultimatums. For this reason I always tell my potential buyers to call at least three lenders. Matt Stout is the top of the list and, consistently gets the compliments at closings. He always delivers as promised, without surprises.

Need a home loan or refinance, call Niesha at Consumers Financial! She really looks out for your best interest. (Pun intended) Got us a great rate, and lower payments. Super nice to work with, and she knows her stuff!
