Had to be one of the best experiences of my life!

Angela Diffey From Dripping Springs, TX
This was the second home I have purchased, different lender on the 1st, but having Nicole in my corner was a blessing. She was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to help me and Kenny get into a home. She was patient, passionate and understanding. I would like to believe we not only earned her as our future lender, but a friend. I would recommend anyone looking to purchase a home and needing a lender. To give her and Orion a call. Amazing service to the end!

From start to close (and beyond) they have given me personal care.

Any time I had a question and wanted to learn more about something (just personally wanted to learn more) Nicole and Brandon both never hesitated to hop on a call to explain things. I have 0 issues working with them again

Brandon spent lots of time out of his day reviewing contracts with me over the phone and answering any questions I had. The team at Nautilus handled our contracts masterfully and worked diligently with the title company and other lenders to make our contingent sale/purchase as smooth as possible. Couldn't recommend them more!

Hands down the best lending experience I've ever had.

We were in a time crunch and they were able to get us across the finish line in record time. Unbelievable work ethic, communication, and just overall service! Shoutout to Nicole for being so thorough and amazing with us. We will continue to work with Brandon's team for all of our future purchases and have raved on about them to all of our friends and colleagues. We cannot thank you all enough!

I can’t say enough great things about Brandon and his team!

I can’t say enough great things about Brandon and his team! Initially, we were working with another lender, but Brandon eagerly stepped in and secured us a much better rate. He was proactive, efficient, and thorough, making the entire process seamless for us as first-time homeowners. Highly recommend!!! :)

This has been a big stressful experience and the team has done an AMAZING job of navigating an impossible underwriter, ever changing conditions from me, super complicated financials and all the while kept me confident and comfortable in your over qualified and capable hands. It isn't lost on me the efforts required by you as I merely pushed paper. I never planned to close two properties totaling nearly $2.5M within the same 6 months, let alone simultaneously. These loans are better than I dreamed. Your expertise in your products and proficiency with your team and your clients is great. These accolades are sincere and not just for you to copy and paste to your testimonial page (you're welcome to) but I'll be referring you business for life thanks to what you've accomplished over the last 6 weeks! My family and I will be forever grateful for you making this ambitious purchase a reality.

Absolute pro. Knowledgeable. Patient. He explained things to me in a way I could understand. (I am not great with numbers). And when I questioned him on things he didn't brush me off, he went the extra mile to find the answers with me and ensure we were moving ahead collectively and smartly. Would recommend him forever and ever. He can work miracles and really knows the downtown Austin condo market.

We found ourselves needing an untraditional loan on a property we unexpectedly found. Brandon and Nicole were absolutely incredible with keeping things moving, even when we hit bumps in the road. They got us into our dream home and we couldn't be more appreciative.

Brandon and his team are professional, kind, and efficient. I could not have asked for better service in the loan application and underwriting process. These guys are driven to get things done, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an efficient, effective mortgage process.

I worked with Brandon and Nicole they were the best team I could possibly have. They both made my loan seamless and were very responsive. I would highly recommend them to everyone I know. I closed a couple days early which I was extremely grateful for!
