“Just wanted to let you all know that the lending team referred to us by Kevin in Oak Ridge did a phenomenal job throughout the entire process. The GMB-Walton team is who we were working with. Donnie Walton had some not so enthusiastic phone calls from me and some hoops to jump through and he did it with professionalism and was so positive throughout this process. Never has this been a wonderful process in our life it can be stressful and so personal beings they have our most personal information and details. Please acknowledge them and their efforts.” Laura Johnson
