“We had an incredible experience working with Chris at Valor Mortgage. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to help us through every step of the process. After being turned down by multiple lenders due to our credit, we were starting to feel discouraged—but Chris made it happen. He was knowledgeable, persistent, and truly committed to finding a way to get us approved. What we appreciated most was how upfront and honest he always was about our situation. He set clear expectations while still giving us confidence and hope throughout the process.”

Christopher Armantrout has been closing Tennessee purchase loans since 2015 — with a track record of closing deals others said couldn't be done.
Most clients receive a pre-approval letter within 24 hours. In a competitive Tennessee market, speed isn't a luxury — it's what wins offers.
Call, text, or email Christopher directly — not a queue, not a bot. Questions at 7pm the night before closing get answered.

He was knowledgeable, persistent, and truly committed to finding a way to get us approved. What we appreciated most was how upfront and honest he always was about our situation. He set clear expectations while still giving us confidence and hope throughout the process.
Chris never left a question unanswered and was always available when we needed him. No matter how many questions we had, he took the time to explain everything in a way we could understand, and he never once made us feel like we were an inconvenience.
Because of his hard work and dedication, we were able to move forward and purchase our home, and we are so grateful. If you’re looking for a loan officer who genuinely cares, communicates clearly, and will go the extra mile for you, we can’t recommend Chris at Valor Mortgage enough.
When we had questions, he took his time to answer them and go into detail to make sure we understood. Phone call or text, he would answer or let us know when he could call back. He was respectful, honest and straight to the point
I had a slightly better rate with a bank and he offered to match it. When the house we were buying had another offer, he called their agent and told them we were move in ready and could close ASAP. They took our offer!
We have our dream home because of Chris and our agent. Why are you still reading this? Call him and you won't regret it.
He walked us through every step, explained things in a way we could actually understand, and was available at all hours for our questions. Thanks to his hard work and guidance, we are officially homeowners!
If you think your credit score is too low to qualify, don’t give up!! Chris made what felt impossible, possible. We are forever grateful and will recommend them to everyone we know!

Middle Tennessee's housing market has shifted in 2026. With Nashville median home prices around $485,000 and active inventory at its highest level since 2014, buyers have more options and negotiating leverage than at any point in the last four years. Analysts project 3–5% price appreciation through the year — meaning today's price is likely lower than tomorrow's. In this environment, a mortgage pre-approval isn't just paperwork — it's what separates buyers who get offers accepted from those who lose homes while still arranging financing. Most Valor Mortgage clients receive their pre-approval letter within 24 hours.
