## “He wasn’t pushy”

Sarah R. · Video posted June 2023

I had the pleasure of working with Chris Armantrout from Valor Mortgage the past six months, I believe is when he worked on refinancing our home for us. And I will tell you, it was a joy to work with him. I think primarily really because he wasn't pushy. He presented us with information, presented us with what he could offer, but then really kind of took a step back and let us make the decision. And when it comes to finances, for me and for my husband, that's super important that we not feel the pressure, but we really and truly are armed with information and then able to make the decision that is best for our family. And that's exactly what Chris did. Then when we decided to use his services, he took care of everything. And really and truly, we showed up. We signed paperwork. During the paperwork process, we did have a couple additional questions. Chris was right there, accessible, willing to get the answers to us. And it was really an effortless process. Let me tell you, we are very, very glad that we chose to use Chris and to use Valor Mortgage, especially when we did. It's been a blessing for our family.

## “No question was too stupid”

Valor Mortgage clients · Video posted June 2023

Working with Chris was great because we felt that he had our best interests in mind. He wasn't just trying to get money for himself and sell us whatever made him look good or got him the most money. He wanted to work with us, and he wasn't going to try and take advantage of us. And he told us how things worked, explained things to us, and got us the best mortgage for us. And that meant a lot to us. It's really important. He found ways to make things work for us. He was always available, even when he was on the beach or wherever. Any time of the day, we give him a call. We had a question. He worked with us. No question was too stupid. He understood where he walked with us. It was wonderful, and we really recommend it.

## “We did not have to wait on hold once”

The perfect part about working with Valor Mortgage for both of us, I would have to say, it's just the personal, you know, professional experience. Being able to get to talk to, you know, Chris and actually get to call him right up and, you know, helps me with every question I have. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I enjoyed it 100%. Yeah, we did not have to wait on hold once. Loved it, loved it, 100%. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

## “Open, honest, and communicated very well”

Aaron S. · Video posted June 2023

In 2020, my wife and I refinanced our home with Chris of Valor Mortgage. Originally, we weren't looking to do a refi, but during a conversation, Chris said, hey, what if I can lower your interest rate by one percent? So we had a meeting with Chris, and sure enough, he was able to lower our interest rate on our mortgage by one percent. Now, during that process, it was, everything went very smooth. Chris was open, honest, and communicated very well and kept us informed of where we were at, you know, in that process. So if you're looking for a reputable mortgage company to, you know, to take out a mortgage or do a refi, I definitely recommend Chris with Valor Mortgage.

Aaron describes one refinance in 2020. Rates were different then, and a refinance may not lower your rate. Results depend on your loan, your credit and the market at the time.

## “My go-to mortgage guy”

Emily G. · Video posted June 2023

Chris Armantrout is my go-to mortgage guy. I have personally used him three times. I've referred my family and my friends to him, and honestly, he's become a friend himself. I actually first met Chris about four or five years ago, just as part of the downtown historic Springfield community. He's very involved down here, making his mark, and he's been able to help multiple clients of mine, as well as my own parents. So if you haven't talked to Chris, you should definitely give him a chance. He strictly does mortgages, so he knows everything there is to know, and he also knows where to get the best deals, and has been a great advisor for me.

Emily’s opinion from her own experience. Valor Mortgage, LLC compares options across participating wholesale lenders; whether that produces a lower cost depends on your file and on lender pricing that day.
