Derek was awesome to work with. Extremely fast and easy communication. Even when I reached out to him on weekends or after hours he was happy to help, always had a great attitude, and explained things clearly and thoroughly. I could not be happier!

Derek is extremely knowledgeable in mortgage lending. As a first time buyer he educated us on different loans, compared options and helped us pick one right for us. The whole process was easy, from submitting documents to closing. I highly recommend using Derek at Gold Star Mortgage.

Derek and Thomas did a great job helping us get our first home! They got us approved very quickly and we were able to get an accepted offer on a house before it was even listed. We ran into some problems with how picky FHA loans were being but Derek did a great job keeping us informed during the process. I would highly recommend Derek and we will definitely be using him next time we buy a house. Thank you for your help, Derek and Thomas!

Derek provided exceptional assistance throughout the entire process, promptly addressing all my inquiries and returning my calls. Initially, when I embarked on this journey, I had doubts about my eligibility for approval, but he did everything possible to ensure a successful outcome. From the onset, Derek demonstrated remarkable helpfulness and kindness. I highly recommend his services. If you're considering purchasing a home and are uncertain about your eligibility or financial readiness, I encourage you to take the first step, and you may be pleasantly surprised at the opportunities available to you.

I can’t say enough good things about working with Derek. He’s my go-to lender, especially for first-time home buyers. He’s extremely personable, incredibly informative, and always takes the time to make sure clients truly understand the process. Communication is top-tier. He’s quick to respond, stays on top of every deadline, and keeps deals moving smoothly. He and his team make the entire experience seamless from start to finish. Absolute rockstars all around. Highly recommend.
