    Anthony went absolutely above and beyond to help us. Our home buying process was a journey and as soon as we got Anthony on board it felt like I could breathe again. Even though we turned to him frantically at what seemed like the last minute, he graciously stepped in and got everything done in a very short amount of time. He was truly our saving grace. Every question we had he answered thoroughly and truly helped us get exactly what we needed.

    I worked with Anthony Bird as my loan officer on a recent real estate purchase, and I had an excellent experience. He was a clear and timely communicator—always getting back to me quickly and making sure I understood each step of the process. Anthony moved the paperwork efficiently and helped us close in just three weeks. He also took the time to walk me through different loan options, providing helpful guidance along the way. I truly appreciated his professionalism, responsiveness, and support. Highly recommend!

    Anthony Bird and the Riverbank Finance team provided excellent service. In a tough market, Anthony and Team came in and beat my best quote, explained everything thoroughly, and pushed our refi to close in about 2 weeks. I would recommend working with them to anyone.

    Sonya Dody and her team at Riverbank Finance were wonderful in making the buying experience of my condo straightforward and easy. Her guidance in helping me through the various tasks to come to closing took the difficulty and anxiety out of the process. I would highly recommend Sonya and Riverbank Financial when buying or selling a property.
