I had a great experience with John Degraaf at Riverbank Finance. He was a very helpful loan officer who took the time to explain the processes they were using and was quick to respond to any questions I had. The whole process was quick and easy, thanks to them.

I worked with Anthony for over two years during my long search for my first home and he was a pleasure to work with! Knowledgable, patient with all of my questions and generally pretty quick to reply. I would recommend Riverbank if you’re searching for a lender.

Sonya Dody is great. She has put up with me for years reaching out for information about home loans. She has never pressured me but always provided education so I would know what the next steps were towards purchasing a home. Even after she got me pre-approved a couple years ago and I changed to go in a different direction and do a land contract- She was informative and supportive and has now successfully gotten me refinanced on the land contract home. Thanks for everything Sonya.

Anthony was amazing period, point, blank!!! He got us an amazing rate on our refinancing. We went from 7.25% to 5.75%!!!! Anthony was extremely helpful during the entire process from beginning to end. He and his team are informative subject matter experts in refinancing. I highly recommend his services! Thank you Anthony!

Anthony Bird was an asset in helping me find the best options for finance to purchase my new home. He was available for any questions I had and was quick to respond. Highly recommend Anthony and his staff. I do feel the current process for financing/closing on a propery could be streamlined.

I worked with Damon who helped me with my first home purchase using a VA loan. He is very good at his job and was there to answer any questions I had along the way during the process. If you're looking to take out a mortgage or do a refinance, reach out to Damon and he will take good care of you.

Josh was easy to work with; laid back yet conscientious and thorough, prompt with replies, and took the necessary time to listen and help come up with the best solutions for my situation. He was especially good at explaining things I was unfamiliar with and answering my questions in layman’s terms. I would highly recommend him for your mortgage needs and will definitely be using him in the future!

I worked with Sonja Doddy to help me get financed on a house and she was amazing. She did everything she could to get to best loan that worked for me and my wife being first time buyers. She then went further and got us some incentives for our closing costs and saved us A LOT OF MONEY! She was also very thorough and gave us all the information we needed to understand the process of buying a home. I definitely recommend Sonja and riverbank financing if you’re looking to purchase a house!

Damon (and the team at Riverbank) were so great to work with! Damon made the process accessible by being available to answer my (many!) questions; he and his team were attentive to detail and swift in moving things along...I feel like they had my best interest at heart, and I'm grateful for their efficiency and personalized care!

I worked with Tomas for my mortgage, and he made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free. Tomas was always available through text, calls, and emails, promptly answering every question I had. His clear and thorough explanations helped me understand each step of the process. I highly recommend Tomas for anyone seeking a reliable and communicative mortgage broker!

We have now refinanced our home twice with Riverbank Finance; first a conventional, then a VA loan. The entire team (John, Kim, Pammy, Jen, and Jessica) has been so courteous, professional, and efficient. John, in particular, is very knowledgeable and worked very hard to save us a significant amount of money on the cost of the loan and the closing costs. You will benefit from an entire team with valuable expertise who has streamlined this process into a very user-friendly format. We highly recommend Riverbank for all your home financing needs!

I had an exceptional experience working with Damon at Riverbank Finance during my home buying process. Damon expertly guided us through the VA home loan process, patiently answering all of our questions and explaining every detail thoroughly to ensure there were no surprises along the way. His professionalism and expertise made the entire process smooth and painless. I highly recommend Damon and Riverbank Finance for anyone looking for a seamless and stress-free home buying experience. Thank you, Damon, for your invaluable assistance!

This company was awesome to work with. Josh and his team helped me and my husband to get through a very complicated situation we had for refinancing our home. Even though the case kept getting more and more complex as we worked stuff out, Josh and his team were always ready to provide timely assistance in every step of the process. They were very flexible with timing and case management and they even went above and beyond to help us find the right vendors when we needed inspections of any kind. I would 100% recomend working with them any time! You guys ROCK! we will be forever greatful for your help with our case.

My wife and I applied for a loan a couple of month ago. It was our first loan so we were a little slow on getting everything that one would need to successfully get approved but nonetheless the patients of the agent and helpfulness were top notch. I am truly happy to have done business here and very grateful for the help I received.

Five stars is not enough to express my gratitude for Tomas Frezghi and Kim Conklin! Both were so accessible and responsive and I felt like their only and most important client. Buying a home from across the country is stressful enough but Tomas made the entire process as easy as possible. He was in constant communication and consistently responded to my many questions same day. He was a voice of calm and expertise the entire time. I had reached out to other lenders in the beginning and Tomas stood above them all with his communication and checking in from my first contact with him. Thank you Tomas and team! I truly appreciate you and all that you do.

Riverbank Finance LLC -Anthony Bird & Associates- is a superb mortgage broker. Great and clear communication, meticulous documentation proofing and reviewing, best rates and personalized mortgage plans. Highly recommended, this company really takes care of its customers. Make yourself a favor and call them to take care of your financial needs, you won’t regret it. We are closing today, and the process was made easy and smooth by Riverbank. Thank you Anthony! … O - Mar

Josh Woodwyk was truly amazing. It took me than 2 years to find the right house, and during that time, I emailed Josh numerous times with various questions and applied for multiple houses in 2021 and 2023. Throughout this process, he remained exceptionally polite and patient, providing detailed answers to all my inquiries. Additionally, all my siblings utilized his services to secure their house loans, and we are all extremely satisfied with the results. We've even recommended him to our friends, who also benefited from his services in 2023. I wholeheartedly recommend Josh and his company to anyone seeking a seamless loan process. Not only does he offer the best loan rates, but he also ensures that you are approved for the highest possible amount. We had previously tried another company, but they provided us with an approval for significantly less than what Josh secured for us. Therefore, my siblings and I highly recommend him.

Riverbank Finance is absolutely incredible to work with. I don’t think I could give enough compliments to Anthony Bird and his team. This was my first time purchasing a home and going through the entire process and they walked me through everything step by step, and when I say step by step I mean in a way that I understood. Not with large terms that went over my head and made me feel uncomfortable. They offered me every option available and gave me the choice with no added pressure. They worked around the clock to make the timeline work and hit my closing date and even worked with my financial planner directly so I didn’t have to play the middle man. If you’re looking for a superstar team that can get you the lowest rates in town, I HIGHLY recommend giving them a call! You won’t regret it!

Tomas was great to work with. His interest rates were better than the competition. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. I will definitely work with him again in the future.

I reached out to the company and spoke to Jillian who told me she can help me obtain a loan. I specifically stated do not run my credit unless you can find a product that works for me. She promised me they could work with me. She ran my credit, I have an 750+ score and then told me they couldn’t help me find a loan that fit my needs due to her error. Really terrible! I’ll do a refinance on my other personal properties with another bank. All I wanted was honesty. I don't mind if you mess up we are all human, but don’t ignore my call bc we could have worked it out another way.

Jillian Runkle exceeded all expectations! After a disappointing experience elsewhere, Jillian came to the rescue with her exceptional professionalism and efficiency. She not only managed to close our loan in just one week (although, let’s not set that as the standard!), but she did so with a level of expertise and grace that left us thoroughly impressed. It’s worth noting that this was her first close after transitioning to sales, which speaks volumes about her talent and adaptability. Jillian’s dedication and knowledge are truly outstanding, especially given the complexities involved in switching loan companies. Her informative approach and unwavering support turned what could have been a stressful ordeal into a seamless and enjoyable journey. If you’re in search of a loan officer who goes the extra mile, look no further than Jillian Runkle at Riverbank Finance LLC. She’s simply fantastic!

Worked with Anthony Bird. First time home buyer with very little experience in the area. Anthony helped right away, was always available, explained everything in great detail. Was available throughout the whole process, checked in occasionally when we were searching for homes. Sent us some videos as well explaining certain things for us. Got us a great rate especially compared to what I was hearing from other people. Would absolutely use their services again and recommend them to anyone.

I am both grateful for and impressed with the unparalleled professionalism and expertise of Jenna Gordon at Riverbank finance. Jenna enabled my family and I to purchase our first home because she diligently searched for programs we qualified for that would provide assistance for our down payment and closing costs. She facilitated us throughout the entire process and explained everything as she went. We had delays in our purchase timeline that Jenna navigated well. She is friendly and communicative even with a busy schedule full of other clients. Without Jenna or Riverbank finance we would not have a home. Thank you!

We absolutely loved working with John and the Riverbank Team. John was recommended to me by a realtor over two years ago by a realtor in Grand Rapids, and though we ended up buying in Northern Michigan, he was still such a personal and excellent mortgage lender who worked with us for over a year to secure a mortgage and finally close on a house this past week. John was incredibly responsive and available by email, call, and text for over a year, and had really good advice and insight into the housing market and lending process. Throughout our buying process, our realtor continually commented on how great John was to work with, and they got us to closing day so smoothly. We can highly recommend him and the Riverbank Team for your mortgage lending!

Had a great experience working with John DeGraaf at Riverbank Mortage. Got the home I wanted and the process with John and Riverbank was smooth. John was honest and upfront about issues and I can’t recommend him enough.

I worked with Anthony and Kim. They went above and beyond to get me into a house before my landlady pushed us out. Even contacting us after business hours to keep us updated. We were able to sign on our house the day before Thanksgiving. They probably had other clients they were working with at the same time but still got us in a place before it was to late. I would highly recommend Riverbank Finance for your house purchase. I am grateful for Kim and Anthony. Thanks again Riverbank Finance.

I cannot thank Anthony, Pammy, and the team enough for helping me buy my first house! Anthony hunted for programs I qualified for to save me money and checked in on me regularly to see if there were properties I was looking at, and he gave me a pep talk when I was beginning to get a little discouraged. When I found my new house, Riverbank Finance gave me the edge I needed during a hot, competitive market by providing a short timeframe for the closing date and following through with their super quick and efficient processing. I highly recommend Riverbank Finance!

Great company to work with. Fast efficient service. After closing on your property, they will look ever 6 months to see if interest rates have lowered to where they can refinance you. I'm very happy I choose Riverbank Finance LLC

I recently worked with Andrew Wilterink, Mortgage Broker wiyh Riverbank Finance LLC, and I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. Andrew went above and beyond to help me close a HELOC deal, showcasing his exceptional focus and results-oriented approach. He guided me throughout the entire process, making it seamless and stress-free. If you’re in need of any mortgage assistance, I highly recommend reaching out to Andrew. He’s dedicated, professional, and ensures you get the best solutions for your mortgage needs.

Tomas Frezghi needs to change his name to Harry Houdini as he makes the impossible, possible. Expect professionalism, rare work ethic and a guy who genuinely cares about a positive outcome for his customers. Like the famous Joe Gerard said "Help enough people get what they want and you'll get what you want." and I'd venture to guess Tomas has read that book and is living every word. In a day and age of horrible customer service, Tomas is a unicorn of old fashion "personal touch". Thank you Tomas for all your effort going into helping me get the positive outcome I needed in my mortgage loan needs!

Josh was so great to work with to get our loan for our first home! He went above and beyond starting with our first call and explained everything we needed to know about buying a home for the first time. Through the whole process, communication was great with him and he answered our questions no matter what time of day. Definitely recommend!!

I’m so glad I found this company online. Now I’m ready to enjoy my new home. I would totally recommend to family and friends ????

Recently closed on an investment property. Anthony was a great resource! He replied quickly to all requests, answering questions and providing documentation much faster than I expected. He and his team are really on top of their game! I very strongly recommend them. We're looking to purchase another property soon and are continuing to work with them.

Anthony Bird is a great lender, he took a lot of time to help my fiancee buy our first home, no matter how many questions he explained in easy detail all the fine print and worked close with us. We were initially approved for a FHA Loan and he gave great advice on how to get our credit score up so we could qualify for Conventional which made things a lot easier for us. 10/10 would work with him again.
