Member Testimonials
Sterling Support. Sterling Reputation.
First I’d like to say that I am excited to be with your company. Second I’d like to say I have never, I mean never interviewed or worked with a company that was so organized. Awesome tools, technology and training.

C.G Sterling Member

I wanted to take a minute to express how excited I am about working at Sterling Home Mortgage. I can not complement you enough on your application of efficient business processes and user friendly technologies. Your team seems to have thought of just about everything. I have found both Gary Braman and Mary Duncan to be extremely helpful in my transition. I rarely get the opportunity to “cheerlead” for others ideas/performance, but I am sincerely impressed with our setup and optimistic about my future with the company.

J.W. Sterling Member

I have been a loan officer for close to 10 years now and have worked for some very good mortgage companies. I was extremely happy working for my previous employer of five years and I thought life couldn’t get much better. That was until I interviewed with Derek Rohrbeck. After learning what Sterling had to offer me as an experienced loan officer I didn’t think twice. I knew Sterling was the perfect place for me. I know that in your email to me you referred to me as a top producer and I really do appreciate that. However, my main reason for coming to Sterling Home Mortgage was freedom. In a typical work day I was wasting 2 hours in traffic and anywhere from 2 to 4 hours just waiting on return phone calls, emails, and faxes. I was only able to get in about two efficient work hours a day. Now able to work from home I am able to do the same amount of work and enjoy the remainder of my day with my wife and two daughters. Sterling has given me the freedom to make a very good living and at the same time allowing me to spend time with my family and be bigger part of my children’s lives. Something that would not be possible working in an office environment away from home. I have only been with Sterling since March of this year but so far this has been the best job I have ever had and the best career move I have ever made.

T.T. Sterling Member

I hope you know that you guys are like my second family and would do anything for you, because you have done so much for me. Thanks guys and have a great day.

J.B Sterling Member

I just wanted to thank-you personally for establishing a truly exquisite mortgage company. Previous to coming to Sterling, I was with Carnegie First for 3 years. Last year I was a Presidents Club winner and was honored to receive a Rolex watch and trip to Costa Rica. I never thought I would leave Carnegie, but when friend after friend left to come to Sterling I had to see why. After speaking with Derek a few times and having an online tutorial, I was very impressed, and the time came for a change.

I like streamlined systems, using technology to utilize my time most effectively, and your systems couldn’t be better. From the outlook contacts that have been so well updated to the paperless, online processing, I have really been blown away. Those are the kinds of things that I felt were wasting my time before. But now I enjoy them because they are so efficient.

J.M. Sterling Member

Thank you for all the support and the extras that you all do to make it easier for all of us.

M.N. Sterling Member

I wanted to let you guys know that Sonia has done a great job processing my loans. I couldn’t ask any more of her. She is right on top of everything and gets things done. In this day and age, it is so refreshing to work with somebody who does their job well!

J. P. Sterling Member

Awesome job, I love working with Sterling Home Mortgage! Nice features to add, both the CRM and the A.E. stuff on video – fantastic!

P.H. Sterling Member

I am working on the application today and if I all goes smoothly you will have it after lunch today. I've received some rave reviews about your company, I first heard the name when Cami & Dewey went to work with you. Then Van Staley "owner of TruePointe" of all people fully suggested Sterling Home Mortgage. It isn't common for an owner like Van even in his current position to recommend a company as he did yours.

If that wasn't enough I spoke with Jera Pennington, a true professional who in fact hired me on at True Pointe Mortgage as an Office Manager at that time. She is an awesome person now processing for Cami, Dewey and some other individuals. She couldn't say enough good things.

I better get to work on my application and will b in touch this afternoon.

L.A. Sterling Member

Thanks Chris! I am so glad to be part of the Sterling Home Mortgage team. It has never been so easy to work until I came here. I feel the system is perfect. What a great set up, especially how you structured the web site.

M.L. Sterling Member

Thank you Chris, It’s been GREAT working with Sterling. I’ve been a loan officer for almost 3 years and Sterling is my third mortgage company. The way that you guys do business and treat your employees, this will be my last stop.

M.A. Sterling Member

I thought you got it before. Now I’m positive you get it. You guys are unbelievable.

C.C. Sterling Member

It was a pleasure meeting you, Friday morning. I am thoroughly impressed with the company’s business model, especially in regards to the attention to detail, policies, procedures, utilization of technology, etc. but I’m sure you’ve heard that a hundred times before (or perhaps 450 times).

I can hardly tell you how excited and thankful I am that I ran into Brian Smith and that I inquired about who he was working with. It’s a match made in heaven for me. As a matter of fact, I was so excited about the change that I couldn’t sleep Friday night and got up at 2:00 AM to go over the entire site on the server login, which I was equally impressed with.

B.A. Sterling Member

Much thanks for the how to get referrals through customer survey tip this morning. I think it is a GREAT way to insure future business. Thanks again and I look forward to next weeks tip. Hope you have a SUPER-FANTABULOUS week yourself.

C.J. Sterling Member

Wow-- Never ending. That is the kind of things that separates Sterling from the rest of the world. You guys (gals) really set the bar and make other brokers envious. It is all because of good quality people and Sterling is overrun with them.

L.W. Sterling Member

You are so on top of things, thank you for this! I have LOVED working for Sterling and look forward to being here forever!

C.D. Sterling Member

Thank you! I have heard so much good stuff about your company and I am so excited.

B.C. Sterling Member

Are you sure you don’t have an entire university as an administrative support team? I just want to say that I thoroughly enjoy your candor, friendliness, and clear support of the employees of Sterling. Thank you.

K.K. Sterling Member

I’m excited. You are doing an amazing job creating the ultimate place to be a loan officer.

S.B. Sterling Member

You guys rock... I wish I had come here a long time ago... probably wouldn’t have burned out and would have made more money and provided better service in the last 5 years…. And life is easier here… You probably hear this all the time... but I have worked at companies where they almost make it hard to close a loan, simple things are hard… I can tell that you guys have originated because you try to make this as simple as possible… I was talking to Nate from aegis yesterday, and he also said that you guys exceed expectations and he was happy to see me here.

We appreciate your hard work and I see that you are ALWAYS working!

C.G. Sterling Member

I have to say this is the most streamline company I have ever seen. Congrat’s on the success hope to be a big contributor.

J.U. Sterling Member

Late last night as I read the newsletter and read about the change in processing I was blown away. I prefer having a designated processor. Thank you for listening, evaluating and be willing to make a change. I believe this change will only make the company stronger. Once again thank you and I do appreciate being associated with Sterling. You’re a class act in how you run this company!

R.D. Sterling Member

Finally someone has gotten it right. The system that you have in place is the most efficient and user friendly that I have ever seen. Obviously systems are only as good as those people behind the system to ensure its accuracy, which you have also done a remarkable job with staffing as well. I am confident to say that I have finally found a home.

I actually heard about Sterling Home Mortgage from a bank rep. Chris Gagne when he was working for Decision One. I did not hear about this company from any ads, just inside the business word of mouth. Sterling provides tools to create successful loan officers that know one else has.

F.C. Sterling Member

I can not tell you how amazed I am with your Company. The website is outstanding! I am very excited and look forward to working with Sterling.

J.A. Sterling Member

I have to tell you, this is an impressive company. You really have made it easy to be a loan officer. Especially for me being in California.

J.W. Sterling Member

It’s hard to find a broker that you can really work well with. I love your company because it’s well organized, up-to-date with technology, awesome fees, and easy compliance. I only wish I had found this company sooner!

E.C. Sterling Member

Sterling Home Mortgage offers ten times the resources available through most mortgage brokers, yet they charge only $399 per month. For experienced originators, signing on to Sterling Home Mortgage’s program is the best way to maximize their potential. Trust me; the grass is greener on this side…
