Klayton was very friendly throughout the whole lending process. He was able to answer all of our questions and did so in a manner that we could understand. Additionally, he made himself available through email/phone and was open to all forms of communication and replied in a very timely manner. He was the best!

Klayton was able to get us approved for more than what the lender that we previously worked with had. Whatever issues arose he and him team along with my realtor were able to counteract them. He was very detailed in explaining things, we did not have to ask what did this or that mean because he would explain it completely. Very nice to work with and will use him again.

Klayton went above and beyond to keep us in the loop during the entire home buying process. He would always keep us informed on the timeline of projected due dates.

I can not say enough amazing things about Klayton. His dedication alone to help strangers fulfill one of the most memorable moments of their life is unsurmountable. For me, this was my first home purchase, unusual circumstances, both personally, and due to the CoVid-19 Pandemic our nation is currently in. Klayton never once faltered. This was my first experience, but rest assured Klayton will be the only lender I will ever use, or recommend. If your looking for a lender that is all heart, and cares about his clients, not just their loan number he is the lender to choose. I would never have done this without him. Klayton is a person that truly loves what he does, and that shows with every email, every text, and every phone call.

Klayton provided excellent customer service throughout the entire lending process. He communicated clearly and worked diligently on our loan. Because of Klayton, our new home not only closed on time, but early. He was a pleasure to work with and we will be reaching him exclusively for all of our future mortgage lending needs.

Klayton was very thorough, and explained each step to Michael (a first time home buyer). Even though the move was 5 hours away, Klayton ensured we could close on the house while we were on vacation! It was so easy to work with Klayton, and we will definitely use his company again. He even set Michael up with a very knowledgeable realtor who lives in the area Michael moved. Thank you Klayton for all of your hard work!

I reached out to The Lending Tree after the loan officer I've worked with locally for years could not get my loan on a $1.2m home to with lenders he works with. Klayton was one of the first loan officers to contact me. I discussed with him how the othim lender did not want to utilize my overtime and bonus earnings year-to-date along with averaging it with the last 2 years because it was usually high in 2020. He contacted his underwriters immediately and I sent all my income documentation and Klayton obtained a pre-approval immediately. Once all income, assets and property documentation were submitted, he had an approval within days. As we maneuvered through the challenges of a new construction property and a hard builder and listing agent to work with, he pressed hard to get them to get the home completed quickly as they sputtered to complete the home on time. No other loan officer would have assisted in that instance. I know; as I myself, have been in the mortgage industry for 29 years. Klayton is a top notch, second to none loan officer who cares about his clients personally and professionally. 5 stars to Klayton!!

Been through MANY closings and Klayton has facilitated BY FAR the smoothest mortgage loan experience. He is always encouragingly calm, has a ready solution for any issue that might come up due to his decades of lending knowledge and experience, and makes sure things go smoothly. His communication is spot on and he made himself available any time for questions or issues. Very personable, fair and on top of his game. Will definitely go with him again.

Klayton is communicative, prompt, and professional. When faced with a last minute fall through with another lender, Klayton was able to create a solution that resulted in me getting my preapproval for a traditional loan product the day before a holiday. Him personal investment in a successful result was apparent in every step through closing, including a careful monitoring of interest rate conditions to make sure I got the best deal. My daughter and I are now settling into a very special home and we are very grateful for the service we received.

My wife and I are incredibly happy we had Klayton to help us through the lending process with buying a house him in OC. As first time home buyers, we had a ton of questions. Klayton was able to get us all answers we needed within minutes. He had a solution for every issue that came up during the home buying process. Not only does Klayton have a deep understanding and experience with mortgages, he is also able to give advice on matters that aren't directly related to the lending side. That as well as his ability to communicate effectively throughout the whole process resulted in us getting a loan approval even before inspection and appraisal contingencies were removed. Klayton will be my first choice for all future mortgage matters!

We applied with Klayton to refinance our first & second mortgage and to payoff some credit card debt. He was able to lock in our low rate and help us thru the process. Klayton was available any time I called or emailed and this included evenings and weekends. I have already referred him to a family member and I would recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or refinance their mortgage.

Out of four pre-approvals, Klayton was the only one to pick up the phone and call me. He explained everything and worked around my schedule. As a first time home buyer, I had a ton of questions and he answered them all thoroughly and with patience! I can guarantee that if I buy another home, I will be calling him.

Klayton is an incredible professional who is responsive, organized and who has great local knowledge in the Sarasota, Bradenton and Tampa area. There were a number of times Klayton "saved the day" with him cool head, experience and problem solving abilities. For this I will always be grateful. Klayton, was always there for guidance, reassurance and simply to answer those loan, financing and processing "for dummies" questions. I cannot recommend Klayton and UFFExpress highly enough for any home financing or mortgage needs.

As a first time home buyer, I feel like I got quite lucky with having Klayton as my lender. I entered the process with hesitation. I'd heard stories from family and friends about the many pitfalls that can be involved. Having gone through it, I understand what they were talking about - but I didn't experience much difficulty myself. Klayton is extremely knowledgeable in the mortgage and home buying process. He was responsive, communicative, and able to thoroughly answer all of my questions. Overall, everything went smoothly and I ended up with a great interest rate. I definitely recommend Klayton to anyone who is looking for a lender!
