Gavin N.

Where do I start, I was a first time home buyer. My wife and I had no idea where to start and what to do. Josh Wheaton, was a godsend. He had to have answered a 1000 question for us alone and did it with grace. We searched for about 7-8 months and when we finally found the right house Simplified mortgage made this process easy and wonderful. Having them by your side, will be the best thing you could ever do. I highly recommend for first time home buyers. Thank you Josh Wheaton

J Eric M.

When I was buying my home, my real estate agent introduced me to Simplified Mortgage and Josh Wheaton. This was only my second home purchase, and because of my first experience, I was somewhat skeptical of the process. However, my skepticism quickly faded after my first conversation with Josh. He is a true professional, husband, and father who approaches the process with confidence. Josh consistently kept me updated and followed up to address any questions or concerns I had promptly and professionally. His weekly update calls kept me fully informed of the progress, which I appreciated. Josh and his team are exceptional. I'm now a homeowner and looking back; this was one of the best experiences of my life. Josh was instrumental in helping me purchase my home, and he is a quality individual whom I would befriend. If you are looking for a mortgage, I wholeheartedly recommend Simplified Mortgage and Josh Wheaton. I wish everything in life were as smooth as my home purchase. Josh was there for every step of the process and even well beyond. Look no further for mortgage-related needs; you won't regret working with this team for your next home purchase.

Liz O.

Excellent service, Josh went above and beyond what I expected.

Evanya W.

I had a great experience working with Josh! He was very knowledgeable about the home buying process, and specifically multi-family purchases too. You will learn a lot along the way as he is a teacher. He was very down to earth and approachable. Not intimidating when we talked about things I didn't understand or had not heard about before. He was always available when I had questions.

April K.

Very knowledgeable and just great to work with, always trying to stay ahead of any protentional problems. I would not use anyone else ever again.

C F

Josh made my first home buying experience a charm. Josh continually updated me with information and really took the time to educate me throughout the process which allowed me to feel more confident in my process. I look forward to working with Josh regarding future endeavors and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase a home or looking to refinance!
