We had the unfortunate experience of working with David Hawkes with veterans first one a VA home loan. We were looking to find a better rate with a lender so pike with David. At first he was great, told us he could get us a lower interest rate on the home we were under contract with and also pre approve us for a higher number than the lender we had been working with. We let him know Thursday and Friday that we had a deadline to finalize finances by that Monday evening at 5 pm. We got all the documents in to him Saturday by noon. On Monday I reached out to him asking if he had everything he needed as I had not yet heard from him. He stated he needed a few more things which I immediately sent. His response was that his manager had gone home and he they would review it the next day. I did not receive anything from him until today (Wednesday). He had not followed through with a high pre approval number and had not been diligent in finalizing paperwork on time. He did not answer our calls often and did not call us back. The whole process was completely unprofessional and we took our business elsewhere. I do not recommend veterans first and wish we had read reviews prior to letting them ding our credit. Go somewhere else.
