"I'v tried to buy a house time and time again. Working with Sam and his team has been the smoothest transaction ever. They were on top of things the whole time and provided full transparency in keeping me up to speed with what the status of my loan was. Thanks all!!"
Buying - Bluffton, South Carolina July 2019
"We were working for almost two months with another mortgage company, on a mortgage that should have been pretty simple. Each time we would have a closing date set up they would come back and say, it wasn't going to work, tell us what more they needed for it to work, and change the closing date. This happened 3 separate times and with the third time they wanted more money and a higher percentage rate. We said forget it, this just wasn't meant to be. Our attorney couldn't understand what the problem was and asked if he could give my information to Sam Cavanaugh at Mortgage Network. Within 2 hrs, on a Sunday night, Sam had already determined that it could be done and within 12 hours we were on our way! From the very beginning, that Sunday night until closing, 2 weeks later, Sam and his team were so accommodating, answering my many question, and reassuring me that all was going well. There was never a '€šÃ„úblip'€šÃ„ù, we were on schedule and had an easy closing. It doesn't get any better than that. As far as my family and I are concerned he was our Hero! He, and his team, turned what was a nightmare into a successful and positive experience. Sam was highly recommended to us and I will happily do the same to others in need of a Mortgage broker. You won't be disappointed when choosing Sam Cavanaugh for your mortgage needs! I would also like to mention Miriah McKenna, part of Sam's team. She was a great help, as well, and always available for any questions I had. Many thanks Sam and Miriah!"

"This was my first experience with a mortgage in SC which was very different than my prior mortgages in AZ. The only comment I have that was previously shared was that I felt uniformed about accurate closing costs. I wished that prior to closing someone has discussed the additional $2K from the original estimate and any options to roll any of the closing costs in the loan. I had been able to do this before but it was not discussed."
