Derek Horton, Greenville Mortgage Executive Verdae Blvd, Greenville

Working with Derek was the best part of my home buying process. He connected me to the best loan to meet my needs and was both pleasant and easy to work with. I felt like a priority to Derek and I’ll be recommending him to anybody I know in the market!

Derek was absolutely fantastic to work with! There are a lot of stressful things that come up when buying a new hours…and I was doing that from 600 miles away. Derek made it so much smoother and less of a worrisome experience with the way he walked me through everything. Professional, friendly, responsive, and a great asset during this process. Will use him again, no doubt about it - thank you, Derek!

Great rates and quick turnaround!! Derek and his office made buying a new home easier than I’ve ever experienced. I work in the real estate industry so I expected a tough mortgage process since I’m relocating from the north east and have a commission based position, but Derek set proper expectations and made buying a home a breeze. If you’re looking to buy a home in the upstate Derek is your best bet!

I highly recommend Derek and Southern First Bank to anyone who is looking to get a mortgage loan. He was extremely professional and quick to respond if we had any questions! We mentioned to Derek that we would love to move in sooner, and he worked to get our closing moved up by 2 weeks! Thanks for all of your help Derek! You made the mortgage process a breeze.

Derek was great!! He was extremely helpful and guided us the entire way as first time home buyers. Highly recommend!!

Derek is a very professional and trustful mortgage Executive! Highly appreciate this support! Thank you Derek!

Derek was the perfect banking partner to help us make an offer and close quickly on our dream retirement house on the lake. Helping us understand what we needed to make an offer quickly and then setting up our closing date in less than 30 days to accommodate our move took an experienced banking professional to keep things on track. Derek is responsive when there are questions and helpful when trying to make crucial decisions. This purchase was important to us and what we had waited a lifetime for, so working with someone like Derek for financing it was a blessing. I highly recommend Derek for any if your home financing needs. He’s great!

Derek was great to work with from start to finish. Timely, great advice along the way and stayed on top of things all the way to the end of the process. I strongly recommend that you utilize Derek as your mortgage broker if you’re buying a home in South Carolina.

Derek has assisted my family with a refinance and purchase transaction. The new home search and purchase was 13 months in the making and Derek didn’t hesitate to deliver countless pre-qual letters within minutes of me asking. The closing process was smooth and efficient...the closing attorney even had the loan documents several days early! I’ve recommended Derek to friends and family and all agree that his service is beyond exceptional.

For our home mortgage Derek and his team were able to process our initial pre-approval application to closing on a home in less than 30 days during a holiday season. He was incredibly responsive and quick turning things around. No surprises working with Derek. I would highly recommend getting a home mortgage through him and his team at Southern First Bank.

Derek has been a pleasure to work with and made the process of financing and purchasing our new home seem like a breeze! His commitment to quality customer service and clear communication these past few months helped to make all the difference in what could have easily been a very stressful time.

Derek was amazing to work with. He communicated closely with us even though we had to do everything remotely from another state. He worked hard to get us the best rate possible and communicated with us everytime there was a change.

Derek Horton and his team at Southern First are excellent to work with! I used him for a mortgage on my primary residence and even after aggressively shopping lenders, Derek's rates were the best! There is value in working with a local lender over a national lender. Derek was responsive to my many questions and was a pleasure to conduct business with.

Derek is absolutely the best! He made buying our home so easy and had everything completed and ready we’ll before closing!

Derek was great. Quick and never left is hanging. I’ve used several other lenders in the past but will never use another.

Derek was exceptional to work with in purchasing my home. He was available and very responsive to any questions or concerns I had during the process. I appreciated his diligence with getting all the paperwork ready in a timely manner and following through with home inspections and all other moving parts associated with the closing. Even the morning of closing, he called to make sure I had everything I needed. I recommend Derek to handle all your mortgage needs, as I know you will not be disappointed.

We very much enjoyed working with Derek on the recent purchase of our new home. Derek is easy to work with, very responsive and made the mortgage process very easy for us. He understands the business very well and provides excellent guidance on the decisions that need to be made during the process. I highly recommend Derek for all of your mortgage needs. Whether you are a homeowner or real estate investor, definitely give him a call. Thank you, Derek!
