ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!! It blew my mind how Austin grabbed the Bull by the Horns and got our deal funded in record time. I reached out to him on a... Friday at 3:30 pm, after a different lender dragged their feet for 32 DAYS. I explained how we were about to lose the opportunity and he dedicated his undivided attention for almost 2 hours, gathering information, dotting i's and crossing t's–by Tuesday, July 5 Austin and his team got the deal funded! Think about it... you take out the 4th of July weekend and that's less than 24 hours!!! That has to be some kind of a record for Park Place and for lenders everywhere. Thank you, all!read more

Austin and his team did an amazing job for me.To start - he was able to help me get an offer on a property accepted for WELL below asking price... because of the confidence him and the company brought to the table.During the transaction there were some hurdles he had to jump (at no fault of his own) but he was able to navigate through them due to his dedication and persistence. That effort allowed us to keep the deal together and successfully close just yesterday!I would definitely recommend him to anyone and will be using him in the future. He will do whatever it takes to make it happen and I am so appreciative.Thank you!read more

I just want to express my gratitude to JUSTIN HUBERT for the 2x he has refinanced my home. I just refinanced at the end of 2013 and again this year.... I searched and searched different lenders, and I was with WellsFargo and this place is FAR BY THE BEST!! He knows Texas laws and I was able to pull out my equity, pay off my car and creditors and finance to a lower term! Now I went back to him and pulled out my equity again, paid more creditors off, and with all his assistance I feel so comfortable knowing I can trust in him. The other creditors kept dragging along and Justin had me close both times within 3 weeks!!! Justin you and your staff are THE BEST, THANK YOU SO MUCH! SYLread more

I recently closed on my first home purchase with Amy at Park Place Finance. I spoke with a number of lenders, all of whom pressured me or tried to... convince me no other company could do what they promised. It was tiring and frustrating to deal with as a first-time buyer. Park Place was the last lender I reached out to and after a few conversations with Amy, I decided on Park Place to fund my purchase. At no point in time, did she ever pressure me or dismiss my questions/concerns. Instead, she patiently and thoroughly answered every single question. Not only did she answer them, but she made sure I understood her response and was comfortable with the information. She stood out from the rest and made me feel like I was the only person she was assisting. She was available to answer questions outside of normal business hours and made sure I knew she was there if I needed her.I also had the pleasure of working with Kim during the process. She collected documents from me and helped to explain exactly what was being requested. Both Amy and Kim responded to me in a timely manner and ensured I made it to closing as scheduled. There were no surprises, and all went well. I was funded before close of business and received the keys to my new home on the same day as closing.read more

I worked with Justin in the financing of my new home. It was my first time building a brand new home versus by one, and I had lots of questions about... the process, fees, etc. Justin was responsive to my questions and providing me with the information I needed.I had looked at several finance companies before deciding on Park Place Finance. They just made me feel the most comfortable, and had the best discounts on fees.Once the house was completed, and it came time to close Park Place Finance was really good about staying on top of the lender & underwriters to keep things moving along.It was a pleasure working with Park Place, and I would do it again.read more

My wife and I first began to work with Park Place in 2009 when we refinanced our Downtown Austin condo. Justin was referred to us by a friend and it... was a great recommendation. The team works diligently and are great with feedback along the way. Mortgage processing always has hurdles to jump through, but they handle them with ease.My wife and I recently used Park Place again in the fall of 2012 and our results were just as solid.As a financial advisor, many of my clients purchase homes of all price ranges and various locations. I have recommended some of my top clients to Park Place and they have also been extremely pleased.read more

Justin helped us with the mortgage on our first home last year. He took the time to walk us through every step of the process and really explain... everything. I ask a lot of questions and can tell when people are sick of me, Justin put me at ease and I was impressed with his knowledge of the industry. He got everything finished in about three weeks which I'm told is pretty fast. Some of my other friends had to delay their closings because of their lender so I'm happy we had Park Place. Great experience, I will never work with anyone else!read more
