“Clay is the quintessential professional articulate and timely. He made me feel as though I was his only client and number one priority.”

Clay is the quintessential professional articulate and timely. He made me feel as though I was his only client and number one priority. He was available when I had questions and concerns and responded promptly. I would recommend him to any friend or family member. Clay would be my number-one choice in the future.

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Clay, an exceptional mortgage lender who made the entire process remarkably smooth and stress-free.”

It was an absolute pleasure working with Clay, an exceptional mortgage lender who made the entire process remarkably smooth and stress-free. His extensive knowledge of the mortgage industry, combined with his outstanding communication and customer service skills, truly sets him apart. As a real estate professional myself, Ive worked with numerous lenders over the years, and I can confidently say that Clay is among the very best in the business. His proactive approach, attention to detail, and commitment of keeping me informed at every stage made a significant difference in the transaction. He ensured that I fully understood all available options, and his explanation of the process helped me navigate with clarity and confidence. Having someone as experienced, responsive, and dedicated as Clay on your team during such a critical financial milestone is invaluable. He consistently went above and beyond, and I look forward to working with him again in the future. I highly recommend Clay to anyone seeking a mortgage professional they can truly rely on. A big thank you to his team - Lauren and Samantha for an amazing job. THANK YOU!!

“Clay Higgins with Movement Mortgage was incredible to work with! … He worked so hard for my buyers! Not many lenders put in the effort like he did and I am very thankful for that.”

Clay Higgins with Movement Mortgage was incredible to work with! My buyers found him and started to work with him as we found their home. Once Clay and I started the process together he was there for every question and had a fix for every issue that came up. He worked so hard for my buyers! Not many lenders put in the effort like he did and I am very thankful for that. He was also very good at communication for all sides! Definitely will be referring all my buyers to him from here on out!

Clay, Samantha and Lauren were a very great team at Movement Mortgage to work with...always readily available to speak with, kept me on a tight timeline so I knew what was coming, extremely helpful every step of the way, went beyond several times assisting me, and all went very smoothly as a result of their efficient and knowledgeable expertise. Never would I hesitate to recommend these 3 individuals to manage a mortgage.

“Clay immediately put me at ease and went into depth explaining exactly how the process works … I'd use NFM again and I recommend them to everyone I know.”

Clay, Bill, and their entire team were the most knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and courteous team I've ever worked with. As a self-employed person, obtaining a mortgage can be daunting, but not with NFM. When I was shopping for a lender, many lenders told me I would have to take no write-offs for the next 3 years in order to show the most income possible on my returns, which left me feeling like it was going to be quite a challenge and long process. But when I contacted NFM Lending via the urging of my CPA, I never looked back. Clay immediately put me at ease and went into depth explaining exactly how the process works, what the lenders need and exactly what they look for. We were able to bypass the unnecessary no-write-offs the other lenders were telling me I had to do to qualify and, instead, Clay worked with me so I could qualify within just a few months. In fact, once I found a home, were were able to close on the loan and move in within just two weeks! No matter how many e-mails or phone calls with questions I had, Clay and his team were extremely responsive and courteous. I honestly think they have the perfect customer service model that any business should follow if they are serious about exceptional customer service and referrals. I'd use NFM again and I recommend them to everyone I know.

“Clay and his team were top notch from start to finish. Their knowledge and expertise was very helpful during the process.”

Clay and his team were top notch from start to finish. Their knowledge and expertise was very helpful during the process. I appreciate all of the advice and guidance we received from Clay and his team throughout the process, it was very refreshing to have people who truly care working with us. I would recommend Clay to anyone looking for a lender during the home buying process and cannot thank them enough for how great they were to us.

“From the start of the home buying experience, Clay was able to get me on track and educate me on what I need to do in order to qualify for a home.”

From the start of the home buying experience, Clay was able to get me on track and educate me on what I need to do in order to qualify for a home. Being on 1099, many lendors and underwriters didn't want to help. Clay from the start, was able to help me know what I can afford reasonably, and help me understand what I need to do in order to get there. Without his help, I wouldn't have been able to get qualified, and he went the extra mile to make sure I did. Throughout the home buying process he made it simple. He made my first time home buying experience much easier than I thought it would be. I would recommend Clay and continue to recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.

Clay far exceeded our expectations. I've never had the experience where the our mortgage point person felt like he was on our side, helping us, advocating for us, checking in on us... he was quick to communicate and get things moving, and he had a great team to help when he was out of the office. We kept saying "I feel like that's not even his job!" - that's how above and beyond Clay went. Thanks, Movement Mortgage.

“Confidentiality is important to me and I knew Clay would do that and provide the above and beyond customer service.”

I only went with movement mortgage because of clay and personalized service towards my finance and lending needs. I could've chosen other mortgage lenders but went with Clay bc he is well known and doesn't tell anyone's financial business to others in a small town. Confidentiality is important to me and I knew Clay would do that and provide the above and beyond customer service. Thank you Clay!
