Dear Steve,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for all of the assistance & advice you and Kristen provided to me with obtaining financing for my recent acquisition. You both were great to work with and you got the job done! If there is anything I can do for you, please call.

Steve:

I wanted to thank you for getting us successfully through the SBA
process. I truly appreciate you sticking with us even when we made
your job difficult. I will always remember that you believed in us and
in the deal.  I will also always remember that you took on our case at
a critical time in the deal and made things happen that held it
together for us.

The business is excellent and it is everything we believed it would be.
We are in full immersion and having a great time.

To Whom It mat concern,

I want to thank Keith Pillow for his hands-on customer service throughout my endeavor to secure an SBA loan for my entrepreneurial venture. First, he was a coach. He was always careful not to advise, but I certainly gained direction from his expertise. I am not a financial wizard! and this is why I feel so fortunate to have worked with someone who genuinely cares about me. He has been there every step of the way to consult and support. You can bet that in the future when I look to expand my horizon, Keith will be the first person I call!

Sincerely,

Jerome Ellis

Hi Steve,

My name is Jackie and I just closed on a loan today for an Edible Arrangements that Augie Leuchten from your Tennessee office arranged for us.

After we had a loan all worked out and a few weeks away from closing “CIT” decided that they weren’t giving out any more SBA loans due to the economy spiraling downward.  At this point we already had our life savings invested into this business and were terrified that another loan wouldn’t come around so easily.

 Augie went into damage control mode immediately; he was upfront and honest with us from the very start.  He didn’t hide the fact that securing another loan was going to be very tough but promised to help us as much as he could.  That is exactly what Augie did, he was always available to us, Tony and I both spoke to Augie many times over the weekend or past 5pm during the week.  I honestly can’t imagine anyone else putting the heart and effort into our project like Augie did.  I never received a phone call from him that didn’t include some kind of plan or how to proceed further.  There were never any ‘I’ll get back to you’ or ‘I don’t knows’, Augie had a backup plan at all times.

I  knew that I could trust this man’s word (which is so rare these days) and decided that I’ll do whatever it takes as long as we have Augie.  Augie was finally able to secure another loan for us – Augie found a bank that didn’t require any more money from us and was willing to deal with a project that was half completed.

I don’t have a doubt in my mind that anyone else would’ve abandoned us with a quick ‘sorry’ and never looked back once things got rocky.  I can write you a whole book on how well Augie Leuchten handled our situation and it still wouldn’t even begin to cover it.  Tony and I are both so grateful that our file fell into his lap. 

We plan on opening more stores in the future and Augie will be our first and only choice for a loan broker.  He is a true professional and shines like no other.

Augie – once again, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.  Words cannot describe our gratitude.

Best Regards,

Jackie and Tony

Hi Steve,

I would just like to say a BIG thank you to the staff at Diamond Financial Services. My wife and I recently completed our 1st SBA business loan with your office. Your staff had provided a tremendous level of service to us. I have heard how difficult and how long this process was for an SBA loan, but with Diamond Financial not only did you make everything easier, you got this loan closed for us rather quickly. I'm already looking forward to doing my next loan with you.

Steve,
I got a call from the bank yesterday and they are going to help me. Three months ago it was "There is nothing we can do, sorry". Thank you so much for your help, business has picked up and I'm on course with steady growth and this will be my best month since I opened in December of last year.

Thank you again, Ken Horn

Hi Bob (Aim Mail Center)
I wanted to let you now that your assistance with helping us find the finance company has been an experience. Keith and Angela at Diamond Financial are just absolutely wonderful. There was not a problem too bid or too small that they would not help us. Their complete dedication to us getting this loan was simply awesome. Once we got turned over to the bank Keith and Angela stayed in touch and helped us along the way. We have since gotten the loan done and all is going well.

Sincerely,
Kathleen McDermott

Dear Steve,
I wanted to write to thank you for your assistance in helping me obtain an SBA loan for the acquisition of my company. The professionalism displayed by you and your associates was one of the best business experiences I have ever encountered.

You were very instrumental in making sure that the loan was structured and closed according to term and you were always there to answer my questions or give me assistance where needed.

Please feel free to have any potential SBA borrower contact me and I will be delighted to give Diamond Financial Services the best recommendation I can give. Best of luck to you and once again my sincerest thank you.

Best Wishes,
