I cant say enough! Communication was always exceptionally prompt and he was very adaptive to my needs as things changed. I felt that every step of the way I was educated as needed and he never allowed me to make a decision that would be poor for me even if it would have lead to a quicker close for him. I never once felt like a client. Thanks Rod!

This is the 2nd mortgage opportunity for me working with Rod. This COVID-19 thing really added excessive amounts of work for both Rod and my realtor. Rod always kept me updated with timely responses. He looked out for my best interests in this mortgage process. The burden was large, yet he never wavered. I would recommend Rod Sutherland to anyone looking into mortgage financing.

Rod was there to offer his expertise and set us up for success at every point in this process. I highly recommended him! You can’t go wrong.

Wow! I can't speak anymore highly of Rod. We are currently going through our second transaction with him. He is very responsive with any e-mail/question I might have. He takes the time to make sure all of my questions are answered and my understanding is clear. He's more than willing to send things twice, if I need them, and never seems bothered that I might be asking this of him. I would recommend Rod to anyone who is buying or refinancing their home.

Rod is amazing. We actually squashed our deal with rocket mortgage just before closing. He goes above and beyond his actual job. He is prompt, professional, and explains everything in detail. Anyone that has Rod as an employee is lucky! Well done sir! We appreciate you. Jonathan Lynam

Rod, is a professional! I always take my mortgage questions to him. Most occasions are consultative and do not create business for him, but he is as eager to answer them with a "what's best for the client" perspective. In the world of online mortgage brokers he is far and away a better resource.

Matthew B

5/5

Questions were always answered, but often in a way that was so convoluted and filled with technical terms and numbers at such a fast pace that it was nearly impossible to keep up and actually understand what was happening. I was also occasionally made to feel small or stupid for asking these questions. Then, when going on vacation, a new or alternative point person was not provided to me to speak with about my mortgage despite being in a very critical point in a home purchase. The person who was eventually able to talk to me was not very helpful, was not responsive, and was not particularly nice. My overall experience was fine, but there were certainly times where I felt not entirely respected and not able to ask questions freely.

Rod is extremely knowledgeable, he also explains everything in terms a newbie like myself can understand. He listened to my needs, actively helped problem solve, then guided me onto a different- but better-path more suited to my situation. I genuinely enjoyed corresponding with Rod-which is an unheard of compliment coming from a borderline-antisocial, notoriously email-anxious lab nerd. On top of making an extremely daunting process managable, he seems to possess unending patience. He has been a guiding light on this journey that is encroaching on a second year. The amount of work he has put in on my behalf these past two years is palpable. I cannot sing his praises enough, and I have given his information to friends who are thinking about buying their first homes-hopefully they will be easier customers than I was. I appreciate all that I have learned from Rod along the way, I cannot say enough how grateful I am for his service.
