First Mortage help - Lyle

We recently took out our first mortgage with Darlington. Everything has ran smoothly from the get go. I’d like to specifically give Lyle a shoutout for how helpful he has been throughout! Even a few months down the line we needed something clarifying and within the matter of an hour he had phoned me to explain and help out where he could. He’s an asset to the company!
