I just got off the phone with Don Carriker. He personally answered the phone, I didn't talk to a receptionist or a loan officer or any go between, Mr. Carriker answered and was happy to talk about my situation. Even though he was unable to help me with the type of loan I was looking for he pointed me in the right direction, explained what to look for, how the process works and what expectations I might have. He didn't rush or make me feel like I was wasting his time, I felt like I was talking to a friend who was happy to take time to give me advice and information. I would HIGHLY recommend doing business with Mr. Carriker.read more

We inquired about refinancing to combine our first and second mortgage for a simpler payment. Don ran the numbers, looked at our situation and Instead he advised us to not refinance, but to keep the good interest rate we had on the first and focus on paying down the second - which is the better financial decision for us. We appreciate Don, the Team, their honesty and expertise! Thank you!read more

I first heard about Don listening to the local talk station. He always seemed so friendly and knowledgeable on the radio and that is his true character. I worked with Don, Alex and Lisa with the most. They were all awesome to work with replying to my emails and calls almost instantly. They would reply quickly even after hours and on the weekends. Searching for a house in this housing market is tough. You want to work with USA mortgage so you will be ready to buy when you find the right house. We had to make several offers before we were able to close on a house. USA mortgage was right there with us!read more

Don, Alex, Ty and the whole team did an excellent job. They were helpful, professional, timely, knowledgeable, on all aspects of the process. Don took my questions at all times of the night and even on the weekend. I feel confident that I got the best deal with Don and the team. I wanted a conventional 15 year loan with a payment less than 25% of my take home pay, and I never felt pressured to use a mortgage vehicle that I didn't want (USDA, FHA, or conventional 30 year), or to borrow more that I wanted (even though EVERY calculator out there told me I could qualify for A MUCH more expensive home). In fact, I don't even know the maximum loan I qualified for because Don didn't pressure me to spend more than I wanted to. I will go back to Don for every future home purchase or refinance because he did such a great job! If I could give him 6 or 7 stars I would.read more

Don and Alex are trustworthy to get the job done thoroughly and efficiently with great care for their clients. As a realtor, I look for lenders who are going to put their clients before their own interests and help them from the first phone call to the final handshake. Don and Alex protect their clients and educate them throughout this process. For realtors looking for lenders to work with, they are great communicators and easily accessible. We've had several transactions together and I've never been disappointed.read more

Don Carriker and his team are fantastic to work with. They helped me through my first home loan in 2009 and then when I started a search for my second home I returned to Don. Not only has he helped me with my loan but he noticed an error on my tax return and I was able to do an amendment and get another $3000+ back!! I highly recommend Don Carriker and his team without hesitation.read more

I'm a first-time home buyer. I choose Don Carrier and his crew based on his reputation, and heard his ads on a local radio station KSGF. I'm so happy I did. He and his crew walked us through the entire process, and treated us like we were the only clients in the world. I can't tell you how many people said how difficult of a process this would be. It wasn't, not at all. I have to believe with all the input from family and friends of the process was because of don't and his team. No question was too small. Easily one of the best decisions I've ever made. Thank you for your help y'all!!read more

Yes, you can get a home loan from any bank or mortgage broker. However, if you value your hard earned money, you will need to understand all of the options that are available to you. And in that respect, Don Carriker and his team are the BEST. Don Carriker will give you his time on and off the clock just to be sure you understand what options are available to you and help you make the best decision. Choosing the right bank or mortgage broker can be stressful. But making the decision to work with Don Carriker was the best decision my wife and I made.read more

My wife and I bought our first and forever home using I want A Great Home Loan. Heard about him on the local radio station in Springfield. (104.1) Our first meeting with Don was just to start learning the process of buying our home and to see where we stand. We where clueless. Don took time with us and answered all our questions. On our way home I ask my wife how she was feeling. She was feeling very relieved and not as scared as she was before the first meeting. We decided to move forward, Don and his team gave us a list of dos and don'ts as well a list of things he need from us. After that it was smooth sailing. Don and his team did their jobs very well. All of the nightmares that we had heard for other people buying a house, we did not experience ANY of that. I don't know why people would go out on their own and do the house buying process on their own when there are people like TEAM CARRIKER...read more

Everyone on the team is great and friendly. Don and Alex Carriker are very friendly and acknowledging.If you have any questions they will be glad to help you. Even after you close. The process might be somewhat long but i feel like it would have taken longer if i went with a different mortgage company. I would definitely refer them to my friends or co workers looking to buy a house.read more

We learned about the Carriker team through a local radio station. Alex Carriker just helped us purchase our first home. We were very nervous and unsure of how to even go about purchasing a home… Alex made the process very comfterable, smooth, and simple, keeping us continually updated throughout the entire process, and he was able to get us into our first home with no down payment. The Carriker staff is extremely polite. Very professional, and “on top” of things. I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience that we had. We would definitely recommend the Carriker team to anyone purchasing a new home.read more

My home buying experience with USA Mortgage was unprecedented. Being a first time home buyer, I experienced many hurdles that I initially thought I'd be tackling on my own; I was mistaken. Alex and the team made the process so streamline and easy. They seriously know what they're doing and always have what's best for their client in mind. No matter how silly my question was, or how big of a pain I felt like I was being, Alex came through and always made me feel as if I was important and was never a waste of his time. I looked for a home for months and Alex had to update my pre-approval letters numerous times. I made offers on several homes; all of which fell through due to higher bids from others, but each time a change had to be made, Alex was on the ball ensuring I had my best foot forward and I was completely prepared no matter the outcome. He even suggested different types of loans for some pretty specific situations that made the process even that much easier. Alex was always willing to explain the technical side of things so I always knew what was going on and how my decisions would effect the end outcome. When I finally found a home I was able to make mine, Alex and the underwriting team were there till the end. Alex being always vigilant about deadlines, made sure I had the appropriate documents, and kept me informed throughout the entire process. I can honestly say that I couldn't have chosen a better company to work with to purchase my first home. Being a young, single woman and buying a house on your own is an enormous, scary, exciting, and nerve wracking step, but Alex and the team at USA Mortgage made me feel like I had a huge family supporting me that just happened to be experts in mortgages and the home buying process. In a few years when it's time to buy my forever home, you can bet I'll be returning to USA Mortgage to make that happen as well. I want to give a huge thanks to Alex Carriker for being so wonderful and patient with me, and not letting me give up when I thought I'd never find a home to make my own. I couldn't have done it without you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Valley Williamsread more

My wife and I have used Don's services on the last two homes that we have bought and certainly intend to continue to use Don. The last home we bought was a very diff icult process due to time restraints but with a lot of hard work on Don and his staff he actually not only made our deadline but came in 2 days early. From the first phone call to signing the papers Don was there for us. Try him and see what he can do for you. Gary Sweetenread more

I called Don at 8:30 pm to discuss a loan modification my mortgage company had sent me. After spending more than an hour with me walking me through the paperwork, he told me that my current offer was a good deal. He advised me to take the deal and call him back when we decide to move. He didn't gain anything from our discussion except earning my future business!read more

They are kind and very professional, offering to make themselves available for question 7 days a week. a fact they proved more than once by answering their phone on a Sunday. They even answered on New Years Eve! If you are looking for a great home loan, look no further, Don and Alex Carriker are the guys for you!read more

I honestly don't know that it would have been possible to purchase our new home without the help of Don and his team. They were there to help at every obstacle....some that we didn't think we would overcome. He even helped with things that I wouldn't consider the responsibility of a mortgage banker - from credit repair assistance to suggestions for finding money to pay for the (substantial) loss on the home we were selling. We couldn't be more content in our new home and we owe a HUGE thank you to Don, Dianne, and Tyy for making it possible.read more
