Home State did a great job of assisting us on the finance end of our search for a new home. Once the offer was made and the ball was rolling all staff contacts with Home State Bank were pleasant, professional, and timely. Would highly recommend them.
Working with Home State was easy. Very knowledgeable and explained every step taken on the way to purchasing our new home. I would highly recommend working with them.
My wife and I just completed a re-finance on our second home in Florida. Home State was awesome to work with, which did not surprise us since we have handled several mortgages for us in the past at HSB, always with great enthusiasm, professionalism, and communication. Excellence in action.
