My wife and I had an incredible experience working with Mitchell Kleckley at Pilgrim mortgage. We both understand that finding both a honest and competent lender can be one of the most challenging aspects of purchasing a home. However, we both strongly feel that we lucked out by being placed in the care of a man with such integrity.Thank you for making this first time home buying process easy!

Working with the Cary Tennis Team at Pilgrim Mortgage was wonderful! Cary and her team made the home purchasing/lending approval process incredibly easy for me and my husband, and we can't say enough wonderful things about the service and care that we received. I can't recommend them enough and am still in shock at how seamless they made this process for us!

As first time home buyers we were nervous and didn't know what to expect. Mitchell was super informative and helpful and kept in contact with us throughout the whole process. He answered any questions we had and made sure we were comfortable and our needs were met.We would definitely recommend Pilgrim or use them again!

This is likely gonna be a lengthy review, but for those that don't want to stick around for it, the TLDR version is that these folks are nothing short of fantastic, and should the need arise again, Pilgrim Mortgage will be THE FIRST (and likely only) people I call to help me. I confidently and happily rate them 9.9 out of 10...and I'll give a droll reason why it's 9.9 at the end.Our mortgage work-up for our new home was being handled and drafted by Freedom Mortgage, but there ended up being a couple problems that arose that were not communicated to us. There was about a week of silence from them, only for my wife to get a call less than a week before our closing, saying we were turned down for the home loan. We immediately called our realtor (Kelly Rogers of the Jason Mitchell Group, who is also 9.9 out of 10) to fill her in on what happened, and she immediately provided us with two options to contact - one of whom was Cary Tennis of Pilgrim Mortgage.Cary and her team were ON THE BALL from the very beginning. They were actively handling a couple other closings, but despite being such a relatively small team, I (and more importantly, my wife) never felt as though our situation took a backseat. They gathered information from both us and Freedom Mortgage, and after working through a couple options, they ended up coming up with a viable option that was BETTER than what was proposed by FM. And it all came together really quickly (it would've been faster, but FM seems to enjoy their red tape). On top of that, even while Pilgrim Mortgage was working their magic, at no point did they drop the ball on communication to make sure we were aware where we were at in our process. Emailing, calling, and even texting if necessary to update us daily...especially since there was such a time crunch till our closing.If I find myself in a situation anywhere close to this again, Pilgrim Mortgage is who I'm calling. I'll also refer anyone that's looking to get home loans done and done well.As for why I "only" rated Pilgrim Mortgage and Kelly Rogers a 9.9, that's because nothing is perfect...but frankly, this team of people had me questioning that way of thinking. They were wonderful to talk with, exchange with, collaborate with, and, to my fellow introverts, they were just pleasant to deal with.I'd like to thank the folks at Pilgrim Mortgage again, as well as Kelly Rogers that put us in touch with Pilgrim Mortgage at a moment when my wife and I really didn't know which way to turn.- Signed by one extremely appreciative man on the internet residing in Bryan, TX

We made an excellent decision to finance our home through Pilgrim Mortgage. Mitchell and staff at Pilgrim were outstanding from the start and the app was a pleasure to use. Yes you heard me it was pleasure to use! The task tracking, document uploading and status reporting superb. I’d give them six stars if I could.

My husband and I recently bought our first home with the help of Cary Tennis and her wonderful team, and it was the best experience we could have hoped for! Being first time homebuyers, we were apprehensive, having heard the horror stories of friends and family being taken advantage of by lenders in the past. Cary's team was recommended by our realtor, and we immediately knew Pilgrim Mortgage was the best choice for us! Throughout the whole process, Cary and her team were dedicated to finding the best deal for everyone, and to educating us on every possible decision we could make. We've come away from this experience with a great appreciation for the knowledge and understanding we've gleaned. We knew that Pilgrim Mortgage's team in College Station would do whatever it took to keep us informed, and that they wouldn't take advantage of us.The best part of our experience, however, was Cary's assertion of her faith. She let us know that she's been praying for us through the process, and made it known from the beginning that her love for Christ guides her every decision. We found her to be a thoroughly honest person, who went above and beyond - even coming in person to our closing, to make sure we were protected from financial misunderstandings and to help us get settled.If you're thinking of working with her team at Pilgrim Mortgage, all I can say is "do it!" You will find your experience to be educational, personal, and ultimately better than anyone else around.

Wow! We were blown away with the service we got from the Pilgrim Mortgage team. If you are looking for someone to use for your first or next Mortgage Lender in Bryan/College Station, give Pilgrim a try.Mitchell, Leah, Michelle, and Sethe were all very communicative and helped my wife and I clearly understand every step of the process. Being first-time home-buyers, we asked a lot of questions, needed a little more attention, and overall wanted somebody we could trust to lead us the right way. This team was exactly that. Additionally, they were kind and understanding throughout the whole process.Overall, the gave us a high standard for working with Mortgage Lenders, and we would without a doubt use them again any chance we get.

They made this home buying process not only possible but very smooth and stress free. We LOVE our new home
