We used Valor Mortgage to help us finance our first home purchase. I scheduled an appointment to get pre-approved and just minutes later was contacted by Chris Armantrout. He was extremely transparent and helped us learn all of the details of what it takes to purchase a home. Chris and his team made what seemed like an impossible series of checklists into a very achievable reality. He went above and beyond at every point during a complicated purchase to ensure that we were taken care of. At every point in the process I was made aware of every detail and given multiple options on how to best proceed. Chris was 100% on our side through every step and helped us secure the best rate and loan available to us. We are ever so thankful for his amazing work that allowed us to achieve our goal. 5 stars is not enough to truly display how amazing he is, both as a loan officer and as an individual. Thank you so much!

Valor mortgage did a great job considering my needs and working hard to make sure I got the best product on the market to fit those needs. There was swift and effective communication every step of the way which is something that is lacking in most businesses of today. I enjoyed working with them and would do it again.

We had an incredible experience working with Chris at Valor Mortgage. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to help us through every step of the process. After being turned down by multiple lenders due to our credit, we were starting to feel discouraged—but Chris made it happen. He was knowledgeable, persistent, and truly committed to finding a way to get us approved. What we appreciated most was how upfront and honest he always was about our situation. He set clear expectations while still giving us confidence and hope throughout the process. Chris never left a question unanswered and was always available when we needed him. No matter how many questions we had, he took the time to explain everything in a way we could understand, and he never once made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Because of his hard work and dedication, we were able to move forward and purchase our home, and we are so grateful. If you’re looking for a loan officer who genuinely cares, communicates clearly, and will go the extra mile for you, we can’t recommend Chris at Valor Mortgage enough.

Chris Armantrout and the team at Valor Mortgage made our dreams of becoming home owners come true. He answered all of our questions and found us the best plan to fit our needs. He made sure we knew all of our options and found us the best rate possible. My wife and I have been searching for a home for 6+ years and when we finally found one, Chris went above and beyond to make sure we closed on our house. I highly recommend calling Chris at Valor Mortgage if you are looking to buy a home, you won't find better service form someone who truly cares anywhere else! Thank you so much!
