Customer Reviews

Approachable and Responsive

I came to Mercantile because of Andy, not the institution itself. I began with Andy at Independent when first searching for home, and he was SO GOOD, that I (and my agent) tracked him down when he transitioned employment. Andy Valdespina is among the most approachable, responsive, and competent professionals I have ever dealt with. First and foremost, he was approachable and down-to-earth. Aaron H

Smooth and Easy Process

Andy is what made the process great! He was the absolute best mortgage lender I have dealt with. I can't put in words how much of an asset he is to Mercantile.  I have been with Mercantile for around 24 years and with people like Andy there it reassures me I am at the right bank! Thank you to everyone especially Andy for making it a smooth and easy process. Karri T
