Exemplary Service
We have been extremely pleased with all aspects of obtaining our home loan through Mercantile Bank. With appropriate supporting documentation in-hand, mortgage lender Jon Lyons promptly provided pre-approval of our desired loan amount, and we were able to search with confidence. We found our dream home, and the process of securing the actual loan proceeded just as smoothly. Jon provided exemplary personal service as we secured our new mortgage. We highly recommend him and Mercantile Bank to others! Joe P
