Customer Reviews

Exceeded Expectations

Stephanie was PHENOMENAL. We found her after a poor experience with a previous lender and asked our realtor who they personally used when buying their home. Stephanie exceeded our expectations with every communication. She came to us with options, clear and consistent communication, and a whole load of patience as we threw multiple curveballs at her due to our unique scenario. We are incredibly thankful we found Stephanie and will sing her praises forever. Thank you!! Megan B

Above and Beyond

Stephanie Axdorff went above and beyond during all aspects of the mortgage process. She excelled in communication, provided clear explanations, and answered questions promptly.  Mercantile Bank is fortunate to have her on their team. Patricia A

Quick and Stress-Free

Stephanie was fantastic. She was caring, patient, kind, knew every answer to my off the wall and panicky questions and handled all of our paperwork and processing flawlessly. When we FINALLY found a home (we were at it for almost 3 years!!) the experience from accepted offer to closing was quick, stress-free and actually fun. She truly cares about what she does, the people she's helping and is incredibly knowledgeable. I always felt like I was being cared for and looked out after. Brandi M
