I am a local REALTOR® in the Memphis, TN area and The Wendy Thompson Lending Team is one for my favorite partners to refer my buyers for the mortgage process. I have been referring her for 15+ years. Her team has exceptional customer service and always answers their questions & mine about the next steps. The process is smooth and carefully managed. I always have the comfort of knowing that we will make it to the closing table if she is involved.

Wendy and her team were absolutely great to work with! They were extremely quick on getting back with us on any questions we had during the process and were patient with us as we had them re-run numbers on the different places we were interested in. We knew we were in good hands with a team who constantly monitored the interest rate to insure we got the best rate to locked in on! Would highly recommend!

Wendy, Shannon and Raychel were so very helpful to me as a first-time home buyer, working without a realtor. They went out of their way to ensure I understood each step of the process and give me practical advice. I couldn't be happier with their work. Highly recommended!
