Jon Kulak and team were straightforward, professional and worked hard for me. Everything I was told would happen worked exactly as stated. I highly recommend Trident to those looking for honesty as they purchase a home. I will certainly look to Trident again

TRIDENT HOME LOANS GAVE US BEYOND FIVE STAR SERVICE!
Our mortgage loan experience was handled with true excellence at every step of the process. Jonathan Kulak & his entire team were simply a joy to work with during the busy time of buying a home / securing a mortgage. Each team member was responsive, helpful, & always courteous. Every question was answered thoroughly, with respect. Their commitment to extending TRUE customer service, (vs. merely lip service promising such, but not actually delivering,) was so appreciated by us. Trust in your home loan company cannot be measured. Our experience with Trident Home Loans was like knowing you had “The A-Team” in our corner. We knew they were working diligently for us, as we moved closer to ownership of our dream home.

Of particular mention: Jonathan Kulak has written thorough, informative online articles that addressed specific questions we had. Moreover, he was most gracious with his time when speaking via phone when clarifying a few questions we had — even prior to submitting our mortgage application. Due to his considerate manner, as well as his solid knowledge of home loans, (most especially V. A. loans in our case,) we decided that Trident was our home loan company of choice. Each person was truly professional, but we must also specifically recognize Shaundra for her expertise. She was instrumental in bringing us to the finish line, & ensuring accurate closing of our loan. Trident Home Loans will do the same for you. Entrust the biggest investment of your life to them, your home. They will treat you right. Then, tell someone else!

The team at Trident is great! I’m a military pilot transitioning to a civilian airline career and I don’t think there is anyone in the business that can navigate this kind of situation quite like Jonathan and his team. I’ve used them for 2 VA mortgages and a VA IRRRL already and will use them again no question. If you’re a military pilot, especially one transitioning to a civilian career, call Trident and have them help you navigate the process. You won’t regret it

Zach Edwards

“I worked with Jon Kulak and Taylor Stacy mostly through the process of getting my first home loan. I was pre approved by 6 different lenders but the people at Trident were competitive, courteous of my schedule, and seemed to actually care about getting me the best deal while interest rates have been going up. I’d recommend any of my friends to give them a call just like one of my friends recommended them to me.”

Nicholas Mann

“Jon Kulak and Olivia Allen were a huge help in my family buying a new home while transitioning out of the military. Very responsive and always helpful!”

Walter S

Jonathan Kulak and Olivia Allen were amazing. Very responsive and worked diligently to make our home purchase happen. They walked us through every step breaking everything down to include closing costs/numbers.

Even when on vacation, they took our calls, answered questions, and were available to assist. Overall very satisfied with this team and will utilize them again in the future. Thank you!

Francis G

Thank you very much to Jonathan Kulak & Team at Trident Home Loan for the amazing support and dedication they provided throughout the entire process of purchasing my new home. Not only did they find a great rate but they care about the service they provide. Jon and Tyler both worked hard to overcome all hurdles that came with my situation. They were available anytime I needed to ask questions (and I had many) and made me feel comfortable by explaining the loan procedures throughout the entire process. The entire team was friendly, professional, and caring. I highly recommend Jon and his team if you are looking for a home loan.

John P

This is the only choice you need to make when buying a home. They take care of you every step of the way. They are trustworthy and work hard for you and every single turn. On top of that, they will get you the best dang rates.

As a first time homeowner there was so much I didn’t know but I was lucky enough to get recommended to Jon and Team (Olivia and Shaundra did all the real work!).

End of story, go with Trident and Jon’s team.

The experience with Trident was great. During the purchase of our home, Jonathan and his team made the lender process very straightforward and greatly reduced the amount of stress we had through our purchase. Highly recommend Trident!
