Testimonials
Elizabeth Brine2024-06-22 Craig, I have been in the Real Estate Business over twenty years as an agent and as a Broker. I’m so happy that our paths crossed just when we were looking in a new area. Working with you, Michael and Kelli, was a great experience. You made it possible for the buyers, my sister and her husband, to purchase the home that has been waiting for them all this time. Thanks to your patience, diligence and excellent communication, my buyers and I were always aware of their position in the escrow process. This is exactly what buyers need. When escrow saw your name as the lender on the loan, they sang your praises because they had worked with you before. You and your wife’s knowledge and connections in the real estate community even helped us assess and resolve a local question. Please thank her for us. Thank you for listening and looking out for my buyers. I am so happy about their new home ! I look forward to working with you and your office again. I highly recommend you to friends and family!

Jo&Ray Stribling2024-04-29 I am a tough customer a shop around for the best overall deal as well as thoroughly understand all the mortgage jargon and mathematics. Craig Barton and CB Loans are the only ones that pass with flying colors. I've financed and refinanced at least 6 times with CB Loans and have been beyond satisfied each time. Chris Light2024-04-26 Craig did a great job with our refinance a few years ago and remains a great resource for understanding options to this day. He's responsive and efficient, without being pushy. Would recommend him to anyone looking for financing Nick Taggart2024-04-04 Thank you CBLoans! You made the loan process easy and effective. Craig was always helpful in advising and guiding us.

They were really good in following up and keeping us informed on the status of the loan processing. WIll definitely recommend him to my other clients. Eric McCullum2024-03-28 Craig and the whole team at CB Loans was...AMAZING! We had a tight timeline and some complicated components with the home we were buying, and CB Loans was on the ball every step of the way. I would use them again in a second and strongly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a new home, or to refinance. They are wonderful! Kathleen Cook2024-03-26 This is a much overdue review for Craig Barton of CB Loans. I was introduced to Craig in August 2023. At the time I was starting my search for my first home. Craig helped get me pre qualified so I understood what I could possibly afford. From there we moved to be pre-approval. Being a first time home buyer, Craig was patience and thorough in explaining the who, what & where. He was always available when I had questions and searched endlessly to help me secure my first mortgage. I am happy to say, I purchased my condo in October and appreciate everything Craig and CB Loans did to help make the process easy. Looking forward to working with him again, on refinancing and future opportunities. Dan Held2023-09-18 I would like to thank Craig and his CB Loans Team for a job well done. Craig communicated often and well regarding process and most important the current interest rates so that we could get best available. Craig and his Team were easily accessed and freely shared knowledge and experience making for a smooth and stress free purchase. All the best!
