We were so happy to have First Federal Community Bank work with us in securing our new home loan. Our loan officer, Angie Adkins, was awesome and helped us navigate through the steps of the loan process and also helped us in the transition from a new construction loan to a home mortgage loan. She was so friendly and quick to answer all our questions and kept us updated on the progress all along the way. Thanks for your first class service!

I wanted to take the time to thank you for your outstanding customer service in working the refinance for us! You were also very spontaneous in getting back with me with my emails and phone calls.

Customer Philosophy

A mortgage home loan, for the majority of homeowners, is the largest loan they will ever take out in their lifetime. I believe that you are in better hands working with a professional that understands the magnitude of this single transaction. For my entire career, I have advocated for transparency, simplicity and efficiency for each client because it has been proven time and time again that those three things result in the best experience for my clients. No one should walk a way from a home loan closing and hope that they don’t have to go through that again. If you have ever felt this way, then you were not given the best service available to you; let me change that.

Customer Comments

“John listened to what our goals were and suggested loans based on our goals. This was our third time buying a home and we learned things from John we should have known before made our first home purchase. There is no way to quantify the value that working with him brings to the table.”

Years of Experience: 18 years

I have been in banking for over 17 years. I first entered this career in Mortgage Banking and over the years held positions in Retail Banking and Investment Banking. My first love was Mortgage Banking and I have spent the majority of my career in this arena. There is nothing like the smiles that come from satisfied mortgage banking customers.

Customer Philosophy

My philosophy is simple, the bank or financial institution you are dealing with is only as good as the person sitting across the desk from you, on the other end of the phone, or the other end of the keyboard, whichever the case may be.  All banks, loan companies and mortgage brokers have access to pretty much the same quiver of products.  The difference between “Brand X” and First Federal Community Bank is the lender you are dealing with.  I don’t want that to sound  arrogant, but I do believe that service and product knowledge is what differentiates me form other mortgage lenders.  Navigating the process of getting a mortgage loan in today’s market can be challenging.  My job is to make that process a simple as possible.  I do this by communicating and by explaining the process to you along the way.  We have access to Conventional, FHA, USDA, VA and Construction loans.  We also have the added benefit of having access to portfolio loans when the situation dictates.

Customer Comments

Rick has always been one of my top lenders!  He’s caring, diligent, and passionate! Always making sure that we have all bases covered! He explores options to make sure we have tested every avenue to do what’s best for the client, but as well as the transaction! Rick’s experience shines bright, and makes him an amazing lender for all clients!

Rick Lentz has always done a fantastic job for our company.  His communication is second to none and he is always working in the client’s best interest. From his creativity to his knowledge about all of his loan programs I can honestly say that it’s a pleasure doing business with him and it’s good to know that our clients are in good hands when working with Rick and his team at First Federal Community Bank!!

Customer Philosophy

Buying your first or your fourth home is one of the most important transactions you’ll make in your life. No matter how many times you have bought a home or refinanced it can seem confusing, complicated and a bit intimidating. While each loan is unique, I evaluate the situation and clearly communicate with my clients and reassure them throughout the process. I ease the stress of the process by answering their questions and confirming they understand. I take pride in building customer loyalty by delivering clear communication, great products, closing on time and being available. My real estate agents, home builders and home loan customers count on me seven days a week. My job is not 9 to 5, I take calls in the evenings, on the weekends and even on vacation because it’s necessary. I make it a top priority to take care of my clients. I look at all options and present the best available to meet their needs.

Customer Philosophy

My philosophy to helping clients starts with education and understanding. During my interview with a client I never assume what is best option and make sure that I ask the digging deep questions to uncover the true “best fit” mortgage product. My approach to educating my clients on the options available and why I would choose one over the other has been a very successful method and one that leaves clients with a feeling that they know why they did business with me. Many times this results in referrals from friends, family, and co-workers.

Customer Comments

My husband and I worked with Stephen Harless and his team on refinancing our home. He saved us thousands of dollars and cut years off our mortgage all while lowering our monthly payment. We are very grateful to them. God bless! – Victoria in Marion, Ohio

Customer Philosophy:

 The best part about assisting First Federal Community Bank customers is being able to help them accomplish their goals and educating them on their financing options throughout the process, whether you are looking to purchase a vehicle or purchase your dream home. So many people have the goal of becoming a homeowner, and I’m so grateful I get to be a part of that process. Our goal here at FFCB is to provide the highest level of service in the mortgage industry. While many companies focus on just rates & fees, we focus on the best combination of rates, fees AND service possible. As your mortgage expert, we will prioritize speed and communication to ensure the best possible mortgage experience. Finances and lending aren’t always a straightforward process, so another big aspect of my job as your lending officer is educating you and presenting information to you in a way that you understand. We aim to offer solutions for borrowers from all walks of life, whether you are a first-time homebuyer, experienced real estate investor, or a financial advisor assisting a high-profile client.  

Years of Experience: 

I’ve been in banking for over 9 years. I first entered the banking industry as a bank teller, spent time as a loan processor and loan department supervisor, and recently started commercial and residential lending in 2021.

Customer Philosophy:
In all my years of servicing clients, I have learned to listen and educate. Although there are many loan originators that feel like each loan is a transaction, this could not be further from the truth for me. It is often hard to describe all that goes on behind the scenes, but I want my clients to feel at ease and trust me that everything is being taken care of. I truly understand that owning a home is a huge investment, financially and emotionally, for families. I take great pride in remembering this with each and every client.

Customer Comments:
"I cannot thank Bill enough for his above and beyond service!! Bill was extremely knowledgeable, communicative, and easy to get a hold of at all times.

Educating and guiding throughout the process is my top goal. Customer service and accessibility are also equal.

Customer Comments
"A year ago we came to the Carey team for advice on buying our first home. Shannon gave us the advice and we followed promptly, which got us our pre-approval in March!!! We ran into a great opportunity to build a home so they worked with us for the entire year while the house was being built. During this time we built a great relationship with Bill and Shannon and they stuck by our side to the day of closing!! I love how personable and friendly they are and they were more than willing to answer any and all questions we had. Now we are in our beautiful new home and couldn’t be any happier! I will be recommending the Carey Team to all of our friends and family who are looking to buy a home!"
