I had a positive experience working with Darien Pearce at Southern Trust Mortgage. Darien was professional, knowledgeable, and responsive throughout the mortgage process. She took the time to answer questions and helped make what can often be a stressful experience much more manageable. Communication was generally good, and she worked diligently to keep things moving forward. While there were a few areas where the process could have been smoother, overall I was satisfied with the service provided and appreciated Darien’s commitment to helping me achieve my home financing goals. I would recommend Darien Pearce and Southern Trust Mortgage to others looking for mortgage assistance.

Unmatched Expertise

Darien has been awesome since day 1 in my mortgage/homebuying process. Her team works together very well and I appreciate all the work Jamie does to keep you informed of things that need to be done and where we are and Darien calling to check in. I was not eligible for first time home buyers down payment assistance grants, but Darien called me to inform me of another first time homebuyer program option available to lower my interest rate which I was able to do. Darien and her team are very responsive, helpful, and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone buying a home, especially first time home buyers! They really make what is a tedious process so much easier by keeping you informed and also their app is super useful for document uploads and signing paperwork. Thank you for all your help!

They are the most heartfelt professional people I’ve ever worked with . They help me through all of the process and made the most difficult task as easy as singing my abcs . All my questions were answered and they were soo patient with the millions of questions If I could go back again I would have came with a box of chocolates and flowers to thank her even more !! Thank you for helping find my home.
