Pat Miller and his team did a great job from start to finish. The whole experience was relatively simple and everyone involved took care of us like we were family. They were well organized and the online tools and apps made for easy transfer of documents and communication. If we had questions, not a day would go by that someone on the team would respond with the answer or at least with a timeframe for when to expect an answer. All were friendly and genuinely happy to do their respective jobs. Thank you for a great experience all around. We highly recommend the Pat Miller Team with Southern Trust Mortgage!

Seamless Remote Purchase

Pat and his team at Southern Trust helped my wife and I purchase our Virginia Beach home while we were living out of state. Pat, Adam, Sarah and Spechel were friendly, reliable and trustworthy - which helped us feel comfortable transacting from so far away. Pat's guidance on rates and the pros and cons of different types of loans (in this crazy market) was extremely helpful. And the online systems for document submission made everything easy. Five stars, highly recommend, and we'll use them again if we buy again!

Super helpful team!

Pat, Sarah and their team were incredible! We had to switch lenders in the middle of our sale and Pat and Sarah worked miracles to stay on the tight closing timeline. They communicate quickly and are wonderful people. This was our 4th home using Pat and his team and highly recommend.
