I honestly can’t say enough good things about Bethany! I did my entire home-buying process in Maryland from out of state, which could have been incredibly stressful, but Bethany made everything feel so easy and honestly relaxing. She was amazing from start to finish — so thorough, super quick to respond, and always there to answer any questions I had. No matter how big or small the question was, she was always so helpful and made sure I understood everything along the way. I never felt like I was left wondering what was going on, which meant so much to me, especially being out of state. Bethany truly went above and beyond and made what could have been a very overwhelming process feel smooth and stress-free. I’m so grateful I had her to guide me through it all and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home! Thank you so much, Bethany, for making this whole experience such a great one!

She genuinely cared about helping me through the process and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth, manageable, and even exciting. Bethany’s knowledge, professionalism, and kindness are second to none. She went above and beyond every step of the way, and I always knew she had my best interests at heart.

I loved working with Bethany Lauman of Southern Trust Mortgage Company. She made the whole process so easy and painless. She took her time to speak with me when I had questions and I had plenty. When all was said and done and I knew what to expect because she did not talk over my head to get her job done. I would recommend Bethany and Southern Trust to anyone looking for a Mortgage company.
