I know he takes extremely good care of people and is knowledgeable to help them make their lending decisions based on their particular financial criteria. I trust him, and I like him.” – Caren Upshaw, Realtor, Keller Williams, Austin, Texas

“As first-time home buyers, Brian walked my wife and me through the decision-making process, covering the benefits of each loan option and matched them to our goals. They kept us informed on the progress of the loan and stood by us to answer questions at the closing table. That is why we chose Stratus a second time as our personal lender and why, as Austin Realtors, we recommend Stratus to our clients. They truly remove the headaches from what can be the most laborious aspect of buying a home.” – Brad and Christy Dixon, Realtors, HomesATX Realtors, Austin, Texas

“The lender can certainly make or break a transaction. Keri always takes the necessary steps to ensure that we receive documents several days before the closing date so the customer can review them. She stays on top of the funding process to make sure the loan funds on time and provides up-to-date information to our office and her customers throughout the transaction. I would recommend Keri to anyone looking to purchase or build a home or refinance their existing mortgage.” – Debbie Peek, Escrow Officer, First American Title, Austin, Texas

"My experiences with Brian Pratt and his team have been extremely positive. As a real estate attorney, I really appreciate Brian's knowledge of the market and the lending process. Brian takes the time to get to know each borrower to find out which loan program will benefit him/her the most. I did not know Brian at the time of my initial loan closings, and I can tell you the difference between the closings handled by Stratus and those handled by the previous companies I used was night and day. Stratus’s commitment to customer service is their greatest attribute. I highly recommend Stratus and plan to use them again and again.” – Chad Smith, Real Estate Attorney, Jackson Walker L.L.P., Austin, Texas
