Russell Petty - Willow Home Loans (Broker) - Charlotte, North Carolina

Talk about smooth and easy. This review is overdue because Russell closed our loan over 2 months ago. He and his team were stellar in every way possible. Clear communication, honest and upfront, they made the tasks easy and took the pain out of the home buying process. His processor Bailey is smart and proactive. I really enjoyed working with both of them. I would recommend Willow Home loans and Russell Petty to anyone!

I want to give Russell Petty and the team over at Grow Mortgage the credit they deserve for helping me with my home purchase. I originally had plans to go with another lender, however Russell offered me not only a better interest rate, but more affordable closing costs. Grow did an awesome job communicating what all they needed from me in a prompt manner and helped keep the ball rolling the entire way through. I’d highly recommend using this company! I even got the idea from 2 close friends of mine who have both used Russell and Grow Mortgage for their own homes as well.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Russell & Laura. They made the home buying experience smooth from beginning to end. Their communication was great, and they were so friendly. I appreciate Russell’s immediate attention to detail to streamline the process. I highly recommend the Grow Mortgage team, you will not be disappointed. They get it done!!!

Russell Petty and his team at Grow Mortgage are the best of the best, simply stellar! I was introduced to Russell in January 2023, little did I know the journey we were about to take as we began our home search in this competitive market. Russell was accessible, attentive, knowledgeable, patient, quick to respond and happy to jump on a call when we had multiple questions. He handles his clients with the utmost respect and sends consistent updates breaking down what is happening with rates, as there is so much fluctuation. In addition to the important updates, he would also send “Getting to know Charlotte” emails that highlighted points of interest in the area like Cane Creek, Treehouse Vineyards and Whitewater Center, just to name a few. Being new to NC and the South Charlotte area, I appreciated and enjoyed getting this info.

After months of searching for a house, we found our home and needed to move quickly- we closed in under 3 weeks! Russell and his team were on top of their communication and executed the close seamlessly. I highly recommend Russell and Grow Mortgage for your mortgage needs, you will not be disappointed!

Russell is the best of the best when it comes to mortgage brokers! As a realtor, I have worked with various loan officers but Russell truly stands out among the rest. He is knowledgeable, professional, and personable, which made it so easy to work with him. From my first phone call with him, Russell made it feel like we were on the same team with the common goal of getting our clients to the closing table. He did just that and in record time - 11 days from ratification to CTC! I will absolutely work with Russell again and highly recommend him and his team to anyone in need of a loan officer. Thank you Russell and Grow Mortgage!

I am a first itme home buyer/owner. Grow Mortgage was amazing to work with! They were very knowledgeable and the communication was wonderful. As a first time home owner I had so many questions and they were able to answer every one!

I closed with Russell a few weeks ago and my experience from beginning to end was fantastic. Russell knows the market, he knows the trends, and he’s VERY responsive. The immediacy of his communication helped me make quick bids for homes going off the market within 24 hours of being listed. Without Russell and my realtor’s help, I don’t think I would have snagged the beautiful home I got. Thank you Russell, and team!
