Real clients. Real results.

Working with Matthew Davis was truly a blessing from start to finish. From the moment we began the loan process, he treated my wife and me like more than just customers—he treated us like people he genuinely cared about. He took the time to understand our needs, our goals, and what this home meant to us. Whether it was explaining loan details in plain language or helping us explore options that best fit our financial plans, Matthew made us feel confident and supported every step of the way.What really stood out was his dedication. No question was too small, and no hour was too late. He answered my late-night texts, returned calls promptly, and even dropped what he was doing to reach out when something needed immediate attention. That kind of commitment and compassion is rare these days. Matthew didn’t just help us buy a house—he helped us achieve a dream. We’re beyond grateful for his honesty, professionalism, and heart. I would recommend him to anyone who wants more than a loan officer—someone who truly cares about helping you find your home.

Matt Davis was so kind and attentive to our needs throughout the purchase of our new home. Very appreciative for all that he did!

Dalenea G

Dealing with Matt and his whole team was a pleasure. Most important thing is to stay on contact via email and/or txt and calls. From start to finish of the loan process, any and all questions were answered and all concerns were handled by Matt to the best he could. I really appreciated his effort and got the feeling that it's not just a check to him and does care about the client. Again, stay on top of checking emails, txts, and returning calls and the process can be quick. First time homebuyer, and from the very start of finding a home, was closed in 23 days from accepted offer. If you put the effort in and do your part, he will do his to speed things up. Would recommend Matt and his team to anyone, first or multiple time homebuyers. Thanks Matt, and thanks for showing up at the closing appointment as well.

Matt and his team are extremely hard working and knowledgeable in the real estate arena. This was my first home, so I’m sure that I was among their least experienced clients at the time. They stuck with me and made sure that my t’s were crossed and I’s dotted through the whole thing, but also kept me informed on what was happening. These are the people you want to do business with.

Joseph B

Matthew was such a great resource, support, therapist and now friend, helping my family and I get back to Indiana from California. For so long I thought I didn’t have a chance getting approved for a mortgage. I had given up on my credit thinking I was already in too deep. Matt talked me off the ledge and reassured me that we would be able to get approved for something. In less than 24 hours he was in touch with great news. Matt has even went above and beyond giving me advice and resources to help me improve my credit. Matt kept great communication with me throughout the entire process, working around a different time zone. He was very patient with all of my questions and very honest with all of his responses. I highly recommend Matt and will definitely be using him again in the future!

Having Matt work for us on our home loan, is just that, he worked for us in every aspect of our purchase. Matt and his Crew went above and beyond, even during hours that they were closed. There's always someone there to assist us. I could write a book about all the good Matt and his Crew had done for us when purchasing our home. After closing, they still provide helpful tips and suggestions about ownership and loan servicing. I am honored to know someone of this caliber.

Working with Preferred Rate Mortgage was truly an incredible experience. My broker, Matt Davis, along with Alicia and Sheila, and more, made the whole process easier than I ever imagined!! I was just a walk in, with not much of a plan, but they made it feel meant to be.. They guided us through every step, were fantastic to me and my family, and made it all feel like a walk in the park.
