U.S. Bank-LaShawnda Padilla-Mortgage Loan Officer, Pueblo, CO

LaShawnda did an excellent job helping my wife and I finance our new construction build. We worked with 2 other banks prior to working with her and they were very slow and disrespectful to our builder. Lashawnda did an excellent job making sure everything went as planned and was able to get our loan closed before we would have gotten an appraisal back from the other bank.

Lashawnda was a great help with our first house purchase, and to be honest I had a lower rate with a different lender to start with but Lashawnda was AVAILABLE and that was the difference. She was there to answer any and all questions, she has military back-ground, so she was familiar with VA and that was a huge help! We were in the most backwards uncommon buying situation with our property, but she was patient and worked with us through it all - she ended up getting us a lower rate towards the end, and our closing couldn't have gone more smoothly! I will recommend her to anyone who's in the market!

Over a year after supporting us through the home-buying process, LaShawnda continues to demonstrate compassion, patience, expertise, and generosity of spirit toward my husband and myself. Having never owned a home before, it is such a comfort to have someone like LaShawnda on our side, someone who understands the intricacies and complexities of attaining and maintaining a mortgage. We know whatever questions or concern we may have will be met with sincerity, professionalism, and an exceptional knowledge base. Thank you, LaShawnda, for being the most responsive and personable financial consultant we've ever worked with. Thank you for your commitment and your time. You have brought clarity and calm to a daunting and potentially overwhelming corner of our world. You are great at what you do!! Sarah & Ward

Buying a home in this market has been tough. First, finding a home that meets our needs, then the bidding process, etc. Two years in, we finally found the house that works for us. Through it all, LaShawnda has been absolutely professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and helped figure out a loan strategy that ensured our offer was taken seriously, and ultimately accepted. She has made herself available outside of "bankers hours" to accommodate mine and my partner's demanding schedules, been on top of the paperwork with friendly reminders of what is due and what steps come next. I ABSOLUTELY recommend LaShawnda for your mortgage needs. Best experience I have ever had financing a home, hands down. (She previously helped with a HELOC as well). She made the financial side of the whole process a breeze.

I love how easy Lashawnda made buying our home was. I waited for 2 1/2 years for my dd214 to get a VA loan and wad giving the run around by the VA. Lashawnda had all our information ready within days for our pre-qualified and when we needed a bigger Pre-qualified letter she wasted no time.
