“The Mortgage Institute has consistently worked hard to get many people (who would normally not qualify to purchase) into their new homes. Their tenacity continually amazes me."

Tracy Joseph, A.E.

Sebring Capital Corp

"Believe me, you are at the top of the list. We couldn't have done it without you. It's pretty overwhelming to go through buying a house with everything involved. In our case, we were so fortunate to have people we could trust watching out for our best interest-really helped us relax!!! In a few years, we plan to do it again. Don't go anywhere....[We tell our friends that] Our finance wizard was Noel Cookman. He’s a friend of a friend, and now our friend too. He can talk with you about your situation and the realities of buying a home."

Corin Walker, Denton, TX

"I really liked talking with you and got the impression you were very knowledgeable, professional, ethical, and savvy. [After your last email] I can add witty and good sense of humor to your description! 2 traits I greatly admire."

Best wishes,
Linda Levine Schiflett, Arlington, TX

"Easiest thing I ever did. You handled all the details by phone. The only thing we had to do is show up at closing. Everything was correctly prepared. In and out in less than an hour. Great work."

THANKS.

“I have known Noel Cookman and his associates at The Mortgage Institute for about four years.  During that time, they have impressed me with their integrity and tenacity. They seem to always desire what is best for their customers and work hard to get deals closed. Additionally, they all seem to work well with our staff.”

Jon Hur,
Account Executive, Wells Fargo Alternative Lending

“It was a great experience working with John and Noel while getting a home loan. Going through the process of getting a loan is rigorous and tiring, and these guys helped me get the best deal while keeping me on top of the paperwork. The service is above and beyond, and you can expect personal attention the entire way. I would be happy to recommend these guys to anyone seeking a loan.”

David M. Pluss, A Happy Homeowner!

"The people at The Mortgage Institute went the extra mile to get my paperwork finished and approved for the best financing plan for me. The personal service makes a difference!!"

"Thank you for your hard work in getting our home refinanced. Mom and I are very pleased the way everything turned out. I believe God put you and Gay and friends into our life for a reason."

Retha, Bonham, TX

“Noel is a man of good solid character and work ethic. The loans he has submitted to me have always been done in a professional manner. His good reputation with his clients exemplifies the fact that referrals are his main source of new business. Noel has always been ahead of the learning curve . . .”

Jill Lewis, Account Executive, First Franklin

“My first closing with Noel Cookman was in January of 2001. He was then, and continues to be very conscientious with the work he does with each client. I have had many closings, both resale and refinance, since our initial contact and I continue to appreciate, and be thankful for, the way he conducts his business. Speaking as an Escrow Officer, his sense of responsibility to his files makes my job much easier. The amount of repeat business he has speaks well for him. I, personally, have referred friends and family to Noel and have never been disappointed in the quality of care and service they have received.”

Jo Cox, Escrow Officer, American Title;
Councilperson, North Richland Hills, TX

"Two years ago I wanted to refinance my home. Unfortunately, the home market where I was located had not appreciated as much as I had hoped. The timing was not right. A year later I called Noel Cookman at TMI and was surprised he remembered me and my situation. Noel agreed to try again. This time Noel and his firm went above and beyond to make the refinance happen. My wife and I were extremely pleased with how easy the process was. Noel and his team of professionals made the process an enjoyable one. Many thanks to Noel and is great team. I would not hesitate to recommend TMI to anyone looking for home financing."

Tom and Kerri Rohlf, TX

"Hi, Folks
Just wanted to say thanks for all your work. The closing went well yesterday, with no big problems. I look forward to actually meeting y'all in person one day. I'll be sure to recommend you to anyone I can. Take care."
