Devin Murray is exceptional! Despite my having already locked in with another lender, Devin took the time to answer a plethora of questions, helped educate me in the jumbo loan space, and offered his services in thinking through some approaches to our loan given some weird complexities. I would recommend Gulf State Financial to anybody looking for a lender, and if I had to do it all over again … Devin would be our guy!

Working with Gulf States Financial was by far the best decision we made during our home buying process! Devin Murray is a hardworking, trustworthy, and honest lender to work with. I could not recommend a better company to work with when securing your home's mortgage. Devin and his staff will ensure that the process is seamless. We experienced exceptional communication that allowed us to make confident decisions each step of the process. We used Gulf States Financial to purchase our first home, and plan to continue to use them in the future. Highly, highly recommend.

Taking equity to do renovations made more sense over an equity line ultimately. We were able to basically get $40k for much less than what we were paying. It was almost “free money” once you to a look a the numbers. And the “payments” were much better along with the interest rate we were able to get compared to an equity line. If the way I said it doesn’t make sense then Mr. Murray will explain it in a way that you can understand for sure. This guy is trustworthy and dependable. Professional and knowledgeable. You provide him with the documents and information that’s needed and then worry no more. Let him do his thing. What he says happens the way he says it will. We closed in about two weeks roughly compared to a 5-6 week closing for a equity line. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I want to give a HUGE shout out to Devin Murray at Gulf States Financial. If you want/need your home refinanced, he is AMAZING. So incredibly smart, patient, and works SO hard to get his clients the best deal possible. We have used him with the purchase of the last couple homes and with this latest refinance that is saving us a TON of $$$. We had a pretty good rate before, but we have been amazed at what we were able to get with him watching the market and locking in a rate at just the right time.He’s incredibly nice and timely I’m with responses. He ALWAYS wants to get you the best deal possible And something that fits YOUR needs. We love Devin and we won’t ever use any one else!

Started out by getting approved for loan for 60 days because I thought the house we were building would be done. Between rain and COVID-19 we didn’t get finished and I was outside my locked rate of 3.5%. The loan officer advised me to re-do the loan application because rates had actually dropped. Re-locked with rate of 2.99% and closed about 3 weeks later. Very happy with the people at Gulf States Financial that helped me

We recently used Gulf State Financial for our first home mortgage and had the best experience! Devin Murray was extremely thorough throughout the whole process and was more than willing to explain anything we had questions about. He was also very accommodating. We live an hour and a half from the nearest Gulf States Financial and never once had to go there to sign documents. Everything was done electronically. I would highly recommend Gulf States and Devin for any of your mortgage loan needs!
