I had an amazing experience working with Jeff Tisdale and the team at Direct Mortgage Loans. As a first-time home buyer, I had so many questions, and they never once made me feel rushed or overwhelmed.
Jeff and Cindy took an incredible amount of time to walk me through every step of the process, explain things clearly, and make sure I truly understood what was happening. They were always willing to help, incredibly responsive, and genuinely kind throughout the entire experience.
Buying a home for the first time can be intimidating, but they made it feel manageable and even exciting. I felt fully supported from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend Jeff, Cindy, and Direct Mortgage Loans to anyone.

Our Dec 2025 loan experience with Jeff Tisdale was very positive! Each transaction Jeff personally participated in was managed professionally and with great care. During every communication with Jeff, he was always focused on our loan process and results a 100%! We are "lifers" for Jeff and his team at Direct Mortgage (Cindy Petterson) to manage all of our future mortgages and refi's. Thank you DML!!

Jeff Tisdale was the mortgage broker on a transaction where I represented the sellers, and he was excellent to work with. He stayed on top of everything and communicated clearly and consistently throughout. He was always quick to respond and proactive about solving problems.
People often underestimate how important it is to have a strong mortgage broker negotiating on your behalf. Jeff absolutely understands that role and executes it well. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a loan. He will get it done

Jeff provided hugely knowledgeable, prompt, friendly, and valuable support throughout the process from pre-qualification right through to loan funding and close. My situation was complex, but he was my partner in finding competitive and innovative solutions to my borrowing needs, and in doing so turned what might have been an incredibly stressful process into one that felt manageable and excellently managed.
