What Our Client’s Say
I have worked with Randy on two occasions when buying and selling my home. He was a dream to work with and there were never any surprises at closing! I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants to be sure all your closing needs are met.

From the first day we applied for our loan until the day we closed on our new home, we appreciated the hard work and professionalism that was shown to us. We felt that Randy Forest worked very hard to find us the lowest rate and made the process very simple. We highly recommend Finance 1!

Several years ago we had the privilege of refinancing our home through Finance 1. We worked directly with Randy Forest . He was very courteous and helpful and a pleasure to work with. It had the feel of a team working together on our behalf. We continue to receive notes on special events and it is a great reminder of the joy we had working with them. We highly recommend them to our friends or anybody wanting personal and professional service!

We have financed/refinanced our mortgage 3 times with Randy. Our real estate agent recommended him and he surpassed our expectations. We have found him to be honest, knowledgeable, and responsive. He also assisted me with a couple of my questions long after the mortgage set up was complete, alleviating my concerns. Additionally, Randy helped us find another financial services professional. He provided several possible contacts and our recent experience with the selected referral was also exceptional. We highly recommend Randy Forest and Finance 1 for your mortgage financial needs. You will have an excellent experience. We have already referred friends and family to him.

We recently worked with Randy Forest at Finance 1 to refinance our home. Randy was friendly and professional at the same time. He was quite thorough and efficient in dealing with the various avenues required to get this done in a very timely manner for us. We have refinanced before a few times and this was the best experience we have ever had in getting the job done well and quickly. We are happy to highly recommend Randy to anyone who needs this service.

The guys are Finance 1 are professional, informative and really take the time to make sure you understand your loan situation, and also how they can help. You are fully aware of your closing numbers before your closing date with the thoroughness of these loan professionals. I would recommend Finance 1 to anyone that is looking for a loan to purchase a home or to refinance for whatever reason.

I am so glad that I was referred by a friend to use Randy Forest and Finance 1 to help me with purchasing my first house. I did not have any prior knowledge of the home-buying process, and Randy was very informative and knowledgeable throughout the whole process. He was able to get me approved above and beyond what I thought I would be approved for. In addition, he was able to get me a very low interest rate. Randy was very friendly and helpful, and I would gladly recommend him to anyone who is looking to purchase a home.

My wife and I had the pleasure of Randy Forest handling our home loan financing. He was courteous and responsive at all times, a true professional. He made everything easy for us by maintaining a constant stream of communication, providing us with clear and concise instructions as to his needs so that we could expedite the process as needed. Randy is extremely knowledgeable and caring, he even hugged us when we finalized our purchase. You just don’t see that level of service and support anymore. Thank you Randy for all that you do!

William & Sheri Pierce
As first time home buyers my wife and I were nervous about the process. Randy was more than willing to answer any questions we had and showed amazing patience and understanding. He treated us like family and made us feel more at ease with each step. We are more than impressed with the personalized service we received and have absolutely no problem recommending Randy and Finance 1 to friends and family.

Todd Dawson
I had the pleasure of working with Randy Forest in buying my first home using the VA home loan. Not only did Randy know every single detail in the mortgage business, he took the stress out of buying a home. Randy took care of everything with the loan while I focused on choosing what colors to paint! Randy made the whole process simple and we ended up closing over a week early thanks to his expertise! I am so thankful to have had Randy and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or refinance their home. Thanks again Randy!

Mitchell Sanford
Randy was extremely knowledgeable about market trends and interest rate fluctuations. He was also very personable and took a genuine interest in us as clients. He still sends me a birthday card every year. Thank you!

Randy was a wonder to work with, his attention to detail & his communication with us throughout our home buying purchase was above measure. He was patient, kind, and so knowledgeable.

Randy took a complicated process and made it relatively easy. Having him to deal with the complexities was a huge help.

John W.
I had the pleasure of working with Randy Forest in the purchase of our new home. The man is personable, professional. and patient. As we used to say in the Navy, he is top shelf, no dust. There were many swells in this voyage, but Randy was always there to help us weather the storm. Bottom line, he helped us and looked out for our best interest. I would recommend Finance 1 to friends and family. Family that used Finance 1 recommended Randy to us because they were so pleased with the service and results.

Michael Lietz
I had a wonderful experience working with Randy. No question big or small went unanswered and the questions were explained in a way I could understand. He was always available for questions. The day I put in the offer it was after hours and he was still hard at work for me to get me the maximum amount in my budget so I could win the bidding. He walked me through all the tons of paperwork that comes with buying a house. The coolest part was he drove to Lincoln to my closing at the title company to answer any questions I might have had going through all the paperwork and signatures. The assistance with the process doesn’t stop at closing either, he is committed to answering any questions I’ve had after I closed. You won’t find anyone better than Randy to help guide you through a complicated and stressful but exciting experience of buying a home!

Angela A
Randy, we can’t thank you enough for all you assistance on helping us obtain a mortgage for our home in Omaha. You made it so easy and you thought of everything, keeping us on track and making sure we completed all the paperwork in a timely manner. You got us a really great rate as well! Thanks again for all your help. We will be happy to recommend you and your firm to all our friends and clients who are in need of mortgages.

Randy Forest and Finance 1 were amazing to work with! As we looked for our forever home; Randy was helpful, knowledgeable and patient as we spent months looking at many homes and asking for many numbers. When we finally found the right home, Randy was quick with responses and always had our best interests in mind. We highly recommend Randy and Finance 1!

Chris Shives
Randy Forest was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. He made the process of buying a home very smooth. I definitely give him and Finance 1 my strongest recommendation.

Randy walked us through buying a vacation home; we had not applied for a mortgage in 26 years! The process has really changed and he was very patient with two people that are not computer literate, many thanks for all of the good advice and great help!

Debra Hebrew
I chose to work with Randy Forest based on my excellent realtor’s recommendation. As a first time home buyer, I was adjusting from being a renter to being an owner. There were so many questions about financing I didn’t know how to ask. Randy was professional, patient, and speedy in responding. Even though my closing and moving have passed, he is still available to answer questions that may arise. And he helped me to secure a great interest rate. I greatly appreciate his reliability.

Kaylene Powell
I worked with Randy Forest to get my VA home loan this last summer (2017) and he was great! He went above and beyond many times, even referring me to a place that gave me the lowest quote for home insurance and helping us with other small tasks. Thanks for all of your help in getting us our beautiful home!

Charlotte Hunt
We had a great experience with Randy. He was very “fatherly” to us as first time home buyers–wanted to make sure we got the best deal and understood everything. We will continue to work with Randy in the future.
