What Others Say About Us

I've worked with Ruby now on two mortgages and each time she has greatly exceeded my expectations. Ruby really works with you to find the right mortgage that helps you obtain your goals rather than just quote you the going rate like many other brokers. Through many conversations with both Ruby and Samantha we were able to look at my total assets and determine the correct strategy to building wealth and increasing my cash flow. Ruby opened my eyes to the valuable tool of using my mortgage to work for me rather than feel it is a tremendous burden. I look forward to our future business relationship and will always recommend her services to friends and family. Thank you Ruby. Graham Pratt


When we sold our home of six years in Texas to move to Arizona for a great new job, we were thrilled at the amount of equity that had built up. It was, to us, a lot of money. But it was only “Monopoly Money” because, however much it was we’d never see it, because we were resigned to the fact that we’d have to put it all into a big down payment on our new Arizona home. Because that is what we’d been taught to do.

When Ruby Mason first suggested we could make just a 10% down payment on our new home and keep the majority of the equity to invest as we saw fit, it sounded like one of those infomercials — way to good to be true. Then when Ruby showed us other home financing options, we were very skeptical. It all ran counter to the way we always thought about home financing. We had our own financial planner help us run the numbers and we were amazed that we could afford a great home and still have a sizable pool of money to invest in our future. We felt so smart!

As luck would have it, the job wasn’t so great, and we decided to return to Texas. Now that money is providing us a safety net as we transition back home. We recommend you take the time to listen to what the folks at Four Corners have to say. They will help you with more than just a mortgage.

Sincerely, Paul & Kathi


I just wanted to give you a heads up that I recently referred some good friends of mine to you as they are in the market to purchase a home and want to be pre-qualified for a loan before they proceed with the process at all.

They went to their bank directly first, but were not very impressed with what was offered to them, so I told them to contact you and see what you could do. Chris and I were very happy with the service you provided to us and we assured them that you would treat them just well.

I also gave them John Baumgartner's name to contact regarding being their realtor.

You and John made such a good team for us we are hoping they will have the same great experience!!

"I wanted to thank you for all your extra efforts in getting my loan. I felt like a valued customer throughout the process. Thanks again." - E.K., Durango

"Nov. 27, 1999 On Thanksgiving Day, I was thinking about all the things I have to be thankful for. Certainly the thing I feel most thankful for right now is being able to buy our house. That purchase would never have happened without all your work and creative energy. Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to working with you again in 2 years when we refinance. With gratitude, J.M." - Durango

"We were the classic "we want something for nothing" clients; no down payment and a less than ideal credit history, but with Julie's hard work and creativity we were able to buy a beautiful house with a reasonable mortgage payment. Now we are building equity in our house instead of "flushing" money on renting. Thanks Julie!" Sharon Blackett
