Linda Gieseke

This was my first time buying a house. I had put it off for many years due to uncertainty and worry. From the second I made contact with Linda she put me at ease and walked me through everything. I had a lot of questions and no matter how many I had Linda answered them and helped me along the way. I really don't think I would have been able to do this without her help. She is a wonderful person to do business with and a genuinely kind and generous individual. I would recommend Linda to anyone I know who needs to get a mortgage to buy a house.

I recently had the privilege of working with Linda from First Federal Bank as my mortgage lender, and her outstanding service deserves the highest praise. From the outset of my home-buying journey, Linda's kindness, expertise, and efficiency shone brightly, making the process both seamless and rewarding. One of Linda's most commendable attributes is her ability to explain every facet of my loan comprehensively. As a first-time homebuyer, I had numerous questions and uncertainties, but Linda's patient guidance ensured that I grasped each detail, from loan terms to associated fees, with clarity and confidence. Linda's collaboration with my realtor was exemplary. Their synergy not only streamlined the process but also instilled a sense of assurance and trust in me. Linda's professionalism and adeptness complemented my realtor's efforts seamlessly, resulting in a remarkably efficient home-buying experience. What truly distinguishes Linda is her unwavering commitment to securing the best possible terms for her clients. Not only did she negotiate a highly competitive interest rate on my behalf, but she also orchestrated a scenario where I received money back at closing—an unexpected but immensely appreciated benefit. As a military veteran transitioning to civilian life, finding a permanent home for my family held profound significance. Linda's steadfast support and guidance throughout this journey were invaluable. Her dedication, meticulous attention to detail, and genuine concern for her clients exemplify the caliber of service that sets First Federal Bank apart. In summary, I wholeheartedly endorse Linda from First Federal Bank to anyone seeking a mortgage lender who surpasses expectations in every regard. Thank you, Linda, for your exceptional efforts in helping my family and me realize our dream of homeownership.

Linda called me and I told her I was already in cahoots with one of those big name, pumping out the loans like a factory worker. The guy kept trying to make me laugh like he was a comedian. Then Linda called me and immediately sounded way more professional but of course I was skeptical. Long story short she was always on top of whatever needed completion when I was going through one house after another as things with the homes themselves weren’t working out. She got me the best rate that could be had during April/May of 2023. She very easy to speak with and again very knowledgeable. If you pass her up you’re a fool.
