My wife and I worked with Chum to secure a conventional mortgage for our new home. Chum worked with us every step of the way right through closing. Chum was always prompt with his responses to our questions, and his information regarding closing fees were accurate, with no surprises. We highly recommend Chum and South State Mortgage for your next home purchase.
