In early 2024, I worked with Nate Schmidt for my home mortgage, and the experience was outstanding. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Nate made sure I understood every step of the process, answered all my questions promptly, and secured the best possible rates for me. As a member of the Chickasaw Nation I am thankful that we have resources and support from people like Nate and his team.

As the owner of Drippé Homes, Inc we build and close 100’s of homes a year. I understand not every closing goes well. We recently closed with 1st Tribal on a custom home for the North family. Dealing with Addie Parker (loan processor) was one of the hardest, most stressful closings I have ever seen! We have built and closed over 900 homes. Please don’t put yourself or your clients through the HELL that is the First Tribal Process. They are truly incompetent and have zero empathy or common sense.

I submitted a loan application 10 days ago and did not hear back. After 3 days I contacted the office and was told that the loan officer was behind and would get to my application by the weekend. Okay. I waited for another week and still heard nothing. I called back again and was told by the office manager that she had been dealing with a contract with tribal members which took priority because she couldn't have tribal members homeless. I called the corporate office to cancel my loan application. I am also a tribal member so... read more
