“Thank you again for everything that you helped us with throughout the process. You made it so easy to understand and I really do appreciate you always taking the time to explain in detail. I’ve heard so many nightmare stories about closings and mortgage companies and it was so nice to not experience that!”

“I tried unsuccessfully for six weeks to secure a PPP loan through another bank where I have my business account. They were not helpful at all, and it was difficult to even get anyone to speak with me. Communication was lacking, to say the least. So I decided to try to get the loan through First Hope Bank, where I conduct all of my personal banking. That ended up being a fantastic decision. Deena Smith made sure I knew exactly what was needed from me, and she always returned phone calls and emails very quickly. The entire process was completed within three days, which was incredible. The people at First Hope are extremely professional and they really took the time to help me through the entire process.”

“I just love First Hope Bank! Just a note to the Founder expressing what a beautiful/lovely Fall landscape display you have provided for your customers! It is a joy to bank in Sparta and I leave there each time with a huge smile on my face! It is the most beautiful bank around. There aren’t enough words to express just how delightful each and every one of your Associates truly are. It’s a pleasure for me to visit each time.”
