Client Comments

“I appreciate the simple PowerPoint and detailed discussion!”

“I really enjoyed the training yesterday!  It was one of the most understandable ones I’ve been to!…if that makes sense!  I think your way of training about injection / contribution is perfect!”

“Excellent presentation on the SBA Lender Portal!  I have started exploring the data dump and reporting that can be created from the information.  This webinar gave me additional insights that are greatly appreciated!”

“Really great stuff Lisa and Linda presented about the SBA Lender Portal!  I knew very little about it before, but NOW have a greater understanding of how it all works!”

“This was a really valuable webinar explaining the tools available to us through the SBA Lender Portal.  The knowledge gained through the webinar will allow us to better manage our SBA loan portfolio!”

“Glad I took this SBA Lender Portal webinar.  It will benefit me to run reports to compare against core data and identify potential risks!”

“I am so glad we signed up for this class.  Preston Group does such a great job!”

“Thank you, Lisa!  The presentation today was great, and I am already signed up for the next one!”

“The Preston Group always presents in a very positive way.  I always learn a lot from them!”

“Lisa Preston and Linda Rusche are excellent trainers.  Very knowledgeable of the Lender Portal and did an excellent job of reviewing all of the different components of the Portal and how our performance drives the individual ratings.”

“Especially helpful slides and excellent presentation.  Thanks!”

“Very good information and very thorough presentation.  Thank you!!!”

“Very informative webinar! This was, by far, the BEST webinar I’ve attended over the past several months. I will be attending more Preston Group webinars…you get a lot of “meat” for the money!”

“The presenters were clear and precise on the materials that were covered.  I do like the fact that this subject is broken down into three webinars, giving the attention that each section needs.”  Referencing:  Trio of Underwriting Principles

“We appreciate your diligent efforts on our behalf as you assist us to “perform” what you “perfect”.”

“Hiring your team is like hiring an insurance policy.  Thank heavens for you and your group.”

“Thanks again!  You are the most valuable resource I can possibly imagine.”

“Thanks again for the great work by you and your team!”

“The other thing that became abundantly clear to my Board is The Preston Group knows and understands the SBA 504 Loan Program, therefore knows what to look for.”

“When the financial institution decided to revamp our SBA program, we decided to get help from a group we considered the best in the business, The Preston Group.  We wanted to slowly grow our SBA 7(A) Loan Program, but at the same time, we wanted to make sure we set things up in a way avoiding the common mistakes lenders make when originating an SBA 7(a) loan. The Preston Group’s Credit Approval Memorandum (CAM), was just the product we were looking for!  The CAM and the various addendum’s, provided a detailed step-by-step evaluation for new loans we were considering and helped ensure we collected the necessary documentation as recommended by the SBA’s SOPs.  We were amazed by the results!  We were able to get SBA approval in as little as 3-5 business days, which allowed us to fund the loan on time and gave our borrower access to the funds they needed quickly.  The Preston Group not only provided an amazing product, but also backed it up with outstanding service and closely worked with our SBA team to address all our questions/concerns in a timely fashion.  I have come to appreciate how valuable this product is to a financial institution’s SBA lending program, and I would highly recommend the Preston Group’s CAM to every SBA lender in the country!”

“Your presentation this morning was fantastic!!!” 

“Thanks for the great training. We all agreed this was a great investment!”

“Thanks Lisa!  I try to always catch the classes you teach when possible and yes, I always get something out of it.

“We all loved your webinar!  We especially like how you explain the topic, easy to understand!

“Is Mom on Facebook?  I want to LIKE her!!!

“Great to have all the individuals representing different job titles in the room listening to your webinar.  It really helps to bring an understanding to the entire department of what actually transpires!  We have built teamwork with your webinars!!!

“Really great training!  Fantastic advice and guidance!!!

“During our on-site PARRiS Exam the reviewers were extraordinarily complementary, but one in particular who had completed hundreds of reviews said, “I have never seen a better operation!”  Thank you for your contribution in making us so good!”
