Glendon Grose

"When I look back on this year — a year when every headline screamed of uncertainty, when interest rates seemed to dance like restless fireflies in the dark — I think of the day I first spoke with Glendon from Movement Mortgage. And I realize that sometimes, even in the most challenging of seasons, there are people who shine like lanterns along the path, guiding you home. My family and I were caught in the same storm as everyone else: rising costs, shrinking budgets, and that ever-tightening band of anxiety squeezing your chest when you wonder if you’ll ever afford a place to truly call your own. We’d been renting for years, each lease renewal adding a few hundred dollars more, each month feeling less stable. We were tired. We were worried. But above all, we were yearning for the simple dream of a front door that belonged to us. From the first phone call, Glendon’s voice carried calm. Not the hollow calm of a sales pitch, but the measured steadiness of someone who knows this terrain like the lines on his own palm. He didn’t rush me through rates and jargon. He listened. Really listened — pausing while I stumbled through questions about debt-to-income ratios, down payments, closing costs. He explained each piece in words I could understand, never once making me feel foolish. There was poetry in the way he translated the language of mortgage finance into human language. He didn’t talk at me; he talked with me. We worried about the economy. Glendon acknowledged those fears. He didn’t try to sugar-coat the market, nor did he peddle false hope. Instead, he offered options, pathways, numbers, and contingencies — maps drawn in careful ink, showing how we might still reach the home we wanted without drowning under payments we couldn’t sustain. He worked with our unique situation — my wife’s self-employed income, my W-2, a few credit blemishes that had haunted me like ghosts. He found solutions. He ran scenario after scenario, never tiring, never brushing us off as “too complicated.” He was patient when we panicked. He was present when we faltered. He was persistent when the underwriter wanted yet another document, another explanation, another tax transcript. And in a time when the world felt like it might collapse under its own weight, Glendon was a steadfast pillar. We found the house — a modest place, but bright, with sunlight pouring through tall windows. It sat on a quiet street where my daughter could ride her bike and where my dog could bark at squirrels without bothering the neighbors. My wife cried when we stepped inside. But even after falling in love with the house, doubt clung to us. Could we really close? Could we afford it if rates inched higher next week? Would some last-minute lender hiccup destroy everything? Glendon was there, answering texts late at night, replying to frantic emails before dawn. He coordinated with the realtor. He soothed our nerves when we imagined worst-case scenarios. And somehow, he made the entire process feel human, not mechanical. When the appraisal came in low, my heart nearly stopped. I imagined the deal dying right there. Glendon calmly explained options, worked numbers, and collaborated with the seller’s side to bridge the gap. He fought for us without theatrics — just quiet, diligent advocacy. In the end, we closed on time. No hidden fees appeared like goblins in the final paperwork. No bait-and-switch nonsense on rates. Just honesty, clarity, and a genuine sense that Glendon wanted to see our family happy in our new home. The day we got our keys, I texted him a photo of my daughter running across the empty living room, arms outstretched as if she might fly. Glendon replied with a simple message: “Welcome home. You all deserve it.” In this economy, where fear and cynicism so often drown out hope, finding someone like Glendon felt like finding a lighthouse in a storm. He didn’t just help us secure a mortgage. He helped us believe it was possible. And that, to me, is priceless. If you’re thinking about buying a home, and you’re terrified by the numbers, the headlines, the endless jargon — call Glendon. I cannot say it loudly enough. He made the impossible feel possible, and he helped my family step into a new chapter we’d dreamed of for years. So here’s my five-star review, written with deepest gratitude: Thank you, Glendon, for helping us find not just a house, but a home."
