Scott Drescher is a highly respected professional with whom you will work directly, not a telemarketing call center or an advertising team leader. Highlands Residential Mortgage backs up Mr. Drescher offering every kind of permanent financing one could need, including fixed and ARM, conforming, FHA, VA, USDA, jumbo and reverse mortgages. We boast quick and efficient in-house processing, underwriting, closing and funding for the vast majority of our mortgages so you are not at the mercy of waiting for somebody in another company to get around to working on your loan. There's a reason banks and mortgage brokers have bad reputations: they don't personally take care of customers the way Mr. Drescher does. Call for "pre-approval" today.

Scott makes mortgages look easy! Our loan closed on time with no surprises, no drama, no confusion, and a box of chocolates at the end! Scott is, quite simply, my mortgage professional of choice. I've known Scott professionally for nearly 15 years, and I've used his services multiple times during that period. There are three things about him that have kept him in my phone book year after year. First, Scott's knowledge of real estate finance is unparalleled. Single family, multi-family, investment, conventional, VA- Scott understands them all thoroughly, and he's always willing to share his expertise to ensure that his clients are smarter after the loan closes than they were before. Second, the professionalism of the Drescher Team has impressed me continuously. Mortgage loans are a complicated mess, but Scott and his team keep the stress and chaos to a minimum and ensure a smooth, on-time, and drama-free closure every time. Finally, Scott is selfless. He's a trusted adviser to his clients, because he puts their interests ahead of his own. More than anything else, this is what keeps me coming back. I recommend Scott Drescher, because I feel no reservation whatsoever telling others that he's the one they can trust.

Scott and his team were so helpful and informative during my first home buying experience. Not only was it a cross-country move, but I changed employers, and I was applying for a VA loan. A more complicated situation was no sweat for them and they educated me every step of the way. I had worked with USAA previously on a home loan that fell through due to a low appraisal, but I knew after that experience, I would never use them again. I couldn't reach my agent at USAA when needed, I always had to leave a message and wait for a call back. I had to apply for my Certificate of Eligibility (COE) myself, whereas Patty at Highlands took care of it for me. And USAA didn't give me attention like Scott's team. I just felt like another caller, papers to push around. Each time I spoke with Scott, I felt he was working in my best interests. He put me in touch with a fantastic Realtor and discussed different suburbs where I should start my search. After we talked about how much I wanted my monthly mortgage to be, he suggested a spot-on price range, and he would quickly run numbers for me if I found a house I was interested in. He watched interest rates and told me the best time to lock mine down. It was easy to put my trust in him because he always took the time to explain why and how everything worked. Once we put in an offer, the process moved quickly, we talked often and they kept me informed of everything happening. I would definitely use Highlands Residential Mortgage again and would recommend them to anyone who values care and attention, and close involvement with the process.

My realtor, Rochelle Fitzgerald, recommended Highlands Residential Mortgage when it was time to find financing for my new home. Happily, I listened to her. I worked with Scott Drescher and his team. They walked me through the mortgage application process, answered my many questions, and really made a somewhat daunting process easy to manage. I would not hesitate to recommend Highlands Residential Mortgage to anyone looking to finance their home.

Mr Drescher showed indepth knowledge of the industry and suggested the right course for each buyer and their financial needs. As a result, my clients did not use their original mortgage lenders but chose to work with Scott Drescher. Each one felt he had their best financial interest in mind. Though I've been in the business 13 years, I have learned so much from him and continue to learn.

I'm so very thankful that I was introduced to Scott Drescher. Buying my very first home would not have been possible without him and the others at Highland Residential Mortgage. Everything went so smoothly during the whole process. Scott Drescher actually cares about his clients and that makes all the difference in the world. Thank you again Scott!

Scott and Highlands Residential Mortgage have been a dream to work with. As first-time homebuyers, we were apprehensive and uneducated, but Scott patiently provided education, as well as patience and professionalism. He and Patty were truly outstanding to work with. They were thorough and continually offered advice and checked in––this was not their first rodeo, as they are experienced as all get out. And talk about quick funding! It made a truly daunting experience for us a positive one in our book.

Scott is a very experienced and competent mortgage broker, recommended to me by a friend. Great choice!! The paperwork, the questions, the details - everything that comprises the morass called "getting a mortgage" can really get you snowed under, unless you get a strong leader and team (wife Patty) to guide you and keep you sane!!

It went very smoothly and was stress-free.

My parents have been using their services for years and I will be doing the same! I HIGHLY recommend the Highlands Residential Mortgage team for anyone needing a home loan.

I don't have enough nice things to say about Scott Drescher! As a realtor, I've experienced a number of different mortgage companies from both sides of the transaction. No other company in Dallas has come close to the professionalism & level of service myself & my clients have received from Scott and his team. He is proactive & communicative, getting my clients to the closing table smoothly & on time. In the competitive market we're in, sellers know that an offer is only as good as the loan officer behind it. Knowing Scott is on board puts my mind at ease! Buying & selling is a stressful time, your loan doesn't have to add to it!

Honestly not sure we would have gotten our house with Scott and his team. We got set up with a local realtor who left something to be desired. On multiple occasions Scott/Highlands Residential saved our realtor from missing different dates from disclosure deadlines to various paperwork needs. On top of this Scott was extremely easy to work with and very responsive. We were first time home buyers and he was able to walk us through not only what he did but what everyone involved in the process was doing. Since we didn't have full trust in our realtor this was invaluable!
Description of Work: Scott and his team at Highlands Residential were great to work with and made our lives much easier. They really handled everything for us in getting our loan and the communication between the realtor and title company. We had complete trust with Scott and his team to fully take care of us!

Every transaction I do with Scott is handled professionally, accurate and quickly. I recommend him all the time to other agents and clients. We have been doing business together since 2012 and look forward to our many closings together in the future.
Description of Work: The mortgage provider allowed us to close on time and with quick responses and frequent updates for the loan. Plus, giving the client as many lender credits as possible so their out-of-pocket cash amount at closing was kept to the minimum.
