Testimonials
Jeff was amazing, he was always available to answer any questions I had and made sure I was up to date throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend him and your company to anyone.

Jeff Ditmar is the best! I've been dealing with him for years and that's why I keep coming back to him.
- Bernard M
Jeff Ditmar made the refinancing process of our home pretty painless. Hearing others talk about their experience I was expecting many delays and a lot of hassle. Jeff was always kind and considerate answering all the many questions I had along the way. And what I found especially wonderful was the fact that every time I called Jeff on the phone, he answered!! No playing phone tag at all!

I recently completed the "FHA Streamlined" refinance process with The Federal Savings Bank. I found their Staff to be extremely professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and responsive. Mr. Ditmar walked me through the process from beginning to end via Email and called me several times to help complete the process and to ensure that I understood the "How's" and "Why's" along the way. He provided personalized services, ensuring that I ended up with the loan product that best suited my situation and budget needs. Considering that the process was all done long distance until the Notary brought the closing documents to my house, I found the entire loan processing to be painless and easy. I would recommend The Federal Savings Bank to anyone who is looking to refinance!
You all have been so easy to work with and through. Thanks for taking care of me (and us)!

Both Sarah Deresinski and Jeff Ditmar were professional, responsive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. Jeff was accessible and took the time to answer all of our questions throughout the process. Sarah made the process painless, she was super detailed and we got everything done early. I would recommend both Jeff and Sarah, they were fantastic.

We contacted several banks to refinance with and decided on The Federal Savings Bank because we received an immediate return call from the Senior VP Jeff Ditmar and honest, unbiased advise. The process was very easy and quick because Mr Ditmar returned every call and e-mail promptly, even informing us to take advantage of a lower interest rate after the loan had been initiated. This is rare and appreciated customer service and I would highly recommend Mr. Ditmar and The Federal Savings Bank to anyone looking to finance their home loan with.

Jeff Ditmar was very professional and honest. He really did care to get the best offer for me as I was also dealing with my previous mortgage company. My previous mortgage loan officer was not being truthful and the guidance I received from Jeff set my mind at ease.

Jeff Ditmar was a real trooper throughout the whole process. He took over the application and took the time to explain everything that would benefit me. It was great to feel like someone was in my corner and he took the time to explain everything to me in a very professional manner. Jeff has told me that in a few months he will be giving me a call to see if anything has changed that would benefit me, and I believe that he will. He's a top notch representative for your company!

Jeff Ditmar is an excellent banker. He is caring and honest. He laid out all my refinancing options in a way for me to study each option, which allowed me to make an easy decision on how to refinance. I encourage all Veterans to ask for Jeff and to use The Federal Savings Bank to buy or refinance your mortgage. He is also very knowledgeable on VA home loans.

Just a note to say thank you for all your efforts in getting our loan done on short notice. As you know we were in a bind of having to move quickly and through the work of you and your staff we closed with one day to spare. Thank you.
As a side note our realtor and title company agent were amazed that someone in your position actually answered the phone when they called.
Thanks to you we are now enjoying our new home!
