Testimonials
During our longtime partnership with Floodplain Consultants, they have consistently gone above and beyond providing superb customer service. We have developed working relationships with their team that leave us confident that they will take the time to research each property and follow up with us within an impressive turnaround time.
Before our company met Craig Callahan and began using Floodplain Consultants Inc. we were concerned with the accuracy of flood determinations received prior to closing and with receiving updated life of loan updates post-closing. Flood Non-Compliance can be costly and we wanted to choose a flood determination vendor that could provide the accuracy as well as exceptional customer service. I think what made the biggest difference for us was that Craig took the time to explain what sets FCI apart from the other flood companies. He explained very specific scenarios and was very patient with our decision. He reached out to us, asking if he could help… but not in a sales pitch manner. We are confident and pleased in our partnership with Floodplain Consultants Inc. – Mary T. Sexton, SVP - BancMac /Community Banc Mortgage Corp. & Staci McDaniel, VP – United Community Bank
Our previous flood certification provider was not able to show the home to be out of the flood zone A although the home was clearly located on a hill or knoll within the property. The second situation involved a mobile home located within a mobile home park that is situated next to a large lake.Both situations were handled by on-site visits. That was great and it saved one of my customers $800 in flood insurance premium. That's a good way to make a happy customer.
The FCI staff is great to work with! Their web site is easy to use and response times for flood determinations are very good. Unlike other service providers, if a structure is questionable as to its location near a flood area, they will personally visit the site to make accurate determinations. They are also a knowledgeable resource for us when we have questions about other requirements of the flood regulations and provide our customers with a helpful packet of information when a property is determined to be in a special flood hazard area.
Examiners just reviewed several of our Zone A loans and commented on how they liked the documentation provided by Floodplain Consultants....and they mentioned they are seeing more and more Illinois lenders using Floodplain Consultants.
