Reviews of Farmers State Bank

Jericho Heller

Wow, are we impressed with working with Josh at FSB! We were recommended by a friend and we couldn’t be more grateful for the referral. From the beginning of our process, Josh was knowledgeable, kind, helpful, and fantastic at all correspondence. He answered our many questions with patience and made the closing process so incredibly simple, fast and efficient! Top notch service and overall experience!

Abby Wiechmann

We would totally recommend FSB! We worked with Josh to finance our first home and we appreciated his timely responses to emails, weekly updates during the closing period, and phone calls when we had a list of questions. He always took the time and went the extra mile to make sure we fully understood our options so that we could make the best decision for our family. Thank you Josh!

Ashley Kautzky

I've used Josh at FSB for many of my real estate clients, as well as on my own personal purchase. Each time, he was able to get transactions closed smoothly and on-time, with competitive options and top-notch service. He's a stand-up guy with business ethics and a knack for what he does. Highly recommend!

Leslie Walck

Laura Wright

I worked with Josh Schrofer as my loan officer at Farmers State Bank. From the first initial meeting he took time to listen to me and my background. He was encouraging and positive throughout the home buying process. One thing that really stood out to me was his effort with communication. He was readily available to answer questions via email or text messages, especially as the closing date drew closer. Josh also kept me up to date on a weekly basis as to what steps had been completed and what was upcoming. I would highly recommend working with Josh at FSB!

Marisa Gibson

My boyfriend and I had a great experience with Josh. He was referred to us by our realtor and he made the process super easy! He answered questions timely and worked us through the process as first time home owners! Great experience!

Megan Kaufman

I was looking for a mortgage lender to help me with purchasing a home and Koda referred me to Josh, who was super helpful during the process. He provided the details I needed to know (lowest rate compared to others I looked into), answered all of my questions in depth, and had great advice on which length of term to choose that left me feeling confident I was making the best decision choosing FSB. Thank you!

Jenny Jiao

I worked with Josh (Josh Schrofer) on one of my first deals as an agent and have to say that Josh and the team are fast, friendly, great to work with and got an awesome deal for my client. I will be recommending him and the FSB team for all my clients.

Josh made getting a home loan so easy. He gave us weekly updates to ensure we knew what was going on and answered any questions we had along the way. Completely worry free experience. I will recommend him to anyone looking for a home loan in the future!

I appreciate the knowledge shared and options presented by Josh. His thoroughness aided me in making a confident, timely decision. I'll never use another MLO!

Jameson Klavins

After living in several apartments over the past 7 years of my life, I decided it was time for a change and I was going to buy my first house. It wasn't exactly an ideal time for me as a first time home buyer in this crazy market, but the financial side of things ended up being the easiest part by far. I worked with Josh Schrofer at Farmers State Bank and cannot say enough positive things about my experience. Everything about buying a home was brand new to me, but Josh was always readily available to answer any questions that I had. He very clearly outlined the week by week timeline of everything that was going to happen leading up to my closing date and it all went very smoothly. Would highly recommend Josh & Farmers State Bank to anyone who is looking for a lender!

Nichole Slabach

Alex Alvach was fabulous to work with. He made sure all the details were covered and was VERY easy to deal with. Great at reminding us when things needed done so we did not meet deadlines. Always encouraging and never demanding. I have recommended for my clients to use him and all the transactions have gone VERY smoothly. Thank you Alex!!

Mallory Gardner

I can’t say enough amazing things about FSB! Specifically want to thank Amy Ganoe, Josh Schrofer and Jared Schmit. They are an amazing team! They were all so nice and so easy to work with! 5 stars on the communication as well, seriously impressive! We were working with a different bank previously and had the worst experience, switched to FSB and couldn’t be happier! What the previous bank took months to accomplish, this team got done in two days! Amazing! Thank you again FSB! Will be telling everyone about our great experience!

Jonathan Musser

Josh was great to work with from start to finish. Communication is excellent as well as his knowledge of the available loan products. Very easy from start to finish. Would highly recommend Josh and FSB.

Jeff Judge

From the start with Amy reaching out in regard to refinancing my mortgage Ive had nothing but good things to say about my experience with FSB. Amy put me in touch with Josh and he immediately got work on everything. They both made the process very smooth and painless not to mention I got an incredible interest rate. I’d highly recommend working with Amy and Josh.

Mindy Nguyen

The staff at FSB were very knowledgeable, kind, and eager to help me out by answering all my questions. After a cross country move, I wanted to connect with a local bank for my needs and I am very glad I chose FSB. I would highly recommend this location to my friends and family.

Kalli Hoben

I can’t recommend Joshua enough. I’m someone that asks LOTS of questions and Joshua was quick to respond and incredibly informative. I appreciated the updates that we were provided weekly as to where we were in the process so we weren’t left wondering if things were moving along like they should. For anyone looking to buy a home, consider Joshua and the team at FSB! Thank you again, Joshua, for helping us buy our dream home!

Paxton groves

Joshua was excellent! My wife and received weekly updates and our progress throughout the buying experience. He was quick to answer any questions and closing was painless. I highly recommend FSB!

Missy Rinkenberger

Joshua and the entire staff at Farmers were outstanding! I was able to ask the questions I had without feeling like it was bothering Joshua. He was prompt and honest. As a process I knew very little about (it has been almost 15 years since my last home purchase) I was worried. Joshua was clear in what he needed from us for a smooth process. While I hope to have found my forever home - Joshua and the staff at Farmers will be my first go-to should that change! #homeownershipmadeeasy

Lori Bleimehl

Josh Schrofer went above any expectations we had for our mortgage and provided other options we didn’t know was available. Definitely puts customers first!! Always very impressed with Stacey Maas with helping us with a new car loan. Always answered our phone calls and is very knowledgeable. We are very impressed with this bank so we opened a checking account with them. Dakota Brockmann was so helpful helping me figure out the banking app!! Can’t say enough positive things about this bank. I know you won’t be disappointed!!

I had an absolutely outstanding experience with the whole team at FSB and my clients were at ease knowing everything was being handled well ahead of schedule and communication was clear throughout the process. I will continue to refer my real estate clients to FSB for a smooth mortgage process!

Dawn Thornton

Joshua Schofer at FSB helped us with every step of our mortgage process. He was always available to answer questions, went over details, and explained things very well. He cares about his clients and it shows. We look forward to sending friends/family his way when they need a new mortgage or refinancing on an existing mortgage.

Mark Winkel

Joshua Schrofer made the mortgage process as simple and easy as it could be. He was proactive with communication and provided regular status updates. I would strongly encourage anyone looking to purchase a home to reach out to Joshua at Farmers State Bank. Buying a house, packing, moving, unpacking, etc. is a stressful and time consuming process. Working with Joshua ensures that your mortgage won't add any time or stress to that process. He makes it as easy as it could be.

Greg Schliesman

Stacey, Nick and the staff at FSB have been great to work with throughout the process of buying our business. We started working with Nick when looking for an SBA loan. He presented FSBs terms which were by far the best we had received out of approx 10 offers. We then worked with Stacey to set up our business checking and other accounts. The are very professional and personal. A great group to work with!!

Jacey Gudenkauf

My fiancé and I were first time homebuyers and had the pleasure of working with Josh Schrofer throughout the process.

Working with Farmers State was awesome. Alex was extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. Being a first time home buyer I didn't know much about the process. Alex was always willing to explain my questions in depth and took good care of us while buying our first house.

Eric Vetsch

They might just have the best rates in town, and Josh Schrofer is an honest, hard working, and patient loan officer. He did a GREAT job explaining the process for my refi and saved me the most money. I would highly recommend him for a refinance AND for a home purchase.

Tom Lloyd III, DC

FSB has been a great bank to work with. I've used both personal banking and business banking services and I'd recommend this bank for either need. The staff are friendly and helpful. They are knowledgeable about the services available and how they can help the customer. The mobile app is easy to use and a great feature FSB has for customers too.

Gina Campos

I love walking into FSB! The staff is always so friendly and helpful. Originally, I met with the manager to ask if FSB would support the non-profit I was running, but soon after I left that position to start my own business. I had such a wonderful rapport with the staff that I knew that was where I wanted to hold my business banking account. Plus, they had all of the services that I needed to get started with my new adventure. So glad FSB has been a part of it!

Tim Diener

Alex did a great job the whole way through! Excellent communication and kept everything on track with deadlines. I will definitely refer Alex and should I go through this process again he will be my guy.
