I got a car loan from TEGFCU and went back when it was time to buy a house. Jeff Shields was an unbelievable resource and advocate throughout the process. He went above and beyond, even recommending a homebuyer grant program I didn’t know about, even though it meant more work for him. I feel really lucky that he was on my team.
I got a mortgage through TEGFCU to buy a house with my dad, both of us first time homeowners. WE were totally new to the dizzying bureaucracy of home loans and purchases. The TEG team (Jeffrey Shields, Ellen Gerstner, and Laura Scampoli) walked us through everything with respect and patience. They helped us with the paperwork we were totally unprepared for, explained what to expect for closing costs and recommended lawyers and agents for every stage of the complicated process. Jeffrey even spent time on the phone explaining loan options for a house we didn’t end up buying. It really felt that they were there to help us and not to make money off of us.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jeffrey Shields with TEG to apply for a mortgage for my home. Right out of the gate, he was dedicated and committed to what I was looking for and couldn’t have made the process any smoother. Not like he knew me, but he treated my like he did and was there for every question I had! He’s very passionate about his profession and always detailed right down to every little fact or dollar amount or input I seeked. I’d recommend Jeffrey Shields if you’re applying for a mortgage specifically a first time homeowner like myself. He really made the process flow with so much ease so little stress and very happy I chose Jeff with TEG to purchase my lake house.
Jeff was invaluable in helping me get into my first condo. He was able to hook me up with the HDP grant that changed the game entirely. Not to mention he was always easily reachable and able to answer any questions I had. Choose TEGFCU and ask for Jeffrey Shields!
