A quick note of thanks to you and your team.  Made everything very easy.  I believe this is my 4th consecutive boat financed through Sterling going back to 2005. Much appreciated. ~Clint

Just wanted to let you know about the excellent loan process Doug Howell provided over the last 2 months. He was extremely professional and worked with the manufacturer directly to handle things outside my wheelhouse. He was in constant communication via email and text while meeting every timeline he promised—very rare these days! Thanks for […]

Cindy, Thank you for the update. And more importantly, thank you for all the help you provided throughout this whole process. There is no way that Lisa and I could have navigated this process without your help.

Thank you, Cindy! It has been great to work with you. Thank you for all your patience and advice along the way. When we started and in the rate environment, I didn’t think I would land at the rate where we ended. Thank you for doing so much to keep our rate low and manageable.

Thank you very much Cindy for making this such a smooth process for us especially being our first time to do this. Your expertise and quick responsiveness was greatly appreciated!! You came highly recommended by many and now we completely understand why. 

Matt Bedigian and his fishing partner have won a place to represent Massachusetts in the Bassmaster Team Championship at Lake Hartwell.

Cindy, Thanks, so much for all your hustle. You have been a pleasure to work with, in every way. Buying a large boat is a stressful process but your great communication made it so much less so. We will be sure to pass on the “good word” in working with you on the AGLCA forum […]

Thank you so much Cindy! You have made this whole process easy, enjoyable, and stress-free. You did a wonderful job! For sure let me know when you’re in the area as I live a golf cart ride away from the marina. Thank you so much again! Ready to hit the water.

Great job. Thanks for all your hard work and attention throughout the process.

Cindy, I meant to send you a picture of the boat in its new home on our lift and totally forgot! We got it home with no problems on Friday and have been working on it and cleaning it up in anticipation of next season! Thank you so much for all of your help along […]

Thank you so much, Cindy.   You have been fantastic, and I hope this is one of many boats we work with you on.  Thank you so very much for all of your help, and we will speak soon! Thanks!

And since Sterling Associates is in the business of finding solutions for our clients’ borrowing needs, it’s a primary concern of ours. Sterling Associates President Shawn Rogan has been watching rising interest rates at the Federal Reserve, but has not yet seen […]

Cindy, We can’t thank you enough, from the bottom of our hearts. We just arrived in Annapolis to the boat and it is everything we have ever dreamed of and then some. You have made this process seamless and we couldn’t have asked for a better team. You kept us ten steps ahead, provided us […]

It is not a requirement that the person helping arrange the financing on your new power boat be an experienced captain or someone who spends a lot of time on a boat. But it doesn’t hurt, either.  Having a good working knowledge of boats and the boating life makes it easier for our associates to […]
