I've had the pleasure to be a client of Commerical Bank both on the commercial lending side (working with Chelsey F.) and business banking side (working with Sara B). My experience has been concierge where I have personal relationships with both, and I've never felt like a number or had the need to "get in line" to dial through a system. My team answers 90% of the time when I call their cell, or calls back 100% of the time very swiftly. They've got me locked as a customer!

I wanted to share my 25 year history with Commercial Bank. A true partner in my business over the years who actually knows my vision and cares to understand our goals. 2020 was a challenge for sure but knowing that I had Chelsey Foster and the entire leadership team at Commercial Bank on my side every step of the way helped our group not only survive but actually thrive. A special thank you to Commercial Banks President Kevin Collison for establishing the high standard and excellent culture that seems to be missing in many other institutions.

Rick DeKam Commercial Bank of Hastings, and specifically Chelsey Foster, is a total superstar in my book. Not only have they been a GREAT business partner and previously lender for one of our medical portfolio properties, but they also were the very first of our lenders to contact us (when the state virus shutdown was initially anticipated) to suggest possible work-around's for keeping our loans current with them if or when our building tenants didn't pay their rents?! In 33 years in commercial real estate, I've NEVER had a lender call me to discuss possible work-around's. And while we ultimately came up with loan repayment reductions and/or deferral plans with our other lenders, Chelsey Foster's immediate and proactive approach was both refreshing and addressed a serious issue that we were not certain how we would handle. Not only did they call us with possible solutions, but also helped us craft a plan that meet our specific needs, which they completed and implemented within a few days of the state mandated shutdown, just ahead of the loss of a significant tenant's income. I call that LEADERSHIP - they blazed a fresh trail where other lenders were still trying to figure out what to do! Then, when we started looking at the Federal Government's PPP grant/loan program with great confusion, Chelsey again stepped in and provided us with wonderful proactive direction, which resulted in securing this funding within just a couple of weeks, which was a godsend for all of our employees who never had to declare unemployment during the shutdown even though they couldn't work. Therefore, I would highly recommend these guys for your next business or commercial property loan without any qualification. They still embrace the old concept that your lender is your partner and continue to prove it time and time again. Rick DeKam, CCIM MIDWEST REALTY GROUP, LLC Kalamazoo, Michigan
