First National Bank Minnesota Long St, Mankato

As a first time homebuyer the process can be very overwhelming so it’s important to have a good team in your corner. Russell was a key part of making the process a lot easier. He thoroughly explained things and helped me to make the best decisions for financial success. I highly recommend him and am grateful for his help every step of the way. He was always available for a quick chat, and timely in all the paperwork. Thank you Russell, it was great working with you!

We applied for a home loan with Russell P Blaschko Vice President – Mortgage Lending. This guy went above and beyond. He is outstanding and very helpful. I highly recommend him. The loan moved very fast. He got back to me super fast with any questions. He made it easy to understand the process. Thanks again. We couldn't of did it without him! The receptionist at the front door was a pleasure to talk with while checking in to talk with Russ!

Russ was absolutely amazing. He was under pressure to make things happen quickly which he did. He was thorough and patient as we gathered the needed records to move forward. He had great follow up and ensure everything was buttoned up timely. He guided us to the best loan option for a first time home buyer which was a traditional loan. Thanks Russ!

I have been a customer of First National Bank for years, and this has been my third home loan. Russ Blaschko continues to be someone that I trust, he offers guidance, and I know that he has my best interest in mind. I will continue to be a lifelong customer.

Great local bank to do your business loans and banking with! As a multiple small business owners we have found First National Bank amazing to work with. Loans go through so smooth and everything is very organized and laid out making it easy on our end as well. Would highly recommend the team at First National Bank Mankato!

Great experience all around! The team made getting our mortgage a breeze. We really appreciate Russell and all he and his staff did to help secure our home loan. Thanks again for all your help!!

Just bought a house with First National Bank helping my family find the best options in mortgages. Really personable people, did most of the work and helped us understand the ins and outs of the whole process. I'm really happy I went with them for our mortgage!

I was referred to Russ for a home loan. He's the most condescending man I've ever met. He didn't listen to us on multiple details such as the loan amount. We were looking to be approved for a much lower amount than he tried to qualify us for and got denied. Another example, he assumed our parents were helping which was not the case. The man can't even write a professional email with proper capitalization and formatting. Overall unprofessional and a waste of time. We figured out a loan elsewhere after this.

Russ did a great job helping us with the purchase of our home. He explained the process, stayed on top of the details and communicated with us through the whole process. Good Job Russ!

Russell Blaschko went above and beyond the call of duty to help my wife and I purchase our home. Thank you! Also the lady at the front desk was just wonderful and personable. Forever in your debt, or at least the next 20-30 years :)
