“I chose Bank of Cape Cod because I am  a small business person working for a locally owned and run real estate firm. I believe in using local services whenever possible. It’s my business motto. Carole Cook and her team were wonderful in guiding me through the process. As a realtor, I turn my clients over to the banking professional, not usually getting involved in the process. With a fresh, firsthand experience, I now have a renewed  appreciation for the lending process, the new rules and regulations imposed on your business and how it affects the consumer. Good service is also my business motto. The service was seamless with Bank Of Cape Cod. I have, and will continue to refer clients, friends and family to your bank.”
