Ms. Ummel,
On behalf of the Fire Department and Fire District, I just wanted to thank you for your time and patience. As we are all volunteers in the Fire Department and Fire District, we also have day jobs that can make it challenging to gather signatures or to quickly access documents. We do appreciate the grace you've extended to us as we navigated through the process. The equipment you and your organization helped us finance is truly life saving for both the firefighters who will wear them and the citizens we will rush to protect.
We are grateful to Baystone Government Finance! Thanks to you and your crew once again.
- Steve Parker, Chief
Hopkinton-Ft. Jackson Fire Department, New York

What can’t we say about Southeastern Equipment’s relationship with Baystone Government Finance. They are helpful along the entire financial process. We ask for a quote for equipment from Aaron Lindsten and it comes back within minutes. Southeastern is in a time sensitive industry and it is important to our sales reps to get quotes back in a timely manner. In addition, there are many times that these quotes will need adjustments. Aaron does not miss a beat and gets us what we need very quickly. The praise does not stop there. After an agreement has been meet between the customer and Southeastern, we normally will receive finance documents the same day to get a quick turnaround to our customers. Jamie Hoffman is unbelievably helpful. When there are questions from the customer, she will work directly with the customer to answer any questions or concerns that the customer may have about the financial documents. After the customer signs the financial documents and Southeastern gets the signed document over to the bank, it does not take long to get the deal finalized and funded. From the first step to the last step, KS StateBank’s Baystone Government Finance division gives you a flawless experience. A++!!

Whenever you see government workers using Bobcat equipment to improve the roadways and communities of North Texas, chances are Bobcat of North Texas is the dealership that made it happen. Many state and local government organizations also benefit from financing essential equipment using tax-exempt municipal leases, which is where the Baystone Government Finance division of KS StateBank comes into play.
“They are fantastic to work with….my #1 resource for tax-exempt municipal leases for our state and local government customers,” said Todd Lewis, who heads government and national accounts for Bobcat of North Texas and its 10 locations. “The ability to offer one-year municipal leases is really attractive to government organizations that can only budget one year at a time, and (Baystone) can structure a lease like that and manage the details with patience, flexibility and their understanding of government financing.” He especially praised the work of key Baystone staff including Linda Tiers and Jamie Hoffman.
