Customer Testimonials
I just wanted to drop a note to express my gratitude to the team during this incredibly unique time. We have all been forced to adapt to new ways of doing business, and yet our ongoing relationship with our Acuity team members, as well as the Acuity leadership team, has continued almost as if nothing has happened. The continual support the team has provided through first our transition to WFH and then your own transition to WFH has been nothing but top notch. With all the additional expectations on the team, the quality of work has remained at high level.

I was very pleased with the work product from Acuity, particularly Acuity’s ability to make proactive adjustments to adhere to underwriting and policy guidelines when appropriate. I look forward to working with Acuity moving forward. Acuity did a good job of laying out the pertinent risks in each transaction. While identifying risks (and more importantly the mitigants to those risks) is not an easy task, I thought Acuity was able to touch on the major points in each deal.
