So patient, calm, it was a lengthy process, I will do the 203k loan again. I loved every moment I spent working with him.
You provided us with all the tools and info we needed as first time home buyer’s and walked us through each step.
Very transparent. No surprises. Listed all items I needed for the loan and kept in contact every step of the way via email or phone calls. Everyone from start to finish provided great customer service. Thank you!
Great communication every step of the way.
