  • Karen was great at advising us on the best options for our loan and was able to calm my worries about everything going through. Her assistant, Lacy, made a comment about loving working with our file because everything was so easy, no worries. That really made me feel better about the entire process. Let's be real, buying a house is stressful! Karen and Lacy were an absolute GodSend in putting my mind at ease. They understood what we were facing with the lender for the house we were selling and were a great resource and sounding bank!
