Lavonte was absolutely exceptional! He was knowledgeable, professional, and passionate throughout the entire process. As first-time homebuyers, having someone who was patient, understanding, and willing to walk us through every step made all the difference. He made sure we understood each aspect of the process, helped us navigate every hurdle, and ultimately helped us reach our goals and successfully close on our first home. I cannot thank him enough for his dedication, professionalism, and genuine commitment to making this experience a success. Highly recommend!

Our loan officer was very honest with the whole process. He helped us to make an informed decision rather to sell and buy a new house or to refinance. He helped talk us through what will be our best option to do? He did not sugarcoat anything and was forthcoming with all information that would be needed. Our loan documents were very accurate. Especially when it came down to closing, they matched. There was no surprises even up to the closing. Lavonte and Vanessa was very available to answer any questions. They did not make us feel like a burden. They wanted to make sure that we had everything that we needed all the way down to closin. Even called after closing to make sure that we felt great in our decision and to let us know that they were always here if we need them.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Ruoff Mortgage and Lavonte Robinson. Buying a home can be stressful, especially as a first time homebuyer, but Lavonte made the whole process so much easier. He was always there to answer my questions, kept me updated, and made sure I understood everything along the way. He went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly, and I’m truly grateful for all his help. I would absolutely recommend Lavonte and Ruoff Mortgage to anyone looking to buy a home or refinanc.
