    Mary is fabulous- working with her was fun and we felt like we had an advocate working with us. She spent a generous amount of time answering our questions and coaching us at our initial meeting. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home loan!

    Mary was just so on it! She made sure I was calm and had everything I needed. It was very clear at both of my closings that Mary had it all together because the other homeowners both had issues that I didn’t because of the work Mary did! Also, I would like to mention how wonderful Cindy was! She came in on her day off to ensure my closing went as smoothly as possible!

    Mary kept in contact the entire process and made sure I understood how to navigate through everything. She was also available at most times I had questions with very few exceptions.
