    The whole experience was wonderful. Clear communication, expectations, and advice. Closing was a stress free process and felt like a mutual celebration. I knew my loan officers were truly happy for our family and wanted the best for us. We love our new home!

    In addition to great communication and a user-friendly process with Loan Butler, I greatly appreciate the time Michael took to answer any questions I had. He was very patient with all my questions and informative.

    Michael ensured a two week closing date, despite a bank holiday, and made it happen! He was always there to answer questions and even joined a 45 min phone call to help us understand the full picture.

    We had a great experience and appreciated all of the communication throughout the process. This was our first time buying a home and we’re very grateful for all of the support we received from the team. Michael took our calls late in the evening and even when he was out of the office. Thank you all!

    Excellent communication and so eager to help! Cathy is detail oriented, which was greatly appreciated during our closing. Couldn’t have had anyone better to assist me as a first time homebuyer!

    The whole process was easy and Michael and Cathy were a pleasure to work with. The communication was just right - called when I needed to act on a task in the portal. I think we closed in record time!

    Michael and Cathy are an incredible team. I contacted them on a weekend when our family found the house of our dreams, and they were able to get us a pre-approval letter within the hour. Throughout the process, they were quick to respond, and helpful every step of the way. There is no other lender I would work with or recommend.
