I was blessed to get connected with Jeff Hammel, Vanessa and team to help me get my refinance completed. I was coming to them after much time wasted elsewhere and they were extremely kind, fast and informative. The online application system was very User friendly and kept me up to date electronically, along with my Loan Officer and Processor updates.
