    Mr. Donaldson was very knowledgeable, kind and patient. Mr. Donaldson took his time explaining the whole mortgage process from beginning to end. Which I truly appreciated. With the mortgage process explained in detailed, I knew exactly what phase of the mortgage process I was at. Mr. Donaldson did a teach back after explaining the mortgage process to me, making sure I had a good understanding of the process. He did need to explain how the title company plays apart in the mortgage process several time. That’s when that patient came in lol. I will be referring Mr Donaldson and this company to everyone I know who is need of a mortgage loan.

    Mr Donaldson was very knowledgeable with the loan process from start to finish. He answered every question I had no matter the time of the day. I was very pleased that my loan was closed 10 days before the scheduled date. I will recommend Shawn and Ruoff to all my family and friends!

    Shawn was very nice, friendly and patient with me. I am a first time home owner and her helped make the process a lot easier to understand and less overwhelming. He responded very fast and always tried to give as much information to me always. I appreciate him and everything he did for me during this process

    Shawn was there to guide us through the whole process. He answered all of our questions even if we asked the same one multiple times. He made sure we had a clear understanding and helped me and my husband feel comfortable in our choices.
