My loan Officer is Sandra Smith and WHOA! I am so glad I chose her. She was on a list with a whole bunch of people and I happened to want her. I've never met her or seen her before, more of my intuation. Out of all those people, she was the one. And, my intuition was right because she was always avialable to me, even when she wasn't, and she made things happen even when they seemed impossible. She pulled through for me in every way she could and I am forever grateful. She never let me down. It's an amazing feeling to know someone supports you through a process that is overwhelming. She provided not only her support, but comfort, guidance, knowledge and most importantly her time and she was kind. I enjoyed being under her and watching her do her thing these last months, which were tough but she managed and my family and I closed on our dream home. All Thanks to Ms. Sandra Smith! If I had to re do this whole thing all over, I'd pick her in a heart beat knowing what I know about her now. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Oh, she has the best laugh, be prepared to smile when you hear it.

Chris Strange is an amazing realtor that I have had the pleasure of working with. I watched his commitment to his client throughout the entire process and was amazed at how he fought for her. He is truly one of a kind and willing to go the extra mile no matter how difficult the requests were, he still explained everything to the client and made her feel like she was truly a part of a team. I would recommend him enthusiastically anytime... He's great!

As first-time homebuyers, we were nervous about the mortgage process—but working with Sandra made everything so much easier. From the beginning, it was clear that her knowledge, professionalism, and experience were exactly what we needed. She walked us through every step with patience and clarity, always making sure we understood what was happening. Sandra’s communication was outstanding—she responded quickly to every question, even on weekends, which made us feel truly supported throughout the entire process. It was a joy working with Sandra and we are so happy to have finally found our home.
