I was referred to John by my mother in law, and I could not have been happier with everyone I interacted with (John, Emily, and Migdalia). As a first-time homebuyer, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect through this process, and they helped streamline it as much as possible. It really felt like the only responsibility I had was to submit the paperwork, then read and sign what I was sent (it was a little more involved than that, but they really had everything covered and I never felt like I had to worry). I was encouraged to reach out if I had any questions, and, when I did, everything was explained clearly and succinctly. Any clarifying questions I had that I felt might have been a little silly were answered with complete sincerity and without any judgement, which I appreciated very much. In the event that I purchase another property, or there's a good time to refinance, this team is the first one I'd go to.
