I'm a Realtor, and recently Traci was the loan officer serving the buyer of my listing: she really impressed me!
Traci knew her borrower, knew her business, and was willing to actually pick up the phone and communicate. In fact, all of Traci's communication was timely, accurate, relevant, and personable: that alone puts her in the top 10% of loan officers for professionalism.
But, if you are a Home Buyer, choosing a Lender, I can't overemphasize how important that choice is to your success, especially in a market like we are in, with intense buyer competition for scarce home inventory. Pro-tip: that internet lender who attracted you with the low teaser-rate, is not the champion you want fighting on your behalf when adverse circumstances arise in the home buying process - you'll want a Traci fighting for you.
Our transaction ran up against the delays and confusion caused by the data hack of FNF; and that's where Traci really showed her quality. The disruption from that data hack caused many many buyers to have their closings delayed and rescheduled, with untold inconvenience and loss to those consumers: some even had their home purchase fall apart; but Traci worked tirelessly to get her borrower's loan commitment, and she kept our closing on right schedule. When it's something as consequential as your home, that's the lender you want on your side.
I would gladly recommend Traci to my own clients, and if you are looking for a Loan Officer who will help you win as a Home Buyer, Traci Emond would be an excellent choice.
