Bought my home last year thanks to Kelly! Anytime I had a question or concern she definitely reassured me that everything was moving smoothly and in order. I spoke with 2 other lenders and they didn’t help much with how the process works and what I needed, felt like me and my wife were being brushed off. But speaking with her, we built a trust with and completely happy with the outcome of everything. And like I said everything was fluent from first conversation to signing.
