Great experience with Karl and his team! They got my closing done in a couple of weeks. It was always easy to get in touch with them and they were quick to respond. Super patient, kind and understanding with first time home buyers like myself (and all of our questions we have). Would definitely recommend!

Working with Karl was a fantastic experience. We had a unique situation and asked him for creative solutions - he was the only lender we worked with who actually listened to what we needed and delivered. He and his team were great from start to finish.
