I recently closed on my first home with the help of Katie and her team. As a young buyer, the process of getting a loan felt so confusing and scary until I met with Katie! Katie and her team walked me through each step and provided full transparency throughout the entirety of the loan process. I really appreciated the constant updates from Katie and her team to keep me informed! I would highly recommend Katie and her team to anyone looking to purchase or refinance their home!
Katie and her team helped me through the process with ease. I always knew where things were at in the process and I was kept up to date on any changes. Very smooth transaction all the way around.
