WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Very helpful, got me my FIRST HOME!

Laura was instrumental in helping me and my family get our first home. Being a first time home buyer she made me feel at ease and was with us every step of the way. She is knowledgeable, very friendly and felt like she was going above and beyond to make sure I got the very best deal. I even went to a couple other lenders to see if can get a better offer but one couldn’t qualify me and the other couldn’t match Laura’s offer. Laura, thank you from me and my family.

Dan And Stephanie K First Time Homebuyers - Conventional Loan

Laura knows her stuff!!

We were so fortunate to have been introduced to Laura when we were (almost) ready to buy our first home. Laura was so patient and worked with us for almost 1 year; from helping my husband get his credit scores up to be able to qualify, to educating us about lending and the housing market. She always had our best interests at heart, and she’s not afraid to tell us if we’re biting off more house than we can afford. She always made herself available …READ MORE
