Reviews

"Process was very smooth and very informative throughout, which I appreciate greatly as I had a ton of questions!"

"To begin, we were moving across country with short notice and the seller required a 30-day closing. I haven’t experienced getting a mortgage in over 30-years…OMG it’s changed a lot! I am not even exaggerating when I say that we would not have accomplished this without the exceptional experience that Rhonda brought! After we signed and locked the 2023 high interest rate, days later there was a significant dip in the rates and Rhonda relocked us at the lower rate! What an unexpected gift. I don’t know anyone else who would go out of their way to do that for a client. Not only is she a Pro, but she’s a joy to work with and also guided us through with lots of patience. 5-STARS all the way!"

"Rhonda was very helpful and easy to work with. In addition, if I had questions or concerns, she answered them. I like how she did like webinars throughout the process. Most important she answered my calls or called me back right away."
