I just closed escrow today, and the one thing that I really want to do right now is write a few…read morewords about Patrick who was my loan officer. We went through two loans together in the past 5 weeks or so, the first one a super-rushed, 10-day-to-close loan that I was bait-and-switched into by another lender but which ultimately fell through due to low-appraisal failed negotiations, the second one being the one I closed escrow with today. You learn a lot about a person during trying times. Believe me, that first loan was a tough situation and very time-critical. Patrick pulled through for me in a time of crisis. All through both loans, Patrick consistently demonstrated commitment, expertise, steadiness, good nature, humor and wit, open communication, honesty, and leadership. I am grateful to have had Patrick on my side this time and look forward to working with him again for my next mortgage loan or refinance. Thank you, Patrick!!

The home buying/mortgage process is one of the most stressful things a person can go through but having someone who is ALWAYS on the other end of the phone reduces that stress dramatically. Chris is officially my 'mortgage guy', and I highly recommend that you make him yours too. If you have any type of mortgage needs you need to give him a call or send him an email, you'll thank me.

I was able to find a perfect NC home in just a few days. Tiffany guided me through the buying process and was always incredibly responsive and patient, helping soothe my worries by answering quickly. She was thorough, and helped navigate communication with the seller. She also was great at gathering repair quotes to help negotiate the selling price. We got a lot of concessions. If I had to buy a house again, I would definitely choose Tiffany.

Mackenzie and Meg of Ensemble Properties are superstars!…read more Working with them was easy, comfortable, educational, and very productive. We had an aggressive timeline after our cross-country move, and they both worked every bit as hard as we did to find our first house. The entire experience felt tailored, and I was always confident they had our best interests in mind and were internalizing our feedback. We couldn't be happier with our experience, and we certainly would not have been able to do it so quickly without them. Thank you, Mackenzie and Meg!!

He was always patient and took the time to explain every process throughout the entire process. Best part is they won't sell our mortgage to someone else so we get to keep working with him. Definitely recommend!

He answered many questions and had lengthy calls to assist us in making the best decision for our family. In the end, our builder's preferred lender offered incentives that Stephen said were actually worth "real money" and not just a shell game, adding fees here and there to make the offer look more appealing. He advised us to accept their offer and lock in the rate before any chance of changes. When we expressed shock that he would be so forthcoming when it didn't benefit him, he simply said that doing right by us would bring us back to his company in the future if we ever need another loan. He was absolutely terrific. (He also caught a major mistake that a big name bank made in their initial loan estimate to us. The big-name bank admitted that Stephen was correct.)
