I developed a dream, a goal, to buy a home in two years from September 2014. I started to interest myself in contacting local lenders/mortgage brokers to see how close I was financially to being able to be pre-approved for a home loan. The first two brokers I went through could not get me pre-approved for even enough to buy a one bedroom home in Ukiah, nor were they willing or able to help consult with me regarding my financial situation and my current credit score. They gave me no direction, no assistance and I felt helpless and was ready to give up. I was connected to David Palma REmax Relator, who then referred me to Deanna Parrish. I met with her in the first week of November and within 5 months I closed escrow on my first home! It only took 5 months (which I had originally planned would take me 2 years to accomplish such a goal) and that included me paying off certain accounts to raise my credit score, getting me APPROVED for TWICE the amount as the other lenders could do, finding a house to accommodate my large family, putting in offers on numerous houses (which was a roller-coaster) and finally having my offer accepted and having an appraisal and various other things done before closing escrow.
When I first contacted her, SHE immediately made time for me to come in and submit my financial documents for review. She is PHENOMENAL! She offered me suggestions at the beginning to improve my scores, answered so many questions at all hours of the day, and was nothing but patient and helpful. Deanna is extremely convenient to contact, through email, text and phone calls, even after business hours. THE ENTIRE first time home buyers process was easily facilitated by Deanna. Everything was based off MY convenience, signing papers, meeting at the office, etc. Deanna went out of her way several times in contacting other agencies and parties to help facilitate meeting the timelines. Not to mention, she worked extremely well with my Realtor David Palma, they made an excellent team. Any issue or potential problem that came up was immediately resolved by the two of them. She made me feel like I was her ONLY client, sometimes I would sit back and think to myself, "wait, she probably has a ton of other clients and is consuming so much of her time with me?"
Everyone at First Priority Financial are truly helpful and honest people! I never feel like I'm intruding (even though I know they are very very busy) and they are always prompt in responding and accommodating to my needs. I will, and already have, recommend anyone and everyone use Deanna Parrish at First Priority Financial for their home buying needs. read more
