While my initial conversations with that lender started out well, and I found him to be charming and funny, after our non-contingent offer on a home was accepted I was shocked by the differing numbers, quotes, and estimates of down payment and cash to close figures. On a tight budget with our first home, I found this to cause me significant distress and anxiety. Enter Dianne (2-3 weeks til closing), who salvaged my sense of trust, brought joy back to the process of buying our first home, and stayed consistent and clear from beginning to end. Her team was efficient, friendly, and effective. I cannot recommend Dianne & her team more highly. I am so incredibly grateful to Dianne for taking on our complex situation and moving us toward close with grace, nimbleness, effectiveness and speed. I could only wish I had started the process with her. Thank you, Dianne!

In 2021, I began house hunting and was disappointed with…read moremy initial lender, as big commercial companies often prioritize their wealthy clients, which wasn't the case for me. I was introduced to Nicole through Feagley Realtors during the pandemic when getting immediate help from a lender was challenging due to high demand. Nicole promptly handled my paperwork and assisted me in securing a very good first loan as a first-time home buyer. The remarkable part is that it was all done over the phone and email; I only met Nicole in person after the closing. Fast forward two years later, I returned to Nicole's to strategize my second loan. Without the advice and attention Nicole provided the second time around, I'm unsure if I could have obtained another excellent loan for a second property. Nicole and her team worked wonders for a blue-collar worker like myself, hailing from Richmond with little money but a dream. I'll forever be grateful to Nicole and her team for turning my real estate dreams into reality. I hope to return to her office for loan #3 when the time is right, God willing. I strongly encourage you to consider talking to my lender. Honest, Reliable and down to earth person!

But more than that, I think Alex took the time to learn who we were personally, what we really wanted for our lifestyles in this process, while maintaining a light-hearted but professional rapport with us. I was really pleased with the experience of working with Alex and the rest of her team and would not hesitate to recommend them.

By the time we put in an offer on the home we recently closed on she had switched companies to Guaranteed Rate. We decided to make the transition with her as we had experienced great communication with her up to that point. As nervous first-time home-buyers Angela made us feel comfortable with the entire process from start to finish. She is highly responsive, reliable, easy to talk to, and overall professional. Throughout our home-buying experience, Angela made herself available to answer all our questions through text, call, or email all in a timely manner. Our experience with her was always clear and straightforward. Angela and her team helped make a stressful process easy and enjoyable. On the day we closed escrow we even got a surprise in regards to getting some money back from the closing costs which was an added bonus and speaks highly about the hard work and effort Angela puts into helping her clients get the best rate possible. We feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with Angela and her team. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience on the purchase of our first home. If you're looking to purchase a home or refinance and looking to have the same experience we had, I would highly recommend selecting to work with Angela. Please do not hesitate to contact her even if you just have questions, Angela also speaks Spanish. Our experience first began out of curiosity and now we are living in our first home all thanks to Angela, her team, and our amazing realtor Chris Strange whose contact information I will also list below.
