The whole process was quick and easy on our end, and we were invited to her beautiful home to do all the signing, where we were treated as family. Our two kids were entertained by the dogs, and. life-sized Santa was a witness! It is clear Elise is "in it" to help people. I recently reached out to Elise for advise on what type of financing product would fit a need that developed with out home. Elise very kindly responded with places other than her I could go to for a product that would best fit our needs. I appreciated the honesty and time she gave in that situation. In addition to your mortgage needs, Elise is also a talented gardener and shares a plant bulb or two as well as advice! You've made a friend in the community after working with Elise.

Interest rates had fallen and we wanted to lower our mortgage payment and take some money our for home improvements. Elise did the work and was able to get our refi done smoothly.

Hans is both an advertiser as well as a columnist, and I do highly recommend reading his columns - Ask the Loan Man - on home loans because he's honest, straight-forward, and knows his business! On the personal side, Hans helped me get a loans on my house - first - to buy out my Equity Share partner who had been waiting 12 years for me to come up with enough money to buy him out. Patience. That was sweet and got me started on owning the house by myself. THEN Hans helped me refinance so I could fix the house - a 1942 vintage Russian River cabin that was literally leaning over on its posts, and the roof was leaking. The BIG Deal about his help is that I am, and always have been, self-employed and that's a challenge when getting home loans. Hans made sure I got loans that covered the costs of my current need, and also that I could afford. 30 year fixed loans because I couldn't handle risk. I appreciate how Hans held my and through the complicate process and made sure I understood every step i was taking. he made me feel secure. That's huge when taking financial risks. I've now owned my home for 22 years and am getting the much-needed work done on turning it into a real house. Without Hans to hold my hand through the loan process, I would not have been able to do this in a relaxed manner. I appreciate his skill and his personal style. And most recently, when my sweetheart Alan wanted to purchase a home, Hans actually guided him into doing it without him and without a loan (cash) because that was best for Alan's needs. That's impressive to me. He puts his client's needs at the top and that's a fact. Thanks Hans!

It took months of driving around and hunting and she never lost her smile or cool. She was very professional and friendly. Once we found the home that we were looking for, she went to work and made it all happen. She listed our home and it sold in a matter of days to a great buyer. She then worked some kind of magic against a very difficult sellers agent. She eventually got everything worked out and now we are on our way to our new home. I really appreciate the persistence, motivation, drive, energy, kindness, and now friendship. We are looking forward to our next property that we will be buying soon. We will be calling Milli Cannata. She will be making it happen again! In the meantime, I will be referring Milli to every person that I feel is a proper fit for the great and positive energy that she shares. Great job Milli! Thank you.
