I did not know a single thing about buying a house, but I had a friend who did. She referred me to Jonathan, and listening to that friend was the best decision I have made in a long time.
I'd heard nightmare stories of people going to lenders and being told "you have to pay this, do that, wait..." So I called Jonathan about 4 months before I really even planned to apply.
You see, in that moment he really had no reason to help me if you think about it. I wasn't paying him any money, and in a world where time is money he was providing his time and expertise to me who really had nothing to offer for months to come.
THAT is the measure. He not only explained the process very clearly and kindly, but he followed up with an email for all that we discussed, assessed my situation, and sent me a timeline for the next 6 months. I was so impressed. Anytime I emailed him, he responded.
He also connected me to an AMAZING agent in Lauren Pratt, and together they made it a very streamlined process. Not once did I find it stressful, at all times I was kept abreast of things, and well ahead of time.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the first time we met face to face was at closing and he was super cool. He shared with my partner and me his love for non-profits and was really outgoing. Being in non-profit work, I loved finding out that he is connected to many non profits. He also does projects alongside them, giving back every chance he gets.
I would and will recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a mortgage loan. If you are just starting your home buying experience, reach out to Jonathan. You won't regret it! read more
