After discovering that the mortgage product we wanted to apply for was only offered through KeyBank, my wife and I had the absolute pleasure of working with Susan Regan as our mortgage loan officer!
Being first-time home buyers, we didn't know what to expect. There is a lot of stigma around mortgages and banks, and not having ever been customers of KeyBank we really were going in blind! We expected a joyless, uncomfortable experience and prepared for it...imagine our surprise when we walked into our appointment and met an upbeat, friendly person like Susan!
Susan is always smiling, very personable, and extremely knowledgeable. We felt comfortable with her immediately after our introductions, she is a people person and she really has a mind for numbers. She answered every single question we had, even sometimes twice when we forgot the answer, but she never was upset about it thankfully! Susan worked with us to figure out a good price range we could afford, explained everything involved in a mortgage from soup to nuts, and put them in terms we found easy to understand without ever making us feel dumb about it!
She also worked closely with our realtor from the time we got the pre-approval, and she was in touch with him and our real estate attorney during every step throughout the buying process to make sure we were all on the same page. We don't know how she managed to juggle all of that, but she did!
The whole process could have been long and painful, but thanks to Susan's hard work it wasn't! She is a real class act, and was always available by phone, text or email whenever we had a question or needed advice. She worked her magic to make sure we got the best mortgage product for us, at a good rate and she even surprised us by coming to closing with a little housewarming gift! We wanted to jump up and give her a hug, but at the closing table we might have looked silly...
Susan is an all-around rock star, she worked so hard for us and really made the whole mortgage process as stress-free as possible. We would recommend her to absolutely anyone in the Hudson Valley who is looking into KeyBank for mortgage options - I only wish there was a Susan at every bank! read more
