As a busy realtor in Auburn, CA, I need a strong team to refer my clients to. There are many good and reputable lenders out there to choose from, and I have worked with many of them. There are also some that aren't so great. Several months ago I sat down with Mikki to see what she could offer my clients. I liked what she had to say and so I gave her a try. What I found is Mikki is a hands-on lender who follows her clients through the entire process. Many lenders have a "team" and so the buyer gets passed from one person to the next throughout the process. Often the file moves to other departments in other areas for underwriting and other steps in the process. It wasn't until my husband and I went through the refinance process ourselves that we saw firsthand how frustrating this can be. With Mikki's company, Alpine Mortgage, the process stays in the building so she can walk over to someone's desk to check on status on a loan. Even if a buyer has some credit challenges that need to be cleaned up before they are able to qualify for financing, Mikki is eager and able to help get that client's credit score where it needs to be so they can qualify and buy a home. I highly recommend Mikki, especially for people looking for professionalism and that personal touch. read more
