My experience with the Simmons Team was absolutely phenomenal. My direct point of contact was Katie, and she delivered on everything we had discussed. To me, the most important and impressive quality about her was/is her response rate. Sometimes I felt like she would respond back to me before I even send my email... It is my pet peeve when companies slack on the communication, but I didn't experience that AT ALL with the Simmons Team; the communication was top notch. I am a 25-year old college graduate who moved back to his parents' house after college to save some money. My parents and I had been renting in Mclean, VA for about 10 years before we met Katie last year. We wanted to stay in McLean, but we were worried that we wouldn't get accepted for the loan. Therefore, I went to Katie and explained to her the entire situation. Before I knew it, Katie was already helping us out and I loved every minute of it The Simmons Team's "in-house processing" ability puts them way above the competition. I seriously cannot emphasizes the timely manner they work in, as well as the overall efficiency of the Team. Finally, I am a very family-oriented person and the fact that the Simmons Team is made up of 3 loving sisters completely warms my heart. Katie invited my entire family out to her lovely home and cooked a delicious meal for us... I don't like to speak for other companies because I don't know, but I would highly bet not a lot of companies would do that. Thank you all for helping my family and I find our home. We are forever grateful to your team and excellent service. read more

Lindsay, Modesta and the rest of the team were fantastic to work with. I had initially sent inquiries to a few different lenders and Lindsay was quick to respond and immediately provided me with the information I was looking for. Lindsay and her team continued to be responsive and knowledgeable the entire process. They were instrumental in helping my wife and I get the home we really wanted. We hit a dead end with another lender that we had used previously and were disappointed with their significantly delayed responses and lack of information. We started to fear that the home we wanted the most was going to slip away from us. Until we reached out to Lindsay, received the right information, toured the house and put an offer in all in the same week. When we became stuck in a multiple bid situation late Sunday, Lindsay continue to provide revised letters throughout the evening. Between the Simmons Team and Rob Carter Group, couldn't have asked for a better lender and real estate team to work with. read more

My boyfriend just purchased his first home when we first started dating, so I am well aware as to how stressed he was during the process. That said, any moment of relief and joy, there were 2 common denominators. His real estate agent, whom he was friends with, and The Simmons Team. Now I haven't purchased a home, so I wasn't entirely sure as to what was so difficult as far as choosing a Mortgage Broker but, as he went through the process and discussed with me, I realized that there are many brokers out there that are....shady. That wasn't the case with the Simmons team and, I got to witness their professionalism and generosity first hand when he closed on his him and they also gave him a gift as a congratulations! How great and sincere is that!! I later come to find out, that this was not just his home he was closing on but soon to be our home and I personally can't thank the Simmons team enough for helping him, and us, through this strenuous process. Thank you!! read more

Katie Simmons Hickey is THE absolute best mortgage provider in the DC, MD and VA market space! Her professionalism, breadth of knowledge, resources and attention to detail are unparalleled. She and her team (The Simmons Team) at Cross Country Mortgage are best in class. They are efficient, attentive and available 24/7. They are experts in their respective fields and cater to all clients with aplomb-be it first-time home buyer, move-up buyer, investor client, sophisticated multi-home buyer or luxury/upper brackets buyer. Katie provides EVERY client with white glove service and treats every client as if that client is her only client. What's more, she makes my job as a Realtor feel like a walk in the park. I NEVER have to be concerned about a loan closing and/or the loan settling on time. My buyer clients (seller clients too!) love working with Katie. I can not recommend Katie more highly. You as a client, or as a Realtor, will not be disappointed! read more

I have done 3 purchases and 4 refis over the years, and my experience doing a purchase through the Simmons Team was the easiest and most satisfying of all! Katie and Stephanie guided us through every step of the process, explained the sometimes arcane ins-and-outs of the home purchase process in a way we could understand, provided easy-to-use online tools for document submission and review, gave us clear instructions throughout, and promptly and clearly answered our questions. Everything was straightforward and hassle-free, from first contact through closing. The customer experience was just top-notch. And to top it all off, we got a better rate and terms than we expected having looked at the market rates ahead of time. It was a pleasure working with the Simmons Team. We are hoping we are now in our forever home, but will definitely be a return customer if we are ever in the market again! read more

The Simmons Team is top-notch and the only way to go. They put me through underwriting in less than 24 hours so that I could remove the financing contingency from my offer and also were able to close the deal in 2 weeks. This is unprecedented and absolutely contributed me to getting the offer on a highly coveted property with double digit offers after only 1 day on the market. They are professional and efficient. You cannot go wrong. I've worked with other lenders in the past and nobody has even come close to offering the level of service that I received from Katie and her team. Look no further, they will get the job done for you with no hiccups. It was an absolute pleasure to work with them from start to finish. read more

Best in the business by far. I hit some rough patches with another company that was not allowing me to get the house my wife and I built. Even after jumping through all the hoops. DK Mortgage saved all our hard work by working hard (these ladies working 12+ hours shifts to make us close on time). My wife and I are expecting a baby soon and wanted to get into the house to set up. They made it happened for us. We couldn't be more happier with their services. I will use them to refinance both my properties when this crazy economy goes back to normal. I already told all my friends about DK Mortgage and they are working with them as well. Once again thank you so much for helping our family achieve our dream house. read more

This is one of the easiest 5 star reviews I have ever given. Working with Katie and the Simmons team was one of the greatest experiences I've had in customer service and execution. It was my fiance and I's first home buying experience, and even though we required a lot of hand-holding and explaining, they were patient, informative, and at the end of the day, the greatest value we could have asked for. From their insanely quick response time, to their professionalism, and even the in-house credit repair... we were absolutely blown away. Don't hesitate to call upon Katie and the Simmons team to make sure you're giving yourself the best chance at winning your deals! They'll become your go-to forever! read more

We worked with Katie and her colleagues (Mike) for months while trying to find our first home. Katie was always available to talk and responded quickly consistently. Once we finally found our dream home, not only did she offer the best rate/loan options, we closed in about three weeks, which was amazing!! I was so happy we found the Simmons Team and Katie, as they provided a truly personal approach while we made the biggest purchase of our lives! They always had super quick turn around times with our offer letters and pre-approval letters. I recommend this team as they have great rates and loan terms, and have amazing customer service. Thanks Katie and everyone at the Simmons Team!! read more

A few months ago my wife and I purchased our first home. I do not usually take time to write reviews online but we had a really great experience working with Katie and the Simmons Team. Their service delivered a significant result. They took us through the process step by step and we had fun in the process. We went from contract to closing in 14 days!! We still cannot believe it. They are the quickest and have incredible customer service. We were not the highest offer and there were 4 or 5 other offers on our home. They are the team you need when you see the home that you want. When you need a loan officer you need to call The Simmons Team! Tommy and Karen read more

I had an outstanding experience working with Lindsay Simmons and her team. They were absolutely perfect throughout the entire loan process. Lindsay was patient, professional, and incredibly thorough--she explained every step clearly and made sure I always felt informed and confident. Her team was equally impressive: responsive, organized, and clearly dedicated to providing exceptional service. Together, they made what could have been a stressful process smooth and simple. I truly appreciate their hard work and support. I highly recommend Lindsay Simmons and her team to anyone looking for a seamless, professional, and trustworthy lending experience. Shervin read more

I'm a realtor and this team is one of the best lenders out there! Their rates and fees are super competitive and Katie and her team can close a loan in less than 2 weeks! They have staff than can provide credit help to get scores up for my clients who need a little push in that area. Her team is super responsive and I always know the status of my clients' loans. They collect docs ahead of pre approval so my clients are able to beat out other offers since they are fully approved ever before we submit an offer. Her team makes me look good as a realtor so I'm happy to refer them! read more

Lindsay and her team are fantastic to work with, very professional and responsive. It took me a few months to finally find a house, Lindsay's team was always quick to get me preapproval letters, most of the time within a few hours. When it was time to close, Lindsay was able to match the lowest rate I found online, but I did have to pay for a few points, which I thought was money well spent when I considered how much time and effort they have put in for me up to that point. They more than deserved my business and my loyalty. A top notch team to work with from top to bottom. read more

My husband and I had the best experience working with Lindsay and Stephanie! We were in many competitive situations and Lindsay offered to write personalized notes to the sellers as well as call agents for us to make sure that they felt comfortable with our offer. No matter what time of day (or night) it was, Lindsay quickly turned around preapproval letters for us- even on holiday weekends. We ended up winning an offer thanks to Lindsay's quick turnaround time with our preapproval letter. We had such a great experience working with The Simmons Team and highly recommend them! read more

The Simmons Team was so helpful with financing my condo. It was a long process of finding the right place and they were so patient always making sure I had an up to date pre-approval letter. Once I was ready to move forward with my condo, they were so quick with everything and always responsive to email and calls. My home buying process was somewhat unique in that I was purchasing directly from the seller with no agent, The Simmons Team made me feel like I wasn't doing it alone and helped me through every step. Super friendly, easy to work with. Will definitely use again!! read more

As a 24 year old college graduate, this was the biggest and scariest initiative I've had to take in my life. I can't stress how nervous I was prior to meeting Katie. She introduced me to her partner and sister Lindsay as well as their entire team. At that point, I knew I was in good hands. Later on, my feeling was even further confirmed. The customer service is just absolutely phenomenal. I don't think I can recall a single time where my phone call or text message wasn't answered. Sincerely, thank you for everything you have done for my family and I. read more

Lindsay and her team at Caliber were absolutely incredible. Client Service is EXTREMELY important to me and I must say It's one of the best I've ever had. Communication was constant. For a moment we didn't think it was going to work financially (for me to purchase my dream home) and Lindsay worked extremely hard to eventually find something that fit me well. Without Lindsay and her team, I'm fairly confident I would not be moved in and purchasing furniture for my new home. Thanks to the entire team! read more

I was referred to the Simmons Team by another loan company who could not get a loan for us. The Simmons Team got it done at a very good interest rate. Later the Simmons Team was able to get me an even better loan at a better interest rate, with much less interest and more principal paydown per payment, a much lower payment and manageable closing costs. Their secure documentation technology is so easy to use, and the title company they worked with came to me to close, rather than me going to them! read more

The Simmons Team is absolutely remarkable. Second to none - if you need a home loan or to refinance, call them! I just closed on Friday last week on the home I bought, and it was a long process due to the seller's stable of "professional" help. MY team was buttoned up - the Simmons Team was timely, accurate, resourceful, patient and the most talented subject matter experts I could hope for! I recommend them to absolutely everyone. If you don't use them you are leaving time and money on the table! read more
