A big part of that had to do with the efforts and communication I received from Mrs. Rooney.

Mrs. Rooney also went above and beyond giving recommendations with new property insurance. She was also good at cleaning up my messes of getting my personal information entered as it should be when needed.

She made this process so smooth from start to finish, and even came to my closing to make sure everything was correct and to celebrate with me. As a first time home buyer, I had countless questions and worries about the process. Mrs. Kori answered all of my questions and explained everything in a way that I could easily understand. She worked hard to make sure that I locked in the best rate, and was in the best program that would work well with my lifestyle and income. I truly cannot say enough good things about her. She is a gem in the real estate and mortgage world, and I am counting my lucky stars that I had the opportunity to work with her. I'm so thankful for her!AAnthony B.
