I really appreciate the follow up from the initial contact through every step of the process by our associate. I was able to quickly validate his authenticity from my existing mortgage lender, then the home inspection was very fair and accurate and much less stressful than I thought it would be. In the end our credit went up by about 100 points, freeing up a couple other debts and keeping the equity in our property at a perfect time to do so.
