“Karen Hope and the LoanDepot group created the easiest, most pleasant [experience] l have ever experienced. the $1000/mo savings and lowest rate i could find was the best part.”

Karen Hope and the LoanDepot group created the easiest, most pleasant l have ever experienced. I refinanced my 7 yr arm into a 30 yr fixed. the $1000/mo savings and lowest rate i could find was the best part, but Karen and her staff were truly amazing. I never had to leave the comfort of my home because their online underwriting software took care of it all. regular reminders, never rushed, accommodating of my busy and chaotic schedule and always available by email, text and phone. I give Karen and her team a 5++. I don't know how they could improve. thank you so much!

Thank you David - it was such a pleasure working with you.

“Karen is resourceful, knowledgeable, and fully prioritizes her clients before anything else. I fully recommend her to anyone embarking on a real estate journey of any kind!”

Working with Karen was an absolute dream! I had a ton of questions when I initially met her and she patiently (and thoroughly) answered every question I had. During the pre-approval process, Karen described in great detail the differences between all mortgage products that were available for me as well as the pros and cons of each one. She worked tirelessly and quickly to get me the pre-approval letter and was always planning ahead to ensure I had all the documents required to get the loan approved. During the evening before closing day, Karen and her colleague Chrissy worked well past the end the work day to ensure closing would go smoothly. Throughout the entire process, Karen communicated with me closely and was always easily reachable. Karen is resourceful, knowledgeable, and fully prioritizes her clients before anything else. I fully recommend her to anyone embarking on a real estate journey of any kind as I had a wonderful experience and I'm confident you will too! Written happily from the comfort of my new dream home~ -Yichen

“Solid, strong, knowledgeable, personable -- with excellent follow-up. She took time to assess the situation [and] find me the best, and most beneficial... loan options.”

Solid, strong, knowledgeable, personable -- with excellent follow-up. This is how I'd describe Karen Hope. I have used Karen Hope twice for Mortgages. She took time to assess the situation, walk me through the program and requirements, then find me the best, and most beneficial (for me) loan options. Karen has become the go-to resource for my, and my friends' Mortgage/Loan projects. Plus, she's a genuine, and genuinely nice, person. Strongest and highest recommendation.

“Karen got me from offer to closing on my first home in less than 30 days. She was diligent, resourceful, and thorough. She made the process completely painless for me.”

Karen got me from offer to closing on my first home in less than 30 days. Other lenders I tried to work with prior to her barely put the effort in - in fact they barely knew my name. Karen was diligent, resourceful, and thorough. She worked hard to clear up issues in a matter of days. She made the process completely painless for me. Not only is she experienced and skilled, she is patient and kind. She was there whenever I called or texted, day or night, whether it was for status on the loan process, or to give me an encouraging word. If you need a lender, Karen is the one to have on your side. I highly recommend her!

Response from Owner

Thank you Julie! And thank you for coming back to me for your refinance. It is always a pleasure to work with you.

“[As] first-time home buyers with a ton of questions, she guided us through and eased our nerves. ... Karen is outstanding and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!”

My husband and I used Karen Hope at loanDepot for our home purchase with a VA loan. We were first-time home buyers with a ton of questions that she guided us through and eased our nerves. She also referred us to a great Realtor. She called us about a year after we bought our home to do a VA IRRL refinance, covered all of our closing costs with a lender credit and still lowered our payment $230 a month. Karen is outstanding and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend her!

“Karen Hope and her team made this experience really simple, answered all of my numerous questions throughout the process”

Karen Hope and her team made this experience really simple, answered all of my numerous questions throughout the process, and walked me carefully through all of the pertinent documents to make sure I was comfortable. This time last year I had no idea I could be a homeowner, and now thanks to her I’m here. Thanks Karen!!

Response from Owner

Nick, it's been an absolute privilege helping you transition from wondering if homeownership was possible to actually holding the keys. I really appreciate your patience as we walked through the documents together. Enjoy every single moment in your new home!

“Karen Hope went above and beyond to get us our financing after another lender dropped the ball”

Karen Hope went above and beyond to get us our financing after another lender dropped the ball while we were already under contract. She found us a product that worked for our needs and could get through underwriting quickly, despite us having more complicated self employment income.

Karen was absolutely phenomenal to work with. She was always available to answer my questions (and I had more than a few) and navigated my loan through without any problems, even though my purchase was somewhat unconventional. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a top-rate mortgage broker. I closed on the house last week. Thanks Karen!

“Regardless of the market, Karen is my "go to" broker. She has a vast wealth of knowledge, with an awesome customer service attitude that makes the stressful process seem easy.”

If there were 10 out of five stars, Karen would get all ten! I have moved around a lot in the past 20 years, and buying and selling seems like a regular thing for me. Regardless of the market, Karen is my "go to" broker for getting things done. She has a vast and deep wealth knowledge of the market, with an awesome customer service attitude that make the stressful process seem easy. If you need a broker that will help you get the best deal at the lowest costs and help you collect everything that is needed to get you across the finish line - Karen is the person I recommend you work with.

Karen was a great help in my home buying experience. I closed in 23 days and despite the mountains of paperwork that needed quick turnaround times it was an extremely smooth process that I felt supported throughout. She was very patient with all my questions, even when I asked her the question multiple times after forgetting what she had told me. I also shopped around when looking at lenders and and her rates were great. I’d highly recommend Karen as your lender, she’s amazing!

We had the pleasure to close two refinance loans with Karen recently, and she went above and beyond. She was not just good at what she does, she is creative in finding the best financial products to fit our needs. She also takes the time to explain different type fos loans for different types of properties, procedures and document requirements. She kept a hawk eye when we were closing to make sure boxes are checked and such. We highly recommend Karen!

Karen was very easy to work with. I hadn't used a mortgage lender in 20 years and she made the process very easy. Furthermore, she was available for questions, basically 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and that made her feel a bit like family! She very often had all the answers we needed, but if not, she directed us to the right people. I loved that. We are very pleased with our purchase and I am so thankful that she helped make the process go so well.

“Karen got me approved for a loan with better terms in just a week or so. Next time I'm going straight to her.”

My real estate agent had me turn to Karen at the eleventh hour when we things started to go south on my original loan. While travelling for training, she was able to do my loan application and got me approved for a loan with better terms in just a week or so. In the end, my original lender came back with an unbeatable offer, but it was Karen's hard work that made that possible. Next time I'm going straight to her.
