“Krista is a quintessential professional. As first-time homebuyers, we felt that she simplified the intimidating borrowing process.”

Krista is a quintessential professional. As first-time homebuyers, we felt that she simplified the intimidating borrowing process through a holistic approach. She helped us not only think about borrowing today, but early outlined a reasonable budget for our debt thresholds and advised us to take future purchase plans into consideration. As clients who are both U.S. and foreign citizens she clearly understood the nuances of borrowing for a foreign national on a G-4 visa. Krista quickly parsed through the unique supporting documents and successfully applied them to our borrowing request. Krista strikes a fantastic balance when it comes to communication. She has timely e-mail/text/call responses, availability after hours and offers back-up when on vacation. Just as importantly, she exercises pristine discretion when sharing information with other stakeholders involved in the purchase, always prioritizing client confidentiality. We always felt comfortable working with Krista as she fostered a relationship of trust without judgment. From our introductory meeting, she encouraged us to speak with other lenders and choose the one that best fit our needs. She never assumed she knew everything and was transparent when additional research was needed, which made her advice even more trustworthy. A special mention to Melanie, who works closely with Krista, for keeping everything seamless. Melanie was consistently on top of our file, polite, and kept us on track throughout the process.

Krista has done all of my mortgages for the past 15 years. I have to say this last one she did for me was the easiest process I've ever experienced & we closed in 13 days. Their systems are so great at keeping you informed every step of the way & was such a breeze to go thru. How many people reading this can actually say they enjoyed their most recent mortgage experiences? I can tell you that I did & highly recommend everyone to use Krista -- she's amazing!
