Start early. Have a loan officer review your credit and financial position well before you are ready to make an offer.
Awesome Service 5 STARS x 2
“I've never refinanced before, only thinking about it would put me under stress..If I've only known about Kati sooner, I would do it 2 years ago. She made it so easy and effortlessly for me. She basically was holding my hand through the entire process. I had tones of questions and she answered all of them in an easy way to understand, in a timely manner, and with great knowledge, wisdom, and the right attitude. I also appreciate the fact that she found a few discounts she could use with my case. Text, call, or email - she was always there for me. Great professional service which I could give 5 stars x 2 !! I'm looking forward to hopefully another round of refinancing in a near future with Kati! Will highly recommend it to all my friends! I could not be happier! Thank you, Kati! You are awesome!! :)”

Proactive, reaponsive, and a pleasure from day 1!
“Working with Kati was an incredible experience. She always took the time to answer all questions and provide me the best advice. From the first time we called she always responded within minutes and was ready for any follow ups. She was proactive with information to ensure the closing process went smooth. We worked together from a distance with a large time zone difference, so she always kept me aware of deadlines and sent follow ups so that everything was always ready for the title company and agents. I will absolutely recommend Kati to anyone looking to buy, especially in this market. Finally, Kati was instrumental in helping me shape offers and pick properties because she took the time to review listings, provide advice on pros and cons, and provide example closing costs and payment options at various rates. In the end we hit the exact mark for my payment and i got a house that perfectly fits my needs.”

The easiest and most stress free process I've ever had
“We refinanced our loan recently with Katie and not only was she knowledgeable, kind and promptly responded but she made the process so easy for us. I shopped around for the best deal in town and Katie was patient, didn't rush me and ultimately was the best deal in town. I highly recommend her!”

Truly a pleasure to work with - I highly recommend
“We worked with Kati on a refinance and then a home purchase. She is very knowledgeable and responsive, answering all of our questions, often more than once. She took a lot of time during our initial phone call to talk with us and learn what we were looking for, and then she promptly went to work on it. She kept us updated on the process every step of the way, and took all the stress out of what was a very stressful situation. I am sure that we were not her best qualified or biggest clients, but she treated us like we were from beginning to end. I am so happy my sister referred me to her, and we will reach out to her with all of our future financing needs. Thank you Kati!”
