Katie is the BEST! I’ve had the privilege of partnering up with Katie on a recent VA Loan transaction and she made the whole process for my clients so smooth! She is very knowledgeable and always went out of her way to make sure our mutual clients had all the information they needed and went over …all their options so they could make the most informed decision for themselves. She was also the best communicator- not only with myself as the realtor but most importantly our clients! I would refer her to anyone who wants options, Info, and a smooth transaction! She is literally the best!

Katie is an absolutely amazing lender, and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! She made the entire process of buying our first home so smooth and stress-free. She was incredibly helpful, supportive, and wonderful to work with every step of the way. I truly don’t know what we would have …done without her! We are so grateful to have had her by our side throughout this exciting journey. If you’re looking for a lender who genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond, Katie is the one!

My name is Darren Burke and I help 30 or so families a year move up in the Cleveland, Ohio area. Katie IS a dynamo! It's rare to find a lender with her wealth of experience that moves so fast to make sure her buyers are in perfect position to purchase.

My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Katie during our home-buying process! From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cared about making sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Buying a home can be a stressful and …confusing process, but Katie made us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. She was always willing to answer questions, explain things clearly, and make sure we never felt like we was left in the dark. Her communication and attention to detail really stood out to us, and it was obvious that she truly cared about helping us find the right home and making the entire experience a positive one. What I appreciated most was how personable and approachable she was. She made what could have been a very overwhelming experience feel much easier and more enjoyable. We always felt like we had someone in our corner who was willing to go the extra mile for us. I would HIGHLY recommend Katie Lepley to anyone looking to buy a home! If you’re looking for someone who is hardworking, trustworthy, professional, and genuinely cares about her clients, you won’t go wrong with her. She was fantastic to work with, and I’m confident she will be for you too.

Katie did an amazing job helping us refinance our home almost 6 years ago. Her knowledge, professionalism and wonderful sense of humor made the process easy and stress free. The new loan made our dream of owning our home happen sooner, while saving money. I have and would recommend Katie to …friends and family interested in buying a home for their first time or refinancing their current one.

I have used Katie Lepley twice- for a loan to purchase a home and to refinance my condo. She is quick and efficient, very professional and really knows this business. She made the process (both times) so seamless and easy. She and her team kept me informed every step of the way. I would use her …again and highly recommend her for all your loan needs.

Katie Lepley made refinancing our home straightforward and stress-free. The initial document collection was easy to navigate, and we completed the signing process within 30 days. Katie guided me through every step and kept me informed about the progress she and her team at Lower.com were making. …Their communication was excellent, and the entire team was professional and highly capable. I have confidently referred several friends and family members to Katie, knowing they will be in excellent hands.

Active Duty Military, forward deployed, First time homebuyer looking to purchase his first home upon return to the states after 3 years overseas.Contacted Katie in the fall of 2025 and she was nothing short of outstanding! Using my VA loan, she was able to walk me through every step of the process …from and perform legwork that needed to be done when operations let me with thinline communication. In my search for lenders, of the 5 that I spoke with, Katie was the most personable and the only one who truly expressed her joy in her work and happiness in seeing me choose and make offers. Going through contractual language felt easy, communication with other seller agents and insurance was seamless. It felt like having a battle buddy watching your six. From having no experience in this field, having done it once with Katie, I feel as if through everything she taught me I would do it all over again just to experience it. She was able to go above and beyond to help communicate and proctor extensions when needed and to communicate negotiations on behalf of myself and the VA. If there is only one lender you choose to do business with from this day until your last day, let it be Katie!
