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!

Katie went completely above and beyond for me during my first home buying experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and such an advocate for her clients. She worked around the clock to ensure that we got the best outcome at closing that we possibly could. Not to mention, no question was silly or inconvenient for her. I will never use another lender. Thank you Katie!!!!

Katie has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She knows her job inside and out. I was confident from the beginning in her abilities as I knew I was in good hands. The process to me was quite stressful, but Katie handled every question flawlessly. And she was a pro at handling my anxiety given this was my first home purchase. I would recommend her to anybody in need of assistance in purchasing a home or doing a refinance. I will forever be grateful for the help she provided me and I will even miss communicating with her now that the process is over!!

As first-time homebuyers, we had no idea what we were doing and were so anxious. Katie was incredibly helpful and always had a solution for any issue we ran into. She even assisted us with getting into a down-payment assistance program that made it possible for us to purchase our beautiful home. She’s patient, understanding, and truly dedicated to her clients. We couldn’t have asked for a better lender.
