We want to thank you for your exceptional service throughout our loan and home purchase transaction.When we rst read about your ability to handle VA loans in South Bay Digs magazine, we had a feeling thatyou were the perfect person for us. Our rst conversation with you conrmed our expectations. From there,the entire lending process with you went so smoothly and we beneted greatly from your expertise. You hadyour nger on the pulse of interest rates and were able to lock us in at the best rate before rates movedup. Under your guidance, everything fell nicely into place. It was the polar opposite to the brutal renancewe did with another local lender and we wish we had known you sooner.
