Courtney was an absolutely hero to my wife and I in getting our first home settled. I’m not joking when I say she made getting our home loan the least stressful part of the process. Courtney was consistently proactive and communicative, and always explained things in an accessible way. This was a great outcome for us, and if you’re looking for broker you couldn’t do better.
