Sometimes word of mouth is the best advice, and that is how I happened upon Carrie. I had never used a mortgage broker before, so I made an appointment, met Carrie and her staff, and was completely sold. The experience was painless. No sitting and waiting. And later I found that changes could be made quickly and easily by telephone and she promptly responded to emails.

What more can you ask for?
