Shoutout to Mike and Cat – My Dream Team! 🌟 I cannot say enough about how amazing my experience was with Mike and Cat—honestly, they deserve 5 stars across the board. Their team was by far the smoothest part of the entire home-buying journey. If I’m being honest, this is the area where I had the least complications, and it made all the difference. Clear Expectations, Exceptional Communication, and Constant Reassurance From the very beginning, expectations were crystal clear. I was overly communicated with—every step of the way, I knew exactly what to expect. I was reassured when I had doubts, and they took the time to educate me through the entire process. It was more than just a transaction; it was a partnership where I felt confident and informed. The Underwriting Process Was a Breeze The underwriting app they used was incredibly user-friendly. Uploading documents was a seamless process, and the technology they used made everything smooth and efficient. No hassle, no confusion—just clear steps to keep things moving forward. Highly Recommend! I wouldn’t recommend any other lender or loan officer. Mike and Cat were absolutely top-notch, and I’m so grateful I chose to work with them. Perks of the Deal Let’s talk perks—because there were a lot! I locked in a real cute interest rate on a portfolio loan, which already has me feeling good about my future. Plus, I’m already sitting on some equity from day one. Not to mention, I had creative control over $25K in design center upgrades, got free blinds and gutters, and closed with $0 cash out of pocket. Oh, and let’s not forget $30K in seller credits & seller-paid closing costs, plus I even got a check back at closing. 🙌🏾 To Mike and Cat—thank you for making this such an easy, stress-free experience. Y’all are the real MVPs! 🙏🏾🏡✨
