Using the Thaggard’s was such a great experience. Both Stephen and his wife Karen worked so well with us and I knew I always had someone to answer questions which is often when buying a house. Embrace homes is so lucky to have them as an asset!

Steve was very attentive to my needs. He was readily accessible to me even on weekends. Steve kept me in the loop of the progress from the start of the closing process to the actual closing day. Thanks again to Steve and his staff who assisted me throughout

Steve took care of my refinance easily and made the transaction go smoothly and at the same time he delivered my best rate and closing fees. I highly recommend the Thaggard team!
