Shawn returned calls and texts quickly, answering all questions clearly and directly. Due to his diligence, closing was problem-free; Shawn even arranged for the title company to come to us and conduct a safe and almost contact-free signing of documents. Most importantly, we locked in a nice, low rate!

Thank you!
