Shawn, Michelle, and Rochelle were an amazing team. This was my first time buying a home, and they made it easy. The team clearly demonstrated expertise at every step of the process and made sure to communicate with me the entire way. I asked a ton of questions, and every time I was given kind and complete answers. The communication with the relator was excellent, and I went to closing secure in the knowledge that I had an amazing team supporting me.

I really enjoyed working with Shawn through my home buying process. I am a first-time home buyer and Shawn answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable with all of the steps we were going through to get my loan processed and secure my mortgage. Shawn and his team have a friendly attitude, are great at educating the buyer, and work well with other partners (realtors and settlement agencies). I appreciated the digital-first approach as well and easy portal to upload necessary documents. I have already recommended Shawn to a few of my friends for their home buying process as well!

Inventory Shortage? How to Find a House When Listings are Scarce
A shortage of housing inventory made it difficult for many homebuyers to find a house this year. And according to many experts, next year may be much of the same. As more and more Baby Boomers age in place and existing homeowners stay in their homes longer (an average of 23 years in some cities!),…
