Shawn is a pleasure to work with. Knowledgeable and professional, personable and efficient. He explained the pros and cons associated with different mortgage refinancing options which allowed us to make the best choice for our financial goals. Shawn has not only saved us money. He has earned our trust.

Shawn is an excellent loan officer to work with. He answered any questions I had thoroughly, and kept me in the loop of everything happening in the backgrounds. He explained clearly what items were needed from me, and took initiative to reach out to parties on my behalf so the homebuying process could go smoother. Thanks in large part to Shawn, we were able to close ahead of what we had planned. I look forward to working with Shawn in the future.
