Shawn was very professional, knowledgeable & patience to answers my questions. He was very quick to return telephone calls. Shawn is gifted, he reminded me my best college professor. He always had the answer, ability and accuracy to be understood and understand complicated, “ new home buyers fearful and somewhat out of the universe questions”. I have much respect for Shawn’s work. He orchestrated with his team a very pleasant, smooth experience in my new home buying. I will promote always.

We have used Shawn's services three times now. With two purchases and a refinance, his team has made the loan process easy. Definitely would refer him to anyone.

Shawn was great with all of my questions during the home loan process. He was always quick to respond and gave detailed answers. If he wasn't able to answer a certain question, he knew who to reach out to.
