    Working with Embrace, specifically Shawn, Kim, and Jessi was a breeze. Shawn came highly recommended and we learned why over the course of our home purchase. We really appreciated the introductory meetings, his and his team's availability to answer any questions we had, the updated documentation that kept us informed of all the closing costs, and leading us across the finish line to closing. It really was such a smooth process and helped ease our tension moving forward. Highly recommend Shawn and Embrace and look forward to doing business with them in the future. Thanks! -Chris and Cristy

    Extremely personable. Communicated with us through the entire process, ensuring that we had all the information we needed to make a good decision based on our needs. Excellent customer service, which is so rare these days. We will definitely send our friends and colleagues to Shawn.

    Shawn is the best loan officer I’ve worked with, in my almost 10 years in real estate. He shares the same kind of work ethic as me; always puts his clients best interest above all and helps them understand the loan process. Shawn gets the job done because he is a keen listener and understands his client needs. He educates and guides clients but also doesn’t assert himself too aggressively. The relationship he establishes with each client endears him to them and gains their trust, which is the key to every successful deal. He’s a consummate professional, knows every aspect of the loan industry, is continuously learning and keeping abreast of new loan updates, very skillful, patient and reliable. Embrace Home Loans is very lucky to have him.
