      As first time homebuyers, we had no idea what we were doing. Rob and his team were able to guide us through the process and answer all of our questions. They responded to emails so quickly that I didn’t even have time to stress about anything before they got back to us. They provided us with as many iterations of estimates dashboards we asked for which made planning so easy. Highly recommend Rob and his team!

      Rob and John and his team are fantastic! As first time home buyers we came with plenty of questions and hesitations. Thanks to them we were able to navigate the complicated, confusing, and competitive market. Rob took time to educate us, help us think through possible situations and find solutions. They were always there to recalculate estimates, give us breakdowns, and help us to find and compare program options to help make our ultimate home purchase as affordable as possible. We were so lucky to have worked with them and would absolutely recommend them to anyone!
