My partner and I couldn’t have asked for a better loan officer than Ryan for our first home. From day one Ryan was super responsive, enthusiastic, and incredibly knowledgeable. He broke everything down in a way that actually made sense to us, and he never moved on until he knew we fully understood each step. For something we knew absolutely nothing about going into, Ryan made us feel like experts by the end. He brought so much positivity to the whole process, and even showed up at our closing to support us, which meant a lot... read more

This was my second time working with Ryan and his wonderful crew. He was available at all times for those random questions that would pop up making this whole journey seamless and a real joy for our second time around. I will be recommending anyone I know to Ryan and crew when the time arises.

Ryan was great to work with. He took the time to explain the financial elements of the home buying process and what to expect. He was diligent and kept the loan tasks on schedule. The best part about working with Ryan was his willingness to make himself available. Anytime I had a question, he was always prompt with an answer.

Very helpful, friendly but to the point, responsive to questions and concerns, and got the job done. Explained different loan options and conditions relevant to the unit in detail, always followed up with more detailed text when necessary, always prompted me when action was necessary, staff similarly friendly but direct.

We had a great experience with Ryan. My husband and I were first-time homebuyers and Ryan was the perfect person to help us navigate the mortgage process. Ryan is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and responsive. As a veteran family, we used the VA loan and Ryan's familiarity with the VA process was invaluable. He made sure we understood each step, answered all of our questions promptly, and helped us feel confident throughout. We always felt like we were in good hands. We’re so grateful for his support and would highly rec... read more

We were referred to Ryan and from day one he made the entire loan application and closing process extremely easy to understand and smooth! He kept us informed throughout the whole process, was available what felt like 24/7 for questions, and we were able to close even sooner than expected. We would recommend him to anyone, especially first time home buyers.

Ryan was awesome to work with! As a first-time home buyer, I was anxious about the closing process. He walked me through the process and kept me informed of updates, what was going to happen next, and timelines. His communication was excellent, and he was always quick to respond to my questions. Ryan and his team made the entire home buying process easy. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a loan officer!
