We’re so grateful to Jacqueline Caraballo for helping us get the mortgage for our first home! She made the entire process smooth and easy to understand, and was always patient, professional, and quick to respond. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, and Jacqueline made sure we felt confident every step of the way. We highly recommend Jacqueline to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive lender!
Carmen did an amazing presentation on the HomeBuyers educational course. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional,and had quick responses to any questions that have come up!
