We moved from California to be near our grandkids and and found our adorable house. I want to thank Karen Russo and her team so very much with making our first home buying experience smooth and easy. Thank you very much Karen.

Im super happy to work with this team, they always were very friendly and they were very clear about the loan process and the paperwork we need for the loan.

I had a great time dealing with Karen and Karen’s team. They worked Tirelessly through all hours to get all information needed and processed in a very quick and timely manner. I am thoroughly appreciative of how they worked with me and my family to get our new home; would recommend to anybody looking for a new mortgage.

Karen has been our team’s preferred lender for over a year now, since expanding into the Goldsboro area. I have no qualms telling every client that she is the best and will take extra special care of them! She’s extremely professional and brings the best attitude to each transaction. She is a creative and diligent problem solver, helping clients meet their goals no matter what issues may arise during the process. Closings are smooth and on time! She’s never disappointed us! Highly recommend!!!

Response from Karen Watson Russo

Thanks Kelly- we make a great team!!!

I had the opportunity to work with Karen during the short length of time I lived and sold real estate in Goldsboro, NC. I have had experiences with several lenders, and Karen Russo is by far one of the best, if not THE best. At the least she pulls out all the stops to close on time, and I can tell she really cares about her clients. My buyers have been very satisfied with the quality of her work and care from start to finish.
