My loan officer went above and beyond

The process was fairly smooth, Ilene was very communicative. I would have liked a little more communication or earlier action (where possible) for things like insurance but that may have been outside of her control. (We didn't have the masterwork insurance until roughly a week out from closing so I had to rush looking for ho6 policies)

Taiko A.

Working with Ilene to obtain a mortgage for our home was a delight! She made the process feel like a breeze, and she truly felt like a partner who would advocate for us each step of the way. I would be happy to work with her and the team again!

I ran into a complicated situation when purchasing my first property and was almost certain about losing my deposit. Luckily, I was connected to Ilene through my realtor. Together with her team, Ilene turned it all around and now I’m positing my 5-star review for her in my condo. She will be with you in every steps, patiently answer or try to find answer to every questions you might have and above all she is the expert at what she does. I highly recommend her for your mortgage needs!

Ilene has been a fantastic partner and a great resource for so many of my clients. She is passionate about educating her buyers and laser focused on helping them reach their goals of home ownership.

Referred several family & friends to Ilene and team, all very happy!!! Recently, went through my own refinance and experience was great!!!
