Lanie Conklin

We loved working with Total Mortgage and specifically Lanie Conklin. She was there every step of the way, and always answered all of our (many) questions. Especially during this tough housing market, we felt like we were in great hands and really appreciated her counsel and help along the way.

Lanie was the absolute BEST throughout the process of buying a home for the first time. She made everything feel so simple and explained things in a way that wasn’t overwhelming. I could call her at any moment and she would pick up; whether she was trying to get her family ready for the day or about to make dinner, she would always answer. She is very kind, solution oriented, and always put our wants and needs at the forefront. She also made sure that when we looked at a place, it was in our budget, and would always write us up a worksheet with projected calculations to make sure that we were comfortable. We had no surprise fees at the end, and overall had a wonderful experience. She is literally the best! We love you, Lanie!

Lanie was so awesome helping us secure our mortgage in under 30 days. I would recommend her to anyone for their mortgage. Lanie was so personable and accessible, which as a first time homebuyer was everything and more than I could’ve asked for. We closed to today and Lanie was a great addition to our team! Everyone at Total Mortgage was incredible and would recommend 10 out of 10!!

As a realtor, I highly recommend Lanie to all my clients looking to buy a home. She goes above and beyond to ensure they secure the best possible rate and terms for their mortgage. She takes the time to explain all their options, ensuring they understand the terms and conditions. Her expertise in the mortgage industry is evident, and is always available to answer both my and my client’s questions, no matter how small. If you’re in the market for a mortgage lender, look no further than Lanie Conklin at Total Mortgage. You won’t be disappointed!

Lanie did an excellent job of walking us through the mortgage process. As first time home buyers it was great working with someone so knowledgeable and someone who didn't mind repeating how things worked (a few times) or what the next steps were. She helped to get us the best rate possible for our buying position. Even with some last minute changes she was available to help us every step of the way -- Thanks Lanie!

I was uncertain as Lanie was recommended by my realtor, I really didn't expect her to come in with a lower rate. I shopped around after I got my offer accepted. Lanie came in with the best rate hands down. She is smart and knows her stuff, she's constantly following the market so she has good foresight (and is not bad to chat market talk with if you're into that kind of stuff) She was very great with communication, she called me multiple times even with the odd hours I work she found time to get me the best rate. Part of me questioned if she was going to come through because she called me a few nights in a row but we never ended up locking anything. Then, when she told me she thought I should lock the rate, it ended up being the literal bottom and rates turned back around and started climbing again. Her words "I don't think it's gonna get better than this, I think we should lock you now," ended up being correct, so they stuck with me and here I am writing her review to tell you to believe Lanie when she tells you, she really knows what she's doing. Obviously still do your due diligence and all of that, but as far as a mortgage lender goes, I was certainly impressed. She knows every single program that can save you money, and she will use them because she knows that by saving you money you will go with her, after all it's not her bottom line either way. I went through a big bank to get pre approved and they didn't do anything in the way of trying to save me money, whereas Lanie talked about how she could get it lower if this information lined up with what she was looking at and trying to do. Other lenders couldn't even match her rate, let alone beat it. If you're having trouble getting the best rate, give her a shout, it certainly can't hurt and it definitely worked out for me.

We were in a dreary process with other lenders and as a result, we withdrew our application after it was underwritten! Lanie made the transition so smooth!!! She helped us close in 15 days!!!! Lanie is the best! If I’d buy another home, I’m definitely choosing Lanie!!!

Lanie and her team were absolutely amazing from pre-approval through our closing. They made the process of homebuying and securing a loan efficient and easy to understand - guiding us each step of the way, and ensuring a smooth process. We can not thank them enough for their patience amd support throughout all of it - answering questions and calls - no matter the time amd day - and being a calming force during chaotic times. can't say enough great things!

Lanie and her team were AMAZING! From start to finish it was an absolute pleasure. Highly recommend if you want the best of the best on your side. Lanie and her team listens, answers all your questions, and is by your side all the way from start to finish! Highly recommend Lanie Conklin and her team!

Lanie and her team were phenomenal! As first-time home buyers, we were brand new to the process and Lanie alleviated many of our concerns. She was extremely patient with our questions and was very knowledgeable about the entire process. She went above and beyond when it came to helping us, which we are tremendously grateful for, especially during such a crazy market. I will be recommending her to all of my friends and family when it comes time for them to buy a home. Thank you, Lanie and team!!

Lanie Conklin and her team were tremendous! They made a difficult task very easy. This truly was a terrific experience - I STRONGLY recommend using Lanie and the team at Guaranteed Rate. I've worked with other lenders, financial advisors, brokers etc - Lanie is in a league of her own. She has a tremendous knowledge of the lending process and any potential obstacles that could slow the closing date. She was 5-steps ahead on everything yet she kept me informed at every turn. On top of her raw brain power, Lanie has grit... I've never seen anybody work harder! This was honestly the best experience I could have imagined.

Lanie was very helpful during my loan process, she work so hard and was very courteous. She always answered the phone. Definitely working with her in my next investment.

My wife and I worked with Lanie and her team, Jessica and John, on our first home purchase and they were absolutely amazing. From the initial loan approval and underwriting, through the entire process, and even through closing, the whole team was always guiding the process. Lanie's team were extremely professional and prompt when explaining certain processes and replying to questions we had. Lanie kept a sharp eye on the interest rate and helped us a lock in a great rate. They laid out all the closing costs and were very accurate to their estimates. Lanie and her team at Guaranteed Rate Affinity were the reason our offer was accepted when there were multiple offers submitted. We're thankful for having Lanie and her team on our side for our closing process! We highly recommend this team! Thank you!

I was so blessed to have had the help from my mortgage lender on my recent home purchase. I had experienced some issues with a prior lender and almost lost my dream home. I am so grateful that Lanie Conklin and her amazing team stepped in and worked around the clock to help me save this purchase. Lanie and her team were so helpful and well informed, they are truly a blessing. They assisted me in completing and correcting all documentation I needed in just a few weeks. Even now after two months that I’ve purchased my home they have continued to contact me and keep me informed on all matters. I truly would recommend them especially to first time home buyers.🤩
