Cara Srogus is awesome! I have worked with Cara for over 20 years through purchases or refinancing and she is always the same, professional, down to earth and super knowledgeable! I would recommend using Cara Srogus for your mortgage financing if you want the best working for you!

Jason, twenty + years is an incredible journey and I am truly honored to have been by your side for all these purchases and refinances. Working with clients like you makes what I do so rewarding. Thank you for your continued trust and for taking the time to share such a kind note.

Cara was great, she put in a lot of work to make sure that we got the best rate we could in comparison to other providers. Always prefer getting to work with someone local as well!

Thank you Jamie! You guys have been dream clients to work with!

As someone in real estate, I truly appreciate lenders who communicate, stay on top of details, and get deals to the closing table—and she does exactly that. Reliable, responsive, and great with clients. Always happy to work alongside Cara!

I wish there was one more star available for Cara! She was responsive, patient and so flexible with our questions, concerns and requests. In this market you need a lender who is knowledgeable about different loan products that will fit different scenarios you may be presented with. Cara is a problem solver and her wealth of experience made this purchase so much easier than it could have been. If any of my friends and family need a lender, I know who I will tell them to use....Cara!

Cara was great to work with as a first time home buyer! After working with a difficult lender who didn’t have my best interest in mind it was a relief to be connected with Cara! She took the time to make sure I understood every step of the process and was available to talk whenever I had questions.
