After spending countless hours shopping around, we are so glad we found you guys! You offered us a better rate from the get-go than what was offered to us after rounds of negotiations with our bank. More importantly, thank you for taking the time to answer ALL our questions (I know we asked for a lot! :)). We are looking forward to working with you again. We’ll be sending our friends your way.

I love how simple and easy the process was. I am no mortgage expert but loved the fact that I could do most steps by myself. Chase was super helpful in answering my questions and confirming I had found the best deal with nesto. A+
