Testimonials

There are not enough stars to rate the job that Marie does! I have had the privilege of working with Marie on many occasions, and to a person have had and heard nothing but amazing things about the experience. Marie lives and breathes the client experience. With each family, she is taking the time to explain the process, in a manner that most lenders simply do not do. As an advocate, she champions the families she works with, to make sure they can get into the home of their dreams. Truly, her clients are her #1 priority. Choose Marie for next loan, or refinance if you are looking for someone who will care about you and you family as much as you do. It is an honor to work alongside Marie.- Seth Carson
I want to let you know that I was very impressed with your thoughtfulness and your ability to offer different options based on our goals. I have been getting home loans for 43 years and I’ve never been presented with the information like you presented yesterday. You know you are my #1 pick but this was really amazing. Thanks so much for persisting when I thought it was just option 1, 2 or 3. Option four was perfect.- Colleen MacGilchrist
Marie is the best! Marie and her excellent team helped us with buying our first home. She is very professional, detail-oriented, organized, knowledgeable, and resourceful. Our mortgage application paperwork went very smooth, and felt effortless. Thanks to Marie and her team we were able to close on the house two weeks before the planes closing date. On the top of everything, she accommodated our busy schedule. I our kids loved going to her office even after we closed on the house. I think it was because of the friendly environment that my kids felt there. She was very transparent with us on our Interstate, down payment, and mortgage options. She provided us with valuable advice on how to maintain a healthy credit score. Her after sale service is still valuable to us.- Moh’d El-Sharo
We just arrived in Bellingham this fall and feel so lucky to have found Marie. She was so supportive and so savvy about finding the right mortgage for us. She even helped us secure a HELOC immediately after closing although it although it was not through her agency. We highly recommend her. Best ever, here or compared to anyone we experienced in Minneapolis, St. Paul. - Tracey Pyscher
There are not enough good things I can say about Marie and her team! They are beyond knowledgeable, they keep you well informed they think out of the box to ensure you are getting everything you need, but most importantly they truly care about your success! We enjoyed working with Marie and her team and will return to Marie in heart beat for any Mortgage/Refi needs we ever need again! Thank you Marie! - Ryan T.
