YelpRuss is the BEST! As a first time homebuyer with LOTS of questions, Russ patiently explained things to me. He is a wealth of knowledge! I never felt like a burden whenever I would call to ask a question or get clarification on something. It is clear that he wants the best for his clients and isn't in the business just to make a buck. I highly recommend Russ and his team for your lender needs!

YelpWe had such an amazing experience with Russ. After working with two mortgage brokers and disliking them with passion, we found Russ very responsive, super easy to work with and refreshingly honest. He took us over mid-escrow and still was able to help us close on time (in fact, he was ready earlier than promised). His tips were amazing and his cool and calming presence relieved a lot of anxiety in this stressful process. Highly recommend to anyone!
