From my first contact via their website through the signing all the documents, the process was so smooth.

I would highly recommend Best Mortgage for a VA loan and/or refi.

Back in May of 2009, I was just a single girl looking to buy my first house. One of my coworkers,…read moreNoel, had just bought his first house and told me about FHA loans and his experience. I thought, sure, I have great credit, my income isn't bad, and I have a little cash to put down as well, but I still didn't think anyone would want to give me a home loan and I told that to Noel. He said, "Britt, you are wrong. You need to call my guy. His name is Ron Howard, and he is THE MAN." Really, that's exactly what Noel said, and I remember it to this day, because in the end, he was right. There's no better way to describe him. I giggled when I read the other Yelp reviews here, because Alan R.'s review starts with that very same sentiment. Clearly, there's a pattern here... I followed Noel's advice and Ron and I got that home loan put together like a well oiled machine. He looked at my financial situation, explained to me my options in terms of loans, told me what he needed from me to get my house financed, and then I spent the next couple of weeks printing, signing, faxing, calling, or whatever I had to do until BAM! I was well on my way to first time home ownership. It was SO easy. The interest rate I was able to get was unheard of at the time, to the point where people I told thought that I must be mistaken. As a matter of fact, my best friend who was in the same identical financial and personal situation as I was in ( i.e. single, first time homebuyer, same job, same income, same price range) bought her house exactly two weeks after I bought mine, and did NOT go through Ron. Instead, she used her brother-in-law who was in "the biz", and got her a rate of 5.35% on a 30 year fixed. According to him, that was an amazing deal, "the best he has heard of" and the best it would ever be. The rate I ended up with was 4.5% on a 30 year fixed. We put the same amount of money down and our houses also cost the same, selling with only a $4000 price difference between the two. Fast forward to now, February 2014. Life has carried on and I'm now a married lady, expecting a baby, and looking to move into a house with more space. While we no longer need an FHA loan, our conditions are a little more complicated than they were a few years back. We make more money, but we also already own two houses and want to buy a third one before having to sell anything. I told my husband that I had worked with Ron back in the day and that I felt so confident in his abilities that I wanted to contact him again and see what he had to say. Thankfully, my hubby went along with it. I emailed Ron later that day, and immediately got a warm response, he clearly remembered me, and it was almost like reconnecting with an old long lost friend. This time, we also have had the pleasure of working with Ron's production partner, Melissa. Between the two of them, we could not be happier with our experience. They are both incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, but they are also very down to Earth and friendly, and the response time with emails or phone calls is of lightning speed. Again, we were able to go over multiple types of loans and scenarios to see what would work best for us, with some of these options being paths we would have never known existed had we not had the guidance that we did. We never felt stupid or pressured., and today, we got the news that pending an appraisal on the new house we found, our loan has been approved. Everything is just falling into place. My husband and I highly recommend both Ron and Melissa. Quite honestly, if I'm ever in the home buying market again, I will not waste my time elsewhere because I know that nobody will give us better or more personal service than Ron and his team. Ron Howard, you really are the MAN! :)

We were so fortunate to have Ashley as our agent when buying our first home this year…read more We met her husband Adam at one open house event early this year and exchanged contact information. Just a few weeks later, once we felt ready to start our home search, we met Adam and Ashley at a coffee shop near our home where they walked us through the entire home buying process and answered all questions we had. Ashley is very knowledgeable, patient and kind, a great negotiator, and has a great list of contacts for all things we needed throughout the process. She has been there for us every step of the way and was always more focused on answering our questions, giving us good advice, and finding homes that met our needs than she was on closing a deal. We strongly recommend her to anyone.

Our experience trying to sell our home was so discouraging. And after having several offers removed post-inspection we decided we needed to find someone new to work with. In stepped Ashley. Her understanding and practice of "full-service" realty was exactly what we needed. She had tremendous knowledge and the professional skills to help us navigate what we needed to do to get our older home back on the market. She utilized her contacts to help us with the necessary repairs and she was the one to coordinate all the appointments and work. Every step of the way she communicated very clearly and thoroughly with us and she was kind and respectful of our needs as a family. We never felt like we were a "small" client. Ashley put so much time and energy into selling our home. And throughout the process she was gently encouraging us, which was no small thing considering we had been so discouraged in our previous attempts to sell. We sold our home for over asking-price with multiple offers thanks to Ashley's expertise. We cannot say enough wonderful things about her work. It is great to work with someone who has the professional skills and wisdom to buy/sell a home and the people skills to treat others well and with respect in the process. We will certainly use Ashley when we buy a home or need to sell again!

When working with them you are hiring a team of 12 to make sure all of your bases are covered. Isabel, Lydie & the Liv team are amazingly efficient, detail-oriented and did an outstanding job selling my home! I was kept in the informative loop constantly and emails/calls were responded to immediately. The selling experience was not only flawless, but also fast! They got my house ready for sale within 4 days. They listed it on a Thursday and had a mega open house Friday as well as Saturday. The Liv strategy and 19 point marketing program is beyond anything I could have asked for. The staging, photography, videography and more was all top notch. The quality of the photography/Video commissioned by Isabel & Lydie was superb and captured the experience of living in this home showing all of the rooms, the front/back yard and view quite accurately. The follow through throughout the entire ordeal was very professional and easy. After previously listing my home with a different agent and my home not selling, Isabel & Lydie decided to take me on as a client, aggressively market my property, negotiate on my behalf and within 48 hours of being on the market I was in an 8 offer bidding war situation and selling for 23k over asking price! From the very first meeting with Isabel & Lydie I felt like a valued client and felt that way throughout the entire process. I have no hesitation in recommending the Liv Real Estate Group as a company to go through no matter what size your home is. I will continue to work with the Liv team any chance I get and have already recommended them to some of my friends, family members and coworkers. It was pleasant working with Isabel, Lydie and the Liv Team! Thank you for such a flawless experience!
