I had great experience buying a home with Shari Williams!…read more - It was my first time buying a house, so I asked her millions of questions. She was very patient and explained every step very thoroughly until I was comfortable enough to do it. - She took care of so many things. Finding similar real estates to check if the asking price is reasonable, creating all the documents, finding inspectors, getting quotes and such. - I bought the place while living in California. Shari made it very easy for me by going to showings and showing the place to me on FaceTime, going to the closing and such. I only flew there once to see the place before closing, but it was because I wanted to. She made the process of buying a house so easy that I didn't even had to be in the state! She's extremely helpful and friendly and I'd definitely recommend her!

When we decided to move back to Durham we knew we wanted to work with an agency that had strong…read moreconnections to the local community. With that in mind, Urban Durham Realty was the obvious choice and we are so happy with them, in general, and our agent, Marcelle Thomas, in particular. It was not our first time buying a house, or buying long distance, but it was the first time buying a house in NC, with its unique real estate customs, and Marcelle walked us through it all with patience and grace. She listened carefully to what we were looking for, even as we knew that finding the full package - our unicorn house, we called it - was going to be a long shot. We came up for what we thought would be the first of several weekends house hunting and by the end of that first day had found our new home. Marcelle guided us through the offer, the contract, and the few hiccups with the out-of-state closing and was very responsive whenever we had questions and made sure to keep us up on where things stood at all times. Marcelle was an absolute delight to work and tour houses with. Highly recommended.

I had a very good experience with CHM... twice. When we bought our first (and only) house, we…read morestarted with an out-of-state credit union that offered us a very competitive interest rate. Unfortunately, they brought in an appraiser from Raleigh who didn't know our market and our appraisal came in lower than the offering price on the house. We thought the whole deal was going to fall through. Our real estate agent suggested we try Carolina Home Mortgage, and they made the process so easy. CHM brought in a well-qualified appraiser, a local title attorney, and talked us through the various fees. Kearny, the owner, personally handled our mortgage and was always available by phone. He explained what we needed to do at each step of the process. When we decided to refi, we went back to Carolina Home Mortgage, and they were a pleasure to work with again. Kearny made sure our mortgage was prioritized and processed before our rate lock expired and a federal rate increase went into effect. We ended up with a rate more than a quarter of a point lower than any other mortgage broker offered us. Can't recommend Carolina Home Mortgage highly enough.

If I had to buy a house again, I would definitely choose Tiffany.

Even though we have excellent credit it was difficult to be approved for a mortgage while still having one in California. Thankfully we were referred to Whitney Bulbrook, President of the Company. Whitney was willing to consider our situation, advise us and get things going in a timely way. Her responsiveness to our questions was almost immediate.

Brad was our mortgage broker for our first house, before him we visited wells Fargo and some other…read morebig banks and were disappointed as none of them catered to our situation, being self employed and all . After visiting brad , he told us he will do his best to help us out but also said he can't promise anything . In the end Brad made the mortgage work out for us and also got us mortgage rate lot lower than we expected. For us it was no less than a miracle. I am so glad we came across his website and decided to visit his office. We had just moved from new york and didn't know anyone . But after meeting brad and going through the mortgage we felt like we have made a new friend and will be recommending him and using his services again and again for yrs to come.

We worked with David Tyndall to get an FHA loan. He was a fantastic person to work with. He looked…read moreat multiple options to get us the best rates. Whenever we had questions, concerns, or just needed some reassurance, he was available to work with us and calm our nerves. We hit a couple bumps in the process (not his fault or the mortgage company) and he worked really hard and did the research to make everything go smoothly. He was always patient and took the time to explain every process throughout the entire process. Best part is they won't sell our mortgage to someone else so we get to keep working with him. Definitely recommend!

Raleigh Mortgage Group single handedly saved our homebuying process, and my biggest regret is not…read morestarting with them. We first connected with Alayna Weaver from Raleigh Mortgage Group during the preapproval process, while we were comparing rates among lenders. We eventually got a rate too good to pass up from a large commercial bank and went with them, thanking RMG for their help. The loan process from this bank ended up being a complete disaster, where problems arose last minute over things we should have been told weeks earlier. With closing coming up, and our trust in the bank fully broken after a week of fruitless back-and-forth, we decided to get our mortgage elsewhere, but it needed to be fast. I reconnected with Alayna, who gave us a sanity check by confirming the bank was being ridiculous, and snapped into action to help us. Within 36 hours, we had a fantastic rate in hand and were set up with a mortgage processor. Each time we ran into a problem, Alayna - who was readily available via text, phone, and email - as well as others at RMG (Hayley Jackson) and the processing team (Corry O'Neill and Kristina Polson) provided alternate choices or simply solved the problem. We closed on time and have our house, and we have them to thank. There are two morals here: 1. Commercial banks won't lift a finger to help you originate a mortgage, so only apply with them if you feel lucky. 2. If you need a mortgage in North Carolina, call Raleigh Mortgage Group.

We were referred to this mortgage company by our realtor. I wasn't really expecting much in the way…read moreof customer service or attention to detail. I was blown away by the professional and top notch service we received from day one to our closing date. I had gathered some paperwork needed to bring down to their office soon after arriving home from work. It was late in the evening and I couldn't find the hours posted. I drove to the office, got out and found the door locked. I was about to get back in my car when an associate came to the front door invited me in to take the needed paperwork. Here is the kicker though, she didn't just take my paperwork. She had me sit down to discuss the process, time-frames and what was further needed on my end. I am sure after a long day she could have just taken my paperwork and sent me on my way but that did not happen. Customer service and warm people are what this place is about. I would recommend anyone in the area to this company. They have the experience and customer service to ensure a seamless process from start to finish.

We went through two loans together in the past 5 weeks or so, the first one a super-rushed, 10-day-to-close loan that I was bait-and-switched into by another lender but which ultimately fell through due to low-appraisal failed negotiations, the second one being the one I closed escrow with today. You learn a lot about a person during trying times. Believe me, that first loan was a tough situation and very time-critical. Patrick pulled through for me in a time of crisis. All through both loans, Patrick consistently demonstrated commitment, expertise, steadiness, good nature, humor and wit, open communication, honesty, and leadership.
