This review is for John Georgi at HomeLoans in Lansing, MI…read more We needed a mortgage professional in Michigan, as we were looking into purchasing a cabin in the "Northern" parts...having never "done a deal" in the Mitten State before, I was a bit stumped as to where to start. Luckily, my stepbrother used to be in the mortgage business in Lansing and referred us over to John at HomeLoans. Excellent recommendation, and we could not have been more pleased with the professionalism and service we received from John -- start to finish. From the very first interaction, I knew things would go smoothly. John has everything about the buying process/mortgage qualifications on lockdown. He's very familiar with the ins and outs of Michigan home buying. He's super responsive, especially via email...which was important to us as we were operating with a 5 hour time difference. He was always happy to chat via phone as well. My husband is a very tough mortgage customer (it pays to ask questions and be prudent, I suppose!) and John handled everything to his satisfaction, and then some. If you get 5-stars from Nick F (he promises to also write) it's really like 10 stars. Organized, efficient, professional and honest. Every step of the way things were handled so well, I almost couldn't believe it. I've had some nightmare mortgage brokers in the past that really soured me on the whole profession. John has reversed my thinking. I know I sound like an advert, but it's really true. It isn't that easy to find someone in this field that makes the process smooth and easier to digest, let alone...enjoyable!? In the end, we closed our "summer cabin" with very little difficulty (well, on the mortgage side of things, anyway!). John coordinated everything perfectly for a remote closing (not that easy) in the week between Christmas and New Years (even less easy), ran interference with the title company -- and really did us a solid. Would highly recommend him and this company, I have to believe his associates are of the same caliber though I cannot personally vouch. Very pleased we were put in touch with him and that I can spread the word should anyone be looking for a "mortgage guy" that is honest, effective and smart. Thanks, John!

Furthermore, he showed me various properties and quickly provided me with many options for purchasing my first home. He was by my side throughout the entire process, offering recommendations; honestly, I don't see how I could have completed my purchase without his assistance. I wholeheartedly recommend his services; he is a very kind and highly professional individual.

We were incredibly fortunate to work with Realtor Stephanie Holly. Stephanie was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and available! She was our eyes and ears on the ground, and treated our purchase as though it were equally important to her as it was to us. Stephanie kept us in the loop from many miles away. She made herself available for last minute showings, (always including us on Zoom). She communicated with vendors on our behalf, and researched issues that were specific to our situation. We felt as though were were in good hands throughout the entire home buying process. I would recommend working with Stephanie Holly again and again!

Kari used her husband as the home inspector but failed to disclose this to anyone....he also posed as a septic inspector although he is not licensed to do so. She showed up posing as the inspector herself and took a water sample and set the radon machine. Her husband showed up two days later as the "septic inspector". Kari never disclosed to us her relationship with him or even her own identification as the realtor representing our buyers. I was able to put it together on my own. This caused several unneccesary delays and headaches to an already lengthy process. She has been reported to her Board of Realtors and is under investigation for ethical violations.

Additionally, he has made the process fun and informative. He always asked the right questions to help determine what we expect from a home without putting us in a binary position of yes/no to any specific feature as a need/want. Furthermore, Alex's passion as a realtor is unquestionably at his core. He knows the process, the strategies, the approaches, the techniques, the ins and outs, and is thrilled by it at every stage. During several outings, Alex always took the time to make sure we understood exactly the finer points of the process and made sure to explain the things that might be confusing. One time, after informing him that we didn't know much about the process, Alex brought us to several homes just so we could learn about what types of features we like. At another home, my wife and I quickly became enamored with the house as a space without considering the potential issues, but Alex was there to point out some of the potential concerns that we had overlooked. Alex's concern is for his clients and it has alleviated any and all fears my wife and I had about buying a home.
