This was a very emotional process to sell our family home of 49 years. They made sure there was no sting in the escrow process.

Lindsey Michael left a note at dozens of houses today in Normal Heights. It looks like it's…read morehand-written, but judging from all the folks who posted it on next-door.com, it's computer generated. The note says "I had to pull over" and "I want to buy this house." She leaves a number to call or text, which of course, I didn't do--especially when she signed it "Thanks a million!" with dollar signs over the "i's" in million. It's on a piece of paper that looks like it's been ripped in half from a larger sheet, as if this person had just stopped by our home and left it quickly. I would never do business with someone who does sneaky, underhanded soliciting. If you are interested in buying a house, then show your interest forthright and do not fake like you've driven by and fallen in love with my house when you've left the same note (different colored paper) on many homes in the neighborhood.

From a borrower's standpoint, there are two critical factors in a home loan: 1) can the lender do…read moreit in time? 2) what's the rate? John Heffron solved both of these issues perfectly for me yesterday. I had less than 30 days before closing on a single family residence, but I wasn't sure that the rate on my pending loan was the best it could be. I was referred to Loan Depot by a Wells Fargo loan officer, who said he couldn't close in less than 35 days due to COVID madness. I also called Chase, American Financial and Benchmark. John beat them all on rates and he was able to confirm that he could close in the time that I needed. In the end, I wasn't able to turn around my documents in time to hold up my end of the bargain. However, the next time I'm in the market for a mortgage, John will be my first and likely last call.

If you can find another mortgage company/realtors, please do it. First, their realtors are horrible…read morewho don't know up from down. Had to switch half way through to another within the same company and even though the second one was better he still dropped the ball on things and didn't even deliver me my keys to my new house - made me go by myself to the house and then had the SELLERS REALTOR DELIVER ME MY KEYS. No gift for my new house. Nothing. The interest rate was higher than I expected and the mortgage payment I was quoted originally was not what ended up being my true payment until after closing. Closing costs were much higher than I was quoted at the beginning and even though I asked for more inspections be done, the realtor didn't schedule them. It was a BAD experience all around. But at the end I had my house and thought it was over. Fast forward 6 months into my mortgage during COVID, I hear from my realtor who is also a broker whose wife (at the same company) tells me that they can refi me to lower my interest rate to 3.375%. I explicitly was told there would be no hard look into my credit and all they needed was my mortgage statement, pay stubs, and W-2. I filled out an application and gave everything they needed. 3-4 days pass and nothing. When I check in, I get told "please confirm your debt to income ratio below" so I tell them that I was told this was not going to be a hard look at my credit which I did not want to do when I was approached. The realtor said he'd talk to his wife who did "confirm" she said she only needed the documents she told me but turns out the lender needed my debt to income ratio. I asked about that at the get go and was told nothing else was needed. They are in the habit of lying, not being professional or reliable for clients and I can't recommend enough that people should avoid them. Please, do not use them for buying a house or for a mortgage. I truly regret using them. TRULY.

This review is well deserved and definitely overdue. Adam Horde was my broker for my first home and…read moreI could not be happier! Adam helped me buy my house in mid 2021. I had absolutely 0 knowledge of the real estate industry and even less knowledge of how real estate loans work. I also had a lot of questions.... and then even more questions. Adam was always happy to explain to me anything I needed. He was always patient and understanding when I needed further explanation. Adam also knew all the right questions to ask to get me the best deal possible. He found me a great program that really helped me with my personal situation to be able to afford what I could. He always advised me in what would be best for me and my financial situation. During closing, we hit a bump in the road with the inspection and Adam moved heaven and earth to help get the deal across the finish line. I really appreciate all the extra help and attention he gave me. If you are nervous about the financial side of buying a house, Adam is the guy to see! I will definitely reach out again when I need more help!

I can barely begin to describe all of the headaches that Lyndie saved us from by navigating issues with sellers, putting in and responding to offers, and taking care of complicated paperwork. We really needed someone to be on our side through all of the negotiations and she really came through for us! Plus, every question we threw her way she had an experienced answer for and she was able to provide excellent recommendations and took care of scheduling any external inspection services we needed. She was also very extremely patient when searching for the exact property we wanted. We probably visited 60+ properties and were worried about demanding so much of her attention, but Lyndie was always there for us and it was never a problem no matter how many properties we looked at--she never gave up on us and helped us keep going when we hit setbacks. We felt like we were her only clients (though we know for sure we weren't!) We truly are living in our dream home and I know this would have never been possible without her help!
