The tellers said they couldn't do anything about it. I then contacted the branch manager and she acted very uncaring and refused to do anything about it. Anything over $1.00 in coins is put into the machine and that's it. Whatever the machine counts is what it is without any recourse to dispute or get your money back out of it.

We ended up having to move unexpectedly quickly and Mike's team took it in stride. We also did a fair amount of shopping and Mike's team charged the best price.

We were under contract in…read moreDecember but did not close until February, Mike remained communicative and informative throughout that entire timeline. This being our first purchase we had no idea what to expect, having met with Mike before we even made an offer we were educated as to what to expect in the process and what Mike and his team offered us. We felt far more confident from that initial meeting and knew we had the right team behind us. Throughout the process Mike kept us up to date regarding interest rate movements and helped us secure a very good rate. He answered our very specific questions, was incredibly timely in his responses back to us, and calmed any nerves we may have had. I highly recommend working with Mike, if you are looking to learn about the mortgage process give Mike a call, you will not be disappointed.

After dealing with the big brands with…read moreTV commercials (and their annoying sales calls, high closing costs and higher rates), I finally found Gene who easily beat the national-chains' rates and closing costs. I knew we were in good hands when he said, "one thing I value most is sleep, so I'd rather get you an honest deal than lose my sleep." I couldn't recommend Gene more to anyone in need of a mortgage refinance. He is simply the best; an honest straight-shooter.

Ryan Gable from Starting Point Realty was our agent when we were shopping for a house. We're first…read moretime home buyers, and even though we did as much self-learning education we could, he taught us there was always more and more to learn during the home buying process. Even though we had a hard time deciding between single family homes (Detached) and town homes/Condos (Attached), Ryan was always patient with us. He was with us every step of the way with great insights on affordability, explaining how home offers work, even when we decided to switch our search locations! No matter the twists and turns we presented (I'm sorry Ryan!!), Ryan stood by our side the entire process. In fact, he was a mentor for us, who went to essentially EVERY single house we wanted to see, who gave valuable opinions and insights on every home and even the area where the home was located. He checked in with us and made sure we actually loved the house instead of pushing us towards a home to make a quick sale. Ryan is the kind of real estate agent you would want; patient, will educate you during the whole process, and will ensure you're taken care of during the whole process!

Ryan was down to earth and walked us through each step, always respectful of our situation and perspective while providing honest and insightful counsel. Ryan worked with us even before any formal agreement, advising on remodeling and market value. We had to sell our condo due to unemployment, it was an emotionally difficult process but Ryan and his team were always supportive and compassionate. Ryan went above and beyond in terms of availability and providing hands on help. This process could have been an absolute nightmare with a lesser realtor, but we always felt safe guided by Ryan's expertise.

In a business where responsiveness can make or break a deal, Lindsey Paulus stands apart. From the…read moremoment our team is scheduled for a shoot, she communicates clearly, professionally, and promptly -- and if anything changes, she's on top of it before we even have to ask. That kind of genuine consideration for the people she works with is rare, and it means the world to us. Our photographer doesn't just show up to Lindsey's listings -- they look forward to them. She makes every person she works with feel truly appreciated, and that culture of respect and professionalism radiates through everything she does. Every listing is ready. Every time. No shortcuts, no compromises. The consistency of quality she brings to her work is something we have come to count on -- and deeply appreciate. What truly sets Lindsey apart is how she approaches marketing. She doesn't run the same playbook on every listing. She takes the time to understand what makes each property unique and builds a plan specifically around what will make that home sell. In an industry where so many agents default to doing the same thing every time, Lindsey's commitment to doing what's actually right for each client -- not what's easiest -- is something we are genuinely grateful for. We are lucky to work alongside someone who cares this much. Thank you, Lindsey.

This is the second time Lindsey has represented me - the first time was selling my home, this time…read morewas purchasing a home. Both times, Lindsey was a true pleasure to work with. From the purchasing perspective, Lindsey was invaluable during the negotiation process, coaching us on the best way to present an offer, responding to the counter, and getting us to an accepted contract. She even traveled to the home to perform a video call so I could check some mechanical items at the last minute before the seller's counter expired. Lindsey consistently kept tabs on every following step, ensuring that all the preparation for the sale was done correctly and prompting the appropriate parties to take action when needed. For this reason, even though we were on a very abbreviated close schedule, the sale was completed on time and without any real incidents. Aside from her professionalism, Lindsey is kind, considerate, and personable. I've bought and sold several houses, and have never worked with an agent as exceptional as Lindsey. I would, without hesitation, recommend her to anyone.
