We came to Linda Mister-Owens on a referral from our trusted Realtor (see separate review). She…read moresaid "Call Linda. In all the 2+ years I've known her, if she says she can do the loan, she delivers 100% of the time." That was all that we needed. We called her, gave her our scenario, and she told us she could do the loan. Our home contract had gone belly up when our previous lender had missed our closing date on December 9th. Linda and her incredibly experienced team worked diligently to get us in the home in record time. They even had roadblock after roadblock with the previous lender, including ethical issues that Linda coached us through. And she still managed to close on our house 10 days later. I still don't know how she did it, but she pulled out all the stops and made it happen, with the primary goal of getting our family in the house in time for Christmas. A wonderful group, and seriously, the best Loan Officer EVER. She completely has our loyalty! THE GOOD (Not all inclusive) Very quick response time Incredibly experienced Has Underwriter experience, so knows exactly how to package your loan for the UW Digital documents (via Docusign) Cares about her customers (as does the whole team) Large team = always covered when anyone is out of the office A trusted advisor Loan types: FHA, VA, CONVENTIONAL, JUMBO, USDA, BOND LOANS, TEXAS VET and many others All types of refinances, etc. THE BAD Not a darn thing!

I had problems at 2 other companies. Not because i couldnt buy but they didn't seem to care about…read moreservice. 1 of them returned my phone call after 4 days. They changed the rate on me before closing because it wasn't locked they said. I had asked them to lock it. A friend told me to call Linda Mister and her team. Linda called me back and spent an hour explaining things to me. Then she introduced me to her very knowledgeable team. They were all very nice and really cared about my business and made me feel special. I saw Linda's wall and it had about 100 awards on it for doing a good job. I know she was very busy but I always got a call back and I understood everything that was going on throughout the process. I will always recommend Linda and her team. I want to thank them for helping me get into my home. My sales price was 400k and I was doing 5 percent down.
