As I reflect back on 2017 and I can'thelp but think of the biggest loss of my life, my better half, my husband. So many changes came along after he was gone and one was our mortgage and everything that comes along with it. For months I dealt with our previous mortgage company and after not hearing back from them I felt frustrated and dealing with this on my own made everything worse. In my desperation I talked to a friend and she directed me to Valentina, her along with all of her team worked amazingly fast. This time I was overwhelmed because of how fast everything was moving and because I was seeing the light at the end of this tunnel. As much as I was nervous and anxious they were extremely patient with me and for that I am beyond greatful. I'm sure my husband would agree. read more

My husband and I just bought our first home and Valentina Estes was the person who got us there. It was a long and TEDIOUS road to travel however, Valentina was able to guide us along the way. What my husband and I appreciated the most was her swift reply every time I asked a question or was unsure of something. She was always quick to text or call back. She never kept us "hanging." She was able to point us in the right direction as to how to work on our credit and get the best possible rate available for us. She is a hard working professional in every sense of the word. Buying a home for the first time can be quite overwhelming and totally intimidating but with Valentina by your side you are sure to relax a little knowing that she has your best interests at heart. read more
