“Working with Kerry Ettinger has been an absolute pleasure! From day one, Kerry went above and beyond to make the home-buying process smooth and stress-free. He was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always available — literally 24/7 — to answer every question we had (and there were a lot!).

What really stood out was how thorough and proactive Kerry was — if he didn’t have an immediate answer, he would research it right away and even connect us with the right people to make sure we had the best information possible. His professionalism, warmth, and dedication truly made all the difference.

If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares, takes the time to guide you through every step, and treats your goals as her own, Kerry is the one you want by your side. I can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“We really enjoyed working with Jack Terrell and his team as our mortage broker. They made it extremely easy as they provided great advice and guidance through the whole process.”

“We had an amazing experience working with Ryan and his assistant, Jada, on our mortgage. As first-time homebuyers, we had a lot of questions, and they were there for us every step of the way, patiently explaining the process and working tirelessly to find the best solutions for our situation.

They were incredibly responsive, proactive, and transparent throughout, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even after everything was finalized, they continued to support us by helping with next steps and clarifying potential scams (which, as first-time buyers, was extremely valuable).

We truly felt taken care of from start to finish and can’t recommend Ryan and Jada highly enough to anyone. :)”

“Thank you for getting me into my first home!I want to give Markeshia Calimee from this office a 10 star/highly recommended review. I can not thank Markeshia enough for everything she has done for me and my family during this journey to homeownership. Markeshia is incredibly knowledgeable about all things related to real estate and she is aware of new or upcoming programs that help first time homebuyers.To start, I did not know much about the process and I was a bit nervous to get started but unlike other realtors I called she made me feel comfortable and she made sure to explain processes or any terms I was unfamiliar with. She went above and beyond to ensure I knew what I was signing or instructions I needed to do.At times this process was complicated and a bit confusing but every time I had a question Markeshia answered her phone. I was able to call morning, afternoon and even late nights when matters were urgent. This was a very important thing to me and a large investment and she treated my journey as if it was her own. She was able to secure my funding, down payment assistance program, and even showed me the house I ended up purchasing and she handled my offer letter and all other task related to the home down to the inspection.Buying a home can be overwhelming but with Markeshia’s consistent and reliable help It was a seamless process and she made it fun! Not to mention she has a lot of connections which makes the process very smooth. Markeshia set up all of my home inspections, gave good recommendations for repairs or other home needs, setup my account for home insurance, and anything else I may have needed. All the tasks she did were thorough and accurate. Anytime I had questions or doubts she advocated for me and reached out to the seller to ensure I got the best deal. My family and I really enjoyed talking with her over the course of this process (and we are a bit sad it's over because we miss the frequent calls and check-ins on the house progress :) ).I can not thank Markeshia enough for the many days and hours she put into this and because of her consistency I can now say I am a first time home buyer and she got me into my dream house as this was the home I really wanted. I literally called her to ask if she can do a viewing of the home I found online and she worked day and night until she finally got me in there. Thank you so very much Markeshia. My family and I will be coming only to you if we ever are in the market again!”

“Ryan Olson is a rock star loan officer. Having undergone the home buying process numerous times in the past with other lenders, I thought I knew exactly what to expect when I was referred, as a new client, to Ryan by my realtor. I was mistaken. Ryan managed to distinguish himself immediately and in many invaluable ways: true to his word, earnest, industrious, relentless and RELIABLE. I approached him with a collection of unconventional, nearly impossible personal/financial variables that would have made other seasoned loan officers pass on helping me. From our initial contact, through the successful funding of the loan, Ryan offered grounded, unvarnished thoughts on my loan potential, while serving up pragmatic, effective methods to approach - and overcome - potentially difficult obstacles. I never felt unheard or abandoned at any point during my loan process. It was a relief to know that Ryan was as committed to my application as I was. He never left my side - readily accessible day and night, despite being a committed, young husband with a growing family to whom he was clearly devoted. Ryan's expertise, honesty and unwavering hustle are at the crux of this unequivocal endorsement. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND POTENTIAL HOMEBUYERS TO SEEK RYAN OLSON OUT, SPECIFICALLY, FOR THEIR HOME LOAN NEEDS. He will get any repeat business I may launch for my own personal future endeavors.”
