Their system for communicating throughout the process is unmatched as every client is made aware during their initial consultation of every document and every step necessary for a successful and stress-free closing. After that it only gets better as everyone receives a weekly update in writing of every action taken along with a real-time accounting of where the file is in process. Putting the cherry on top, every client receives a personalized reserved parking space, a customized mortgage plan, their top-ten written guarantees, an assorted offering of refreshments and even a customized umbrella if the weather isn’t cooperating when you are ready to leave. WOW!
