First time homebuyer review: I was referred to Esther and her team through my realtor and could not have been happier with my experience. Esther was quick and focused on finding me the best mortgage rate and made it clear that it was her business to help reduce my costs and save me as much money as she could. Unique to my experience: during escrow I had made the mistake of paying for my home insurance policy with personal funds; something I was NOT supposed to do as I had separate credit that was to be used for that expense. To ensure that I was maximizing spending of my credits, Esther worked with me as I had a new home insurance policy drawn up and she and her team worked on processing and getting my loan approved on a time crunch. Esther and her team got the job done within the shortened time window, and it was all because she wanted to optimize my credit usage and save ME money. If any of this sounds like the kind of loan agent you want to work with, give her a call and hopefully she’ll be able to offer you the same fantastic service she offered me
Hands down the best loan agent we've ever worked with! We recently worked with Esther and her team on our mortgage loan, and the experience was beyond amazing. From the very first call to closing day, Esther was professional, patient, and truly cared about helping us get the best possible deal. She walked us through every step of the loan process -- explained everything clearly, answered all our questions, and made sure we always knew what to expect next. Communication was always quick and transparent, which made the entire experience stress-free. If you're looking for someone reliable, responsive, and genuinely great to work with, I can't recommend Esther enough. We're so grateful for all the hard work and care that went into making our home loan happen -- thank you!!
No other professionals that we currently trust other than Esther and Paul when it comes to home loan or refinancing. They always make the whole process seems much less intimidating. It feels more like asking our own good friend for advice. They are excellent educator and communicator, explaining our options, answering our questions, and guiding us step by step along the complicated process. We highly highly recommend them and will certainly choose them again in the future.
Was looking for a one-stop shop to search for the best conventional jumbo 30yr loan, and Esther and Paul delivered! They answered all of my wife and I's questions from literally knowing nothing about the mortgage process all the way through close of escrow, as well as taking the extra time off hours to update documents over our 8 month long house hunt. It was honestly so much easier working with the Loan Story than major banks, the service was personal, professional, and honest. Couldn't ask for a smoother financing journey. Thank you Esther, Paul, & Loan Story Team!
Esther and her team recently helped my partner and I close on a SFH and we could not be happier with her and her team's work. They were incredibly communicative, transparent, easy to work with, and responsive. We were especially appreciative that Esther was always available if we had questions (even well outside working hours!) and responded within hours, sometimes within minutes, to any inquires we had. As first time homebuyers, Esther and her team made us feel comfortable and informed at every step of the way.
