Testimonials

Working with Cecelia was refreshing. She has a handle on what is going on in the loan industry; she is upfront with clients and realtors; calls clients and potential clients back; give regular updates; make deadlines; and get the deal closed or tell you why it can't be closed. When you are a realtor she is the type of loan officer you want to work with.

My recommendation of Cecelia has become automatic. She pleasantly demonstrates professionalism, patience, commitment and expectation management. She truly is a consultant. My clients feel comfortable with the process and have realistic expectations after speaking with her. She doesn't just respond to immediate business; she even counseled my clients to help position them to become homeowners.

She is the epitome of professionalism. This lady really works hard for her clients. As far as loan officers go she is on my short list of preferred lenders. Cecelia is knowledgeable about loan products, stays abreast on recent updates to the mortgage industry, and returns phone calls or emails the same day. I believe she's a highly ethical. The most important character trait she possesses is her caring nature. You should call Cecelia first before calling any other mortgage professional.
