“I just wanted to take a moment to write a quick testimonial regarding the service I received from Charlene Elliot throughout my home buying process. Everything went great! I must say that there were times when it looked a little shady due to me being a contractor and the banks not totally in love with my “short term work status”, however Charlene went HARD to get me approved. I had a very small deadline and she pushed the banks hard and was able to get me in on time, and trust me it really looked to be an unachievable date, and wasn’t looking good for me, it was stressful and Charlene kept me in the loop at every minute of the whole ordeal. I was recommend to go to Charlene by another friend that had also been done well by her, and I will always say that she’s a hard worker and I will always recommend her as well. I’m very glad I chose Charlene to help me out (and not just because of the delish brownies she had sent to my house afterwards, hah!) Brass Tacks: All around great friendly service that may be hard to find one to compare. Thanks” Charlene.
