Jackie is the best
“This is my second opportunity I was able to work with Jackie. As soon as I needed to secure financing, I knew who I was going to call.

I highly recommend Jackie to anyone in need of a lender”

The Kind of Broker You Hope to Find
“Honesty is the most important quality I look for, and that is exactly what stood out with Jackie. She was upfront about everything and never tried to sneak in hidden fees like so many others do. On top of that, her expertise saved me money. I thought about waiting, but she used her experience to lock in at the perfect time. Quite literally had I waited a day longer, I would have had a higher rate. She also beat many other quotes from different Lenders right away, which gave me complete confidence I was in good hands. I am grateful for how she handled the process, and she will be the first person I call for any future mortgage or refinance.”
—Alex from Sterling, VA
Excellent Knowledge and extremely helpful!
“I had the best experience working with Jackie for getting approved for a house loan as a first time home buyer. I was throughly impressed with her in depth knowledge of the process, market and current trends for home buying. She was extremely detail oriented and provided clear instructions about each and every step in the home buying process and patiently answered all our questions and clarifications. I would highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking to a get home loan especially first time buyers. We felt like she always had our back and was really proactive in making sure the loan was closed in timely manner. We are really grateful for all her help and guidance through the home buying process. ”
