“Sarah and her team are the best! No matter what they always, responded to my questions, emails, concerns without hesitation, hostility, or complaints. Always kept me informed about needs, delays, and kept positive throughout the whole process. She made the process so much easier. Highly recommend! I will never be able to thank them enough.”
— Leah Sadler, Google Review
“We were going to use a big, nationwide provider. What difference does it really make? My realtor suggested looking local for more personalized service. He recommended Sarah and I'm so glad he did. We had a last minute paperwork snafu come up on Friday afternoon when we were supposed to close on Tuesday. We were out-of-town buyers and had to travel to get there. She took ownership of the process, ran it up the ladder and got everything approved in time. I'm not sure that would have happened with an online lender. Thank you, Sarah, you made it so easy!”
— Sean Sumter, Google Review
“As a first time home buyer, I did not know anything at all about buying a home or getting a loan. Sarah took time explaining the things I needed before continuing on with getting a loan. Knowledgeable, helpful and respectful. I would highly recommend Alcova Mortgage to everyone. Im glad I was recommended to go to Alcova Mortgage!”
— Jonathan Ogden, Google Review
“Sarah was so kind and caring. She was understanding that my husband and I hadn't gone through this process in some time and went slowly and explained everything thoroughly. We were appreciative of her professionalism and knowledge.”
— Dawn Renee, Google Review
“Sarah responded promptly and respectfully to my questions, and she was very personable and kind. I never felt like she was too busy for me. I had unique circumstances for my loan, and she didn't bat an eye at the extra hoops we had to jump through. Thanks, Sarah!”
