Rimmy was excellent to work with! He assisted us in obtaining a first mortgage on a house in December 2022. Through the entire process from prequalification to closing, Rimmy was helpful, responsive, and friendly. Rimmy (and his colleague Shalaka) were able to answer my questions clearly and were great at explaining both the various disclosure documents involved and the documents that I needed to provide. We highly recommend Rimmy to anyone searching for a mortgage loan officer!
Rimmy has been so wonderful to work with. He has been very patient, understanding and personable during this process of securing a loan. Thus far, he has gone above and beyond! A true professional!
I don't move frequently, and when I have, I've often felt overwhelmed and out of my depth with the terms and numbers involved in financing. Rimmy Dunlop was recommended by my real estate agent, and I couldn't have been in better hands. Rimmy is responsive, pleasant and patient: he took time to explain things until I got it (even a couple of times when it was pretty clearly not super convenient for him). Consequently, this was a seamless and hassle-free experience for me. I'm happy to have a mortgage with First American, and the process started with Rimmy Dunlop. Have an initial consultation with him, and you'll see what I mean.
RIMMY is the best! He helped my wife and I get our dream home. His professionalism and knowledge of the market is second to none! I just wish I needed a second home and I would use RIMMY again!
Rimmy was such a pleasure to work with. He was so knowledgeable, helpful and patient in explaining the whole process of buying our second home. I would definitely use him again and highly recommend him.
Rimmy was amazingly easy to work with and eased the stress of getting a mortgage! He was very communicative throughout the entire process and was able to answer all our questions. We had a great experience with him!
