I spent weeks looking for a mortgage financing company wanting to refinance my home. Laurie Van Bogaert reached out to me via a telephone call. Upon speaking with Laurie for a few minutes, I felt comfortable working with her. Questions answered, and the process began. Laurie was very thoughtful and understanding regarding my situation. Her knowledge and expertise made my quest for a refinance seamless. I will certainly call Laurie with my future financial issues. Thank you Laurie.
I worked with Laurie V to get out current mortgage and to say it was a pleasure is an understatement. She was phenomenal! She made the whole process so easy and smooth. She communicated with us daily and kept tabs on the process from start to finish. She made it seem like it wasn’t just transactional and that for us, was everything. This is the second time I’ve used First American for purchasing a home and I would highly recommend them. Especially Laurie!!
I recently went through a process of putting a small mortgage on my house and being a widow I was very scared to do this. But Laurie gave me lots of guidance and advice about all of it. We had lots of talks on the phone getting to know each other and she was very knowledgeable about mortgage loans and what she could do for me. I really appreciate her being so patient with me. One of the Very best loan Officer I’ve ever dealt with. I would highly recommend anyone to go to First American Bank.
1st American Bank is great. Laurie helped us with an equity loan. She walked us through the process. It was so quick and easy. I am definitely going to them for any future banking.
Laurie was AMAZING to work with. I'm a first time buyer who was very confused and stressed about the whole process (as one tends to be!!) plus, I had a pretty tight deadline for closing. I couldn't have asked for someone better than Laurie!! She was patient and kind, answered all my questions (no matter how silly) and was wonderful with communication. She was able to help me move things along quickly and was always completely transparent. I really can't say enough wonderful things about her. Thank you for helping me get my dream home!
Working with Laurie as she helped us through our loan process was seamless! Her professionalism, knowledge, and communication skills are exemplary! We highly recommend using Laura!
