Chantelle Perkins was absolutely wonderful. If it wasn't for her constanting checking in with me and offering assistance, I might have gotten discouraged. Her customer service was superior to what I've experienced from other financial institutions. Some of the other folks I dealt with were not so good at providing information and answering questions. That was why I did not give the highest rating. Chantelle answered my questions immediately and followed up on any concerns I had. I give my interactions with Chantelle the absolute highest ranking. When I recommend Embrace Home Loan to anyone, I'll tell them to make sure they are working with Chantelle.

I always feel confident referring my buyers to Michael and Matt. As always, they took the time to patiently answer every question along the way, which makes a huge difference especially for buyers who are navigating the process for the first time. The commitment came together quickly, and the loan closed right on time with no last-minute surprises, which is exactly what you want in this business. What really sets them apart is their Appraised Value Waiver Program. I’ve never seen another lender offer anything like it, and it’s proven to be an invaluable tool for my clients. I highly recommend Michael, Matt, and their entire team to any agent looking for a lending partner that will take great care of their buyers.

The communication from the team was top-notch on a 30-day closing. The team was able to provide detailed instructions on what was required and by when. It was a pleasure having Michael and his team on my side for closing.
