Testimonials As first time homebuyers Lara helped navigate us through the financial possibilities in a clear and concise manner. She maintained nearly daily contact with us, revising, updating and reassuring us through all steps of this process. It is no small measure to her that we now find ourselves with a beautiful home for our family. Her help and professionalism have been exemplary and we will recommend her highly to others in the future. J.J. We wanted to thank you so much for all your help and hard work. We enjoyed working with you and thank you for all your help in getting us such a wonderful loan. Thanks for making our first time buying a home so smooth and easy. N.G. & M. G. Thank you for guiding us through the confusing twists and turns of our first mortgage. We couldn’t have done it without you. D.F. & T. F. I have worked with Lara Blake for a number of years and have found her to be extremely knowledgeable, honest, and responsive to my clients needs. When I present an offer on behalf of my clients who are pre-approved and working with Lara, my clients have an advantage since Lara has a great local reputation for closing deals on time and as promised...even early! Whenever I start to work with new clients, the first thing I have them do before all else is talk with Lara about financing. Once Lara is on the scene, I feel confident to move forward with buyers knowing they will be able to complete the purchase. I highly recommend her and her team.
