Customer Reviews
Thank you all for helping Nathan and I getting into our first home!! We are so excited and can’t thank Each and Everyone one of you enough! Y’all made it Extremely easy and made everything understanding! The help y’all gave was phenomenal I would definitely recommend TEAM LARUSSA!! Again, thank you all so much! This was an amazing experience!!
Ryan’s Team, Adam, Siedda, were wonderful and very patient with me and my thousands of questions all the way up to closing day. I had one question regarding why I had to pay off a credit card that had no balance? At closing, I got a check addressed to that creditor to pay off $76 and I felt that could have been redone or reprocessed by the underwriter and not calculated in my loan/closing cost disclosure.
Very helpful and loan documents were completed on time. Polite staff. Addressed my concerns.
Very smooth process, helpful and professional. It was my first time buying a house without a real estate agent and Ryan and his team could not have make it any easier for me. They help me on every step of the process and they are easy to communicate with. We close in my new house in less than a month. I would recommend them to everyone buying a house, they really take care of their clients.
