Melissa is the consummate professional and guided us through this mortgage process with ease. Her prior experience in banking was very helpful in helping us compare and contrast our options. She put a lot of hours in on our deal and at all hours of the day and night, including weekends. Melissa is also well connected in the area with the various lawyers, appraisers and real estate community which was very helpful. We are repeat customers and should we need another mortgage, we'd be sure to work with Melissa and Alcova again.
