If we buy a new home ever, we will call Sue directly. Because of Sue, we live in our dream home and environment with the best rate humanly possible! Sue led the beginning of our journey—4 months before we bought our new home—and gave my wife and I excellent consult on what to pay off and when to ensure we could buy our new home without too quickly selling our current home. She laid out our path forward, in detail, based on our income and cash flow, since she understood this was our first time buying out of state. She was also able to give us a purchase price to work with from the start. We were able to pay off both of our cars and buy our new home in our dream area of Gualala/Sea Ranch thanks to Sue. We pay a rate so low I'm so pleasantly surprised at our mortgage payment! We couldn't have done this without her care, her motivation and some "elbow grease" when things weren't moving as fast as they should on the realtor side. Thank you, Sue!

We got introduced to Sue by Coldwell banker relator for our mortgage. However, we have been working with BofA-ML/WF/FCU for mortgage loan when we got introduced to Sue. With in few days of interactions (her professional approach, prompt answers to queries and amazing speed of responses) made us think ... about other financial institutions we were exploring. Once our offer got accepted, Sue worked on every details of the the mortgage to us the get best rate for 30yr fixed (below 3%) was our dream come true. For first time buyer, I can't be more appreciative of Sue's support and professionalism to make this memorable and no hassle experience. I can vouch for "Sue is the best when it come to mortgage loans"...

Knowing our loan was being managed by Sue greatly reduced the stress of buying a home. Sue was always prompt and responsive, making herself available even outside of normal business hours to answer questions. When answering our questions and providing us with education about loans and the process of purchasing a home, Sue was able to explain things in a way that made everything suddenly so much simpler! She also has a calming demeanor that is invaluable during such a stressful process. I always felt better after speaking with her. Sue was actively involved throughout the whole process of buying a home and regularly updated us regarding our loan. In the end, she secured a better loan and interest rate than we had expected. In short, I highly recommend Sue for her extensive experience, excellent communication skills and responsiveness, and her reliability.

The online application and documentation submittal process for the application was also very user-friendly. Sue and her entire team were very responsive over both email and text message (Sue was happy to connect by phone as well if needed).

We started our search for a house in Sunnyvale a couple of years ago. Throughout that time, through many ups and downs, Sue stuck with us. She Provided the documents needed throughout this stressful time. She made the loan process easy and was also available to answer our questions. I called or emailed her many times and she was readily available and happy to assist.

When we found a house in Roseville Ca., she worked with the Realtor to bring the purchase to a quick close. In fact, we closed a week before the original close date. The communication and collaboration in this long distance endeavor was amazing. My Realtor was also impressed by Sue's knowledge and drive to keep the purchase process on track.

I am very grateful to Sue Baker-Dirickson for her guidance throughout our journey to obtain the home of our dreams. Without hesitation I would recommend Sue to anyone in search of a mortgage lender representative

Sue helped us get our loan for our first home. I would give Sue and her team the highest recommendation. In particular, Sue was extremely responsive, getting a preapproval done within a few hours of our asking for it so that we could make a timely offer with a competing one coming in as well. During the process of getting our loan, Sue was unavailable for a portion due to family circumstances but her team picked up where needed and followed through with us each step of the way.

When my wife and I were ready to start looking seriously into buying a house in the Santa Cruz area, Mrs. Baker-Dirickson and our agent worked very diligently to get us a pre-approval letter and eventually a loan. We really appreciated her commitment to us and getting our documents collected and processed efficiently and effectively. She also answered many of our 'first time homebuyer' questions along the way. We would strongly recommend working with her and her team at Princeton Capital when looking to finance the purchase of your next home.
