Brilliant communicator! Kim helped me to feel confident, capable, and assured through the entire complicated process. She found an amazing rate in a volatile market. Most kindly - when everything looked like it might fall through, she took the time for a compassionate and reassuring phone call. I highly recommend her and her team.

Kim was amazing with her help on our recent mortgage. We went going live with listing our old home to picking up keys for our new home in exactly four weeks. It was so fast and smooth and we couldn’t have done it without Kim. Many thanks!

Over the last 25 years, Kim and her team have helped us with mortgages on three different home purchases and a couple of refinances. Everyone is outstanding. Clear and timely communication, intelligent guidance, and professionalism through every step of the process. Highly recommended!

Kimberly Bean did an amazing job getting me approved for my first home. As a freelancer no matter how in order my books are the process is going to be complicated and we were able to tag team every problem quickly and efficiently. After we ran the preliminary numbers I was able to gauge what houses were really in my budget allowing me to set clear goals and expectations. With that knowledge I was able to set my max monthly payments and closing costs.
Kimberly was able to help answer the many questions I had throughout the process. She was friendly and knowledgeable person I was able to lean on through out the entire process. I'd highly recommend her to anyone needing a mortgage loan.

5 STARS!!! WOW: I am shocked I am the first to write a review for Kim. She was kind and knowledgeable. Her experience was very apparent. She was patient delivered early on closing a loan for my buyer. She made us all feel at ease during this buyers purchase. She was timely to respond and I would be thrilled to collaborate with her again on any project.

Kim was an incredible mortgage agent. We were first-time homebuyers with absolutely no idea what to expect from the process and Kim was there with us the whole way. From going above and beyond in running like 4 versions of financial scenarios at a time for us to be able to compare our options, to helping talk us through each step in the process, she just went really above and beyond. The rates themselves were also super competitive and she's already talking about helping us refinance when and if the opportunity arises. Thanks Kim for such an amazing experience!

Kim answered all our questions, big or small, and was very responsive. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone in need mortgage services.
