Camilla and her team were absolutely amazing. Camilla is very professional, personable and understanding. It is hard to find lenders who understand how important homebuying is for a client on more than just a financial level. Purchasing a property is a commitment that can be very overwhelming. I previously attempted to work with other lenders and their way of handling the process and lack of communication made me seek a different lender. She made the process very easygoing and her communication throughout the entire process was top notch. There was never a moment where I reached out and didn't get a response. I truly cannot thank Camilla enough and would recommend her a million times over. ... Read More

My husband and I retired and decided to move to a place closer to our kids and with less maintenance. We knew we’d need to mortgage a new place since we still owned our original home. Enter Camilla Papaioannou who was recommended by a friend. We started the lending process before we even started looking at new homes. She gave us a quote, kept us informed on market changes, and discussed realistic impacts on our finances that we might experience. Many months later we found a home and Camilla never missed a beat. She kept us up to date on every aspect of the loan process so when we closed on the new home we were very comfortable, prepared, and never surprised with unforeseen expenditures. She has a great team none of whom ever became annoyed when  we were asking questions about the computerized process that we was new to us. You will never be intimated by the daunting process of obtaining a mortgage when you work with Camilla!!  ... Read More
