Kellee Larsen is a mortgage broker with integrity. She can be trusted to actually lookout for the best interests in your purchase. You can believe what she tells you, and her judgment. She is one of the few and far between people in this business that you can go to, follow her advice, and actually walk away from the experience with confidence that you have been in good hands, and have been treated with care and consideration. I recommend her to everyone - she has taken me through my purchase and my refinances. She locked my current loan into place and kept me financially safe through this mortgage mess we call an economic crisis. She called me when it was time to change loans, she maintained a file on my loan even after it was complete and let me know when there was an opportunity to get a better payment or interest rate. I am a researcher - for every major purchase, I spend hours agonizing over every detail, and buying my home was no different. I bought my house at the top of the real estate bubble; in 2005, I put zero down - took a second Home Equity Line of Credit, and bought myself a great home I just barely qualified for. I reviewed 8 major broker / bank offers I went to all the first time home buyer seminars, I worked with an amazing Realtor®, and she recommended Kellee Larsen. Kellee beat every other offer I had without even negotiating. She held my hand and explained over and over, the details I was signing up for. She made sure that when looked into no-doc loans, and zero down, that I understood what I was getting into. She was the opposite of predatory lending in a time when my friends were buying houses they would lose in just a few short years. Kellee took my calls at all hours, she patiently explained things to me over and over, she worked up any scenario we could reasonably review, and helped me choose the best thing for me. Five years later, when so many of my friends and acquaintances are renting again with their credit torn to shreds, I am safe and secure in my house, and it's because Kellee made sure I would be. If you are refinancing, buying a house, etc - working with Kellee is the best thing you could possibly do for yourself. You don't even have to be local. Kellee has spent a ton of time recently helping my best friend get the best deal she can pick in Belmont, CA - and even though I was much closer - I never had to drive out anywhere, or make an inconvenient trip. All my paperwork was handled electronically and by fax at my request, and even the notary came to me for signatures. It was a dream.
