It was a smooth process from start to finish and I appreciate the time each of them took to answer any questions I may have had with respect to the process, the paperwork, etc. They were all incredibly kind, helpful, and responsive no matter how small the question may have been, and as a first time homebuyer I am very grateful for that.
