Patty Harrison from Smart Mortgage Centers really turned our dream into a reality. Before Patty, we struggled with a different mortgage company who basically gave us the run around and dodged our calls. The person at the previous company told us we needed to wait months to get a pre-approval and until our credit was a little higher she couldn’t help us. We lost all hope until we decided to post a question on Zillow and Patty replied almost immediately. The next day we were pre-approved and ready to start house hunting. We found the house of our dreams and the process was close to seamless. Patty was always responsive and we never felt judged, it was our first time buying so we had MANY questions. We couldn’t have asked for a better home buying experience. When the time for closing came, we had heard a few horror stories but our experience was once again seamless and in 2 hours, we were out. We were lucky to have found Patty- we will for sure send all of our friends and family her way. For any veterans out there this is the person you want on your side!

Finding help in obtaining a mortgage with less than stellar credit is very frustrating. But with the help of Patty and her team the process of becoming a homeowner became a reality in little time. She gave me the opportunity that at times I thought was impossible. Thanks again to Patty and Kelly at Smart Mortgage for making the dream of home ownership a reality.

She was like a big sister to me. She helped me raise my credit and then get me approved for my beautiful home. She made the process really easy for me. Whenever I had a question I felt like she was always there with a answer. I’m really glad that I found her and would recommend her to everyone. My realtor exact words about Patty Harrison was “this woman is really working hard for you.” Thank you Patty!!!
