"As a first-time homebuyer, the mortgage process was something I was both excited and nervous about. Working with Nicole Laudano from Ascend Financial Network made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. From our first conversation, she was incredibly patient, taking the time to explain every detail and answer all my questions, no matter how small.
Several options that suited my financial situation were provided to me. Nicole walked me through the pros and cons of each. What I appreciated most was their honesty and transparency—she made sure I understood what to expect at every step of the process.
Nicole's expertise and dedication truly made a difference, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Nicole Laudano to anyone, especially if you're new to the homebuying process!"
