Vanessa Keyes has to be the most professional, responsive and compassionate person I have ever met. People like her build your brand - your credibility. Her responsive, always available "just a text away" relationship allowed me to calm my emotional self down when thoughts or concerns arrived in my head. She is a true partner, and genuinely cares about her clients. That means the world to me - to anyone. I felt like I was her only client - the entire time. The entire process was flawless - a few small hiccups for which she did say "no worries - this will work out - stay tuned." It did. I closed. Now I'm over the moon. Thank you Guaranteed Rate - and thank you Vanessa, for choosing what you do - and doing it so incredibly well.
