I found Ingrid to be passionate about her clients. This started with the introduction to my Realtor, Andrew Harlow who went out of his way to assist me with my special needs.  Then Ingrid introduced me to a builder who could deliver a remodel working with the FHA 203 rehab loan.  She convinced the REO bank to sign the required paperwork so that I could get an MCC credit to save me thousands in tax dollars over the life of my loan.  Without Ingrid's constant communication and explanations I wouldn't have made it through the process. I'm delighted to have found not just an excellent lender, but a now good friend.
