“[New School] did an exceptional job of explaining the process in terms that didn’t seem overwhelming. It also helped me set realistic expectations and goals. Shannon’s knowledge of closing costs, and other potential costs were extremely precise. I finished confident and ready to tackle the market knowing exactly what I could afford.”
