Great experience with Kris!

We refinanced our mortgage (twice!) with Kris Kurth, and he gave us a positive and rewarding experience every step of the way. He truly is a top mortgage broker who knows this business well! Within a few short weeks, everything was completed, paperwork done, and we had our money to pay off some debt and secure a better future. Thank you, Kris, for your patience and expertise! It was great doing business with you again.
