I had an incredible opportunity to work with Chris and his wife, Kristen, throughout the purchase of our Taylor Morrison townhome here in Charlotte, NC, which we officially closed on March 20, 2026. From day one, they both went above and beyond in a way that truly set them apart from what I expected out of a lender partnership. Their dynamic as a husband-and-wife team genuinely strengthens the value they bring. You can tell this isn’t just a transaction for them—it’s a partnership. Chris brings a personable, down-to-earth, and genuinely trustworthy approach, while Kristen is incredibly sharp on the financial side, detail-oriented, and always on top of communication. Together, they create a balance that made us feel confident every step of the way. As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I had a lot of questions, and over the course of the past three months, Chris and Kristen were consistently there for us. They took the time to walk us through every decision, making sure we fully understood our options. One thing that really stood out was how intentional they were about helping us secure the best possible rate while also being strategic with discount points. They didn’t just push us in one direction—they made sure we understood what made sense for our specific financial situation and, just as importantly, what didn’t. Their level of diligence and care is something I truly respect. They weren’t just trying to “close a deal”—they were focused on making sure we were set up in the best way possible for the long term. That kind of mindset is rare. Communication was another area where they absolutely excelled. No matter the time or day, whether I reached out via email or text, Chris and Kristen were incredibly responsive—often getting back to me within minutes. That level of accessibility made a huge difference, especially during time-sensitive parts of the process. Beyond the professionalism, they’re just great people. Chris brings a sense of humor and relatability that makes the process feel less stressful, and Kristen consistently follows through with clear, detailed communication that keeps everything organized and on track. I’m genuinely blown away by their level of professionalism, transparency, trustworthiness, and overall character. It’s clear they care deeply about the people they work with, and that shows in everything they do. We will absolutely be staying in touch, and I’m even considering putting together some YouTube content to help educate others using some of the strategies and insights Chris shared with us—because more people should know how to approach this process the right way. Thank you both again for everything you’ve done for us—we truly appreciate it. Preston & Dyna
