“I cannot say enough positive things about working with Emily & Hannah. I have now re-financed my home 3 times with them, and each time they’ve made it such an easy, smooth process. Emily always manages to find elegant solutions to any issue or complication, she really is a magic maker! And will patiently explain every part of the process. Communication is always quick and so helpful. Not to mention they are both just lovely humans 
Thank you both for all your help always!!”

“My husband and I used Heritage Financial for a re-fi last year and a new home purchase out of the area last month. I was beyond thrilled to work with them as they were prompt to return calls, answer questions, and answer them clearly. They got us great rates and their communication was superb! They took the time to get to know me and my needs. I will 100% use them in the future.”

“Emily is an amazing professional- extremely knowledgeable, great communication skills and truly cares about her clients. She offered a variety of loan options from the start and was able to think out of the box. She was a true advocate during the escrow process, often mitigating my stress levels. I can’t say enough good things about her.”

“Emily and Hanna of Heritage Financial are simply the best! Our home loan origination was very difficult, and they were stellar. Emily was patient, tenacious, and calming during a stressful and complicated process. If you are looking for personal service and a home-town community Mortgage Broker, look no further. When it comes to having the right professionals in your corner, it does not get any better than Heritage Financial!”
