My overall experience of the home buying process was straightforward and easy. Going into this knowing nothing, I did not know what to expect, but Jason and my realtor guided me and explained things throughout the process. Jason was always responsive and really easy to communicate with, so I was always learning and aware of what is happening in real-time and what to expect next. I was preapproved in early August and found a house I liked in late August. My offer was accepted, and from there Jason was on point with getting things done. I was able to close at the end of September and can now say I am a homeowner! I have read/heard about negative experiences and how stressful buying a home can be, so I am genuinely grateful for how smooth my home buying experience with AAA Capital was. Thank you again Jason and team.
