“Bridgette was awesome to work with. She was very helpful along the way, and got us exactly what we were looking for. We had an existing FHA mortgage on our home, but we had did a significant addition on the home through a equity line of credit the another bank. We also had to use other credit and savings reserves..We ended up with an awesome home, but we were now juggling 2 major loans, credit debt, and just writing a lot of checks. When we originally did the remodel we had planned on re financing, but ended up finding out that it wasn't that easy. At least 3 other banks turned us down, because we now had high credit usage. One day we got a card and flyer from home street bank with bridgettes info... I said , " hey gunny, we have a new gal at home street, and she looks really nice..". Needless to say she was all of that and more. She ended up getting a new FHA mortgage, "which by the way very thankfull for!! In the long run we were able to pay off our first mortgage, our equity line of credit, a major credit card, our car, and still cashed out on our homes equity!! It was all pretty easy, and we our now debt free and only write 1 check ever month. Not only was bridgette a nice person, and a true professional, but we would also consider her a friend now. We got to know her along they, and let's just that we have nothing but good to say about her!! Don't waist your time at your current bank or credit union, just call Bridgette M at home street bank Salem!! If you situation isn't picture perfect as most of ours isn't I would ask her about an FHA loan, it made everything possible for us. Thanks again Bridgette, the O'connell's ”
