“Great job, Homebridge!”
Monica B. Jun-20
“I had used Cari Mendez on a prior home purchase loan around 5 years ago and when the rates started moving this year I was so happy with her past performance it was a no brainer to reach out to Cari again. I had seen crazy low interest rates being advertised but I also know many of these companies require you to buy your loan down etc or have extra ordinary costs involved, pretty much I just trust Cari as a person and feel she would be offering me an good deal that I could trust wouldn't be padded in other areas. She is reliably consistent and honest and I only feel comfortable dealing with someone I trust on something as large as a home mortgage.”
LAURA A. May-20
“Cari Mendez was excellent in explaining the refinancing process in detail, providing timely updates, and being extremely responsive.

I would definitely use Cari and Homebridge again--and recommend to friends and family.”
