I cannot overstate what an exceptional borrowing experience we had with Laura Barron at Salem Five. Throughout our recent home-buying experience, Laura provided prompt and personable service, spent substantial time... read more researching, reviewing, and securing the best financing option for us, and made it clear from the start that she was eager for our business. When we encountered a few slowdowns with the loan approval process, Laura got involved, gathered the needed info, and ushered our application through. We navigated the entire loan process from application to closing in one month, in large part because of Laura’s clear communication, responsiveness, and commitment. She remained connected with us from day one to closing. I got no fewer than 90 texts from Laura, could reach her by phone at a moment’s notice, and (because of the delicate timing of our offer) even had a call with her on the holiday weekend to review loan options. Laura even attended our closing to ensure everything went smoothly. If you’re in the market for a home loan, give Laura your business. You won’t regret it.

I was introduced to Laura, a family friend's connection, in May 2023. They had assured me that if anyone could help me secure a mortgage, it would be her -... read more and they were right. When my husband and I first spoke to Laura, we both had very low 500 credit scores. Laura was upfront in telling us that with our limited savings, we could only afford a $200k house. However, she also provided a clear plan of action, outlining the steps we needed to take to improve our financial standing and get approved for a realistic mortgage. Over the next year, from May 2023 to April 2024, Laura and I stayed in close contact. She regularly ran the numbers, exploring every possible avenue to help us achieve our dream of homeownership. It was a challenging and emotional process, but in April 2024, Laura delivered the good news - we had been pre-approved for a solid mortgage amount. Shortly after, Laura introduced us to Sharife Choate, a realtor she had worked with before who she thought would be exactly what we’d need in a realtor; and she was right, he was everything we needed. Throughout the house-hunting process, Laura remained in close communication, keeping me informed and offering support whenever needed - even replying to 6AM texts and emails within minutes. Laura's involvement didn't end at the closing table. In June 2024, she surprised us by attending the closing, providing a sense of relief and reassurance during the overwhelming paperwork. After the closing, she gifted us a personalized cutting board and has continued to check in on us. Laura is not your typical loan officer. She genuinely cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to help them achieve their homeownership goals. Over the course of a year, she guided us from low credit scores to a successful closing with a 3.5% down payment. If you have the opportunity to work with Laura, I highly recommend it.
