Completely blown away by our experience. Valerie was responsive and so attentive to our needs. Valerie's guidance and amazing customer service helped us navigate one of the most difficult and challenging times trying to buy a house. We made multiple offers on several properties and Valerie was with us every step of the way. This process took months and Valerie never waivered and was there for us -- something we're so grateful for.

Valerie is amazing! What she did for us on our VA loan exceeded our expectations. There were a number of hurdles to get over, and despite that, she managed to get our loan closed within 3 weeks of our offer! Apparently that does not happen very often on a VA loan process. By doing so, she saved us a bundle of money in storage costs for our household goods by helping to get this loan accomplished in record time! Her strength is collaborating with other realtor and title partners is a real benefit to our clients. She is a true professional and her follow through on requests or issues is exceptional. She is quick to respond, no matter what day or time! Obviously, customer satisfaction is a high priority for her, and you absolutely cannot go wrong with her - she will have your back! Could not recommend her more highly.

Loan depot has very competitive rates as compared to other lenders. My friend suggested loan depot to me and I would do the same to my friends. Working with Valerie was great. She helped complete the Loan approval process in time so we were able to close on time.

Valerie Baldock was very helpful throughout the process of purchasing a home as a first time home buyer. She continually brought up different scenarios and different loan options to find the best option for me. The whole process was new to me and she walked me though every step of the way. She was very knowledgeable, approachable and available! Always answered my call/text/emails right away. Even in this hot Snohomish County market, she was able to make it happen and get us into a home! Thank you Valerie!!

K Dore from Mount Plymouth , FL via Zillow
In a word - AWESOME!! In the most competitive residential real estate market in recent years, the one thing I never worried about was my loan because I knew that Valerie had things firmly in control. She was always available (even nights and weekends), no question was too small, and she did what she said she would do (great follow-through). Although I did not need a fast closing, Valerie and her team had everything completed well-ahead of time. Valerie provided sterling service and the overall experience was outstanding! Thanks Valerie!!

Valerie has been my mortgage loan consultant since 2008. I have basically followed her from bank to bank throughout her career. She is smart, honest, and hardworking. She's the first person that comes to mind anytime a family member or friend considers getting a mortgage loan or refinancing. She's awesome!

Valerie is a great loan consultant. This was our first time buying a home and getting a mortgage - you can imagine how stressful this could be! However, Valerie did an excellent job guiding us through the loan application and helping us select the right terms.
