I appreciated most that the mortgage was approved ! Seriously, Midwest Family Lending was a blessing right from the start. I am so happy and lucky that I was referred to MFL. Sara kept me informed and was a pleasure to work with from day one when I was still living in NY. She walked me through everything and was ALWAYS available.
