Kelly was amazing! Very detail oriented and makes sure everything is set and perfect. We were first time home buyers and she made the process simple and was very helpful. Not to mention that we were on the other side of the world during the home buying process! She always answered emails or texts, no matter the time zone differences.
I recommend anyone working with Kelly Barnes! She was very responsive to every question and every problem that could have impacted the progress of our property purchase. She knows what she is doing and will give you the right recommendations based on your individual mortgage needs. We would happily recommend anyone else to use Southern Trust Mortgage and partner with Kelly!
Kelly was excellent to work with! She was willing to go the extra mile to help me quickly and successfully secure a loan. Knowing I was a first time home buyer, Kelly really put 100% effort into making sure everything went as smooth as possible. She is very dedicated to her role in helping her clients, extremely responsive, and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to take out a loan.
