Excellent Job!

Teacher Next Door Realtor: Maureen Frederick
Teacher Next Door Loan Officer: Scott McRae

"Scott did an excellent job walking through each phase of the home-buying process. He gets to know you and your needs which helped put us at ease throughout the beginning phase of home buying. As a first-time buyer, there were lots of questions on our end and Scott did a great job answering everything in a way that made you feel like you were making the best decision. He was easily reachable by text, phone, and email and would even take late calls when things changed or came up. After we closed on our home, Scott congratulated us and had us look forward to some mail. It turned out to be a beautiful cutting board outlined as our state with our home coordinates, most definitely a result of all the cooking plans we've talked about throughout our phone calls.”

Here is what they had to say about their experience with the Officer Next Door Program.

They ROCK!

Officer Next Door Realtor: Cheri Aumond McClean
Officer Next Door Loan Office: Bryan Friedman

"Bryan was knowledgeable and helpful. Cheri and Lisa were amazing, always checking in on us to inform us where and how things were going. Both were always available to answer our questions. They rock!

The Officer Next Door Program is outstanding! They walked me through and explained the process. Cheri was the best. She had great knowledge of the area and the home buying process. She was willing to adjust her schedule to accommodate my schedule and gave great feedback and her honest opinion when asked. The Officer Next Door Program and Cheri are very reliable. If you’re looking for a forever home this is the program to call.”

Thanks,
