Teresa went above and beyond to track rates and notified us immediately when rates dropped to initiate the refinance process. It being a time sensitive process, I especially value her taking the time to discuss decisions and general processes ahead of time so when the time came, it was much less stressful and easier to navigate.
Maria M.

Excellent services and Teresa was incredibly helpful since the very first time I called. The process was smooth and fast, Teresa was knowledgeable about the whole process which made me comfortable, secure and supportive. I was never lost even though this was my first time buying a home, everything was well explained and received daily or weekly reminders. I felt really supportive.

Outstanding Service and Communication Working with Teresa Parker and her team at UH Mortgage was an absolutely sublime experience from start to finish. I cannot recommend them highly enough with how they made it stress free. From the initial application to the closing table, they were incredibly quick and efficient, ensuring every step of my loan process was managed smoothly and without delay. I always felt informed, as the communication was proactive, consistent, and easy to understand. What truly set Teresa apart was her dedication to meeting my specific needs. From the initial phone call, to personalized offer letters I was impeessed. I was not a first time homebuyer but was in NC. They listened to my situation and provided personalized guidance, which made a complex process feel manageable and stress-free. If you are looking for a Loan Officer who is sharp, communicative, and truly advocates for your best interest, look no further! This team knows the market and valus the customer and their exeperience.

The best experience! I am a first time homeowner and I was hesitant about this whole experience but union home mortgage made it a great and smooth process..Teresa made sure my income debt ratio wouldn't have me struggling to make a mortgage payment each month,and it showed me that she cared!
