Homestead Funding Corp. Route, Clifton Park

My wife and I worked with Kristen Brooke on our recent home purchase and we truly could not have had a better experience! Kristen and the whole Homestead team were phenomenal. They were responsive when we needed it, proactive when it helped us, and explained things in detail throughout the entire process. I would strongly recommend anyone who is purchasing a home in the Capital District to give Kristen a call.

I had been looking to purchase a home in the Catskill region of New York and as we know it’s a stressful process. Especially these days. My agent had recommended using Kristen Brooke at Homestead Funding Corp. as my loan originator. I could not of been happier to be working with such a professional like Kristen. She put my mind at ease and was so nice to work with. Any questions I had even what seemed to be dumb ones lol Kristen answered them thoroughly and thoughtfully. I would recommend anyone looking to buy a home use her and Homestead Funding Corp. hands down. You will definitely not regret it.

If you are looking for a new home and find yourself struggling to score the "ideal" lender, look no further than Homestead Funding Corp! Through my many months of trying to work with other lenders, viewing an unbearable amount of houses, trying my best to determine my "dream home," I still continuously had questions about the mortgage process. Other lenders try to push you into places you would rather not live, some try to tell you you've found the perfect spot, every time you send in an offer. Homestead strives to do the opposite. I worked with Kristen Brooke at Homestead and she was an absolute pleasure. Her bubbly and bright personality made the daunting days ahead seem optimistic, exciting, and even enticing. I found several homes while working alongside her, and she always gave her all in how exceptional she believed a property to be. Although I threw many offers out, she always managed to breakdown the costs in a simple manner that I found understandable and concise. Her true kindness was exemplified when I found my new home. I lucked out in many ways, but when I sent her the property, she beamed and called me and immediately said, "This. This is you. You need to see this. I lived near here and I know this home. Once you see it, call me or message me, I want to know your feelings!" And she was right. It was adorable, cozy, big enough for me and my significant other. The yard was impeccable! I finally have closed on the property and I can't wait to start moving in and making the changes to call it "Our Home". I will say that Homestead does service your loan - meaning they sell it to another bank/mortgage company; however, they strive to keep you posted and will always be there to help with any and all questions that may arise even after closing. I am assured that working with Kristen, any and all questions I may have about the servicing will be answered hastily and fully. Servicing can sometimes work in your favor, but most of the time creates nothing but a change in where the payments go; Homestead will ALWAYS be a contact for you, that will never change. Homestead Funding knows what they are doing and their costs are unbeatable, but Kristen knows it all better. I adored working with her and I hope many more find her exciting personality in their journey looking for a new home.

Flo and Denise were an absolute pleasure to work with! They made our mortgage process extremely smooth and easy. We’re second time home owners and our experience with Homestead was night and day compared to the mortgage company we used when we purchased our first home. I couldn’t believe how quickly and efficiently Flo and Denise worked and they were great about keeping us updated as we completed every step. They really care about their clients and we felt like we were in great hands. We’re so grateful for how stress free they made our home purchase and highly recommend them!!

Kristen was great as a guide through the process. She answered all questions promptly and helped understand each step of the process. I highly recommend Kristen for your mortgage needs.

My experience with Homestead was excellent. Kristen and her team are very effective, efficient, hard working, diligent and knowledgeable. Our mortgage application process was so smooth and on scheduled because of Kristen's and her team's excellent effort. Highly recommend to anyone.

If you're shopping around for a home loan and want a professional, responsive and caring loan originator you don't have to look any further than Kristen Brooke at Homestead Funding. Kristen was extremely patient with my wife and I when we had questions and explained every step of the process step by step for us. She was always quick to get back to us with any questions we had and made the entire process a breeze. We could not be any happier with Kristen and the entire Homestead Funding team!

It was a pleasure working with Kristen Brooke, who helped me both with the original mortgage and a refinance 3 years later. She is extremely professional, transparent, and helpful in answering questions or generating quotes to compare different scenarios. Working with her, I have confidence that the result will have good value.
