Laurie Lampert

I was really weary of using her as my mortgage broker and really had concerns about whether she really cared about my loan but I went with her because my realtor told me she was great and would be able to work with me (and make sure we closed in 30 days and before Thanksgiving). Boy did I have egg on my face when I was proven wrong! She was absolutely great. We were trying to put an offer on a house (multiple bid) and on a Saturday and I didn’t have a lender (due to my long house process) and she was able to get a pre-​qual letter on the weekend and within less than 3 hours. In addition, she did her best to get me the house by talking me up when she spoke to the seller’s realtor. While that house didn’t worked out, she was so great that I stayed with her until I found a house.
Best part is that even after I closed, I still get e-​mails from her and notes (on my b-​day) that make me feel great that I chose her. Great experience!

I’ve been wanting to write this review for a while but haven’t gotten around to doing so. Let’s see where can I start? Laurie and her team, especially Jeanne S, were beyond amazing. They made our first home loan/​purchase nothing like what people warned us about. They were phenomenal! Every email was replied to in a timely manner. Every call was answered, if not they’d return it immediately. The salesman from our homebuilder referred us to her and now I know why. She answered all of our questions and concerns, worked patiently with us, and best of all she got us an incredible deal! We are just very thankful to her and the great team at First American Mortgage.

I used Laurie for a re-​fi back in 2009. She handled everything quickly and I closed on a much-​lower rate within weeks with no hassles or stress. I would definitely use her services for my next home purchase — she takes the worry out of the whole process — no surprises.

I was referred to Laurie from JoAnne (my agent from Violet Crown Realty) and boy, was I glad she reffered me to Laurie.
Being the Unilocaler that I was, once she referred me to Laurie, I went to check to see whether Laurie has a Unilocal page. Although not many reviews here, don’t let that discourage you!
Laurie is awesome, very knowledgeable, and goes to great lengths to make you succeed. Talk to her once and you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Now, I wanted to buy a property but my situation was kind of funny since I didn’t have a credit score at all!
We had already decided to put in an offer and only had one month before the closing date. Since having a credit score is crucial for a loan, I was doubtful that we would even be able to close in time. However, Laurie, being the creative person that she is, offered us a great idea and was able to get me my credit score in time! Her idea worked and we were able to close a day earlier than scheduled! woo hoo
I am now able to write this review as finally a first-​time homeowner on my first-​ever loan. I usually hate having any kind of debt but funny enough, I am so glad that the loan process went well!
Thank you Laurie!

Laurie is the reason I’m typing this review from my house, and not from say… a tent in the park.
My wife and I both have jobs where a significant amount of our income is commission based. When we were purchasing our home, summer ’09, the bank credit markets were practically frozen. When banks were looking at our loan application, they would only look at the salary portion of our income which was not very indicative of our situation. Laurie took over our lending process and did miracles. She was able to work with the banks as well as help guide us through the process. Boring story short, she made it possible for us to purchase our first home.
