Blake provided professional, proactive and helpful advice throughout the mortgage application and home purchasing process. As a first home buyer, he provided invaluable insights and knowledge into the processes involved, empowering me to put my best foot forward and make informed decisions along the way. I really appreciated Blakes approachable and supportive communication, and the user friendly application process that Squirrel provides made applying to and comparing multiple banks easy and straightforward.
