“Laura Heard was instrumental in helping my clients win in a competitive market. She was responsive, proactive, and even made herself available on a Saturday to ensure we had everything needed to submit a strong offer. Her efficiency and communication helped us secure the contract and close on time. Highly recommend!”

“I Wanted to take the time to leave this review as my experience working with Highland Mortgage has surpassed my expectation after trying to work with two previous ones who were almost no help at all to help me and my wife with our first home buying experience specifically the professionalism, attention to detail and patience that came from Laura Heard we were at a deadened when two previous loan officers told us we couldn’t get the condo we wanted Laura walked us through a process that wasn’t even mentioned before got us approved and explained to us how it all worked, we felt really taken care of and we got a really great starter home and quick responses great attitudes and very polite thank you Laura for the great experience we will definitely seek this company again in the future when we are ready to move into a bigger space when my kids get a bit older thank you so much.”

“Laura Heard at Highland Mortgage was a wonderful resource for us when we began our house buying experience in earnest. She was very patient with us as we explored various loan products at various price points by running the numbers for us, and she helped us identify the right one for us! She streamlined the loan process for us, and delivered on every detail promised. Very grateful for her counsel and expertise!”

“Laura Heard is a consummate professional in every way and even better than that she has a perfect demeanor to walk a prospective buyer through a process that is not always easy. She knows what she is doing and can explain things in a way that was easy to understand. I’ve bought a few homes in my life and working with Laura has been the BEST experience I’ve ever had.”

“This was my first time buying a home alone. Laura Heard patiently took me through every step of the way with timely and thorough updates.

“Working with Highland Mortgage, and Laura Heard specifically, was an unbelievably appreciated experience. That is probably an understatement.. Laura is incredible and shares lots of experience. She, along with Mark (Founder), shared walkthrough videos of all options. They even shared suggestions. The closing was seamless and Laura even attended. I recommend her to all of my friends and colleagues in their endeavors.”
