Misty is fun, caring and patient! Working with Misty Crockett was a lifesaver in getting our home in LA from beginning to end. Misty went above and beyond while she lives in Arizona to make sure that we understood what we were getting into answered our questions every time of the day and sent us reminders even when we didn’t remember. She also worked seamlessly with our realtor and our escrow officer to make the complicated process feel much smoother. She was able to get us the lowest interest rate among all the lenders we consulted with, and we couldn’t have been happier. Detailed figures and estimates to understand home prices that fit our budget were very helpful. We recommend Mortgages by Misty to anybody who is getting to score a low interest rate for their home purchasing whether they are a first time home or not.

Misty is amazing! She was able to help us refinance (twice) in order to get lower interest rates; we have now paid off our house! Both times working with Misty she let us know all our options, what worked best for our goals and was so helpful. She is friendly and easy to work with, offers prompt service and very professional.

Misty Crockett is the ultimate professional! I purchased my home in 2020 and Misty was there to help me every step of the way. Her knowledge and years of experience about closing loans were invaluable. So invaluable, I recently used Misty services again to help refinance my home in order to complete my personal goals. She truly made the financial aspect of purchasing, and in my case, refinancing a comfortable and goal satisfying experience. Misty Crockett will be a lifetime professional resource for me and my family! She is attentive, punctual and listens to your goals.

I was so impressed with Misty from day one. This purchase transaction was very sentimental for my family and she hand held this application from start to finish. 24 calendar days to be exact! I am in the mortgage industry and have purchased a home before but never have I experienced this type of service or seen things done so quickly and efficient! She is knowledgeable and knows her mortgage stuff so well. She was always available via text, email or phone even when she was traveling or at an appointment. She always made it a point to respond quickly even if she didn’t have an answer yet or resolution. She was truthful along the entire way and ensured my best interest was at the highest priority. I wish I could tell the world to use Misty on every transaction (wait….I am)! USE MISTY ON EVERY MORTGAGE PURCHASE AND REFI! You will not be left disappointed.

There are some who are capable but more interested in making money. She is capable and interested in helping your best interest. Misty has a wealth of knowledge in the finance field. She is professional and yet personable. More importantly she is honest about figures and options. She will help interpret numbers so you can make the best decision for yourself and/or family considering plans for today and in the future. Although, you will have to do your part, she will walk you through the process, and inform you of the next steps. When I met Misty, I was in the worse mortgage plan for myself. In my situation, if I had sold my home, I would have had to pay someone at the same time. Misty recommended I refinance my home to first get out of the situation. Therefore, regardless of if I sold my home or kept it, I would start building equity. My mortgage payment was due to increase tremendously, and with the refinance, it changed allowing the payment to be affordable. I have had many offers to address my finances and home needs, it is easy to say no knowing that I have Misty in my corner looking out for me.

If you found Misty Garrison consider yourself very lucky! We are self-employed and had a difficult time getting financed and Misty got the job done in 30 days. I have bought eight houses in my life and I've never had a mortgage broker that works so hard to get the job done. She even answered my phone call the day after she got married, that's how dedicated she is to her business! The thing I love about her the most is that she's completely honest. You might not always like what she has to say, but she does get the job done and if you do exactly what she tells you to do you will end up with a house. We did a bank statement loan and they're typically a higher interest rate, but our rate was only one point higher than the national average. I'm extremely happy with Misty Garrison's performance and I would never buy a house with anybody but Misty Garrison from here on in. Thank you so much Misty for getting us our house we really appreciate you!

I really appreciate you and your team. Keep up the great work! I hope to work with you again soon. Thanks!!!

After working with other companies/programs and nothing working out, we were getting desperate. We reached out to Misty, who we had heard such great things about.She worked her hardest to give us the best rate and deal she could and at the end of the day, she did just that.Within a week, we had a found a home!It was so exciting.We didn’t think we’d ever become homeowners but Misty made it happen and we’re so grateful!I make sure to always have her business cards on hand and we recommend her to any and everyone that’s in the market.Our family is looking forward to working with Misty again when we refinance!

My name is Aisha, owner of NCB, LLC. From the moment I decide I wanted to become a homeowner Misty was there for me every step of the way. I was referred to her by my Realtor while also given the option to look elsewhere. I’m so glad I stuck with Misty. This was no rush job, she guided me through everything from what I needed to do to get my credit in order, to guiding me to keeping my credit in order. This was an 18 month + project for me, but Misty assured me patience would pay off and it certainly did. She got me an awesome Rate, 0$ additional closing cost ( DP Only) and ANY question or concern I had ( and I ask lots of questions) she addressed them, even if they were repetitive! Do not purchase any real estate without her, I sure won’t!

My husband and I were initially apprehensive about refinancing our home because we did not know if we were going to see savings and the market was all over the place. After discussing our options with Misty, she explained the process and reassured us that she would get the best rate possible for us. This woman DELIVERED!! Not only did we significantly reduce our interest rate, our payment went down, we did not have to come out of pocket, AND we got money back when the loan funded. I will recommend Misty hands down without question every time. Thank you Misty, you're a beast!!
