"Everything was good, but at times we felt like we were being an inconvenience with questions. Then we were not told the exact cash to close until the day before closing, which put us in a bind. We ended up finding out the cash to close by the Title Company. Overall, our experience was good, I just think the communication could be a little better for first time home buyers."
