What clients say about Mike
"We had the pleasure of working with Mike Shanks when looking at mortgage options for our home. He was very reliable, responsive, and patient when answering our many questions. He would always check in or follow up with us to make sure that everything was okay, which we really appreciated, especially being first time homebuyers."
"Mike, Colton, and Tim at Lacroix Mortgage Group helped us secure a fantastic rate for a mortgage on our investment property, including really going to bat for us when a lender was dragging on the approval process. They kept their foot down to ensure the approval process kept moving in a timely manner, and ensured our mortgage funds were ready in time to close on our property purchase. 2 mortgages now with Lacroix Mortgage Group, and planning to renew each of them with this same team!"
"I can't recommend Tim LaCroix and his mortgage team enough!! Everyone we worked with made this process easier than I could have expected! They were kind and answered all of our questions without judgement. As first time home buyers we were very overwhelmed by the whole process. They made the whole process completely painless! Thank you so much Mike, Tim and Colton!"
