I had told Mae early on in the home search that I did not want to live in an HOA. Well I put down an offer on a house that I really liked that wasn't disclosed that it was in an HOA and luckily Mae caught it and informed me after being very close to an agreement and , which ended up bean a deal breaker. So I really appreciated the transparency and honesty. Also Mae was very responsive and communitve, replying to my questions even at 9 or 10 pm. Overall I'm very happy with how the home buying process went.”
