We had the absolute pleasure of working with Celeste Ruiz at Compass Mortgage, and we truly could not have asked for a better loan officer throughout our home journey.We actually met Celeste by chance at an open house alongside Jasmine Nguyen from Park Place Real Estate, and together they became the dream team that helped us sell our home and buy our forever home.From the very beginning, Celeste went above and beyond. On the selling side, she carefully walked us through different financial scenarios and helped us understand exactly what we could net from our home sale, giving us the confidence to move forward.On the buying side, Celeste was incredible. We had originally been pre-approved through another lender, but thanks to her knowledge and attention to detail, she caught hidden fees that would have cost us significantly more money. She ultimately saved us thousands that we were able to put toward our new home instead.Throughout our search, Celeste was responsive, patient, creative, and always one step ahead. Every time we submitted an offer, she thoughtfully ran multiple scenarios and collaborated closely with us and our realtor to make the numbers work. She also worked tirelessly to shop rates for us and secured an interest rate similar to what we already had — without requiring a buy down — which felt almost impossible in this market.Beyond her expertise, what truly stood out was how much she genuinely cared. She made what could have been an overwhelming and stressful process feel smooth, reassuring, and manageable. We always felt supported, informed, and prioritized every step of the way. Even after our offer was accepted, Celeste made the closing process incredibly seamless. Everything was handled efficiently and ahead of schedule, and we were actually ready to close weeks earlier than expected because of how organized and proactive she was.If you’re looking for a loan officer who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, hardworking, and truly invested in her clients, we cannot recommend Celeste and the team at Compass Mortgage enough. We’re beyond grateful for everything she did for our family and would absolutely work with her again in the future.By the end of the process, Celeste felt like so much more than just our loan officer — she became someone our family genuinely connected with and now considers a forever friend.
