Kendra was amazing! She’s so passionate and knowledgeable about her work. Her communication skills are excellent. She not only answered all of my questions but helped me to understand exactly what she was doing for me along the way. She made my home buying process very smooth. I highly recommend Kendra, as she will not disappoint!

This was my first time using Cardinal Financial and having Kendra as my loan agent for purchasing an investment property. Kendra was professional and always prompt on responding. She was patient with me during the time when we were still building the trust— she always provided the information that I asked for right away, she kept me on top of things, and she initiated actions to unblock anything that was in the way. Here’s an example of why I appreciate having Kendra on my team: the closing day was postponed and Kendra was on top of it right away, working with her team to help me get the closing day extended before I even asked for. She was managing the whole process (from pre-qualifying to closing) as a top A-player. I am glad she’s found me and played an important part of the property purchase. A few other notes on why this was a positive experience:1. The number breakdowns and documents were well organized when presented to me. It was easy to consume.2. The numbers were meeting my needs right from the beginning without the back-and-forth.3. I was able to see the updates on any line item in real time in their document portal, which they highlighted in bold.4. If the main contacts couldn’t respond right away, then the whole team jumps on. I was confused about a matter at one point, then I received calls immediately from two members who answered my questions.

Kendra helped us with purchasing our 2nd home, and exceeded our expectations in helping us to close in less than 30 days!!! We can't say enough about how helpful and knowledgeable Kendra is; she truly is a joy to work with! Kendra worked hard for us with integrity and ethically. My husband had never been through the house buying process before, and every question he/we asked she took the time to explain and responded quickly to any concerns we had. Also, Cardinal's online portal is very user-friendly.

My fiancé and I had a very positive experience as first time home buyers. Kendra presented multiple options for us and blew us away when it came to service. She was extremely responsive and knowledgeable and we couldn't ask for more from her. In addition we were able to close in less than 30 days and Kendra was always there when we had questions come up. As first time home buyers the entire process was flawless and was a pleasure working with Kendra. I can't recommend her enough!

Not often do you find a loan originator that is truly a friend through the entire loan process. Kendra is exactly that, a very talented professional loan originator that also cares about the human dynamics behind the scenes.I have a family situation which demands most of my time making it almost impossible to even consider closing on a new home.At my request, Kendra oversaw our loan personally for the entire loan process.She made herself available to my questions and helped us make the right decision for our family.I am grateful to Kendra and her team for serving our family’s needs effortlessly.

I worked with Kendra Lamanna primarily. From the very first phone call, to the day after closing she was incredibly attentive, responsive, informative, and professional. She emailed, called, texted, whatever was necessary to provide detailed information and made sure I stayed informed along the way. I was, and remain, thoroughly impressed with her level of support and commitment to making this happen. We hit a few snags along the way. She instructed me through them and followed up daily to make sure everything was on track. Excellent service!

I found Cardinal Financial online, which is generally not my style... within minutes of filling out my application, my phone was ringing and it was Kendra. The communication between the two of us was better than I could have wished for. Kendra was available via phone, text and email whenever I had a question. She was professional, curtious, and went out of her way to help me. Previously, I’ve made sacrifices in service for a lower rate, BUT with Kendra and Cardinal Financial, I received an extremely competitive rate and the quality service you’d expect from a mortgage professional. As a realtor in NY, Kendra is now my preferred lender! Look no further for yours!

I originally found Cardinal Financial through the Zillow Mortgage-Rate search feature. Shortly after filling out my info I was contacted by Kendra Lamanna, as well as several other LOs from several other companies. From our very first interaction all the way through closing day, Kendra was nothing but polite and helpful. She encourage me to shop around if I needed to in order to feel comfortable on the 'deal' (rates & costs) that Cardinal was presenting. Our sellers were in a rush and asked us for a 28 day close ... GASP. I thought, "NO WAY". Kendra said "not a problem ... Cardinal's average time to close is 3 weeks". After making the decision to procure my mortgage through Cardinal, Kendra made sure I was informed every step of the way. I told her I was a natural worrier, especially with this being my first mortgage, so she even called to give me a heads up to expect a couple things coming down the pipe line and their was nothing to be alarmed about. She made the daunting process feel personal, which was a nice reassurance for my wife and I. One of my favorite things about this whole process was Cardinal's online 'document portal'. It was amazing and so seamless. Separate line items for each document needed, and you're able to just drag and drop the files. The Cardinal team is then able to review and process, and even send items back to you with notes if more detail or info is needed. This kept the entire process extremely organized, and I raved about it to some other friends going through the same thing. After all was said and done, we had the clear to close 7 days before our scheduled closing date ... Yes folks, Kendra held up to her 3 week average! Would highly recommend Kendra and Cardinal.One side note I would recommend to anyone working with Cardinal: there were a couple of times where I noticed some fees or charges change from one disclosure to the next, for no explainable reason. Kendra said sometimes the system is a little 'wonky', so we weren't sure why it was done. This is no reflection of Kendra whatsoever, she corrected those items immediately and without issue. Just make sure you're closely monitoring the disclosures from one to the next for changes.
