Testimonials from Christie's clients . . .

"I'd like to thank Christie Richardson personally for all your help in guiding me through the mortgage application process. It was a busy time, and although I didn't always have a solid grasp on everything that was involved in buying a home, you were always there to make sure I was on track. It helped alot to have that support, as I didn't feel like I was going about it alone. Not only was your work good, but you always had a smile on :)
Thanks again!"

Bernake before the Committee on the Budget, Feb 2, 2012

Over the past two and a half years, the U.S. economy has been gradually recovering from the recent deep recession. While conditions have certainly improved over this period, the pace of the recovery has been frustratingly slow, particularly from the perspective of the millions of workers who remain unemployed or underemployed. Moreover, the sluggish expansion has left the economy vulnerable to shocks. Indeed, last year, supply chain disruptions stemming from the earthquake in Japan, a surge in the prices of oil and other commodities, and spillovers from the European debt crisis risked derailing the recovery.
