Spread the Love this Valentine's Day: The Power of Five-Star Reviews
Valentine’s Day is all about love, and what better way to share the love than by supporting your favorite local businesses? As you celebrate the season of affection, consider the impact of leaving a five-star review for a shop, restaurant, or service you adore.
Positive reviews do wonders for local businesses: They help build trust and credibility, making it easier for others to find great services, shopping, or restaurants. In a world where many turn to online recommendations, your kind words can be the deciding factor for someone looking for the perfect mortgage partner or a cozy dinner spot. If you’ve had a fantastic experience with a business—whether it was a personalized service, expert guidance, or just a friendly chat—take a moment to share that joy. A simple request for a review can go a long way. Many businesses appreciate your feedback, and often they’ll kindly ask for it after serving you.

Here is one of our favorite recent reviews from Jules, a homeowner as of October 2024:
"As a first-time homebuyer navigating the complexities of the mortgage process on my own, I couldn't have asked for a better team than Lindsay and everyone at Applied One Mortgage. From the very beginning, they were incredibly supportive, guiding me through each step with patience and care. They always made sure to answer my endless questions, no matter how small, and were extremely responsive, often getting back to me faster than I expected."
"What truly stood out to me was how much they genuinely seemed to have my best interests at heart. I never felt like just another client—they really looked out for me and made the entire process so much smoother and less stressful. I would absolutely recommend Lindsay and her team to anyone, whether you're a first-time buyer like me or more experienced. Their dedication and support made all the difference!"
