Real Stories from Real Owners

If you’re looking for someone to guide you through the mortgage maze, let me tell you about my experience with Katy Igarta at Novus Home Mortgage. From the moment I started my journey—moving from sunny Southern California to the bright lights of Las Vegas—Katy was right there, rounding out the dream team with my real estate agent, Darshana Abeita. Katy stuck with me through every twist and turn of my (very long!) two-year process, always ready to answer my endless questions. Not once did I feel pushed or rushed—she made it clear I was more than just another client or commission. We became a little trio, tackling challenges as a team. What blew me away most? Katy helped me transform my less-than-stellar credit score into a badge of honor: 800+ in just twelve months! She’s incredibly smart and detail-oriented, and even though it’s not technically her job, I can’t help but ask her for financial advice—and she always has something insightful to share. I’m a tough customer who expects the best out of everyone, but Katy never let up. She worked tirelessly, stayed on top of every fee, rate, and market shift, and never missed a beat. After thirty years surrounded by real estate pros (I know numbers, trust me), I can honestly say Katy is the most outstanding loan officer I’ve met. I don’t give recommendations lightly, but this one is a no-brainer. I’ll absolutely keep working with Katy for all my future personal and business projects. She’s earned my trust as my go-to financial expert and lender. David Wieseler, MBA CEO of TSR LLC, a Nevada Holding Company

I had the pleasure of working with Katy and her team on my mortgage, and I couldn’t recommend them enough! From start to finish, Katy was attentive, responsive, and truly cared about making the process smooth and stress-free. Every question I had was answered quickly, and I always felt like I was a top priority. Even their Branch manager Nate Atkers, here in Las Vegas and Oregon stepped in plenty of times to keep things in line. Her team is thorough, reliable, and works across many states, which makes them a great choice no matter where you’re located. The only minor challenge was that the processing team works out of a different state, so time zones occasionally caused slight delays—but even then, they were diligent and worked hard to keep everything on track. If you’re looking for a mortgage lender who combines professionalism, responsiveness, and a trustworthy team, Katy is the one to call. I highly encourage anyone considering a mortgage to work with her—you’ll be in great hands!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As first-time homebuyers, we had a million questions—and Katy was there every step of the way with answers, support, and expertise that made this process feel smooth and stress-free. We were originally working with another lender, but something didn’t sit right. We reached out to Katy just to get a second opinion, and we’re so glad we did! She offered to review our loan and immediately pointed out how the deal we were about to accept wasn’t in our best interest. Katy worked her magic and ended up saving us over $500 a month on our mortgage! That’s not just helpful—that’s life-changing. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and ability to explain everything in a way we understood made us feel confident and empowered. If you’re buying a home—especially for the first time—Katy is the person you want in your corner. Thank you, Katy, for going above and beyond!
