Josh and his team are timely, professional, and make you cared for at all times during the lending process. They continually reach out to assure things are going smooth and are always available to answer questions and get the process done as fast as possible.

We had closings on two houses, one contingent on the sale of the other. The team took a 6 week process and turned it around in three and a half weeks! The team went above and beyond expectations and landing both closings on the same day, unreal! If your looking for a professional team to work for you and make things happen (and fast) they are the people for the job. A huge thanks to Todd and the rest of his team for making this possible for both families.

I have only dreamed of providing a home for my wife and daughter. Nick believed in me when I wasn't quite prepared with my finances. At the time I was working 7 days a week 80+ hours to get the down payment money. Others said I was crazy, Nick was the support I needed. His professionalism and optimism, threw gas on the fire! He got me across the finish line with a great loan, and low closing costs. Now I get to sit back in my own home ALL SPRING AND SUMMER with my family! Nick is a Rock Star! I do not believe I could have done it without his guidance and patience. To boot he is an extremely friendly guy and a pleasure to work with. His entire team is phenomenal! Thank you Nick from the bottom of my heart!!
