Working with Mike and his team made navigating the financial checklist of getting a loan very easy. He took my calls no matter the time of day or night and walked me through everything. Locked us in at better rate than market. We closed escrow in 16 days!

Have worked with Mike twice now and was very satisfied both times. He and his team made both buying and refinancing an easy process. Highly recommended and I won’t hesitate to work with him again.

Mike and his team are great at what they do. They kept me informed the entire time during a recent refinance. Having worked with them on multiple loans and refinances has allowed me to have a great relationship and understand the process. Definitely will be using him for any future loans

Mike and Claudia were amazing throughout my loan process. They stayed on top of everything and always kept me updated on what's going on and what steps were next. They were always reachable and super attentive. I travel a lot and Claudia was great at working around my schedule. She emails me on everything. When it is time sensitive and important, she calls and texts me because I don't always check my personal emails when I travel for work. I knew I was in great hands because I've done the loan process a couple of times and had a family friend to help us prior. It is usually always super stressful not knowing what's going on or having to constantly chase someone to get updates/answers. This is NOT the case when working with Mike and Claudia. I was so impressed with how easy the transaction went that I will definitely be referring all my friends and family! Thank you again, Mike and Claudia. You are the BEST!!!!

Mike and his staff were great to work with.
They kept us informed throughout the transaction and closed the deal in record fashion.
Mike is very knowledgeable and knows mortgages frontwards and backwards.
Claudia would keep us informed at every step and made the transaction very easy and simple to understand.
Thank you to both for your professionalism and hard work to get this deal completed.

Mike is The only agent I would consider when it comes to refinancing. He works tirelessly and he is a straight shooter. I worked with him a number of different times, and he always works to get the best for me.

Over the course of our home ownership, we've done ten mortgages or re-fi's. Our experience with Mike has been the absolute best of all those. He was thorough, diligent, and worked extremely hard on our behalf to get us the best possible financing in a very complex situation. Mike and his staff (Claudia) are superb at communication. They always kept us well informed of what was happening and, more importantly, why it was happening. We cannot recommend Mike highly enough.

Mike and his team are great! He helped us afford our new home and worked to make sure we were informed along the way. This is the second time we have used Mike for purchasing a property and it was even better since we already had the connection from the first purchase.

I would highly recommend Mike and his team. He was there along the way for every step of our first time home buying journey. When we finally found the perfect home and our offer was accepted, Mike and Lindsay from his office were able to move at lightning speed to get our loan funded and escrow closed in 14 days!

Mike and his team helped us manage mortgage finances during our move. They helped us through challenging financial aspects and provided great advice on how to manage our finances after the move as well. They were very quick, responsive, and knowledgeable. They always kept us informed of progress. We have purchased 5 homes over the years and this team is the best we have worked with. We highly recommend Mike, and his team, and they are now the only ones we would work with.
