This was our first time working with Mike on a refi and the process couldn't have been any smoother. Mike and his team (Lindsay) were the consummate professionals and kept us abreast of all steps all the time. To be honest, the entire process was the best refi experience we've been involved with and there have been a few. I would recommend Mike hands down just as he was recommended to me. Professional, courteous, caring and timely. All ingredients for a successful outcome and happy customers.

Mike has worked many home loans for me over the years some harder than others. At all times Mike and his staff have been right there for me, keeping me updated on the progress. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and on top of the market at all times; he'll ensure the right loan for his client. Another thing I appreciate he is easy to contact, he doesn't get caught up on email, instead he'll get back to you by phone right away.

I highly recommend Mike Pfefferman and his staff.

My wife Lisa and I have been clients of Mike Pfefferman for almost 20 years and we have had the best experience with Mike and his team. From the moment he sat down with us in October of 2000, he not only worked with us but he worked for us trying to get us into the best and safest mortgage for our needs. Not once did we ever feel that he was guiding us down a wrong path.

I have friends of mine who didn't take my advice and go with Mike only to have huge regrets because they chose someone that said the famous last words, "Don't worry, I can get you the lowest rate." To find out that not only could their "guy" NOT get a low rate but the hoops that they had to go through just to get approved was a nightmare. The ones that listened to me and called Mike first, thank me to this day saying, "that was the easiest purchase I have ever made." How many people can say that about buying a home? If you are a client of Mike's, you will!

When you hire Mike, he will sit down with you and ask you your goals. It's not just about getting the lowest rate, it's about getting the best loan for you and your family. Mike has more experience in the mortgage business guiding individuals into the best correct loan than anyone I know.

I decided to refinance at the start of the COVID-19 out break. Mike and Claudia were amazing and kept me informed throughout the process. I would definitely ask Mike to do another loan for me.

I would totally recommend Mike to anyone wanting to refinance their home. This was my second time refinancing my home with Mike. He fights real hard to get the best possible rates. The process was really simple, most of it is done online.

I just finished my 2nd transaction with Mike & his crew at First Rate Financial Group and couldn’t be more pleased. I did an initial loan with Mike about 3 years ago and just completed a refi with them last month. Mike told me at the conclusion of the initial mortgage that we could refi with zero cost to us at anytime. About a year later and with no prompting from me, Mike called and said that he thought we might want to consider a refi as we could save some money. My wife & I decided that it probably wasn’t worth it at the time. Lo and behold, about 3 months ago, he called again to see if we were interested in a refi as interest rates had come down significantly from our initial loan. Again at zero closing costs to us. This time we decided that it was worth our time to gather our paperwork and save a nice sum of money every month. Mike and his team, especially Lindsay Cramer are the consummate professionals and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to give them an enthusiastic recommendation!

This was my 1st time buying a house, I never knew how much was involved. The number of documents, the approvals needed..... etc. My brother referred Mike for this process. I was overwhelmed with the entire process. Mike and his staff make this easy, they were always available and answered my questions right away. I highly recommend Mike as he looks out for your best interest and does whatever he can to make it happen at the lowest cost to you.
