We closed on the house in less than 28 days and this was the first time we ever applied for a loan( FHA). Working with Andrew was literally a breeze. He was very responsive and connected us with anyone we may need during the entire loan process. He was honest, thoughtful, and helpful each step of the way and made the entire process so smooth. Can’t recommend him enough!

Trying to buy a house in a red-hot market is a challenge; having Andrew on the finance side made everything so much easier. We made offers on several properties and every time Andrew was able to provide an approval letter immediately. When we finally had an offer accepted, he made the process clear and simple, and most importantly FAST. We would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone looking for financing.

From the first contact “let me pull over I am driving and I will have a quote for you”: which only took about 25 mins max to today, the day of closing it has been little more than 31/2 weeks and it is all because of Andrew’s undivided attention, availability and determination. A pleasure to work with highly recommended!

It was a pleasure working with Andrew in both shopping for a mortgage and then completing the mortgage application and closing process. He was professional and very easy to work with…open to talk at any time and answer any questions…right up to the closing. He was even present at the closing to again field any questions and ensure the closing went as expected. I highly recommend Andrew to anyone looking for financing solutions.

My wife and I had a difficult situation between buying and selling homes with different agents and being long distance. I found Andrew multiple times going above and beyond what he should be doing. Recognizing that buying/selling house waits for no one makes it difficult when you are at work, Andrew would ALWAYS pick up the slack on our end as well as give me much needed reminders. In addition, I found it refreshing to get honest answers from Andrew, rather than hearing what you “want” to hear. All in all, Andrew is great at his job and a really great person, that always has your interest in mind, and will do the right thing. He makes one of the more stressful life events, a little bit less stressful.

Andrew was very responsive and went out of his way to make sure we always had all of our questions answered. He worked with us to make sure that we could afford our home and get into it quickly, before we even found one to put an offer in. Even after closing, he continued to answer our questions and give us advice.
