Great Experience working with CJ!
“This was my first time to refinance and working with CJ made it so easy. He always answered all my questions and kept me updated on the process. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family.”

Best Details & Smoothest Experience!
“CJ has excellent knowledge and makes the many details and steps smooth and clear - least effort of any mortgage process we’ve done in 47 years. He is meticulous and thorough on follow-through, moving the process smoothly from start to finish. He is friendly and professional all at same time. We don’t plan to move again - but would absolutely use CJ if we didn’t - and will recommend him to any friends and family that are looking to move and need his services. ”

If everyone was this good at their jobs the world would be a better place.
“CJ was an amazing loan officer. He knew his job through and through. He is professional, knows the answers to your questions without having to consult anyone, and his experience level is unmatched in my banking experiences. Towards the end of my loan CJ helped me out where nobody else was, and helped get everything buttoned up even though this was no longer his burden, his fault, or his obligation. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a solid loan officer to streamline the process to look no further. Top notch, 5 stars, no complaints. Will use again no questions.”
—Austin Vadnais from Palmer, MA
Great Experience
“CJ was a pleasure to work with and was quick to respond. This has been the smoothest refinance I have done. From the initial application to the final closing documents was approximately 4 weeks. I would recommend CJ for your next refinance or purchase.”

Simply the best!

CJ is very good at his job
“I have used CJ for 2 mortgages now and will continue to use him for future purchases. He is easy to get a hold of, not awkward to talk to.
