Honest, Diligent, and Single point of contact
“I price shopped multiple lenders including ones I had used in the past. Jay came in less expensive with far fewer fees than anyone else. When I had a better rate, he went to his superiors and got it matched. I chose him because he made me feel comfortable early on and answered questions thoroughly and honestly. During the process was even better, not only did he remain engaged WHILE ON HIS HONEYMOON! He also was the ONLY person I communicated with or provided documents to. I was NEVER passed to a processor or "closer" he handled it from A-Z. Honestly because of past experience I was somewhat nervous throughout the process because I wasn't getting multiple emails or requests from a multitude of people, turns out it was simply Jay doing what others SHOULD do. Getting it done effectively and without hassle for the client. Thanks again Jay!”

We're happy we went with Jay
“Jay has been extraordinary from start to finish. We closed on time as Jay promised. First of all – the communication was excellent. Jay was available at all times when we had a question, including non-business hours. And he always responded within minutes. Second, and most important – everything was exactly as he made us expect. There were zero surprises and this made us feel confident at all steps during the process. Third, we had a feeling that Jay cares. When he gave us a choice, he explained everything in small detail, described benefits and disadvantages of every possible scenario and outlined the next steps. Obviously, he can’t give financial advice, but he gave us more than sufficient information in order to make an informed decision at each step. We really appreciate Jay’s excellent work, efforts as well as his patience dealing with us as first-time home buyers. We will definitely reach out to Jay for our future financing needs. We are very happy we trusted Jay – this was a wise choice.”
—Max V from Pompano Beach, FL
