Keith is the best! Never did my fiancé and I think that our mortgage lender would be someone we'd want to go grab a beer with afterward, but Keith is that guy! He made the entire process so easy to understand and is incredibly personable. He always made us feel very comfortable in what can be a worrisome and uncomfortable process. 10/10 would recommend to anyone !

Keith was excellent to work with throughout my home purchase. He always answered when I called and took the time to explain everything clearly and in detail, which made the entire process much less stressful. Even after closing, he has continued to be helpful by answering general questions and offering advice as a new homeowner. He also did a great job coordinating the home insurance process and making sure I had everything I needed for closing day. I really appreciate his professionalism, responsiveness, and support, and I’m excited to work with Keith again for future property purchases.

Thomas Sullivan was absolutely outstanding throughout our mortgage process. He was incredibly responsive, always answering our questions in a timely and thorough manner, and consistently went above and beyond to make sure we felt confident every step of the way. As first-time homebuyers, the process could have easily felt overwhelming, but Thomas made everything smooth, straightforward, and easy to understand. He took the time to explain every detail and ensured we were comfortable with each decision. We truly appreciate all of his hard work and dedication, and we have complete trust in him. We would highly recommend Thomas to anyone, especially first-time buyers, looking for a knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely supportive mortgage professional.

This is our second time working with Tom. He worked with us on our original mortgage when we bought our house. When rates dropped he was on top of it and got in contact with us to refinance, saving us a ton of money. Would recommend Tom to anyone for their mortgage needs!

Amazing experience. Keith hands down was the best advisor and broker we ever dealt with. His timely responses even into the night time made our buying process so smooth. He was very organized and had the appropriate steps that we needed to take all laid out. I could not recommend Keith enough to anyone purchasing a home. He was honest, transparent, and trustworthy. Keith offered to reach out to us once a year and have a mortgage review. Additionally, he told us to never hesitate to reach out if we have questions down the line . Thank you so much Keith!!

After my divorce, I never thought that I'd own a house again. My credit score plummeted and although I have a really great job, I just never saw me being able to buy again. Maria contacted me and said if we do these 4 or 5 steps we can get your score up to where I can get you bought. She gavenme step by step instructions that I followed andnwithin a month or so I was closing on a house.

Outstanding Loan Officer – Drew Stark I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mr. Drew Stark, my Loan Officer, and the exceptional service he provided throughout my home-buying journey. Drew demonstrated an outstanding level of expertise in Veterans Home Loans, and his knowledge, skills, and abilities were evident throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain each step clearly, answered my questions with patience and professionalism, and made sure I understood what was happening along the way. What could have been a stressful and overwhelming process was made seemingly stress-free because of Drew’s preparation, communication, attention to detail, and commitment to his clients. He was always professional, knowledgeable, responsive, and reassuring. His competency and understanding of the VA home-loan process truly set him apart. Drew not only knows his profession—he knows how to put that knowledge into action in a way that makes his clients feel confident and supported. I am extremely grateful for Drew’s dedication and assistance in helping me achieve my homeownership goals. His professionalism and commitment to excellence are truly outstanding. Thank you, Drew Stark, for making my home-loan experience such a positive and memorable one! I highly recommend you to any Veteran looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and dedicated Loan Officer. 🇺🇸🏡
