tldr; When rates come down, I'll be refinancing with Bryan at Preferred Rate! Bryan is very talented, experienced, and creative. He offers a lot of perspective and was an invaluable team member alongside my realtor and attorney. He is skilled at structuring different loan products, offering different solutions, and packaging numbers in a way that makes sense. Additionally, he has a wide network in the real estate world (he has been in real estate, commercial and/or residential, for over two decades), and was the person who introduced me to the realtor I selected for this process. Bryan's business is 100% referral (I can't confirm that obviously, but I was referred to Bryan by a wealth advisor friend, so I believe it!), further underscoring the importance of network. When selecting a lender, it's also important to select someone who can get results within their organizations. Bryan has a lot of tenure within Preferred Rate, so when things are tied up in internally, he knows the levers to turn to get results for his clients. ... Read More

My husband and I are 22&23 and first-time homebuyers, so we know absolutely nothing about buying a home and we felt so overwhelmed at first. Then a coworker of mine told me about Bryan so we went to meet him. He was so amazing, he took us through the entire process of buying a house and made sure we understood every step of the way. Buying a house is a long process but he made sure to let us know that we're not alone and he is here to help and guide us the whole way through. We are so excited to start this journey with him! ...

I came across Mrs. Mrs. Alicia Malone when she appeared as a guest on a Forex Podcast in USA. I was listening to and was very impressed with her straight forward approach and the principles of her trading strategy. My heart then told me to invest $700 with her company as a trial. I was able to withdraw a profit of $8,300 after 7 days. Mrs. Alicia Malone FX. make this possible, do well and reach out to her for a secure investment too...

This is the 2nd home Bryan has helped me with financing and it was magnificent. Whenever there was a problem or issue with the loan process, he was able to solve the problem with his incredible wealth of knowledge about loan guidelines. I lived 250 miles away and the new tool he's using for uploading docs was as easy as taking a picture and submitting it - all on my phone. I went through a divorce and name change during the loan process and he took care of all the paperwork needed as well as communicating the change with the realtor and the title company so I didn't have to do anything. We were able to close three weeks early and I am very grateful to Bryan for helping me get the home of my dreams. ... Read More
