Gary was patient and available to answer our questions at all times (and we had quite a few!). It was my first time purchasing a house and he helped ease our nerves during each step. He also fast-tracked (it took about two weeks) our loan to ensure we would be able to move in on the initial closing date. We could not be happier with the service his team provided us with! ...

I would like to first say thank you to Gary and his wonderful team. I was very wary on the process only because this was my first home purchase but let me tell you don’t be! You’re in amazing hands! Gary and his team has made this such an easy process, stress free and helped me the entire way. They answered any questions or concerns I had in a timely manner. I was so impressed with this process and how quick it went. I couldn’t have done this without having great people working for me to make this happen. I highly recommend Gary to anyone whether you’re a first time home buyer or not he will make this process so streamline. Appreciate it Gary! ... Read More

It was an excellent experience working with Gary. He is honest and wants to do right by his clients. Initially we chose to finance our mortgage through BofA as we were intrigued by their down payment assistance “Grant”. Long story short BofA denied us for the grant 1 week before closing. Gary and his team took immediate action and we were able to figure out a way to make it work and still close on time. We had serious doubts that we may lose out on our house, however, Gary made it happen. I highly recommend and will be referring him to friends in the future!! ... Read More
