Sue O

Claudio was great at helping us navigate the loan process. He was referred to me by my sister and I’m glad that we decided to use him to secure our mortgage.  He was able to get us to closing very quickly without many hiccups. His experience was a real benefit to us.  There are so many pieces that need to fall into place to secure a loan and Claudio knew exactly what we needed to do.  ... Read More

Working with Claudio was an absolute game changer for us as first-time home buyers. From day one, Claudio and his assistant, Maria, made the process feel approachable and manageable. They broke everything down in simple terms, walked us through our options, and were always available to answer questions—no matter how small or unique. We felt informed, supported, and prioritized the entire way. Their attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference. We learned so much from them and couldn’t be more grateful for their dedication to work hard for us. We highly recommend Claudio to anyone buying their first home! ... Read More
