We almost lost the house. When the original financing fell apart, I thought my daughter’s first home was gone for good. Then our mortgage broker stepped in and completely turned the situation around. They moved with lightning speed, problem-solved at every turn, and guided us through so I could co-sign without a shred of doubt. Their expertise, determination, and steady communication saved the deal—and my daughter’s dream. I’ll never forget what they did for us. ... Read More

The best decision ever!!! Self-Employed and an Independent Contractor is nearly impossible to get a loan/funded or taken serious sometimes.

A Power Duo!!! Hands Down!!! I’d recommend anyone to work with them. They’re One In A Million… Preferred Rate!!! ... Read More

Shaughnessy and his team were AWESOME! They worked very hard to ensure my family and I were able to get our home. They made us feel like we were a priority at all times. The home buying process is overwhelming and they were very patient with us and they were outstanding in walking us through the process. Their continued support and optimism helped my wife and I feel at ease. Shaughnessy is extremely knowledgeable and I would absolutely recommend him and his team to my family and friends.  Thanks again for all of your help!  ... Read More

Shaughnessy met with us and helped us make a financial plan a year prior to us finding our new home as being self-employed it can be a tricky process. And then with the support of Michelle getting in all of our paperwork to underwriting they helped us execute the loan and purchase. There was bumps at the end due to the title of the seller but Shaughnessy updated us effectively through the process. We appreciated their patience with everything. Thank you! ... Read More
