Great experience
It was a pleasure working with Don and team every step of the way. We were able to get a much lower rate than I was finding elsewhere, and with no strings attached. Service was excellent all the way through closing. Would highly recommend Homefinity, and will definitely be using in the future.

Great service with better rates!
I had a pleasant experience working with Homefinity, specifically Jim and his team. They were upfront and provided clear details about the closing costs, mortgage rate, and all the terms. Jim spent quite a bit of time explaining the process and different options for mortgage terms. Once I made the decision to go with them, Jim's team completed the whole process in about 2 weeks of time. Plus, I received status updates at each step of their process. Overall, I was quite satisfied the rate they offered and their service.

Great information for first time homebuyer
Steve and his team were delightful to work with. Steve kept me informed throughout the mortgage process and explained everything to me. Even when I had questions, he was always there to provide a clear-cut answer. I enjoyed working with him and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or refinance. The information he gave me was vital in closing on time and promptly.

Don and his Team were 5 Stars!
Don and his team went above and beyond the call of duty to help with my closing and approval. I just become partner at a CPA firm and most lenders were quick to write me off since I was in a unique situation. Don took the time to understand my situation and guide me throughout the process. 100% will recommend and hope we can work together again!

I worked with Don - he was able to get me a great rate and beat out the other lender I had started with. We got through the process quickly and are headed to a fast close. Highly recommend.

Seamless Refinance Experience with JT and Team
I recently completed a refinance with JT and his team, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the entire process. From start to finish, every aspect of the refinance was handled with professionalism and efficiency. First and foremost, the rates offered were highly competitive, making the decision to refinance an easy one. Not only were the rates attractive, but JT took the time to explain all the available options, ensuring I was making the best choice for my financial situation. Communication throughout the entire process was exceptional. JT and his team were always prompt in responding to any questions or concerns I had, providing clear and detailed explanations every step of the way. This level of transparency instilled confidence in me and made the entire process feel smooth and stress-free. When it came to costs, I was pleasantly surprised by how transparent and fair they were. There were no hidden fees or unexpected expenses, and JT made sure I fully understood all the associated costs upfront. This transparency was greatly appreciated and made me feel like I was in good hands throughout the refinance process. Overall, working with JT and their team was a fantastic experience. The combination of competitive rates, transparent costs, excellent communication, and a smooth process made this refinance a breeze. I would highly recommend JT and their team to anyone looking to refinance their mortgage. They truly went above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction, and for that, I am extremely grateful. Five stars all around!
