He did an excellent job getting them the loan and assisting them with the home buying process. He sent them grant programs, hosted first time home buyer events, and remained in constant contact with us even while on vacation. John goes above and beyond.

John Franco was the absolute best!!! You will not find any other loan officer who gets things done…read morenot only fast, but efficient! As a first time home buyer he made this experience not only simple, but 100% stress free!!!! We even closed earlier then our set date because he was so efficient! He is so knowledgeable and will explain it to you in a way that you will understand. He also saved us so much money with his guidance in the process. Before you consider any other place because of a similar/same rate or perks, you will miss the best and most important things if you are not working with John. This is because John truly cares for the people he works with and doing what is best for them both financially and emotionally for short/long term. He will answer your calls and messages any day of the week and the best part compared to any other company or loan officer is that when you work with a loan officer like John, you work with him the ENTIRE TIME! Other companies will send you to different people for different processes, but with John Franco at CrossCountry mortgage, you have 100% reliable, committed, knowledgeable and the only person you work with. If you are looking to get a loan, you MUST use John Franco at CrossCountry mortgage!!!! He deserves way more then 5 stars! He gives 1,000,000% every day and enjoys what he does with the greatest passion and no one else can compare even close to him!

I'm a Broker, who deals with real estate clients both buyers and sellers. This office is a realty…read moreand mortgage lender. I have called Herman Singh many times, texted many times.. emailed many times.. and also tried to talk to his staff about files with buyers many times. This office does not call back, find reason to say they're "busy" or will "call back" and doesn't call back, text back or email back. Their goals are only for themselves not to collab with other offices in the real estate industry. Let me know how many times you can say you did everything by yourself and never needed to use anyone? If you trust using 1 person who has full monopoly on your deal I highly recommend you add in multiple opinions on your deal. I can surely bet if they don't call back and service other vendors in the industry I can only imagine how they service a client that they mess up on?

We were first-time homebuyers who were nervous and very aware of how the market can take advantage…read moreof those in our position. We were sent down an angel from heaven in Kieran Rodgers. He was not only the best real estate agent, but was so knowledgable about mortgage brokers, plumbers, inspectors, you name it. He is knowledgable, respectful, and kind. He was extremely responsive and respectful of any boundaries we set (wanting to use our own inspector, etc). He really took care of us, and made sure we weren't being taken advantage of. We are now in our first home, and it's thanks to the many miracles Kieran performed to make this happen. He will jump through any hoop to help others - especially his clients. He is a great realtor, and even better person. Cannot recommend him enough. Thank you for everything Kieran! :)

I had been through the LIHP first time homebuyer class and in my opinion, STAY AWAY! They are not…read moreon top of their game! I wasn't trying to get a rental apartment-even their so called "low income" apartments are ridiculously expensive and not a help at all for an ACTUAL low income person. I had taken the first time homebuyer course and paid $75 for it, then you take an easy-ish test and then you get the certificate and you're on your way to see a HUD counselor. Well, take a chance if you must, but I've never gotten to see said HUD counselor,and the person I was emailing with was SO RUDE and proceeded to tell me I don't have enough money (I do) and that I wouldn't be able to get a house! And they didn't even know WHAT CLASS I TOOK. HUH??? I PAID! And LIHP DOESN'T MAKE THAT DECISION, only a HUD counselor and a BANK can do that. So they just left me hanging with no certificate, no HUD meeting and an argument online!! It is not their place to tell ANYONE who can or cannot afford a home since I'm well versed in the low income housing market.Very rude, curt and uninformed.They were rude as hell to me and didn't even know what I had called them about! 3 different people were in on this email.I feel that they are NOT trying to help anyone unless you fit into their box and F U if you need more info, more cash or anything else, they just write you off. I was extremely insulted and have chosen NOT to even deal with these fools. They were not at all professional and do not deserve any state or federal funding for all the non work they do. So please take this all into consideration since there are multiple places to get said class and you don't even need that, you can find one on your own and they're most likely COMPETENT, unlike LIHP. Good luck.

We had such an amazing experience with Realty Direct NY…read more Unfortunately my husbands mother suddenly passed away in the summer. Aside from being overcome with grief, now we had to decide what to do with her home. From the minute we made the first call they were attentive and not at all pushy. They told us to take our time and not rush into anything and to make sure this is the decision we wanted. They assured us they would be there if and when we needed them...boy were they not kidding. We decided to sell and Amy Kernaghan Lent and Donald Lent came to us and went over everything from soup to nuts. They spent about 2 hours with us. Within days they hosted an open house and about a week later we had 3 offers. We accepted an offer and basically got a daily update, whether it was a phone call or a text just to keep us updated on the progress. I have heard horror stories from friends about realtors they have signed on with. We experienced nothing but professionalism and guidance through a very tough time. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for us. Scott and Lauri Gangale
