His expertise, style, strong relationships with a wide array of lenders, and team orientation (working very smoothly with my real estate agent and lawyer), made the mortgage process easy, securing a great rate for me. Sean's talent and expertise will save you an enormous amount of legwork in NYC's high-speed competitive real estate market. Highly recommend him for anyone looking for top-notch service in NYC.

Sean and Nicole are so kind, professional, and knowledgeable; they had our best interests in mind…read moreand we felt trust in them throughout the entire process. Despite the uncertainty of the current landscape, we were provided with frequent check-ins and guidance. Sean took the time to listen to us and to talk us through everything, and getting all our documents organized and uploaded felt pretty straightforward. Nicole and Sean were always impressively prompt in answering our questions and allaying our anxieties, and managed to get us rates that beat our local banks' by far! Our entire process was virtual, and we'd had little sense of what to expect before working with Sean. With larger institutions, I'd felt like just a number, but Sean really went above and beyond in helping us understand the process, as well as in advising us about how to proceed. Nicole and Sean definitely smoothed a complicated process, and we felt super lucky to work with them! Block has the best rates and the best service, and they really understand the NYC market.

We closed on our first home in late March 2026 after a months-long process that required navigating…read morea tight timeline, a complex condo approval, and significant financial stakes. Kevin Leibowitz at Grayton Mortgage was exceptional throughout. As first-time buyers, we came to this process with limited knowledge of how mortgages work. Kevin invested considerable time in telephone conversations where he walked us through the fundamentals -- how loan structures work, what the key figures mean, and how different decisions would affect our outcome at closing. He was never dismissive of our questions and consistently ensured we understood what we were agreeing to before moving forward. His value became most apparent on closing day itself. Kevin attended in person and conducted a line-by-line review of the final figures. He identified a duplicate charge of approximately $13,000 that had not been flagged by anyone else in the room, including our attorney. He challenged it directly, and it was removed. Without his presence and diligence that morning, we would have overpaid by a significant sum. Kevin is responsive, precise, and genuinely invested in his clients' outcomes. We would recommend him without reservation to anyone navigating a purchase in New York City.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Cross Country Mortgage in Elk Grove Village IL Specifically the Rich Kimball Team (You Too Gunnar)!…read moreIs AMAZING every time I do business with them. I am a Realtor so, I do quite a bit of business with them. They are personable, efficient, accessible, and knowledgeable. If they don't know something whether it is about appraisals, taxes, etc. They will put you in contact with someone that DOES know. They will even listen when you need to vent! (smile) I saw all the 1 out of 5 star reviews on here for Cross Country. I think you just haven't come across the Rich Kimball Team Yet!

Aside from getting the top rates for our mortgage (Brian beat all the other banks hands down and locked the rate as promised), Brian and his team are always available by phone and e-mail to answer any questions and my husband and I found that very re-assuring and professional. We hope to work again with Brian and his team for our other real estate purchases and will gladly and without hesitation recommend him to family and friends.

I cannot recommend Craig Paulson highly enough!…read more I was going through a very challenging personal situation when I started my apartment search, and Craig treated me with immense kindness, empathy, and respect from day one. He went above and beyond to show me a lovely apartment in Brooklyn--complete with a private backyard--owned by a wonderful mother-and-son landlord team. But what truly set Craig apart was his dedication: he was quick in responding to communications and stuck with me through the entire application process, guiding me through every detail until the keys were in my hand. His professionalism, patience, and genuine care turned a stressful time into a successful move. I am incredibly grateful for everything he did for me. If you need a real estate broker who is not only dedicated and sharp but truly cares about his clients as human beings, look no further than Craig Paulson!

So I had 3 checks to deposit because I thought it would be better and faster than mailing it. Brenda was my CSR and she was astounding. She provided me with information on how to do a mobile deposit. I told her I knew how but she was insisting on telling me regardless. Sometimes, it is better to be quiet and listen even if you know how to do it already. Brenda gave me a check for $5 so I can practice and not be shy about using mobile deposit. IT'S MY BIRTHDAY I have only been banking with NFCU since about January 2025, I already received a credit card with zero % term interest and earned $250 for reaching the program requirements within 90 days and the card is 11% lower than the cards that I have. I was able to get a loan at less than 13%. Doing business with this bank has been a perfect 10/10. Customers service is top tier A1. I dealt with a few CSR's but didn't get their names.
