I was in the process of looking to refinance my current home. Paul reached out to me to further…read morediscuss this matter. My experience with him was unpleasant. He also quoted me the highest interest rate thus far. During the entire conversation he over talked me, spoke to me with a condescending tone, was dismissive of my questions/concerns regarding the potential loan/process. He couldn't even be bothered to originate a proposed loan quote with a full breakdown of the loan costs/fees and what my monthly payment would be. This is most definitely a huge determining factor regarding which bank/lender is the best fit for me and my needs. When asked for a breakdown of the loan costs, his response was, "I can't give you that answer until closer to closing." It was at this point I knew this isn't a company I choose to do business with and I definitely would not recommend them based off of my interaction with Paul.

He walked us through the procedure leading up to closing providing direction and thoughtful alternatives as they were required.

We have already recommended him to our children!

This is a follow up to my first review. A couple of days after closing, my bank called and told me…read morethat the title company that I had given the cashier's check to had not endorsed the check. I said that's not my problem since I gave the woman the check. More incompetence! Then the next day, MDE contacted my son that more paperwork was needed (we had already sent them that paperwork) so I told him to ignore it. I was not spending another dime printing and faxing documents to MDE. They are incapable of sending documents that can be electronically signed. DON'T use MDE!!!

Compassionate, dedicated, kindhearted, perseverant, helpful and impeccable - those are the…read morequalities you should want in someone you work with in business. It is quite important to ensure you have those skills in someone when you are a first-time home buyer. You will hit the lottery if you use Bobby Papadopulos as your loan officer. There are not enough words to express the upmost gratitude and satisfaction with his services or his team. There are so many people in this industry for quick cash and possibly the wrong reasons. Bobby is the complete opposite. I was more than defeated in the home loan process. After a random yet quick search on Yelp, I found Bobby and decided to message him. I see why he has five stars. Although skeptical, because who is perfect? I have seen perfection in his abilities. Bobby allowed me to call him at 7:00 AM, through tears and disarray coming from my end, he stated, "I will help you". My situation was far from easy, he decided to still help us. Through diverse companies not explaining the process or requiring funds without explanation, Bobby held our hands throughout this entire process. From day one to closing day and beyond, Bobby does not leave you. He takes the time to explain to you what is occurring, why it is occurring and how to ensure a successful closing, organize finances and better yourself. He is extremely patient and understanding. He has worked in his personal time to guarantee deadlines would be met and satisfied. Without being local to me, he communicated with agencies near me to get the work done. Five stars does not compare to the amount that he and Contour Mortgage deserves. He has completely changed our lives for the better. Bobby is someone I wish was in every field not just the mortgage company because he brings professionalism, kindness, and perception. If you are looking for a home, find a home with a person who cares about your wellbeing above all. That will shape your mindset for your new journey- Bobby is the person to set you up on the right path. I will highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.

I was about to cancel the loan but after the long drawn out process and with COVID I didn't want to have to begin the process all over. Five days after my loan closed they were asking for a W2 from my wife showing how unorganized they were. I sent an email to the woman who I sought the loan though that additional principal I paid was not properly applied when Family First sold my mortgage to an even more incompetent company. Her email response to me was "that's odd"... Not "sorry, let me see what I can do to help" Now the company they sold my mortgage to never received any info on my homeowners insurance company, so without prior notice, I received a letter in the mail from my homeowners that I was dropped cause they haven't received payment from my mortgage company (nor have any info on them.)
