Starting with Janene, all the way to Bill, Jacky, Tina, Oh my GOD! It was unbelievable. THE BEST INTEREST RATE EVER! Amazing communication, very thorough with EVERYTHING, their availability to answer phones or emails regarding any questions or concerns. It was really amazing. They went above and beyond and we would absolutely use them again AND recommend them.

I found out after halting all interactions with a guy named Bill Mcgowan that he was not even on…read morethe listing for the employees at Homebridge Financial. He is the husband of Janene Mcgowan, who you will see on their webpage. He was working with me to set up a home loan for me and I was under the impression that he worked for Homebridge Financial services. I still do not know whether or not he really works for them, but I do not plan on dealing with them in the future so I no longer care. I had a terrible, horrible experience with this company and him in particular. I want to get into detail on here but will limit myself to the basics. Do not use this company for your home loans. I was a first time home buyer with good credit, and a stable income, and he came recommended from my realtor as I was looking at the time to use FHA loans. In the long run, Bill lied to me and turned right around to go back on his word and what he quoted for me in the beginning. He said initially, that he would work with me, knowing my situation (towards the end of previous year I had to take a leave of absence from work for 3 months as I was hospitalized for nearly two weeks) financially and what I had recently gone through (as I said I have good credit, and a stable job i've been at for 4+ years, promoted within company and all. So nothing sketchy on my end.) However when it came time to provide more than a pre-approval letter to the seller, he did a complete 180 and said he would not loan more than 10-20k (yes, 10-20 THOUSAND) LESS than what he initially quoted. He said that his companies' policy recently changed and that he could no longer work with me on the amount as even though he had said so, suddenly company policy would not allow him to anymore, and that he had already discussed it with his management and they said they would absolutely not budge. Needless to say I could not place a "backable" bid on that home and lost it to another buyer. In my vast experience in customer service and retail companies and businesses, if you quote something for a customer and, or promised it before policy changed, or you (benefit of the doubt here,) make a mistake (we're all human,) you stick by it for that customer. General courtesy. But he totally screwed up my home purchasing plans at the time and nearly ruined my purchase altogether. Later I found he was not even listed on the Homebridge webpage, where only his wife is listed and even with that I have not spoken one word with her, nor any of the other employees listed. So either Bill Mcgowan himself is a liar, or the whole company has something sketchy going on. At least the Bradenton area branch, anyways. For me to go on Yelp to write a bad review, trust me, it was bad enough. If I could give them negative stars I would. I did not want to even talk to any of them after this whole ordeal, let alone even want an apology from his management. Just moved on with my search. Luckily I found a house now that I like, am in closing stages on, and a loan officer that is keeping in close contact and is fairly well established and knowledgeable and so far, been true to his word.

Jim is just an all around great guy. He knows the business very well & makes the process seem…read moreeasy. I have heard friends talk about how difficult and time consuming there refinance was. Jim was always approachable and helpful. You truly feel that you have someone in your corner watching out for your best interest. My first attempt did not work out because of a lower than expected appraisal. You would think that's the end, but no it was not. Jim said he would keep an eye on the market & on rates for me. I figured that was probably just polite lip service; but no... about seven months later I get a call from Jim.... "hey Tim I think the market is just about right for you appraisal & interest rate wise if you are still interested". Not only that, but you could tell he truly felt bad it did not go my way on the first try... even though it was no fault of his; he helped me out with the second appraisal and boom refinance was done. Every question answered + every step explained = a very happy client. I would not only recommend Jim, but if it was a close friend or family member, I would insist on it!! Thank you Jim !! Tim T.

Yvette is a wonderful agent. We initially had another realtor and mid-way through decided to change…read moreover to her. Why? She listened to our needs. She was quick to respond and personable. It wasn't just about a transaction. If she didn't know something, she would go and find out. And she was honest about it. Her genuine concern to have us find what we're looking for really shone. We actually lost out on our first offer and were pretty bummed. Immediately the next morning the first email I saw was from Yvette with a new listing that met our needs and was about $100k less than the first one. She made time to go see the home with us at a moments notice knowing our time was limited. And our offer was accepted. Even after closing she made sure our issues were addressed. I'd highly recommend Yvette and team to anyone looking to purchase or sell.

He is professional, precise, knowledgeable and communication felt like I was the only client he had. Him and Rob came out and assisted with staging of our home. Their eye for design is without question on point. A lot of real Eatate agents have no idea about design and really don't understand their clients. Aaron is amazing with understanding what matters to his specific client the most. He listens and pretty sure he never stops working. He works hard for his clients to get them the best deal. He sold our house at the price higher than we listed for. Most agents wanted to list our house for 20k below what we were wanting to list, aaron and rob rolled with it and made it happen over asking. They stayed with us every step of the way and more than professional assistance, they assisted like a friend. They really cared and gave their honest opinions. Lord knows I'm not the easiest to work with but the patience his team had was outstanding. Josh who is another agent on the team was out of this world as well, everyone who Aaron surrounds himself with is top notch. I can't imagine anyone else assisting with our home selling process. Not to mention they were the agents for the buying of our new home- which we got under listing, in this market!!! Hire Aaron, you will not be disappointed.
