Can't say enough great things about Justin and the team at Supreme Lending. They worked SO hard to…read moreget me in my first home, putting in the extra hours, working around the clock. Justin always promptly responded (even on weekends/late nights - even when I told him don't feel obligated to respond) and kept me up-to-date every step of the way. He gave me a breakdown on numbers (even with a video, which was VERY helpful) and how each loan worked, pros and cons. The best part, he went above and beyond and came to my closing - I felt SO supported!! Not only did I gain my new [dream] home but also a good friend after the whole process! I recommend Justin and his team 100% ‼ *Special shout out to my Jersey girl, Ivette on the team for getting me to the closing out the process (going in EARLY to work!) and explaining everything that needs to be provided, holy crap what a rockstar she was!*

My realtor introduced me to Doug Leoni knowing that I would be in good hands with Simons and…read moreLeoni--the firm is amazing! My experience with Doug Leoni and Loan Processor, Jennifer Nohrer, was absolutely fantastic. One thing that sticks out to me throughout my experience was the consistent level of communication and support I received from Doug and Jennifer. They were always there to empower me with knowledge, and did so in a timely manner. As a first time home buyer there was a good deal I did not understand, but learned along the way. At one point, I began questioning my own decision making process on the home I would eventually buy. Knowing that I was questioning my decision because of cost led me to call Doug. Doug patiently took the time to walk me through my thoughts and doubts. The conversation was two parts financial advice and one part motivational speech. The discussion made all the difference and put me into a home and neighborhood I love! The conversation helped me to understand that I was going through some first time homebuyer jitters. Doug helped me feel comfortable with the fact that I was doing something big but my thinking about it all was sound. Doug also put me onto a fantastic loan opportunity and ensured I would retain as much cash as possible to put into my home rather than spend it on additional closing costs. Again, the experience and caring about the customer shone thorough as I moved towards the numbers aspect of closing details. Jennifer displayed the same kind of support during the loan processing phase. She patiently got me through documentation signing, information collecting, and preparing for the steps I would want to take after closing. She also took part of a Memorial Day morning to talk through the closing numbers of my loan so I would be well informed ahead of closing. During this conversation she also explained some steps I would want to carry out related to my loan servicer and homestead exemption application. This is a team of people that you can trust and believe in. They'll take great care of you!
