In short: Eric is super dependable, knowledgeable, quick, precise, and best of all - he looks after our best interest. In detail: This is my second time working with Eric. As you can see in my previous review from May 2019, he helped my family purchase our first home. Fast forward, Feb/March 2020, as the mortgage rate had dropped significantly, we refinanced our mortgage, prompted by Eric's recommendation. We were keen to take the opportunity, but also had many nervous questions - about all the different ways that we might unwittingly get in trouble. He kindly explained it all: how much the one-time processing fee of the refinancing would be, how we would not have to pay much of those in advance, and even with the processing fee, how much we would save over the life-time of the loan, and many more. Eric really exemplifies a 5-star professional service in these four qualities:1) To any questions & doubts we have (since this is a new territory for us), he is very willing & patient to explain them all - to help us be as informed as we need to make our choice with confidence.2) He clearly outlines what specific things he needs from us in each stage of the process.3) He responds very quickly (90%+ of the time, I think he responded to my emails within 2 hours! And I have sent many emails with various questions)4) He looks after our best interest. We have run by a few advice we have gotten from other sources to him (such as "I heard bi-weekly payment saves interest a lot in the long run, should we do that?" or "I heard that only the payer of the record that receives 1098 can claim the mortgage interest deduction, is that true?") and he will NOT tolerate BS information from staying with us. He will call them out, explain the logic of the process that makes such advice false or against our interest. He cares that we have the correct knowledge to protect our best interest. These qualities of Eric were not news to me though. As my previous review from May 2020 shows, I already got these impressions of Eric then. Experiencing these qualities of him the second time though, a year later, makes my impression of him much more dependable. Highly recommend Eric as your expert to guide you through the complicated loan application process to get you where you need to be. read more

Eric provides: outstanding professional service, almost immediate turnaround, attention to detail and a sense of humor to boot. We recently worked with Eric for 2 home mortgage activities: we refinanced our primary residence and a short time later purchased a vacation home. Eric is a pleasure to work with, was very knowledgeable about what needed to get done for each of our situations and is always right on top of everything from the moment you start working with him. He has a knack for being able to explain the process and the details about the home mortgage process as well as the patience to do so. We've refinanced our home 2 times since we purchased it prior to working with Eric. By far this time was the smoothest and quickest. He processed the paperwork quickly and had us closing in no time. When you send him documents or questions he responds very quickly. When we were looking to purchase a vacation house, Eric again was right on top of everything. Eric prepared qualification paperwork in what seemed like minutes in order for our agent to be able to submit our offers. Once we locked in a contract on a house Eric was again right on top of it. He had the paperwork completed and shepherded us through the closing. Eric came to the rescue on the scheduled closing date. There was a problem with the appraisal paperwork and our 10am closing was going to be delayed. If delayed it would be days before we could close because of the holidays, a problem for us as well as the sellers. Somehow, Eric was able to light a fire under the right people, get the problem fixed and we were able to close at 4pm on the originally scheduled date. I would gladly work with Eric again for any home mortgage situations we find ourselves in. Thanks Eric read more

Many years ago my husband and I had a pretty stressful experience when attempting the home buying process and we ended up giving up. Upon recommendation from a good friend, we reached out to Eric this year and we are so glad we did. We felt lost and had no idea what we were doing, especially with COVID restrictions and all. But he made the experience so smooth and significantly less stressful. He's upfront with all of the needed documents and very quick to respond to any communications. He really clarified the whole loan process for us as first time homebuyers. And I realized one of the reasons we enjoyed working with him was because there was no point where we felt like we were talking with a salesman. At no point did we feel as though we were being conned or that big details were being glazed over so there could be a sale. Instead, Eric is very warm and calm and we were able to easily and completely trust that he'd have everything all set for us. And he did! He answered each and every question we had and went line by line through paperwork for us so we knew exactly what to expect and what everything meant. He's awesome to work with. And we're now proud first time homeowners! We would, without any hesitation, recommend Eric to anyone and everyone looking to purchase a home who wants a smooth, low-stress, home buying experience. read more

I closed on my first home last month and truly believe I couldn't have if I didn't have Eric on my team. What I liked about Eric is that he was very responsive to my questions and concerns. I like that Eric is down to earth and gives you a straight forward answer. I didn't feel like he was giving me cookie cutter answers or responses during this stressful process. Being my first time I was very nervous but Eric helped to walk me through the financial process and made the financing side pretty easy. Honestly, I had the best partnership with Eric more than anyone else I worked with in the process. He helped me to accomplish my goal of owning a home and I'd recommend him to anyone. He's trustworthy, dependable, and works hard to help the deal close. I give him 2 thumbs up. read more

Eric was referred to me by my agent Nikki Bryant. They were both great and really did a fantastic job. After living overseas for 21 years, I needed someone to get me up to speed on the current market both in home sales and financing. I put myself in their hands and my reward was outstanding service. Eric managed my available funds and made sure that I didn't overextend and worked me through every option and the process. Eric never did not respond to my calls and was very patient with the many questions and concerns and some fears. It took less then 3 months from the time I arrived back in the US to finalize my home purchase and at a fantastic rate. As others have said his knowledge is excellent and uptodate. He really does work when the lights are on. Good on yah mate. read more

After shopping around for loan officers, I was referred to Eric from a good friend of mine who said he was the best in town. I thought my refinance was going to be a simple process, however under extenuating circumstances my process wasn't so easy. Eric jumped through several hoops and fought for me all the way. I never felt like he was in it for the money, but because he cared. After three long months of battling with lenders and fighting my cause, he finally found a lender that would take my loan. He is absolutely the best loan officer anyone could ask for. He's always available and always willing to go the extra mile. I highly recommend him and hope you find out what a great loan officer he is! A true expert!!!! I will use in all my future transactions. read more

Even that it is the 4th house I buy in my life this is the first time I go to the process as the one I went here in Virginia. Eric was a great support for me. He answered all my questions and concerns and he went through the process with me. He explained everything and asked for a lot of papers !!! LOL but I knew that was to cover my credit and ensure the great results that we had. It was a pleasure to work with Eric; he is a great professional and I felt in good hands. I appreciate of his help and even he was with my in the closing with meant a lot for me !!! He is a professional very knowledgeable of his field and we can trust on and I am so grateful to had worked with him Highly recommended. Thanks Eric for all your support and your patience !!!! read more

Eric was wonderful. I needed a mortgage completed quickly because my broker was unable to prepare for closing within 30 days. Eric was very knowledgeable, clear, and professional. As a new person to this process, I believe that he advised me to make decisions that were in my best interest. I trusted Eric throughout the process. Even though COVID has changed the way we all conduct business, Eric was with me virtually and ready to respond to questions. Eric is great with communication. When I failed to respond, he reached out to me to ensure that I met all of the milestones. My realtor recommended Eric, and I am glad that she did. I highly recommend Eric. I felt very comfortable and the process went smoothly. He is amazing. read more

Eric has helped my wife and I buy two homes and refinance two, so far. After we purchased the first home with his help, we decided we would never use anyone else. It cannot be overstated how quick and efficient Eric's process is (while still taking the time to make sure you understand everything fully). For our most recent home, in the middle of this current market (Dec 2020), he was able to get us from offer to close AHEAD of schedule. There is no beating around the bush with Eric - when you need him, he is there. He's dedicated to helping you buy/refinance a home and you would be making a mistake to use anyone else for your mortgage financing needs. read more

Eric is amazing. I've now used Eric several times, whether it's for a home purchase or refinance. Recently, I refinanced one of my properties and again the experience was easy and flawless. I really like the fact that he goes out of his way to find the best product that suits your needs. He's extremely honest, answers all your questions quickly and gives good recommendations and opinions. If you're looking a trusted adviser who will be honest and will not steer you in the wrong direction, look no further. I highly recommend everyone to give Eric a call for your purchase or refinancing needs. read more

Eric is the best of the best! He helped guide me through purchasing a home and made the process as painless as possible. It's unfortunate we had a selling agent that wasn't as cooperative and responsive as he should have been and Eric stayed very professional every step of the way as he hounded the guy to do his job! I truly appreciate all the extra work and the late night calls! He was there to answer questions and talk with anyone who needed a question answered! We'll definitely use Eric again and refer him to all that are looking for mortgage finance assistance. Five Stars all the way! read more

Eric is the literal best. He was my loan officer for my first house and since then, no lender has compared. I am relocating to a new state and so Eric can longer be my lender. In this period of time I'be been through FOUR lenders that have been terrible. No one has been like Eric. I've even asked Eric questions and asked him for help and he was more than willing to assist even though he was getting nothing out of it. He is beyond timely in his responses and really knows what he is doing. He is amazing and I would recommend him to anyone. He's honestly the best. read more

Eric is the best! I have done all of my purchases and refinances with him since 1996! He is a seasoned professional and knows his business inside and out. He has been a loan officer, owned his own company and worked with tons of Realtors to make their transactions go smoothly with their purchasers. Many of my clients use Eric's services and he never disappoints. He can be reached at any time of day, 7 days a week. Who gives service like that? Nobody! If you need an honest, reputable, smart, communicative and get it done lender, Eric is your professional. read more

Eric has worked with our family on 4 separate occasions. He is the only financial / mortgage person that we trust. He is an incredibly honest and helpful man, ALWAYS AVAILABLE to answer questions, and he is always right! He found us the best deals on our home mortgages, and referred us to the best people he knew when the issue we has was outside of his domain. I cannot imagine refinancing or getting a new mortgage without him. He's truly the best and we are eternally grateful to him. (I have referred him to many friends and relatives who feel the same way.) read more

I recently purchased a new home and as a first time home buyer, had lots of questions. Eric answered all of my questions and explained the whole process, which made me comfortable. He was very thorough and communicated clearly with me which I really appreciated. I absolutely recommend him to anyone as he is very detailed and responses at a timely fashion. He is wonderful to work with and will help you get the best rate. Also has a great humor. I am very happy with Eric's service and will be recommending him to all our friends and family. read more

Eric was absolutely wonderful! My family and I purchased our first home a year ago. Eric really looked out for us to make sure we qualified for the best possible loan and that our monthly expenses as homeowners would be something we would be comfortable with. He walked us through the entire process, making sure that we understood everything with the loans. I could reach him anytime and his response time was super quick! He really is a wonderful person to work with and I would recommend him to anyone looking to finance for their home! read more

I'm totally delighted to write this review for Eric. He's friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. We had a very complicated mortgage deal to assemble and get done within a very tight timeline. He worked relentlessly to make the whole thing as effortless as possible for us AND he arranged for our closing to occur out of state during a spring break vacation with family; just 10 minutes in a coffee shop with a notary and we were done! There's no doubt in my mind that my next mortgage will be through Eric. No doubt at all! read more

Have worked with Eric for several years as a first time home buyer and again on refinance. Eric takes the time to explain the process, respond thoughtfully to questions, and make homebuyers more informed consumers. We've also benefited from Eric's scenario planning to help us work through different variations as we've considered refinance. His support have always made us more prepared, informed, and ready when the right house/opportunity came along. Our family remains grateful to Eric for his support over the years. read more

Eric is hands down the best! He made the buying process so easy for us. We had a house custom built for us and were so stressed out with deadlines that were not being met and worrying about the loan needing to be extended and Eric eased our minds and took care of absolutely everything for us. We closed in December and without Eric's help we probably would've ended up walking away. I would highly recommend him and if we ever move and buy another house he is my go to guy! Thanks so much Eric. Kelly & Robert Sprout read more
