We had the best & excellent experience with Derek Lizo at H&R Block, and we can't recommend them…read morehighly enough. From start to finish, Derek was very welcoming, professional, knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly thorough about our tax return. Derek took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all our questions without rushing, and made what is usually a stressful process feel easy and reassuring. We felt confident and secure knowing our taxes were done accurately and with our best interest in mind. What really stood out was Derek's attention to detail and genuine care. Derek made sure we will received every deduction and credit we qualified for, and we left feeling confident and satisfied with the results. We found a friend that we look forward to seeing every tax season! Lifetime customer from the Tinio's. Thank you Derek! We appreciate you! Good bless and stay healthy! If you're looking for someone trustworthy and efficient at H&R Block, Derek Lizo and his team are the best people to see. We will absolutely be returning next year and recommending them to friends and family.

I never received my refund, after a year I contacted the IRS. These people never filed my taxes. But they were sure to charge me upwards of $200 to do my taxes. I called them and I had to prove to them I paid them, even though I'm positive they have record of this obviously they had my taxes in the office when I went to show my proof of payment via credit card bill. Mind you they did t NOT file them because they thought I didn't pay, they just forgot ? They refunded me but I had to wait and also go back in office for a paper check. SMH

What else could account for the billions being spent amusing us with armies of smiling geckos, psychotic emus and disaffected cavemen all enlisted in the equally grim science of distraction and pacification. All that by way of saying that I have been paying Geico like an obedient schmuck for years even after they put me through the ringer on a minor claim quite some time ago. (If you ever wonder what became of that kid who dropped out of high school in the ninth grade, well, he took his three cannabis soaked brain cells, bought a body shop and works for Geico as an adjuster.) Thankfully, a very nice woman named Joell from Ellen Nita's office shook me out of my insurance stupor and made it very easy to switch my auto policy. She's been sending me periodic emails for years. I should have responded sooner.

If you want an overly-aggressive, super salesy, fast-talking, used car dealership type experience,…read morethese are your "every realtor in north Jersey recommends them" (but I have no idea why) by-default, go-to people. I spoke with 2 different reps over a 9 month period (basically tried switching reps to see if my experience was any different; it was not). They're all local NJ branches of a large mega-corp based out of California, so YMMV, but at least in the local Hoboken/JC/NYC metro area, there are a lot better options out there. Just call any established, well-rated, long-time traditional lender and you'll get much more low-pressure, personalized experienced than this chop-shop. Pretty sure everyone (including the most popular brokerages in Hoboken) just use them by default, either out of pure laziness/proximity or because "one hand washes the other," or simply from agents and clients not doing their own research to know that better options exist. Do your homework. There are plenty of better lenders out there. This is very much a "metro NYC experience," a rushed effort with little interest in actually taking the time to talk to you as a person, with a we-know-it-all, we're-the-best, just-trust-me-and-I'll-take-care-of-everything-and-how-dare-you-ask-me-questions attitude. Home buyers, you are not in the 5 boroughs anymore. This is New Jersey. Find a lender who will take time to thoughtfully and thoroughly explain all your options, answer your questions, give you a sense of the current market, and talk with you--not "at you" and over you. Tons of nicer and more patient, low-pressure lenders out there to deal with. And oh, BTW, their website is also clunky and buggy (couldn't even upload docs properly), and their rates were higher than most of their competitors too! P.S. I am closing on my condo this week, and it will definitely not be through loanDepot. Hard pass!!!
