Being a Realtor I know first hand…read morethe importance of a good lending team and Ian Bennett and his wonderful team are as good as it gets!! From the first phone call to the closing table everything is done with such precision and professionalism that it makes you wonder why anyone would use anyone else. I know I won't. From my Real Estate deals to my personal Real Estate Investments the choice is a easy one! Its The Ian Bennet team 100%!! There is two things that stick out to me the most that I want to stress about this team. Two things seem to be lacking in a overflowed marketplace. One, they care about you. His team wants your business and friendship for life. Number 2, they preform. Many over promise and under deliver with these guys its the exact opposite!! My mom always told me growing up, "If you want to get something done, give it to a busy person!" I love these guys as professionals and now as people!!!

I bought my first home in 2011 and refinanced that home in 2012. Sadly, both were done before I had…read morethe pleasure of meeting Jim Crowder. The experiences I had in 2011 and 2012 with another mortgage company made me very reluctant to ever get involved with real estate again. Nothing was smooth or easy and I never felt confident with whom I was dealing with. In 2013, I purchased an investment property and used Crowder Mortgage. The experience was nothing short of remarkable. Jim held my hand throughout the process and was always available to chat and explain what was going on, what he needed and why he needed it (sometimes our chats lasted over an hour!). Compared with the previous companies we used, who spoke on the phone with us for 20 minutes at most the entire time, this was a breath of fresh air. Jim is incredibly understanding, patient and compassionate, all of which are incredibly important qualities for a mortgage broker. The cherry on top? Jim actually came to the closing, even though the closing was an hour north of his office. Buying or refinancing a home is never easy or smooth, but Jim makes the process as painless as possible. I cannot recommend his services enough.

Being as this was our first home purchase and the process was more than daunting, my wife and I…read morewere grateful to work with Jim. He was generous with his time and thoroughness in setting us right through the process. We felt comfortable each step along the way. Jim was even able to attend our closing to clear up any last minute questions with the lender. We will always point friends to Jim if they need a mortgage.

Brian Manning - A Prime Example of Unprofessional, Rude, and Arrogant Behavior…read more My recent encounter with Brian Manning was one of the worst experiences I've ever had with a supposed professional. From the moment we began our interaction, he made it clear that he has no interest in being respectful, courteous, or even remotely professional. His demeanor was dripping with arrogance, and it felt as though he looked down on me the entire time. First and foremost, Brian has an unbelievably rude attitude. Instead of answering my questions or attempting to provide any helpful information, he dismissed me outright as though my concerns were irrelevant. Whenever I tried to clarify something or ask for further explanation, he would cut me off, acting like he was too busy or too important to be bothered. It was shocking to be spoken to in such a demeaning tone by someone who claims to be a professional. His arrogance was next-level. Brian acted as though he was the smartest person in the room, belittling my inquiries and making me feel like an idiot for asking what should have been basic questions. Rather than providing clear or thoughtful answers, he seemed to take pleasure in making the process as difficult and confusing as possible. He went out of his way to be vague, and when I asked for clarification, he responded with sarcasm and condescension. What's worse is his blatant disregard for professionalism. At several points during our conversation, he spoke to me in such a dismissive and mocking way that I was left speechless. His behavior was entirely out of line for someone in his position. I can't understand how someone so unprofessional can hold any role that requires customer or client interaction. Brian also seemed entirely unbothered by the fact that he was coming across as rude and disrespectful. In fact, he seemed to relish in it, as if treating people this way gave him some kind of power trip. It's baffling that anyone with this attitude would be trusted to work with others, as he clearly has no respect for anyone but himself. In summary, my experience with Brian Manning was deeply frustrating and left a lasting bad impression. His arrogance, rudeness, and unprofessional behavior make it impossible for me to recommend working with him under any circumstances. He made what should have been a straightforward process unnecessarily difficult and unpleasant. Save yourself the hassle and avoid Brian Manning if you're looking for someone who treats you with basic respect and professionalism--qualities he seems completely devoid of. There are far more competent and respectful professionals out there who deserve your business.

Brian Manning and his team are amazing…read more He was honestly the glue that made our home buying experience a great one. 1. He is super well connected & knowledgeable. We used both the real estate, and insurance agent he referred and had a great experiences with both. As first time homebuyers, there was a lot for us to learn and Brian was an excellent guide. 2. He was very responsive and almost always available. We bought in a competitive market that required quick communication, fast response to change, and a very fast close. Brian and his team delivered on all of these. I highly recommend Brian and his team.

Dave Schell was referred to me by my real estate agent Jill Grano (see my review here on yelp…read morehttp://www.yelp.com/biz/jill-grano-boulder). I have to say that, initially my plan was to shop for my loan online, given how poor the service was the first time I bought a home, in La Jolla (San Diego, CA). Dave rapidly changed that perception. Dave is on the ball, and got me the best rate, locked me in, and sent me everything I needed -- He even got me all the info I would need, in advance of closing, so what was a little nerve wracking the last time I bought a house (loan didn't get funded, etc. and ended up closing late) was a breeze. Do yourself a favor, contact Dave Schell at Insight Financial, you'll be happy you did! http://www.insightfinancial.net/ (303) 444-2885
