What a great personal service and business model! George Ayling is a very experienced and…read moreseasoned real estate broker and does a great job of communication and managing relationships. We own several residential properties and know the ropes and the buy/sell processes. We interviewed 3 brokers chosen from personal recommendations and were convinced George was the seasoned professional that could help sell our place. His references were stellar. Wow! What a delight! We both feel that the sale of our condo was managed better than we ever had with the traditional broker fee business model. We heard from George frequently. His expertise and guidance were very helpful. We got weekly statistical reports on views and all the prospects looking at our property. The scheduling system and follow up feedback was a great feature. Over the years, we have learned that people make the difference in the success of the deal. In our book, George and his team gave us the best service and expertise we have ever had--in all our real estate transactions! He will always have our business for any real estate transactions in the area. We only wish we could transport him to do our out- of-state ones too!!

Jeff was always available with kindness and wisdom to answer any of our questions and set us in the right direction.

We would highly recommend Jeff and anyone from the team here.

They are truly incredible assets in the home buying experience.

13-14 years ago my wife and I were buying a home and I was referred to Jason by my broker, before I…read moregot into the business. At the time, young and trying to understand too many things about the home buying process, we heavily relied on Jason's experience. My wife and I had quickly realized that Jason was providing an "above and beyond" service to us, got us a great rate, translated lending into common terms and he got the deal closed. We saved and really enjoyed working with him. At that time I pledged, that when I get into the business, he will be my lender. 1-2 years later I got my Broker's License and Jason has done over 100 loans for our clients and friends. Good guy that knows his stuff, and works hard to make it happen. In this industry its not the easy deals that show you off, its how you solve problems when things get tricky. He has never disappointed, and I highly recommend him.

None of that was Jason's fault. By phone or email, he was reliably easy to correspond with and communicated thoroughly without being inundating. His thinking several steps ahead in the loan process proved a great source of relief. Before prequalification for the co-op I eventually purchased, he ensured I understood the nuances of co-ops versus condos and, given a heftier-than-standard down payment, impressed upon me a liberal closing cost estimate before proceeding. He answered all emails/phone calls within a day, with the majority answered in a half hour or less no matter when contacted.

After falling through with 2 other mortgage brokers I finally contacted Chris Kinsella - and he…read moreblew any other broker out of the water, not only with his professionalism, but with his personal level of service to my wife and me. Chris is one of the main reasons we own a home today. I'm going to keep this short and sweet - Chris isn't going to make you feel hopeful about getting your home, he's not going to give you false expectation, he's not going to tell you anything you don't need to hear. He's real - incredibly honest and upfront about your financial situation and what you can do with it. Other people I worked with kept giving me a false sense of hope for what I could afford, and then everything would fall through last minute. This is so heartbreaking when you find a place you really want. This industry is so competitive you can't afford to have these kind of issues with professionals you're working with. The banking industry isn't one you want to mess with. They will scour your every penny, every bank account, everything to make sure you can afford your place. When you work with a broker you want someone who accurately reflects your situation. Back to Chris: after searching for nearly 6 months and finally finding the place we could both afford and one that we actually wanted, we became very close to loosing the property due to dealing with 2 finance companies that messed up our numbers. I had previously contacted Chris and been in touch with him to ask random questions, even when I was working with other companies. He was always patient and super happy to help me no matter the situation. When I finally called him at the 11th hour of closing, desperate for someone to give me a real sense of what I needed to do (pay off credit cards, a car loan, etc) - Chris stuck by to the very end and made it work out for us. I can honestly say that Chris is one of the main factors that we own a home today. Don't mess with other companies. Don't price shop when it comes to your loan. Other financial companies might offer you free appraisals, discounted rates, etc - but it's all pointless if they don't get the job done. Your home is worth it.
