His expert knowledge was evident from the outset and it was a source of constant reassurance. I really felt his personal interest in helping me achieve this goal; almost like a fatherly care. He was the real MVP of everyone involved and I cannot show my appreciation enough! I would also like to thank Sammy G. for her thoroughness, efficiency and vigilance in processing all the paperwork. I think the sincerest "thank you" is a referral and I would refer Eugene and the NYME Team without hesitation. I am a proud homeowner with sheer gratitude!

We worked with John Nevolo to purchase our first home in '19 when he was employed at Jersey…read moreMortgage and he locked us in at 5%. In '19. Our credit scores were excellent, no debt/loans. At the time we were mid-twenties, 1st time buyers, and thought this was a good deal because we listened to him. He screwed us in retrospect. We liked him, he had this used car salesman-type charm but also kept making parallels between us and what him and his wife did when they were our age. It was heartfelt-we fell for it. We ended up refinancing down to 3% shortly thereafter with the company John sold our loan to. Skip to Spring '24. Rates are around 8%. We have a baby and getting the itch to start looking. We finally had an offer accepted in Sept '24. Rates are now ~6%. We figured we'd give John another chance, he was now at NJLenders and he told us he had more flexibility. It wasn't a good decision, here's why: John repeatedly asked us to buy points, despite the fact John and the rest of the USA knew rates were coming down. Our final straw was when John called us to give us another 'offer' - buy down your rate from 6% to 5.675 for $9K. An absolute and utter sham. Oh and per John - you have 3 hours to think about it and I can 'lock it in'. This is one day before rates plummeted and this was the third time John tried persuading us to buy down points for astronomical amounts. It was at this point that me and my said uh oh - this guy is trouble. After the $9K offer, we asked our realtor to share his lender. When we told John why we even considered calling a different lender (because of the $9K sham) and tried being candid with him out of respect, he admitted that the $9K offer was 'a bad deal' and he 'wouldn't have taken that either'. Who wants to do business with someone like this? When we came to John to tell him the other lender offered us 5.75% clean-no points to buy down- he started with 'oh, you don't have time, you both work and that lender is likely adding hidden fees to make up for the lower rate.' FALSE. We compared the 2 loan estimates- it wasn't true. A few days go by. He calls us again, extremely pushy. Saying he will lock us in at 5.85. No points. Where did that come from? Why do we get the best he could do this late in the game? It was still higher than what we got from the other lender. We said no thank you, ended the call amicably. We tell him via email to withdraw our loan. As a last ditch effort he's really pulling for straws now - he tells my husband to ask our REALTOR to buy down points. His reasoning is the realtors are the ones that are making the money! I am not sure at this juncture if this man is sane and can't understand how he has been doing this for 30 years. I am insulted that he thinks we are this inept. We said no thanks, close our file, and ended the call amicably. During this entire process things were said that didn't sit right with me. One of them is a true issue I feel obligated to provide to anyone thinking about working with NJ Lenders, solely because they employ him, and John Nevolo himself as he is licensed in the state of NJ. When we were speaking to John and he was scrambling, stuttering, trying his absolute best to sell his 'deals' he tells us that only a small percentage of people shop around for lenders and he said as an example, he couldn't stand dealing with Indians because that's all they do is shop around for mortgage rates and that they are the worst to work with because of this, he'd rather not even be bothered. That's ALARMING. The reason why I'm taking the time to write this review is because I was pushed way too far at the end and here is why. When you switch lenders, you have to get the appraisal transferred if the appraisal has already been done. Usually this is a simple process. After following up for 3 days, John was not agreeable to transferring the appraisal to us and tells us via text to buy another one with our new lender. I absolutely lost my mind. I was so angry at this point after all of the things this man had tried to do to us while we maintained respect for him. I called him and told him how disgusted I was by him and his dealings. A person can only be pushed so far. Thankfully, our new lender used to work for NJ Lenders and knew the owners and was able to get the appraisal transferred but - WOW. It was discovered that John didn't even ask the right people at NJ Lenders for the appropriate protocol for transferring appraisal. He wasn't even trying. After attempting to screw us so many times again and again, this guy right up until the bitter end just couldn't manage to do the right thing. John has likely screwed enough people and he is so close to retirement now that I'm not sure he genuinely cares which makes him even more dangerous and predatory. I hope this review serves as an example and saves others from the headache my husband and I endured. If John did it to us twice, he'll do it to you.

It can be painful in the wrong hands. But it was clear from day 1 that Evan and his team care more about the people they serve than they care about money. And in the world of money, that is rare. Working toward my financing I called Evan several times to get financial advice that honestly went beyond what he should be expected to do in his work. He even called me on house closing day to see how everything went. His team shares his values as well--that people are important and customers are not just profit. I enjoyed working with all of them and found them all helpful in making financing as painless as possible. I would 100% (and more if that was mathematically possible) recommend working with Evan and his team on home financing.

From what I looked up online, Wells Fargo does seem to have the best rate compared to the bigger banks. So that's fine with me. He does follow up with you and updates you on what the bank is requesting to satisfy the commitment of the loan Since I am still in the purchase process of the house, I will have to come back and update this review at a later time.
