We…read morehad a very complicated set of circumstances and requirements and each time I was sure we were about to run into an insurmountable road block, Lew would reassure me that he could make it work and he ALWAYS did, even exceeding my highest expectations. We got a fantastic interest rate and AMG is one of the few mortgage companies that doesn't charge a bunch "junk fees" to pile onto your final closing costs. Lowest interest rate and closing costs on the open market, what more can a home buyer ask for?! I wholeheartedly recommend Approved Mortgage Group to anyone looking to purchase, whether you're a first time home buyer or a real estate vet as I. This is our third home purchase and the BEST experience we've had, hands down! And yes, I am terribly long winded, but Lew saved this deal so many times, it's TOTALLY deserved:)

The lender I needed!…read more Immediately after the conclusion of my first meeting with my realtor, I met with Hakim for about 20 minutes and by the end, he had provided me with a pre-approval letter. Next thing I know I was buying a home. For me, purchasing a home was a rough and humbling experience. There were a lot of communication issues between all parties and with it being my first time I was very uncomfortable. However, Hakim was very very professional and tried his best to get me what I need and to answer all my questions and make me feel comfortable. He also had a great team member that was very supportive and efficient. I truly appreciate all that he did for me!

We have worked with Tom Howell & his team for both commercial & government loans, and for both…read morepersonal and business ventures. I highly recommend their services for the following reasons: - Affordable. They really do work to provide the lowest cost loan possible, and their brokerage rates are very reasonable. I have investigated a number of different brokerage firms, & MM is very competitive. - Rates. I saw this when we were applying for loans for business purposes. After calling a number of lenders to get their rates, Tom's team provided the best solution for us as new business owners. - Personable & Honest. The're a small firm, and as a result you get immediate & detailed information, responses to your questions, etc. If something is going awry in your loan application process, you don't want to be shuffling between different departments, getting half answers, & trying to navigate an unfamiliar world. Tom & his team are extremely thorough in explaining each step of the process. They have often sat down with me to calculate mortgage rate changes, etc. For one particular product, Tom even advised me to look elsewhere for other offerings since he feared he might now have the best rate. Ultimately, I did end up using MM for this situation, but i think it speaks to their ethic & authenticity.

I worked with both Dan Strockbine and Tom Howell at Marathon for a recent home purchase and I have…read moreabsolutely nothing but amazing things to say about them both! I worked primarily with Dan, and Tom filled in a couple of times while Dan was on vacation. This was the second time I'd bought a home - last time, 10 years ago, was right before the market crash, and that whole process left me turned inside out. The entire thing was stressful, scary, and just never felt right in my gut. So every step of the way this second time around, I was stressed, scared, and nervous, but Dan and Tom were extremely patient with me and very helpful. I had a million questions for them, and they were responsive and respectful, they never talked down to me, and I never once felt like they were salesmen trying to get one over on me. They took care to explain everything to me to make sure I understood it. They were never annoyed at having to explain something to me more than once. They were forthcoming with all kinds of information and their estimates for fees and closing costs were pretty much right on the money. This was most certainly NOT the 'predatory lending' experience I'd had 10 years ago! Dan was especially helpful in a few situations - there were a couple times where I'd hit a roadblock in something he needed from me, and he stepped in and took over the task to complete it. I think he also sensed my stress a few times and flat-out told me - "Do NOT stress about this - it will be taken care of!" That kind of reassurance means a lot to someone like me in this process. The experience I had buying a home with these guys was easy and I would not hesitate to work with them again (except I've just bought my forever home, so no more mortgages for me)! If you're looking for a mortgage company, please call these guys. You will not be disappointed.

I contacted Steve and right away he put my mind at ease, which is not a small feat. He explained the different options, conventional, FHA, borrower PMI, Lender PMI, etc. and put no pressure on me what so ever. He also was extremely efficient and knowledgeable with regards to estimated closing costs and quick with advice on how to save money on things like title insurance and homeowners insurance. As luck would have it we fell in love with a home at the end of December and Steve and his team sprung into action. They moved so quick and had everything set up perfectly. He found us an amazing rate the next day and had an offer letter ready the next day as well. Long story short we closed on the house 25 days later, seriously, 25 days later and this is with the new year and MLK day in between. I had expected it to take double that time but Steve absolutely came through for us. And his estimated closing and cash to close numbers were spot on and less than the realtor estimated. Steve is an awesome lender. My only complaint is that he couldn't be our realtor as well because with someone like Steve on your side there is almost no need for one. If you are reading this then do not hesitate to contact Steve, especially if you are like me and have a million questions and feel the need to text and call randomly as thoughts come to you... sorry Steve. But really, this is who you want to use for your next loan. Thanks Steve!

They also handle all of the "heavy lifting" and shopping around, making it a painless process. Once SFS lays out the options, you only have to decide which one is ideal for your needs.
