John Abril rescued us! As an experienced realtor, mortgage broker, and previous underwriter, he…read moredissected an extremely complicated home buying situation EXACTLY planned to our needs. We were attempting to buy my mother's home based on her will and trust (as she specified my husband and I would have the initial buying option), which included mom's siblings as co-executors. Mom also included her granddaughter (a minor) as a beneficiary of the home in her trust. We are now legal guardians of her granddaughter (our niece). We had to figure out how to buy the home from the trust, make sure our niece would get her fair share of the home value, and qualify for the remainder of the loan. We've always rented and are very inexperienced! We tried working with a couple other mortgage brokers and nothing seemed to be operating smoothly. I almost quit! Our credit wasn't up to par or the underwriter had problems with our income, etc. John reached out to me after a Yelp request for suggestions, and laid out a clear plan for achieving our goals... Due to his adept suggestions, my credit shot up after only 2 months! He came up with a plan, and then a better plan, and then an even better plan for our credit, interest rates, and differing loan options. His communication was constant and reliable, I could call with any questions and hang up the phone with absolute satisfaction. I didn't feel lost like I had with the other companies we initially worked with. I highly recommend John Abril to help find a forever home, navigate complicated loan (and family) situations, and feel accomplished with what you've achieved. Buying a home is stressful/scary/way too much adulting and John breezed through all our issues like it was another Tuesday. John, you took an impossible undertaking and made us homeowners! Thanks a million, you are the best!

John is everything you want in a mortgage broker. He's trustworthy, he keeps you informed and he…read morestays on top of the process with you every step of the way. He was always easy to reach and quick to respond when I had questions. He was always patient with explaining anything I didn't understand and he really took care to make sure I understood everything. We were refinancing and were considering taking cash out vs just straight refinancing. John ran several numbers for us to help us make our decision. He also checked with a few different lenders to make sure who would offer us the best deal. He didn't stop there, he was also able to negotiate an additional credit from the lender which we were not expecting but were very thankful for! His timing with locking in our rate was impeccable. He showed me how he was monitoring the market and what news he felt might affect rates. I trusted him to know what he was doing and my faith was not misplaced. Rates went up the day after he locked ours in and went even higher in the following days and weeks. So if you want someone who knows the business, knows the market, is patient, kind, and provides exceptional service, John at Bird Eye Loans should be your new mortgage broker.

He was there every step of the way and didn't make you feel uneducated regarding questions on our loan. Buying a house was scary. Then refinancing that house is even scarier.

He was patient with our hectic schedule and never got upset if we didn't call back for a day or so. I would recommend Mr. Cole to every person that needs help buying a house or just a loan. Thank you for being there in our time of need. -The Cortes Family

I was lucky enough to discover Josh on yelp! We started our loan with a different lender, 6 days…read moreinto escrow she advised me that there was no way she can do my loan. I was very desperate to find someone to get the loan done and multiple Loan officers said there was no way. When all hope was lost, Josh came to my rescue! He made the impossible possible. Josh is absolutely Amazing, Professional, fast responsive, efficient and savvy. He made the experience as painless and worry-free as possible, he kept us calm and never lost faith in the process. He won't beat around the bush and he won't string you along false hope. He doesn't try he gets things DONE! So here's where he went from AMAZING to OUTSTANDING, Josh closed a week earlier than our original date! In the middle of a global pandemic. In addition, he was able to get me a great rate. I can not thank him enough for his hard work and making the process smooth and stress free. We are truly grateful for everything you did! You can rely on Josh 100% and would recommend him to anyone. Can't wait to work again in the future!

Although I had initially called Josh with the intention of applying for a loan, I felt so comfortable and confident with his work that I ended up choosing him as my realtor as well - this turned out to be a really, really great decision! Josh and his brother Anthony were with me every step of the way. Being new to the process, I had several questions that were always answered very promptly. Josh was honest, hard-working, and incredibly friendly and sincere during this whole process. Due to the crazy housing market, the house that we were interested had several offers on it. With Josh's real estate savviness and knowledge, our offer was chosen. We were ecstatic! The rest of the process went extremely smoothly. The entire home buying journey was so much less stressful because of the support I received from Josh and Anthony. We moved in late November 2020, but even when I contacted them after, they were ALWAYS there for me. I have no hesitation in saying that if I called them up today with a question, they would give me the great same service I received from them several months back. Thank you Josh!!!

Usually people complain about how stressful it is but, Matt really helped guide my wife the whole time. Was always available to any random question we might've had at any time which really helped. He's genuinely looking out for one which made us trust him from the start. No sugarcoating and tells you how it is which we loved. Overall our experience with him was far better than what we had anticipated and the value he brings to the table like his knowledge really helps in making a decision for something this big. Matt thank you again for helping us and looking forward to working with you again in the near future!

Whether it was our initial conversation or discussing options at closing, Matt exuded professionalism, knowledge, and a sincere desire to help me find my dream home. He took the time to answer all of my questions, explain each step along the way, and was honest with his advice which allowed me to feel comfortable with each decision I made. What I appreciated most about Matthew was his timely response and thoroughness. Even when things got crazy, he kept me in the loop, followed up in a timely manner, and triple checked that nothing fell through the cracks. He also knows the local area like no other and has great negotiation skills. This made my experience as a first time home buyer very low stress. Matthew is a real estate agent that truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to ensure they are happy. I never felt pressured or like he wasn't looking out for my best interest. He is extremely patient, full of integrity, and dedicated to making this process run smoothly from start to finish. I would recommend Matthew Restrepo realtor and leander to everyone and anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you are looking for a knowledgeable realtor that you can trust and is passionate about providing outstanding service, look no further. Matthew is your guy and I will be choosing him again in the future and am thankful he worked hard on my behalf!

I was referred to Chris by my financial planner, before I even had started working with a realtor. One key thing I learned about the home buying process was: who you work with on your loan makes a BIG DIFFERENCE in your ability to close on the home you want. There are many points during the transaction where you can get f****d over by a lender who makes a mistake or takes too long to respond. I got so lucky to have found Chris - he and his team were incredibly responsive, professional, and exceptionally competent. A lot of lenders out there are just going through the motions and pushing paper. Chris takes his client relationships seriously, is committed to personalized service. Most exceptionally...he adds value above and beyond providing the loan service by educating his clients on different aspects of the overall transaction, based on his experiences and extensive knowledge. Chris doesn't need our Yelp reviews because every client he's ever had tells everyone they know how awesome he is.

Would absolutely recommend Chris and his team to anyone!

Mike was awesome to work with during my home refinance. As a new homeowner (and one that is always…read morelooking to save, yet doesn't know exactly how to do so), Mike was incredibly helpful all throughout the process. He educated me on the pros and cons of doing so and also made it very applicable to our specific situation. It's important to note that this all happened during the first six months of the pandemic where there was just so much uncertainty. All in all the process took maybe 3ish months from start to finish and we have been happily locked into our new rate the last year and a half or so. Throughout this time he was incredibly responsive, sending text replies within minutes of me sending off any questions (but not so responsive that it became unmanageable). Communication is so important and doing it right means you always earn my business. I plan to continue discussions with Mike for future similar inquiries. Thanks, Mike!

Our amazing financial journey with Mike Lee began in the first quarter of 2021. He was referred to…read moreus by an amazing Real Estate company, Livingstone Realty Group. We were looking for ways to reduce our debt. Mike was and is very professional. He guided us through the process and offered personal professional assistance at anytime of day and the few times that we needed questions answered late into the night, he was there for us both times. Yes, that's not a typo. He facilitated our cash out refinance and the last quarter of 2021, he facilitated a refinance to further reduce our interest rate!! He is an amazing mortgage broker and we highly recommend him for anyone who needs an honest, thoughtful, professional, and genuinely caring person whom you can trust has your best interest at heart. As we move forward into semi-retirement, we are relatively debt free thanks to Mike and his guidance while facilitating our financial needs. He is simply the best of the eight mortgage brokers we have used in our property purchases and refinances. Gail and Rufus Thompson
