Tim and John at Victory Funding made what seemed like an impossible situation simple,…read morestraightforward and fast. I started my mortgage process with a different lender and ended up switching to Victory after months and months of hassle, changing of terms, and declination letters. I went to Victory as a last ditch effort and they were able to get me closed in 30 days, saving me money and peace of mind in the process. Tim and John are super responsive and easy to talk to, and make everything very easy to understand. I'd recommend them to anybody and everybody looking for a loan, and will use them again in the future if the opportunity arises.

I can't be thankful enough for Tim Halladay and his team at Victory Funding. We used them on the…read morefinancing side to get our forever home and we are so extremely glad we reached out to them. They truly care about their clients and went above and beyond to get us to the closing table as fast as they could. It is such a comforting feeling when you know the financing team behind you cares as much about you getting into your dream house as you do. At Victory Funding you are not just a file to them, you are a true customer, there was literally never a time I had to worry about things falling through the cracks or that they didn't have our best interests at heart. Thank you Tim, we'll be back!

We worked with Joanne for well over a year only to find out that we would not be unable to get a…read moremortgage for the home we wanted because it was a double wide trailer.... That was a question that was NEVER asked by Joanne, and we had no idea to would be an issue because we have never tried to buy a home before and were relying on her expertise. We lost over $8000 because we paid for all the engineers and estimates that Joanne told us we needed. That's $8000 we can never get back OR use toward another purchase or build...... The real punch in the gut?? When we were treated as if this was something we should have known or disclosed and it was OUR fault. We handed over everything they asked for, filled out all the paper work asked, did EVERYTHING they asked us to, only to have them treat us as if WE did something wrong. The only thing we did wrong was relying on this company. OH! And let's not forget the bill we later received from them....... even though we couldn't obtain a mortgage to buy/renovate our home...... and were already out over 8 grand......real nice..... my recommendation? Go somewhere else. They were very nice at first..... until things went wrong.

As first-time homebuyers, my fiancé and I had no idea what to expect but Sandy made the entire…read moreprocess feel manageable from day one. I don't consider myself a lucky person but I do believe we lucked out getting paired with Sandy. Her response time was incredible which is important to me. No matter when we reached out, she got back to us quickly with answers. What really set Sandy apart was how knowledgeable she is about the Capital Region and not just the listings, but with the people. She connected us with great lawyers and knowledgeable inspectors. Every recommendation she gave was solid. If you know anything about networking, you know how important it is to have a solid one. She has this natural ability to talk to anyone about anything, which made interaction feel easy and genuine. She has a lot of house knowledge too which is so helpful for a first-time buyer. She is so much fun too. Beyond the professional side, Sandy is just a wonderful person. You know she genuinely cares about you and is working hard for what's best for you. When my mom passed away during this process, she reached out personally to check on me and see if there was anything she could do which meant more than she probably knows. If you're buying your first home (or any home) in the Capital Region, you want Sandy in your corner. We couldn't have done this without her. Special shout out to her partner Janet as well. Thank you Sandy!

Renata is one of a kind. She made the process of my husband and I buying our first home together…read moretruly incredible. Renata is extremely knowledgeable, competent, ethical, and responsive to any needs that arise. She truly goes above and beyond with transparency, tenacity, and professionalism and can truly move mountains when it comes to real estate. Renata remains our go-to contact for anything real estate related and even is supportive in finding contractors far after her job was done. In life so often it truly is the details that matter and Renata delivers not just in the areas of clear competence but also shines in details ensuring nothing is missed. We would not work with anyone but Renata if we were to buy or sell in the future.

After being pretty frustrated with home/land shopping for almost a year, I was listening to Vox Pop…read moreon NPR one afternoon and heard Renata giving advice to home buyers and sellers on the program. I called in and vented my frustrations and Renata suggested I do some of the smaller footwork on my own. After a few weeks and still no help from the "family friend" real estate agent I decided to call Renata and see if she could help. After answering a few questions she wanted to meet in person and go over what I was looking for. We setup a meeting and went over budget, location, and pretty much hashed out all the things I was looking for. She put me in touch with a lender she recommended and within a week we were looking at properties. Fast forward a few months and we closed in a house December of last year. Renata was very knowledgeable and always available if I had a question or concern about anything. The closing process was smooth and painless!

Tired of "average" services? I am! Looking for the best Realtor team that "listens" to what is…read moreimportant to their client --and makes you feel like your needs are first priority? I was lucky enough to have found Bobby, Colleen and the Marchesiello team. As housing is being volatile and is in a transition phase from a buyers market to sellers market with interest rates at its peak in over 2 decades, I interviewed multiple realtors. The Marschesiello team was prompt with their responses, follow up, market data, service, their process, recommendations and last but not least, understanding what was important to me. I went against their recommendation as I was willing to take a risk of not having an offer on the home within their allotted number of days based on their historical experience. If I had listened, I probably would have sold the home faster but I wasn't sure at that time and was testing the market. I am not sure how you can have a better agent than Bobby and their entire team. If we ever need to sell/buy a home, we know exactly who to call when the time comes =). Note they have a separate realtor if you are buying vs. selling. I have used other agents in the past and the Marschesiello team provided the best experience and will not look anywhere else for my future realtor needs! Thank you and keep up the good work and continue to provide an amazing service! The most complicated thing in the process was spelling Marschesiello as I was typing this review.

Her level of professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail are unmatched. She's also just an absolute delight to work with and took the time to really get to know us and our needs in order to find the perfect home for our family. Every step of the way, she kept us informed and prepared so nothing fell through the cracks. Everyone she recommended was outstanding and affordable as well and we ended up choosing from her recommended lists for our lender, real estate attorney, and inspector. They also all spoke highly of her, only further confirming how right we were in choosing her! We had met with several realtors in the capital region before making our final decision and not even a few minutes into that initial scoping call, I could just tell that Rebekah was the right fit for us. She truly goes to bat for her clients while ensuring that all offers, negotiations, and correspondence with other parties in the transaction are fair. Through the entire process of touring, making offers, and then while under contract, we always felt like we were in good hands. She was always one step ahead ensuring that all the right pieces were falling into place and was always there to reassure and help problem solve any time we had any concerns. I highly recommend her for your next home purchase! Thank you so much Rebekah for helping us find our forever home and making it feel so effortless compared to all of our previous home purchases and sales. You are THE BEST!
