We closed on our first home in late March 2026 after a months-long process that required navigating…read morea tight timeline, a complex condo approval, and significant financial stakes. Kevin Leibowitz at Grayton Mortgage was exceptional throughout. As first-time buyers, we came to this process with limited knowledge of how mortgages work. Kevin invested considerable time in telephone conversations where he walked us through the fundamentals -- how loan structures work, what the key figures mean, and how different decisions would affect our outcome at closing. He was never dismissive of our questions and consistently ensured we understood what we were agreeing to before moving forward. His value became most apparent on closing day itself. Kevin attended in person and conducted a line-by-line review of the final figures. He identified a duplicate charge of approximately $13,000 that had not been flagged by anyone else in the room, including our attorney. He challenged it directly, and it was removed. Without his presence and diligence that morning, we would have overpaid by a significant sum. Kevin is responsive, precise, and genuinely invested in his clients' outcomes. We would recommend him without reservation to anyone navigating a purchase in New York City.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I worked with Michael Riemer at Guardhill for my primary home refinance. After talking to multiple…read morebanks and lenders, Mike offered the best rates in the market and worked with me seamlessly throughout the process. Mike and his team are very diligent and on top of things. The best part was the Mike himself called me and told me the rates had dropped and now I was going to get 1/8th reduction in the rate we had locked in, speaks volumes of his work ethic. All the paperwork was electronic which saved me a lot of time scanning and mailing documents. Mike was personally involved in every stage of the process and was always available to answer the phone or reply to emails, even outside working hours. Overall, I was very pleased with the whole process, it just took a little longer than anticipated but was well worth it. No hidden fees, always keeping the customers interest ahead. I would recommend Mike and his team to anyone looking to buy or refinance their existing home.
