In real estate, its location, location, location. For Mike and team, its amazing, amazing, amazing! I couldn't have had a better power team--Mike, Janet and my realtor. Mike went above and beyond and was always responsive. Not only did he help me with the loan and the many questions I had about it, he also answered a ton of questions about the area where the property was located. (This was a second home in a different state.) He literally spent many hours with me, going above and beyond what I have ever seen with other lenders. Mike is very professional, timely, knowledgeable, experienced, and thoughtful. I am positive if I would not have had Mike and team, my loan would have likely failed due to the unique nature and complexities of the situation. Without hesitation, I will recommend Mike to anyone!!
