I hate to fill out forms online, can I talk to a person?
I have bought and refinanced several houses and this was by far the easiest process that I have dealt with. I will definitely recommend David to my friends and family, that’s how good the process went.
David provided me with excellent customer service. He was able to quickly give me a very competitive quote. He promptly and clearly addressed any questions, requests and concerns that I had. He was sensitive to my particular needs and situation, and did not try to force me into doing something that I did not want to do. I would definitely recommend David Stein to someone I know.
Working with David was a great experience for us!!! I will always highly recommend him. Very friendly, down to earth and very knowledgeable in his field. He’ll never keep you waiting or guessing on any questions you may have and always gets right back to you. We will always be happy and pleased that we had the opportunity to work with him. David is the best!!
