My wife and I worked closely with Matt on our first mortgage, and we had a great experience every step of the way. We first met with Matt a year before we ended up buying and he was so helpful even... though we weren't ready to pull the trigger just then. When we were ready, Matt and the whole team were a pleasure to work with. And most importantly, they were so quick and thorough. We had a very short closing timeline and they got us through the whole mortgage process quickly and with no issues at all. I do not think we would have been able to close and get our first house without their support. Highly recommended!read more

It was such a great experience working with Jaime, Emily and team. I kept putting off my refinancing because I wasn’t looking forward the tons of paperwork, appointments to sign the paperwork, etc… ... Other than the notary and the appraisal, everything was done online. The team was in constant contact with me and provided regular statuses. They were very patient and answered my gazillion questions. They worked closely with me to find the best rate and payment that would fit my budget. We closed pretty close to the estimated 30 days they quoted me. We are very satisfied with their service. Thank you team!read more

Great communication from day 1. Sean and his team kept me up to date on everything happening with my loan and were patient with me and all my questions. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Sean, Aryn and the team at Community Mortgage were amazing! I’ve worked with several mortgage brokers and direct lenders in the past and they are by far the best! Sean took time to consult with me... and learn my financial goals up front and recommended the best approach and products according to my needs. The knowledge, experience and personal service they provided, combined with the tools they use, including video emails, online file tracking/notifications etc. made this lending process the easiest and best I’ve experienced! Plus They locked in a great rate and we closed in record time! I have full confidence in the team, will work with them exclusively in the future and highly recommend Community Mortgage!!!read more

Hands down the best mortgage company I've worked with. If you want speed in closing, fast communication, no runaround, and the entire loan process buttoned up front to back, then look no further. All... we had to do was show up and sign. Community mortgage got us the best rate with the least money to close. Couldn't be happier. Total professionals. They blow away the mega-lenders. Two big thumbs up!read more

Sean started the refinance process by presenting a video to walk us through different options. It was a unique and efficient way to guide us through the information. We got a low rate with very... reasonable closing costs. Sean and Emily were attentive and helpful throughout the process. We would use Community Mortgage again.read more

I've used community mortgage when I bought my house and 10 years later I've used them again to refinance. Both times they provided amazing service and clear communication is what I like the most... about them. I don't ever feel that I have to follow up to find out the progress of the loan. I have recommended them for years to family and friends, all of them have had pleasant experience! Thank you Community Mortgage.read more

After years in the mortgage and investment property business, I am extremely picky about my mortgage professionals. Most of them are a dime a dozen and not very informed. Community Mortgage is... professional, well informed, they work hard to navigate issues (which always arise), and they take personal ownership to ensure clients are satisfied. I highly recommend Community Mortgage.read more

The best refinance experience I’ve had. Ethical, professional, courteous, and first-rate. It all worked out perfectly despite my apprehensiveness (should I spend to get a lower rate?). My initial... talk with Sean was more strategic, discussing how the refinance would fit in with my long-term financial goals. Then Jamie took over and he was patient and diligent, spending an extraordinary amount of time to answer my many questions. Lastly, Emily handled all the details and paperwork superbly. Kudos. Would highly recommend.read more

Sean and Aryn and their crew have helped me with all of my mortgage refis over the years. Sean, Aryn and staff are always totally involved and make sure that everything is handled efficiently,... satisfactorily and professionally from beginning to end. Nobody misses a beat during the process. I am the kind of person who stresses over things, but no need with Community Mortgage. These guys are the best. Community Mortgage is the place to go.read more

Wow. Just wow. The team at community mortgage is second to none. Sean and Aryn specifically went above and beyond! My loan was straight forward, but my income was confusing to underwriters, I work... for myself, I have a couple rentals, my income was scattered and hard to pinpoint. They took the time and effort to ensure I was in good hands, and I was. I was denied loans from 4 other mortgage brokers because my income was “too confusing”. I almost gave up, but was introduced to them, and now I have my dream home. Thank you Aryn, specifically, for making this happen. You went above and beyond.read more

Spoke with several staff members as well as a few meetings with Sean during my refi. All were so friendly and professional. Also they actually apologized when contacting me on my vacation about... deadlines. This was so different from my previous refi experiences when demands were made on me to sign something within 30 minutes or else...! Another unusual bonus: when I asked Sean a question, he gave me his opinion and what he would do in my situation. Not just wishy-washy disclaimers about how no one can predict The Fed, etc. The entire process was painless and I have never been able to say that before.read more
