This is a much overdue review for Charles Lomolino he has been working with my husband and I on…read moredifferent rental properties in CT and he has always been very professional and easy to work with. He is responsive and tries his best to help us with random financial questions. There have been some hiccups along the way with some things but a lot of it has to do with the underwriters. We have had some mis understandings as well but all in all I can say he has been a true help in our road to getting some rental properties financed. We are located in California and he has been a huge reliable financial resource for us in the east coast. If you have any financing needs and want someone who is honest and reliable try and reach out to them.

I strongly recommend doing your own research and shopping around before working with this company,…read moreespecially if they are recommended by your real estate agent. Trusting that recommendation without comparing other lenders was one of our biggest mistakes. Our biggest concern was the lack of privacy and transparency. Throughout the process, the lender was in constant communication with our real estate agent, the listing side, and even the seller's attorneys. Information about our loan and personal circumstances was shared with other parties before it was communicated to us--including information we would not have chosen to share. When we initially questioned whether information had been shared, we were told it had not, only to later learn otherwise. This completely destroyed our trust. We also experienced delays and additional charges related to closing. After the issues surrounding our information being shared, we were given a "discount," which only made the situation more frustrating. My biggest advice to buyers: SHOP AROUND. Compare lenders and get your own quotes for every service you are allowed to choose, including title and survey services. We were repeatedly told "those are the rates," but later found differences of several thousand dollars compared with other options. As inexperienced buyers, we trusted the professionals guiding us, and we regret not researching everything ourselves. Less than a month after closing, our mortgage was transferred/sold for servicing to Chase. Had we known how the process would play out, we would have compared this lender much more carefully with Chase and other major banks from the beginning. Buying a home is stressful enough. Get multiple loan estimates, compare fees, question every charge, and never assume a recommended company is giving you the best deal. Based on our experience, we would not use this company again or recommend them to friends or family.

Looking for a home can be an exciting and scary experience but having Advanced Mortgage Consultants…read moreInc. on my side made ALL the difference. My mortgage banker, James Orlando was excellent. He was professional, took his time to walk me through the entire process, explain all my options in layman's terms, made sure that I understood every document I was signing and submitting. James is a great communicator, I was able to reach him anytime I had questions. During times when I was anxious, he was patient, encouraged me express my concerns and provided me with reassure that everything would work out and it ALWAYS did. I would be remiss if I didn't thank Sandra-his secretary/processor, for guiding me through the paper trail, staying on top of all parties, making sure every document was submitted on time, for her great follow-up and communication with me. Before transferring to Advanced Mortgage Consultants Inc., I was with a mortgage bank that delayed the process for over 4 months, repeatedly requesting the same or unnecessary documents, which was frustrating. Hands down, going to Advance Mortgage Consultants Inc. was one of the best choices I've ever made. Thank You Advanced Mortgage Consultants, Inc. for giving me so much attention and making me feel like I was your only client. Florence Ajayi-Barnes

We recently closed on a home purchase (in the midst of this pandemic craze) and worked with Jamie…read more She was fantastic throughout this process and so helpful. Between her knowledge of the area and industry as well as ability to keep us calm in something made exponentially more stressful due to COVID, we felt we were still able to have an exciting and positive experience in buying our first home. I almost wish we could do it again so we could keep working with her (but honestly, not really because I love our home too much)! 5 stars all the way!

The agent was helpful and very friendly but unfortunately they use the National Tenants Network…read more(NTN) franchise to screen applicants for rentals. You have to complete an NTN application for a specific rental so if you are applying for more than one rental, you have to complete a form each time. You pay $39 per application and that is for each person living in the rental. While I was completing NTN's online application, I got a code error message a few times on some of the fields, meant for their webmaster. When my application report was sent to the realtor, it turns out NTN made a mistake (my monthly income was indicated at an amount I hadn't entered anywhere on the form - and it was FAR greater than my actual income which made it all look fishy). I had no access to my report before it was sent to the realtor to make sure it was correct. Trying to get it changed was a nightmare. NTN requires you to print an application to access your own report, attach more personal ID verification, mail it to them, and then they'll let you know within 14 days if you're eligible for a copy of your report. I actually talked to a lawyer. I had an IT technician look at the code errors I screenshot while filling out my form and she said NTN was using Cold Fushion by Macromedia which was about 11 years out of date. Now I'm worried that NTN has my SSN in this Cold Fushion database. My advice as a prospective renter is to avoid this real estate firm simply because they use NTN.

After shopping around to various banks and lenders, we decided to refinance our home with Grayton…read moreMortgage, and I'm so glad we did! Not only were their rates among the best quotes we got, what really set them apart was their communication. Every step of the way, Kevin and Eyal would fill us in on the details of what was going on, breaking everything down for us in plain language, often patiently re-explaining concepts to us multiple times so that we could really understand what was going on. Whenever we had questions, they would often respond within minutes. Our situation was a little more complex than an "ordinary" refinance, and they made it as easy and painless as possible. These guys really go above and beyond -- I will definitely be using them again, and cannot recommend them highly enough!

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

She was awesome --we had to find a place very quickly, because another realtor had disappeared on us, and she found us a great place in Brooklyn with only a 24-hour turnaround time.

I highly recommend Leandra if you need a place anywhere in the city!

While that apartment ultimately wasn't for us, we found Kira to be incredibly enjoyable and warm in a world of not-so-awesome brokers. Kira formed a great relationship with us and worked really hard to find a home that both my boyfriend and I love. She has tons of insight into the marketplace, will talk to you all afternoon about the bars and restaurants you need to check out, and she'll hustle to get you the perfect place. I HIGHLY recommend her!

We bought a house from these builders and everyone we talked to said they were super nice,…read moreresponsible, and used the best materials and the best methods. At first we were suspicious because the listing/seller agent kept saying 'we know these builders, they are premier builders, they are very nice and will fix anything wrong but nothing has ever gone wrong in a house they've built.' But who believes the guy trying to sell you the house?! Basically every home listing we saw had 'premier builder or prominent builder,' written on it. However, when we found a Realestate lawyer in the area, he mentioned 'oh these guys, they build great homes.' And then we found a home inspector who as soon as he heard who the builder was said, 'oh nothing is going to be wrong with this house. These builders use the best materials, the best methods, and go way above and beyond the legal and professional standards.' It was really great to hear how respected they were by multiple people. And even when I questioned that all luxury home builders must use the best materials, the home inspector told us we we be surprised at how many construction companies cut corners even on multimillion dollar homes. We haven't moved in the house yet, so will update incase it's not true!

This is the 6th transaction that you represented us in the last few years. Your professionalism, enthusiasm, commitment and dedication to us separates you from the rest of the pack. You have shown us time and time again that you know everything there is to know about real estate and that you will do whatever it takes for the success of your clients.

The apartment seemed nice when…read morefirst moved in, only had an issue with their online payment as I was not able to find my apartment and assigned account but they did resolve the issue promptly (it was due to them inputting the wrong name). In December 2023, my bedroom wall (the entire wall) was leaking during a storm and the ceiling was dripping. I took pictures and notified the super and he told me to notify the building manager, which I did right away, providing pictures and which wall and the issue in details. They said they would notify the roofer to do repairs of the roof. I asked about the repair of my wall and they did not respond to that question (the wall had damp and water damage). In January 2024, the wall was leaking again and got worse as two corners of the ceiling were dripping this time, and I had to reach out to them again, providing pictures, asked about repairs of the wall and the roof, and they said they had notified the roofer but again did not respond to repairing my wall. Then they never responded with any updates. At this point I decided not to renew the lease. A couple of weeks later I asked the super about the wall, and his response was "because it was snowing and raining so they could't work on it" while there were so many sunny days since the first leak till this point. The water damage on the wall had worsened and it was expanded to the closet and the floor. I gave two stars for them at least responding (though not too helpful) and for sending me my security deposit back as soon as I moved out (though still misspelt the name).
