Back in September my landlord gave me notice to move out. After realizing that the rental market…read moreis a complete ripoff for a single person making less than $50,000 a year, I decided to try and buy something. Landlords have made it nearly impossible to find an affordable apartment in decent area. Some places charge more than $3 a foot for something about as big as my old apartment's living room. The first place I saw when I pulled up a search was Kuranda Financial Mortgage. I had heard the commercials over the years and driven by the office countless times. I figured I would give them a call. It was the smartest thing I've done in years. Justin Morrison picked up the phone. I could tell he had the kind of personality I could work with. Very professional and respectful. He was able to qualify me for a small condo without a problem in just a few minutes. He referred me to an excellent real estate agent who he works great in tandem with. What a winning team. Even though my credit was fine, I had an issue that he was able to tackle while still maintaining the best possible interest rate. In addition, although I carry no debt, the mortgage itself created a higher debt ratio than most lenders like to see. My own credit union wouldn't touch my loan. Let me now say that I used to be a loan officer years ago for a short time. Since the early 1990s I have heard loan officers and commercials boasting about closing a home loan in 3 weeks. Reality is that only the hardest working loan officers can accomplish this and many times it requires a bit of luck. So these promises of quick closings fall apart more often than not. I was recently listening to a The Jim Rome Show on Tune In Radio and a mortgage company claimed came on and said they could close a REFINANCE (much easier to close a refi faster than a home purchase) in 3 weeks. Well, in this day and age I would hope they could. By contrast, the only reason Justin didn't set up our closing in 3 weeks OR LESS is because we agreed with the seller to close in 30 days in the sales contract. Amazingly Justin was able to do everything over the phone or via email throughout the entire process. I still have not met him in person. I can tell you he is one of the most professional hard working people I have EVER had the pleasure of dealing with. When I'm spending my hard earned money, I refuse to deal with arrogance, not getting things done, and a lack of communication. Justin literally helped save me from the cold, harsh rental market. I now own something for the same cost as what I was paying at my apartment. That low rent no longer exists as the landlord basically gentrified me out of there by raising the rent from $910 a month for 875 square feet to $1600 or $1700. Good riddance!

After dealing with a different agent prior to Vincent, my wife and I felt incredibly lucky to find him!

Providing the comforting insight throughout the process is all we needed and he went above and beyond my expectations. Vincent made finding our first home, a breeze!

I highly recommend their services for the following reasons: - Affordable. They really do work to provide the lowest cost loan possible, and their brokerage rates are very reasonable. I have investigated a number of different brokerage firms, & MM is very competitive. - Rates. I saw this when we were applying for loans for business purposes. After calling a number of lenders to get their rates, Tom's team provided the best solution for us as new business owners. - Personable & Honest. The're a small firm, and as a result you get immediate & detailed information, responses to your questions, etc. If something is going awry in your loan application process, you don't want to be shuffling between different departments, getting half answers, & trying to navigate an unfamiliar world. Tom & his team are extremely thorough in explaining each step of the process. They have often sat down with me to calculate mortgage rate changes, etc. For one particular product, Tom even advised me to look elsewhere for other offerings since he feared he might now have the best rate. Ultimately, I did end up using MM for this situation, but i think it speaks to their ethic & authenticity.

I worked with both Dan Strockbine and Tom Howell at Marathon for a recent home purchase and I have…read moreabsolutely nothing but amazing things to say about them both! I worked primarily with Dan, and Tom filled in a couple of times while Dan was on vacation. This was the second time I'd bought a home - last time, 10 years ago, was right before the market crash, and that whole process left me turned inside out. The entire thing was stressful, scary, and just never felt right in my gut. So every step of the way this second time around, I was stressed, scared, and nervous, but Dan and Tom were extremely patient with me and very helpful. I had a million questions for them, and they were responsive and respectful, they never talked down to me, and I never once felt like they were salesmen trying to get one over on me. They took care to explain everything to me to make sure I understood it. They were never annoyed at having to explain something to me more than once. They were forthcoming with all kinds of information and their estimates for fees and closing costs were pretty much right on the money. This was most certainly NOT the 'predatory lending' experience I'd had 10 years ago! Dan was especially helpful in a few situations - there were a couple times where I'd hit a roadblock in something he needed from me, and he stepped in and took over the task to complete it. I think he also sensed my stress a few times and flat-out told me - "Do NOT stress about this - it will be taken care of!" That kind of reassurance means a lot to someone like me in this process. The experience I had buying a home with these guys was easy and I would not hesitate to work with them again (except I've just bought my forever home, so no more mortgages for me)! If you're looking for a mortgage company, please call these guys. You will not be disappointed.
