Ernie English from Alligator Mortgage has been a blessing to us throughout the loan process. This…read moreis my fourth mortgage, so I have a little experience in this arena. In fact, I tried to refinance my home through my existing mortgage company (a big bank), and they drug out the process for two months before we gave up on them. We were definitely a complicated case, and Ernie worked hard to make it happen. He answered all our questions and communicated with us every step of the way. We are so grateful for all of his tireless work for our family. Best of all, he got us a great rate and saved us thousands of dollars over the big bank. Definitely deserving of a 5-star review.

Ernie at Alligator Mortgage made my first home purchase very smooth! As a first time buyer I was…read morevery nervous and he answered ALL my calls, even after normal working hours and made sure everything was under control! My closing agents also even noted that Alligator montage saved me a lot of money. 10/10 highly recommend!

If supporting the local Gainesville economy is not enough reason to go with these guys, I will add…read morethat they provided me a better rate than any of the big banks (BOA, Regions, or Suntrust). They also were responsive throughout the process (none of that "Sorry, I can't help you with that" business you get at big banks). To top it off, they allowed me to close in less than 1/2 the time the big banks were taking to close. It was a no brainer to go with Advisors Mortgage Group. My representative was Marc Spiwak, and he was amazing.

I was originally working with a different local lender to get a pre-approval for a mortgage, but I…read morecalled Denise Harrington at the advice of my realtor to try to shop around on a quote. Denise was really wonderful -- she told me what rate she would get, how her prices would likely compare to my lender, and very quickly threw together a fee sheet. The rate was even better than the initial quote I'd gotten from the lender I'd been working with -- which was already pretty low. She then went to bat for me and locked in the rate she promised -- even though mortgage rates were starting to trend upward. If you're shopping around for a mortgage, give Denise a call. In my experience, she'll work extra hard to earn and keep your business, and she will give you the best rate she can get up front.

We recently shopped around for mortgage origination lenders and narrowed it down to four companies,…read morebut Landmark Mortgage Planners ultimately won us over with their lightning-fast responses and unmatched professionalism. From my very first call to inquire about their process to the moment we closed on our property, their team supported us every step of the way. A special shoutout to Kayli -- she was an absolute rockstar throughout the entire lending process and, honestly, our favorite person to work with (and we interacted with plenty, from title agents to the realtor group). She answered all our questions faster than anyone I've ever seen and completely adapted to our preferred communication style, often communicating with us via text. If you're buying a place in this market, I can't recommend Landmark Mortgage Planners enough!

BEST HOME MORTGAGE TEAM for he purchase of our "forever home." Waldemar was our loan officer, and…read morehe had done our home refinance on our old home years ago, so I know that I could fully trust him.
