Nick Schiano. When I first bought my house, he was referred to my by Century 21 and I could see…read morewhy. He was competent and proficient at what he does. Whether it be correspondence with emails, phone calls, or texts, he was extremely diligent in responding in a timely manner. My initial funding had to go through the VA, where my bank didn't even know where to start. Nick knew right away what had to be done and made my home closing experience a breeze. After my initial experience with Nick Schiano, I was so pleased with his work, I began to refer him to friends and family. They have already started to use his services and we're pleased with the outcome. Fast forward a couple years, Nick reached out to me to let me know rates have been dropping and I should take advantage. He ran the numbers by me and we started the process the same day. Saved me a ton of money and I couldn't thank him enough. Nick Schiano is a true professional and I would highly recommend anyone to give him a shout if you're in the market to buy a home or refinance.

I've been meaning to write this since we moved in - and as I'm not one to normally (or ever) write…read morereviews, this time I felt compelled. I'm basically posting this to all my social media outlets as they deserve it. Some people do their job because they have to - its obvious that Greg and Dawn do it because they love what they do. Here's my story: After 8 years of being in Westchester, my wife and I decided to finally decide to cut the renting cord and buy our own place. However - there were some complications that we knew we would have. Being self-employed means the typical W2 paystubs that banks were looking for wouldn't cut it - and hoops would have to be jumped through. Enter Greg Pfeiffer and Dawn Sullivan of All Shores Mortgage. They were like lion tamers they way they worked with the banks. At one point things I was getting stressed out for all the paperwork that we had to get together, and Gregs comment to me was "Don't worry Mike - I have backups of backups. One way or another I'm getting you into this house." Greg was a man of his word and within 2 months of us finding the house we wanted, we were in. When I tell people how fast this went, no one can believe it; but we found the house on June 5th and closed on August 10th. I can't speak highly enough of the All Shores Mortgage team, and I have recommended them personally to multiple friends just within the past month. Without Greg and Dawn, there is no way we would have been able to get into the house of our dreams; and I can't thank them enough. They were with us throughout the entire process and walking us through any hurdles that came up. Without them I am sure that I wouldn't be typing this review from within my new house. Thank you both!

Compassionate, dedicated, kindhearted, perseverant, helpful and impeccable - those are the…read morequalities you should want in someone you work with in business. It is quite important to ensure you have those skills in someone when you are a first-time home buyer. You will hit the lottery if you use Bobby Papadopulos as your loan officer. There are not enough words to express the upmost gratitude and satisfaction with his services or his team. There are so many people in this industry for quick cash and possibly the wrong reasons. Bobby is the complete opposite. I was more than defeated in the home loan process. After a random yet quick search on Yelp, I found Bobby and decided to message him. I see why he has five stars. Although skeptical, because who is perfect? I have seen perfection in his abilities. Bobby allowed me to call him at 7:00 AM, through tears and disarray coming from my end, he stated, "I will help you". My situation was far from easy, he decided to still help us. Through diverse companies not explaining the process or requiring funds without explanation, Bobby held our hands throughout this entire process. From day one to closing day and beyond, Bobby does not leave you. He takes the time to explain to you what is occurring, why it is occurring and how to ensure a successful closing, organize finances and better yourself. He is extremely patient and understanding. He has worked in his personal time to guarantee deadlines would be met and satisfied. Without being local to me, he communicated with agencies near me to get the work done. Five stars does not compare to the amount that he and Contour Mortgage deserves. He has completely changed our lives for the better. Bobby is someone I wish was in every field not just the mortgage company because he brings professionalism, kindness, and perception. If you are looking for a home, find a home with a person who cares about your wellbeing above all. That will shape your mindset for your new journey- Bobby is the person to set you up on the right path. I will highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.
