I've cooperated with other mortgage brokers as well, but North Star Funding performs just on another level! Being Self Employed they're made some impossible deals for me possible and I'm really thankful to have them at my aid. Keep up the phenomenal work guys and I hope this coming fall we can close out another transaction.

WOW, please do not give this place your information or business. We submitted an application to…read moreNorthstar Funding last year but went with another company in the end. Today they contacted us saying a new application had been submitted this morning (including sensitive details, our SSN, etc.). We asked the rep to verify that the application had been submitted today and they confirmed but were going to double check with IT. Thinking we were victims of identity theft, we contacted all our financial intuitions, submitted a report to the FTC, only to find out that it was a complete error by Northstar Funding's reps. Reckless practices, slow follow up time, please don't give them your info. UPDATE: After reading this review, the company responded by saying "Your application was unfinished in the system since you never checked Submit. Therefore nothing was done. The system pushed the incomplete application today and we contacted you. Sorry, we reached out to you after you never hit submit on your initial application. Had you never filled out an incomplete application we would not have contacted you." My response: Three months ago, I was in the market for a mortgage, and I'm sure glad I didn't go with your business. Is your response to your error that I shouldn't have filled out an application three months ago? Are you blaming ME for your company mistaking this for a brand new application today? Your employee contacted me and said with certainty that someone used my SSN on your website today. "Had you never filled out an incomplete application we would not have contacted you" - Yikes. What a weird response.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Todd and his team as first-time home buyers, and…read morethey all did a phenomenal job. We originally discovered Todd through Yelp and decided to give him a call, he was readily available to answer all our questions and get the process started. Once all our paperwork was submitted, he was able to get our preapproval quickly, little did we know we would be on a lock down due to the pandemic shortly after. Fortunately, Todd was understanding and had patience with us during this crazy time. Once things got a little less hectic, we were able to pick back up where we left off. He took the time to explain our loan options on multiple occasions and was ALWAYS available to answer all our questions. Todd put a lot of hard work and dedication into getting us the right loan that worked for us, all while keeping our best interest in mind. He was able to provide us with an FHA option as well as a conventional. We decided on the FHA since it made more financial sense for our situation. We were made aware by our realtor that the process for an FHA loan can take longer than others, but with the dedication of Todd and his team we were cleared for our FHA purchase in only 11 days!!! The seller really wanted to close by a certain date which seemed impossible at first, but Todd pulled through and made it happen. He communicated very well with our realtor and attorney throughout the process, everyone worked great together overall as a team. Being a first time home buyer can be both stressful and scary, we had a million and one questions, we would call the office throughout the day, as the phone would ring on my end I would think to myself "they probably think we are so annoying", but once they answered the phone they were very patient and tentative and made us feel extremely comfortable no matter how many times we had to call them. In conclusion, Todd took a major weight off our shoulders by guiding us throughout this entire process. I would highly recommend Todd and his team to anyone looking for a mortgage loan. His services are outstanding, and we will forever be thankful for all their dedication to get us into our first home!!!

Most important ...she is smart! When we thought we were going to sell our home she provided us with great guidance on selling and buying. After deciding we didn't want to move there was no pressure. She was very happy for us even though she had spent many hours showing us homes and providing us guidance. No pressure at all. She is all about making her clients happy, not making a sale. We highly recommend her if you are even thinking about selling or buying.

And soon after they showed us that our dream could become reality. Now- I don't trust many people upon first meeting with the biggest decisions of my life. But there is something about working with Lynne and Maryanne that put my mind at ease. A no stress approach to getting things done. We weren't hit with contracts and papers to sign. There was no pressure to do anything. In fact- We appreciated Maryanne's input on homes we thought could be for us- but she knew better and moved us along. The expertise in real estate is right here. Which is why Maryanne is so at ease and doesn't make you stress. Her confidence and knowledge make this the best experience in a very emotional time. And now this- We started looking at homes and when we found the one we loved instantly put ours on the market. It sold in three days. Three days because of Maryanne's guidance on what to do. She knows the market. She knows how to price things right. And if you just trust her- the results pay off. We are still looking for a home as the one we wanted went with another buyer. (No fault of ours) Emotions high. But Lynne and Maryanne are guiding us through. Not just as business partners but as friends. The home we want is coming. And so will another raving review on my two new friends and real estate experts! Call Maryanne if you want honesty, no stress, truthful opinions and someone who knows the business better than anyone else.
