I cannot say enough positive things about working with Wendy. This was our 3rd time working with her. We have now gone through Wendy for two home purchases and one refinance. I am passionate about sharing this feedback as we relied on reviews 7 years ago when we first found Wendy, so I am well aware of the importance of reviews. It can be nerve-racking choosing someone from reviews alone. Not only is Wendy extremely detail oriented, but she is friendly, communicates often & effectively, and she is extremely informative and helpful in answering any questions that come up about the loan process. Our home purchase this time around was more complicated as it involved not only timing out the sale of our previous home but it also involved a family estate situation. Wendy knew exactly what needed to be done and helped us ensure proper timing and information throughout the process. Not only have we worked with Wendy on multiple occasions but we have also referred her to close family & friends who have also had extremely positive experiences with her. I have no hesitations in continuing to recommend Wendy and would most definitely work with her again should a need arise. If you are looking for a thorough mortgage broker who puts her clients first and ensures a positive, stress-free process, look no further, Wendy Mariani is hands down the best! read more

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Wendy is! She is hands down the best mortgage broker I have ever worked with. We were fortunate enough to hear about Wendy through our agent who has been working with her for years. What a blessing she was!!! My husband and I sold our home and purchased a new home with a simultaneous close. On top of that, the closing date was less than 30 days. Wendy never skipped a beat. She was extremely organized, prompt, and efficient throughout the entire process. I can only imagine how stressful it would have been had we used any other broker but Wendy made the process easy and simple for us. She is a delight to talk to and I felt comfortable with her immediately. Wendy answered all of our questions quickly and explained the entire process thoroughly so that we knew what to expect every step of the way. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows her trade very well. Her experience made us feel very confident that she found the best loan scenario for us and we really felt that she cared about our family and wanted us to have the a loan we would be happy with in the future. We feel very fortunate to have been able to work with her and will recommend her to everyone we know that needs a mortgage broker. She is FANTASTIC!!!! read more

Wendy is phenomenal. Fast, competent, patient and very knowledgeable. The seller of the house we were buying wanted to move quickly and had a firm deadline to do so. We had promised we'd make this painless on our side, having put up several thousand dollars in earnest money to show our intention. I reached out to Wendy in a mild panic after our initial mortgage broker started missing deadlines. She assured us that though time was tight, she could meet the deadline and worked with us every step of the way, calling us or emailing us regularly, and sometimes several times a day. Every time a step was completed or she needed an update from us, she'd reach out. No second-guessing, no surprises, no wondering how things were coming along--she walked with us from initial phone call to the very end, when she warmly reached out to me to congratulate us as soon as we closed. We even closed a little early. If I had to pool all of my favorite vendors or service providers over the years, she'd be at the very top. That's how good she is. A second unexpected endorsement came from our real estate agent after Wendy called her to introduce herself. I received the following text: "I just spoke with Wendy. I LIKE her." read more

Wendy is the best. My husband and I used her when we were first time home-buyers five years ago, and now for our refinance. During our first time home buyer experience, she spent all the time necessary to make sure that we understood the process and was patient with all of our questions - since we didn't know what we were doing. She talked to us in terms we could understand and never once made us feel bad about our questions. Now, when interest rates are better than when we originally bought, she reached out to us to see where we were at to see if we were feeling like it was time to refinance. There is no pressure, and still the same amount of patience and flexibility that we need to make the refinance process work within our busy life schedules. My husband literally said, as we hung up the phone after an evening conference call with her, "I forgot how easy it is to talk with Wendy. She's awesome." She's knowledgeable about trends and is good for anecdotal feedback, which adds a depth to the experience and the decision making process. It's likely we'll do a refinance, and then someday buy another home - and we'll definitely be going with Wendy. read more

My husband and I highly recommend Wendy Mariani as a mortgage broker. We had a very tight schedule, selling our current home and purchasing our retirement home with the proceeds from our home sale. Adding to the tight schedule, we weren't retiring for another few years and this added a complication to the retirement home loan. The home was outside the distance for a reasonable commute to work, adding complexity to the loan. We rented an apartment in town for the work week and this had to be calculated into the loan process. Wendy was VERY thorough, thinking of every condition and piece of paperwork we would need to send to the underwriters to ensure the loan was approved. IT WAS! And the deadline was met - our home closed on a Thursday and our dream retirement home closed the following day. Wendy Mariani made the mortgage loan happen for us and we're so highly grateful to her. read more

Wendy was highly recommended to my wife and me by our real estate agent, who had worked with her many times. He assured us she was exceptionally good at tracking the purchase and loan process and that she goes beyond her professional responsibilities to make certain everything proceeds as it should. Our realtor was right! Wendy did in fact keep things moving smoothly, even when timing was quite tight. She is a great communicator, both as a listener and as someone who can clearly convey essential information. Responses to our questions (via email or voice mail) were always within a couple of hours at most, even on weekends. On top of that, she is friendly, upbeat, and gracious. We consider ourselves very lucky to have had Wendy on our team, and would recommend her to a friend without hesitation. read more

Wendy was recommended to us by our Realtor because "she never misses a deadline." After the service we had, we can absolutely believe it. My fiance and I just bought our first home and we're so grateful we had Wendy on our team. She explained every step of the process to us from start to finish and made sure we understood every detail. She anticipated our questions/concerns and always kept us in the loop about what was happening behind the scenes. She even went above and beyond by calling the listing agent to "pitch us" while our offer was being reviewed and then came to our signing meeting, in case anything came up in the final hours. What could have been a high stress process was a complete pleasure with Wendy on our team, we were well taken care of from beginning to end. read more

Wendy was amazing to work with during the process of looking for our new home. She explained the whole financing process to us and helped us get prequalified quickly so we could start looking right away. Her communication was very quick and easy, especially via email, and she provided us any and all documents we needed to put in our offers immediately and did not hesitate to show us different financing scenarios for all of the homes we were considering so that we could make an informed decision. Once our home offer was accepted, she kept us apprised of each step too and she even came to the final signing to make sure that we were comfortable and had an advocate on our side to ask questions to. I would highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking to finance a home. read more

This was my first home purchase and Wendy was excellent to work with. She made sure I was well informed through every step of the process so there were no scary unknowns. She also was a great teammate with myself and my agent, helping to advise us in our negotiations with the seller and she also helped to get the process done faster than usual in order to satisfy the seller's need to expedite things. The result was a nearly stress free home purchase. That is saying a lot of for a first time home buyer in a ridiculously challenging market. Work with Wendy and you will not have to worry about the mortgage side of the transaction. You can trust that she is handling every detail and will keep you informed of what you need to do on your end. read more

We originally found Wendy right here on Yelp, and chose to work with her based on all of her great reviews. She lived up to every positive thing said about her 100%. She is extremely organized, courteous and professional. She kept my husband and I updated on where we were in the process every step of the way. I appreciate Wendy for being extremely personable through the home buying process. Sometimes it's so easy to get caught up with numbers, rates, payments and percentages, but Wendy helped us really see what would be best for our family. In the end, we have a great home with a mortgage we comfortable with thanks to Wendy! I would highly recommend Wendy to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor in this tricky market. read more

My wife and I have utilized Wendy's services twice now, once for our original mortgage and the second time for our refi. I was especially impressed on both occasions at how accurate Wendy was able to forecast the down payment and monthly payments we would need to make. Her accuracy definitely was a key factor in our decision making on which refi option to choose. Wendy also went the extra mile on both occasions to ensure we were able to lock in rates at the right time and close early on both occasions as well. The bottom line is that we barely had to do anything more than sign on the bottom line, write a check when we were supposed to and smile our way into a new home and a lower mortgage payment! read more

I had the privilege of working with Wendy on a very time-consuming and difficult refi again after first working with her over ten years ago. She is thorough, and very quick to respond to all of my questions/calls/emails. I felt as if I was her top priority even though I knew she had other work - I have no idea how she does it, but she does it extremely well. Her knowledge and professionalism show, I would not use anyone else. And my sister, dad, and aunt have used her services throughout the years as well. We finally closed on our home in WA the other day, and we are in FL. Even being long-distance was never an issue. I cannot thank her and her staff enough. read more

Wendy completely deserves a top rating! She was referred to me by a Real Estate Broker as someone who would give me very professional, thorough and objective advice on refinancing. And that's exactly what she did! Moreover she made the whole thing as pleasant and painless as possible (talking mortgages is not my favorite thing!). I felt completely comfortable asking all kinds of basic questions and very confident that her advice was in my best interests. These days knowing that you are dealing with someone who has the highest standards of professional integrity and competency is something to be treasured and passed onto others! Thank you Wendy. read more

Wendy was so great! My husband and I purchased our first home with her and could not be more thankful for her expertise, guidance and flexibility. She mapped out the entire process, taking the time to explain how each step works and what we could expect. She also kept us up to date with day-to-day developments and reminders of what we needed to do on our end. We appreciated her honesty, clarity and kindness. With her help, we were able to close in a very short amount of time and get into our new home faster than we had imagined! We would absolutely recommend Wendy to any friends or family in need of a home loan. FIVE STARS! The Helms read more

After working for years in the real estate industry, I had many loan officers in my close circle and could have worked with any of them. When I purchased my home I chose to work with Wendy Mariani and Absolute Mortgage and could not have been happier. While my transaction had some tricky bits, Wendy worked through all of the issues, always keeping my best interests in mind and keeping me fully involved and aware of what was going on. She went above and beyond what I had ever experienced with other loan officers in the past. I would never hesitate to recommend Wendy Mariani and Absolute Mortgage to anyone. read more

I feel so lucky that I was able to find Wendy. She is super responsive, easy to reach, warm, and she worked hard for me and my husband so that we could meet a very tight closing timeline. Home buying is stressful, but at least I knew I can rely on her. She explained on the phone in simple words so that we could understand each paper we needed to sign.That saved my time and I felt much less stressed. I am self employed, and bought a house from out of state, so I was a little worried but she made sure we would be okay. I STRONGLY recommend her, she is the best mortgage officer I've ever worked with!!! read more

I contacted Wendy on March 10th to see if I could qualify for a home loan. I was apprehensive because even though our credit is good, we lost our house back in 2010. It is May 5th now, and we just finished moving into our dream house! Wendy took the time to find and verify a recent provision that would allow us to buy a house even though the bank has been sitting on our old house for five years. Wendy is online friendly, she is quick to respond to emails / text and is diligent about communicating with her customers. She lays out all the options, and made sure we understood the pros and cons of each. read more

If you are looking for a mortgage broker with integrity, smarts, experience, personality, and excellent communication, look no further than Wendy Mariani at Absolute Mortgage. From my first conversation with Wendy to my last, she has been nothing but helpful and informative. My wife and I were doing a cash out refinance that ended up being more than a bit tricky, especially during our time of social distancing. Wendy put her problem solving cap on and made things look easy. Our transaction went through on time and without a hitch. I cannot recommend Wendy highly enough. She is that good. read more
