This review is for John Georgi at HomeLoans in Lansing, MI. We needed a mortgage professional in Michigan, as we were looking into purchasing a cabin in the«Northern» parts… having never«done a deal» in the Mitten State before, I was a bit stumped as to where to start. Luckily, my stepbrother used to be in the mortgage business in Lansing and referred us over to John at HomeLoans. Excellent recommendation, and we could not have been more pleased with the professionalism and service we received from John — start to finish. From the very first interaction, I knew things would go smoothly. John has everything about the buying process/mortgage qualifications on lockdown. He’s very familiar with the ins and outs of Michigan home buying. He’s super responsive, especially via email… which was important to us as we were operating with a 5 hour time difference. He was always happy to chat via phone as well. My husband is a very tough mortgage customer(it pays to ask questions and be prudent, I suppose!) and John handled everything to his satisfaction, and then some. If you get 5-stars from Nick F(he promises to also write) it’s really like 10 stars. Organized, efficient, professional and honest. Every step of the way things were handled so well, I almost couldn’t believe it. I’ve had some nightmare mortgage brokers in the past that really soured me on the whole profession. John has reversed my thinking. I know I sound like an advert, but it’s really true. It isn’t that easy to find someone in this field that makes the process smooth and easier to digest, let alone… enjoyable?! In the end, we closed our«summer cabin» with very little difficulty(well, on the mortgage side of things, anyway!). John coordinated everything perfectly for a remote closing(not that easy) in the week between Christmas and New Years(even less easy), ran interference with the title company — and really did us a solid. Would highly recommend him and this company, I have to believe his associates are of the same caliber though I cannot personally vouch. Very pleased we were put in touch with him and that I can spread the word should anyone be looking for a «mortgage guy» that is honest, effective and smart. Thanks, John!
