Stu Kolinsky helped us secure financing for our first home purchase. As first time homebuyers we valued the service that he provided and felt well-​informed every step of the way. He was very responsive and communicative in dealing with all of our concerns and questions. Stu got us very competitive terms and worked diligently on our behalf to manage multiple speed bumps that came up during the process. We would highly recommend working with Stu and Mortgage Master.

We had a great experience refinancing our home through Mortgage Master.
We worked with Gibson Lawrence here in California several years ago when we initially bought our home. The process was extremely smooth and painless, so we reached out to him when we were ready to refinance. Through the extensive resources of the Mortgage Master team, he was able help us again, despite having moved back to the East Coast.
Once again, the process was smooth and painless. Gibson got us an excellent rate, set up escrow and title services for us locally, and was available to us and communicative as he led us through the process. Electronic methods for submission of documents and signature/​approval made everything nearly instant, and the entire process was as convenient as if we were working with a neighbor.
I can recommend working with Mortgage Master, and will certainly call Gibson first if we need mortgage services again.

We had the BEST experience with Jim Kroll. He was extremely supportive and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He is personable and really made us feel comfortable. Another major plus was his accessibility– he replied to emails on the spot and was so easy to reach via phone. When we had a complication come up on our side, he was extremely supportive and helped us move past a stressful time during the purchase. I highly recommend Jim to anyone looking to mortgage their home. Thank you!!! (and for the wine at the closing, might I add home-​made). It means a lot when someone goes the extra mile instead of looking to collect a pay check. Jim went above and beyond and it was a true pleasure to work with him.

We would highly recommend working with this company. Stuart Kolinsky helped us through this process, got us a great rate and helped us manage some complicated elements of our process. He was thorough, responsive and stayed in consistent communication.

Fantastic experience all around. Jim Kroll was the best! He was always available when we needed him and got us a fantastic rate! Down to the bottle of wine we got at closing. Thx Jim! Love you.

We had a wonderful experience with Stu Kolinsky when we financed our home. He is knowledgeable, extremely attentive, and went out of his way to keep us comfortable during what could have been a very trying process. He’s a true pro!

It is rare to find a professional who cares more about doing the right thing than anything else. I have known Stu Kolinsky for probably close to a decade. When I first met him, he took the time to educate me and point me in the right direction on financing he couldn’t even write. I passed his name on to a few people, and he actually advised one of them against refinancing. In the past few years, however, he’s worked with me on (an incredibly smooth) refinancing — and most recently, purchasing a new home. The new home purchase was a whirlwind experience. He was not only available to us, literally, 24X7, he was the quarterback for the entire transaction — keeping in touch with me, the realtor, the attorney, etc. Closing a large purchase in just about a month was insane — and no matter what ridiculous issue came up, what had to get done, or where he had to go — nothing was ever a problem for Stu. I could trust that whatever Stu was working on, would be done right — and on time. And, I always felt well-​informed and that he was on top of things (even when he was supposed to be on vacation.) At this point, I have been so spoiled, I don’t think I could ever work with any other mortgage broker.

Kenneth Fried has assisted me with my initial mortgage (at a different company at the time) and the recent refinancing. He’s been extremely helpful, resourceful and responsive. I highly recommend him and will surely use his services again in the future.

Stu Kolinsky is fantastic! He is incredibly helpful, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He encouraged us to refinance our mortgage and saved us thousands of dollars. He walked us through the entire process with the utmost attention and care. He explained all of our options clearly and had great recommendations. Stu made us feel like we were his top priority and made sure the entire process went quickly and smoothly. I would highly recommend Stu to anyone interested in a new mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage.

Jim Kroll is fantastic. His communication, follow ups and customer service is outstanding. I would recommend Jim to anyone looking to purchase or refinance residential or commerical property in New York.

Ellen Morgenthal is an amazing mortgage broker. She helped us to get the best mortgage that fitted our needs. Ellen was very knowledgeable, and responded quickly to all of our questions. I highly recommend Ellen to anyone who needs a mortgage, whether it is a simplest mortgage or very complex one.

Stu Kolinsky did a great job guiding me through my first co-​op purchase and locking in a great rate. I was buying directly from the seller with no brokers, so I had A LOT of questions. Stu was very patient, explained everything, and was very responsive to emails and phone calls. Thanks, Stu!

Adam Dahill did a fantastic job getting us a mortgage for our home! He is informative, quick to reply with any questions I had and made (what could be) a painful process a breeze. Highly recommended!!!
