Paul and his staff are top notch and did a great job for me and my family. For someone that has been in the military and has a VA Loan, even with less than perfect credit he made it happen for us.. I would use him again for sure.

Worked with Paul on two mortgages, and a refinance. No one will work as hard as him to get you the best rate, he really looks out for his clients. Hard working, professional who surrounds himself with a very knowledgeable staff.

I am a real estate agent that has been referring buyers to Paul for many years. He stays on top of his files and always gets the job done! He has a great team behind him to get the files to closing. He works diligently to get the files closed and has great knowledge of how financing works!
