Hi Philip!

Things have been a little crazy lately with moving and getting ready for the new baby, but I just wanted to say thanks to you and Jacquie for helping us get into our first home. I'm so glad that we remembered to contact you and were able to have a trusted team on our side. It was a huge weight off our shoulders to know that we had people looking out for us, especially when it was our first time buying a home and everything is unknown. Jacquie did an amazing job in keeping a 19 day escrow flawless and organized. We truly appreciate all she did and are grateful to have had her included in our experience.


We have been receiving your newsletters and have passed around as recommendation to friends & family. We hope to see you this summer in Orange County a little more. Hopefully we will get a chance to visit with you soon.

Thanks again for all your help!

Scott & Brenna Preston

Despite challenges with the buyer's credit and obstacles with the title, Craig Petit closed my client's transaction in twelve days! My clients were in a desperate situation and needed into their new home quickly. They signed the agreement to purchase their new home on a Sunday. Craig was available to approve them immediately! He is very knowledgeable about the loan process. He stayed in close contact with the me, the buyer's and the title company. My clients are happy. I wish all my transactions could be so easy!

Dear Mrs. Leah Green,

You may not remember who I am; but I am some one you helped & walked through the buying my first home. I never had a chance to fully give you Thanks for all of your help and concern with the financial parts I needed.

It has been a year now that we have been in our new Home and a lot of changes have come to pass. But do to your professionalism I have been in good shape in making all payments required.

I only hope that Home Plus Mortgage: Knows how blessed they are to have some one like you on their side. For you are truly an angel of God, also my Angel as well! I know we never met but you never let that stop you from assisting me. For this I THANK YOU. I always wanted you to see what you helped me to achieve. But tim did not permit.

Mrs. Green I can't say this enough, how I appreciate all you have done for me and my family; but I would like you to know that you and your family have alwys been and will always be in my prayers.

With great respect and admiration,
John Barnett


Craig,

We thank you so much for your help and mortgage information you supplied us with on our first home purchase.

Thank you and you too have a great 2008.

Best,
Mario & Brenda


Hey Derek,

I didn't want to hit the sack tonight without reaching out and saying thank you again for everything.

You went above and beyond. Special thanks for the extra attention over the last 24 hours to push the deal over the finish line.

Let's reconnect later this week, and please do me a favor and forward your CEO's email address (I'd like to drop him a note on our behalf).

Thanks again Derek,
Hugh


Hi Ryan,

Thanks you for your professionalism and courtesy. You made my loan process very smooth, even though at moments I was stressing.

Thank you,
Terri Harp-Montaya


Hello Craig,

The move feels like it's still going on, with too much still in boxes and the to do list getting longer instead of shorter. There have been (and continue to be) several challenges, but it still seems more than worth it. I will send along some shots from the deck once the home computer is set up.

I cannot say thank you enough for staying the course with us. I apologize for the nervousness and indecision, but it seemed as if the process was unduly burdened with various circumstances that left me feeling less than confident we would realize our goal. You were a steady beacon amongst all that - always patient and always delivering. If there is anything I can do to return that contribution (references, talking with the boss, etc.) please let me know. I would work with you again without hesitation and will call you when we are ready to refinance.

Thanks again for being a part of this dream.
Isaac Young


Craig,

It was a pleasure working together on 21 Roca Ct., Novato. Thanks for putting all the pieces together on the lending side. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any real estate assistance in Northern California.

Best,
Satisfied Customer


Dear Lending Tree and Mr. Pizzino,


RE: Home Plus Mortgage and Ryan Brandt


First I would like to say I had doubts when I registered on Lending Tree with regards to your services, and to be honest I didn’t think I would really use a lender you provided after the first quote I received, I then received two more but never a fourth.


Summit Funding came in with the lowest rate but I received one call from them while I was at work and asked if they could call me back later that day, and I did not hear from them again until THREE MONTHS LATER!!

Ryan Brandt at Home Plus not only called me, sent me e-mails but also listened to me when I explained to him I was clueless to what is involved when purchasing a home and mortgages. Ryan took the time to talk to me and give me guidance and explained he would be there to answer any questions I may have and this is why I chose Home Plus Mortgage through Lending Tree.

This home purchase was not easy by a long shot and it took five months before I finally found the home and yet Ryan was still there each time I needed him for questions, advice be it day or night during my house hunting and this is why I truly think Ryan Brandt is the epitome of customer service, something you don’t find to often in business anymore.


Through Lending Tree and Home Plus and given the fact that the housing market was going bad, the banks getting scared Ryan Brandt still got for me what my realtor and friends tell me was a great loan, not only that but my realtor explained to me the ease it was working with him when there was anything she needed Ryan was there each time with whatever she requested.


My own bank of over ten years could not come close to the deal Ryan worked for me let alone the service I received, and I have and will tell everyone I know about Home Plus Mortgage and Ryan Brandt.


The only thing I didn’t understand with Lending Tree is the Gift Card through Home Depot and even though I could have used it from Lending Tree (you need to make the details clearer and understandable) my experience because of Home Plus Mortgage was FANTASTIC!!!!


I will receive the keys to my first home in a couple of hours and just wanted to say “thanks” to Lending Tree and Ryan Brandt of Home Plus Mortgage for making this possible.


Thanks and God Bless,

Michael "Mikey" Huffman


Leah,

Hope you enjoy the pics... THANKS for ALL your help... you were amazing and we could not have done it without you!!!

Thanks again Leah!!!
Patti


Hi Craig,

Thanks for email. It really was a good experience and I do admire your professionalism and candor. We officially moved in Monday and will be moving this entire week.

Kip


Hi Derek,

I've been meaning to send a note via snail mail, but have been extremelybusy with the new job and unpacking. We wanted to thank you so much for an excellent job with the Home Loan. We appreciate your hard work in getting us preapproved before our househunting trip, which resulted in us being able to negotiate a deal on our house. We also appreciate your prompt response to every phone call and email, and answering all our questions during all phases of the loan process. Rest assured if we ever need to refinance or buy again, we will be giving you a call!

Thanks again,
Jim and Carol Skalsky


Hi Craig Petit,

Thank you very much for all your help and expertise! Glad to own the home up here!!

Kind regards,

Annette Thurman


Kristina,

Thank you so much for all your help when I sold my house to Walter. Even though I wasn't your primary person you treated me like I was. You made the transaction go so smoothly.

Thank you,

Renee Field


Ryan,

I wanted to thank you for everything you've done for Patricia and I. We finished moving everything out of my apartment today and I turned in my keys. We took most of it over to out new house only because Patricia's one bedroom apartment is small. You went above and beyond what you had to do for us Sir. That makes you a very special person in my book. They say good things happen to good people. You are that good person. We have an appointment with our escrow officer at 4:00PM on Monday. We are planning on having the wedding ceremony next month sometime. Today we changed our addresses to our new home and Patricia is going to have as many of the utilities for our new home switched over to us as she can, using the online sites. I hope you have a great weekend. Thank you again.

Chuck McCain


Hey Derek,

How is everything? Everything is fine with me, I'm enjoying my house even with lots of stuff to clean. Anyway, I would like thank you and Home Plus Mortgage for everything that you have done, you have done a wonderful job.


I have been passing your business cards to my friends. Also, when it's time for me to refinance I would definitely use you and your company again.


I have passed some cards to my agent Regina to give to some of her clients. Again, I want to thank you for all your hard work. Have a nice day at work.

Meliza Deseo


I can’t begin to express my gratitude towards Kristina Flores. Kristina provided me with exceptional, professional service. She made my application a very positive experience. I can honestly say that I will be a permanent customer for all future needs and I will definitely recommend Kristina and Home Plus Mortgage. Kristina Flores is a great asset to Home Plus Mortgage.

Thank you again Kristina for all of your help.

Felix Armas

Dear Jim VanVleck,
My heartfelt thanks for you assistance in the process of funding my new condo. It has been the dream for me to own my own home, and HomePlus made that possible. 4 years ago my financial picture was getting out of control, so I decided gaining control was a priority. Bankruptcy was not an option, so I went thru debt consolidation. With a year and half left on that program HomePlus saw the path and challenges I was facing. With Jim's excellent knowledge of the business, he advised me on steps to protect my credit and maintaining these steps thru out my financial life. I am deeply in debited to HomePlus Mortgage for giving me an opportunity to make a positive step toward a more stronger and sound financial future. Thank you Jim VanVleck and HomePlus Mortgage, it's been a true pleasure working with your company.

Deborah Ford

Craig Petit,
I want to emphasize how happy we are that we have worked with you. You have come through on all of your promises and done a great job. I worked at Amylin which is the largest hiring employer in San Diego. In the next 5 years, we plan on adding 3000 people to out staff and most will be relocating. Since I work in HR, I will sure to send them your way when looking to purchase property.

Sean

Craig Petit,
You are amazing at your job and you have come through to us every step of the way. Sean and I would like to write a positive review about the impeccable service that you have provided us with. Please let us know where we can submit that. Thank you for everything and we are SOOOO happy and excited!

Thanks!
Sarah Manly

To Whom it May Concern:

I am writing this letter in praise of the excellent service I received from your employee Jim Van Vleck.

In March, my husband and I closed on a townhouse in the Portland Oregon area. We had a very narrow time frame for closing and Jim was up to the challenge. We were able to close in less than two weeks and everything was accurately communicated and efficiently handled.

Jim was in contact with me almost daily with updates on the status of our account. He was also diligent in calling with any changes that occurred and discussed them thoroughly. He also took the time to answer all of my questions. As a first time home buyer, I had quite a few.

I felt his level of professionalism, his attention to detail, his diligence and thoroughness went above and beyond what is normally expected of a loan officer. As I could not actually sit down and visit with him face to face his openness to taking my phone calls and prompt return of messages was greatly appreciated.

Jim even helped me navigate and understand the other aspects of home buying that were outside of his purvey. That was added bonus for me.

I would give Jim the highest marks for customer service, knowledge and professionalism. I certainly will be calling him the next time we need to buy a home and will highly recommend your company and him personally to others that I know.
Please feel free to contact me for any further information and thank you for fostering the career of a person who was instrumental in making our home buying experience so enjoyable.

Sincerely,
Kirsten Carr, MD

Craig Petit,
I dido that and thank you so much for all the help you provided with both of our houses. I do admit that this process has been very trying and at times scary but we had professional people working on this with us and it just made the whole thing a lot less stressful. I know there were times when we all were like “What Now” but in the end things always worked themselves out. I do appreciate you and Dave a great deal. I know I am always saying that but it is from the heart when I say thank you both. This is one time that I can truly say that I would not hesitate if I had to refer you guys to someone else. I am just that confident in your work. I truly believe that God orchestrated this whole thing and brought you a Dave into our lives for a reason. It all just fit so perfectly and we all worked together which made the whole thing flow so smoothly. That’s the way that things should be. Yes we loved the house on Highview but I know now that, that wasn’t the house for us. We were so blessed with the sales of our former house with the guidance of our realtor and God too of course but it was intended for us to continue to be blessed so that is why the house on Highview fell through and Dave ended up finding the one on Astral. The bottom line is that this whole process was what is was, a blessing. I will forever be grateful to you both for your time, patience and persistence with everything and because of that my family has a home now that we can say if ours.

Thanks Again,
Renee Knox!

Derek and Jenelle,
I just closed on my first home with Jenelle Moffet and asked her if she could forward me her manager’s email address. I just wanted to let you know of the incredible service and help I received from Jenelle. Jenelle excelled well beyond all my expectations in every aspect of the lending and buying process. I spent a lot of time working with many different lenders and found that Jenelle’s mortgage packages were the most cost effective. Furthermore, she provided by far the highest level of service. I could always expect a response from her in the same day if not within an hour of asking her to look up some new numbers. She even went so far as providing me her cell number on weekends in case I found something while I was looking with my realtor. She was extremely understanding and patient with my many reservations due to being a first time home buyer in volatile housing market. She even went so far as to contact appraisers she knew to get their opinion on the different condo options I was looking at without my asking. There were many other similar situations where she went beyond her core role to seek answers to the many concerns I had. I hope this helped highlight a few of the amazing services that Jenelle has provided. I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for lenders. I guess the simplest thing I can say is that I am extremely happy in the new place I purchased and the financing I received due to the help that Jenelle has offered throughout the buying process. She provided such a high-level of service that I can honestly say there is nothing more one can ask for in a lender. I look forward to working with her again in all my future real estate deals and will certainly recommend Jenelle and HomePlus Mortgage to everyone I know.

Sincerely,
Justin Erickson

Craig Petit,
When making a major purchase like a new home, it is in your best interest to find a professional who can help you all the way thru the complications of the process. Dealing with Craig on securing a loan for our new home was our best experience so far. Not only that he was always upfront and honest on the few loan terms that we explored, he really worked hard on getting us the BEST rate on this very challenging market. There were more than a few occasions I called him during the weekends (one was while he was on vacation out of town) and he would always answer and always ready to help. Working with Craig, I learned about the lending process more than I care to. His explanation of the details leaves us with NO doubt that we got the loan term that best fits our need. Me and my wife are definitely impressed with the level of service he has provide us.


Thanks,
Rey Cabe


Derek and Jenelle,

I wanted to drop you a note in order to express my thanks for helping me secure a mortgage, and I was very happy that you were able to work around my issues that came up during the process. I'll make sure to recommend you to my friends who are shopping for homes or are in need of outstanding customer service. Perhaps I could help you more directly at work. Do you ever run special promotions? If so, send me your promotions and I will be sure to pass them along. Again, thanks for your help.


Sincerely,

Joe Murphy


Ryan Brandt,
Thanks for your help on this transaction. It is nice to have someone we can count on. We definitely move quite a bit so dont be surprised if you hear from us in the near future for another purchase.

Thanks again.

Matt Phillips


Dear Jenelle & Derek,
I really appreciate your assistance in this process. After I initially applied to Lending Tree, it was several weeks before I actually contacted you. The main reason I chose HomePlus was because you kept in contact with me during those weeks, both by phone and email. Once I started the process, you were very clear about what information I needed to provide to you, kept me apprised of the progress, answered my questions promptly, and were very patient and forthright. You made it easy for me. I would not hesitate to recommend you and Home Plus to my friends.

Thanks again for everything!
Gail Collins


Jenelle & Derek,

I just wanted to send you a quick note to tell you how much we appreciate the superb service that you provided to us throughout our entire transaction. My husband and I have experienced home financing with some of the largest banking institutions in our community and your service far outweighed the customer service that we received from them. From the initial onset of our discussions you provided us with a clear spreadsheet showing what our options were, and you were able to follow thru with those until the end, unlike several other lenders that we were shopping with. Dave and I feel very fortunate that we were able to connect with you. I hope to send many referrals your direction, you deserve it! I hope you have a great weekend!
Thanks again,

Dave and Aimee Warren


Leah,

I just wanted to tell you both thank you. THANK YOU!
You guys made this whole process very easy and pleasant. I will recommend you to anyone I know of that is buying a house. Again, thank you guys SOOOO much.

Tom


Hi, Craig

Thank you so much, We really enjoyed the smooth transaction. Hope you have a wonder full week!

Hey Derek and Jenelle,
Everything is settled smoothly. Thanks for your effort and your professional skill. We are very happy about your prompt service. If you come down to Orlando, give us a call, we can go our restaurant to have a meal or look around our house. Even the price is very low comparing California, But they are almost band new and pretty decent. You have a pleasant Day, Hey, if my husband has client, we will give you a call since he is realtor but not put a lots of time on real estate though.

Thanks.

Thanks for a job well done!!!
I just purchased my first home. It was such a pleasure working with Craig Petit. It seems that anymore, most people barely do what is required of them at their jobs, and it was so refreshing to work with someone who goes far and beyond what is expected of them. I always knew where I stood through the loan process because Craig always kept me updated. He was up front and honest and told me what I needed to know, not just what I neededto hear. Craig never seemed impatient and was always understanding and friendly. He was able to make my money work for me so that at closing I was given money back instead of having to bring a large sum to the table. He was also helpful in counseling me on my credit scores so that I could obtain the best interest rate possible. At the closing, all the people who dealt with Craig had nothing but fabulous things to say about him. I will miss working with Craig and his friendly voice, but will definitely look him up for the next home I buy. Thank you Craig, you helped me fulfill my dreams of owning a home and I don't think anyone else could have gotten the job done.

Sincerely,

Mary Gilbert

Hello Craig,
I just wanted to drop you a quick note and let you know how much I appreciate all that you did for us. You had gone out of your way on many occasions in working on my loan. In my opinion, far above and beyond the call. You had mentioned to me "it's my job, that's what I do". but it's a rare occasion when you find someone who is willing to go to the extreme that you do to "do your job". I am very impressed with your work ethics and morals that you demonstrated while working with me. I would hope that you forward this e-mail to whom ever your superior is so they can have a true testimonial of your outstanding work!! Thanks again for your hard work and being an upstanding guy.

Andrew Leyer

Good morning Ryan,
Just wanted to let you know that Dustin and I signed the loan docs last night, they should be Fed Ex'd over to you today. Thanks for all of your help, you really made purchasing our first home easy... we appreciate it.
Thank you,

My experiences with HomePlusMortgage are constantly positively reinforced . My clients need offerings of financial products for their home purchase, and as I work with Home Plus officers, I see an experience level that generates choices for my clients to consider and pick from to buy a home. They are happy. That makes me, as their Realtor happy. I recommend HomePlus Mortgage to my clients when they ask for my Mortgage Broker referral.

To Whom it may concern:
I would like to share my compliments to you about Craig Petit. I was not sure when I went to Lending Tree and began my search for a home loan what I would find. I had several offers, but Craig and Home Plus were my choice. It was the best choice, Craig kept me informed of everything to do with the loan from beginning to end and was always just a phone call away for any questions or concerns, he was never to pushy and very patient. Caig answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease during my first purchase of a new home. I would use Craig Petit again and refer him to friends and co-workers. Thanks, Home Plus and Lending Tree for having such an excellent person on your team.

Sincerely
Sylvia Harding

Hi Craig!
Thanks for making this finally happen. You are great to work with.
Thanks for the professionalism and for keeping us informed every step of the way. We went through a lot to get this done (you heard the horror story with the last guy), but the bright side is that we got to work with and meet you.
We will definitely use your services again.
We will be in touch, too!
Have a great day.
Kaleen

This commendatory letter is being written regarding Chris Gregson as a result of the way he handled the refinance of me home. It is first noteworthy to mention that Chris was the only Loan Officer of many who found a way to lower my monthly payments. At the onset he was dependable, organized and efficient. My refinance is complete less than 30 days after the point at which the process began. Mr. Gregson also found that I qualified for a Fannie Mae Loan thus eliminating the costly expense of an in home appraisal.

I am overall very pleased with the way that my refinance was handled and particularly with Chris Gregson.


Sincerely,

Susan S. Balcarcel


Dear Mark

This was one of the easiest loan we've ever done!! You're great. Thanks for all your patience with me.

Dear Mr. Phil Pizzino,

My wife and I would like to thank you for a great job Neil Melton did for us on our refinance loan at HomePlus. We had checked out several other lenders and Neil was the most polite and informative one we had spoken to. Neil was very efficient, and very quick. He responded back very quickly and got our loan done amazingly fast. We just like to say thank you for a job well done. We would refer HomePlus to our friends and family as well as do all our other business with you.


Thank you

Michael and Jessica Padilla


Dear Sirs,

I have recently closed on a refinancing mortgage of my home through your company. My Sales Manager was Neal Melton. I would like to take this opportunity to inform you of the excellent service I received from Mr. Melton. He was very professional and took care of all the details for the financing. I know that he encountered some stumbling blocks along the way, but his professional demeanor and tenacity cleared the way. I appreciate all the effort he put into my case and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to refinance or purchase a home. His knowledge and competence made him easy to work with and successful in securing my loan. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to express my gratitude for a job well done.

Dominique L. O’Shia, R.N.


Craig,

I am very happy that we had the pleasure of working with you to refinance the house. This has been the most pleasant experience in refinancing we have had. Believe you me this is tremendous because in the 20 years we have lived here we have refinanced 10 times at least. I wish you and yours a fabulous holiday and a Happy New Year.

Anthony Reymann


I would like to thank Mr. Neal Melton for doing such a wonderful job of processing my home loan. His professional and courteous manner made this a smooth process even when there were some bumps in the road. I will highly recommend Mr. Melton to all of my friends and family for all home loan needs.

Thank you,
Irvy I. Johnson


I wish to thank Tony Bunting for the excellent job he did in refincing our home. He was very pleasant to work with and made the process almost painless. We are going to do a refi with the second and I am sure he will do a great job. If everyone was as nice, and through as Tony we all would be a happy. Again, thanks Tony for a job well done!! Look foward to closing the second as quickly as possible. next year. Have a very Merry Christmas, and Happy New year.

Sincerely,
Marlene Balli


Phillip,

My name is Emily Osborne and Tony just recently refinanced our home. My husband and I had a considerable amount of credit card debt and wanted to start new. Tony not only helped me with that process but also in many other aspects of my financial life. He has become a great help to me and I will continue to lean on him when it comes to my financing needs. I will never forget all that Tony has done for my family and I. I will tell everyone I know to use him and what a great help he could be to them. Tony is a great loan officer and a great person. You have a winner on your team!!

Sincerely,
The Osborne Family


To Whom it May Concern,

I recently closed a loan for my primary residence in Denver and want to convey my appreciation for the special attention and professionalism exhibited by your company. This was a last minute deal and Chris Gregson went above and beyond the call of duty from the approval process right on through to funding the transaction. Chris truly listened to what I wanted to accomplish with this loan and found not only the right program from my needs, but kept me informed every step of the way. Thanks again for all your hard work and I would not hesitate to recommend you and your company in the future.


Sincerely,

Pete Lyons

 


To the attention of Chris Gregson and supervisory staff at HomePlus Mortgage:

I would like to make a testimonial statement on behalf of the service delivered to me, by Mr. Gregson during the process of refinancing my condominium, in October of 2004.

The following page should be included in his file for reference and commendation:

I feel the need and urge to express this to any potential homeowner looking to refinance or purchase. Your financial professionals are people that work for YOU, in the same way that your doctor, lawyer, or accountant work for you. They provide a service that allows you to make informed choices, actions, and provide accurate information.


You would never choose a part time doctor, lawyer, or dentist. That is evidence that someone lacks the complete commitment. When it comes to YOUR money, YOUR house, and YOUR ambitions, and YOUR WELL BEING it is a MUST to have someone as concerned and committed to YOUR best interest.


The same should hold true for YOUR mortgage company, and your personal Loan Agent.


You demand and deserve the service, attention, and information that a true and bonafide professional offers. Nothing less. It is on this basis that I chose to do business with Chris Gregson, and in the future needs and desires, I will do business with Chris again.


Gladly I would do this again, and feel no need to ever consider anyone other. My best interest were served above and beyond my expectations.


Thank you very much Chris!!

Michael T. Wolf

 


To Whom it May Concern;

This is a note of commendation and appreciation for Mr. Tony Bunting for the very professional way he conducted himself and his ability to deliver the approval of my loan in such a short and efficient way.

Many thanks Tony!
Estrella P. Watson


Hello Chris,

I just wanted to drop a note to tell you how happy I was with the deal and the service in my refi with you and Home Plus Mortgage. You guys got me an APR that I thought was only possible with perfect credit and you kept me informed of the entire process every step of the way. The next time I need any home financial assistance, I won't have to search the net or the yellow pages, I only have to remember Home Plus Mortgage.

Thanks a million,
Don Perreira

 


Dear Mr. Pizzino,

Here is a letter to let you know that your team, in particular, Brian Duda, Senior Loan Officer did a stellar job with our refinance.

Brian is a consummate professional whose knowledge and experience makes him a pleasure to do business with. Not only is Brian courteous, friendly and helpful he’s also extremely reliable, dependable and prompt in his follow up and through.

I would be happy to recommend to those interested in refinancing or getting a home loan that they get in touch with Brian.

Anna Scharf


Dear Mr. Pizzino,

I am writing this long overdue commendation letter regarding one of your Sales Managers, Neal Melton. He did an outstanding job successfully refinancing our home loan. We were more than pleased with his commitment to get our loan refinanced in such a short amount of time. He provided us with Good sound advice, explained in detail how and when our loan would get completed and kept us well informed and in the loop from the beginning of the actual loan process to the very end, when the re-fi was complete and money was in our bank account. Neal will be our first choice if we decide to refinance in the future and will be recommended to our friends and family for their home loan needs. His hard work and dedication is greatly appreciated.


Thank you

Nick and Maricel Silvestre

 


Dear Chris,

Ordinarily, I just say thanks a million, but in your case that wouldn't begin to cover it. Thank you for your help.

I'd like to take this opportunity to commend your employee, Mr. Brian Duda, for all the hard work he put in assisting us in the refinance of our home.

This is not the first time we've dealt with Mr. Duda. He belonged to another organization before HomePlus Mortgage when he helped us with our first refinance and we were very impressed. He later informed us that he was starting a new position with HomePlus Mortgage and to keep him in mind if we ever required his services. Well, we did have need of his services again and we did not hesitate to call him.

To take the time to inform his clients of his move proved to us that he was a self-starter and a hard worker. He proved that he wanted to help people and we felt confident that he would help us.

He went the extra mile for us, calling us to keep us informed of all events leading up to the closing of our loan and everything in between. He is very professional and extremely proficient. When we were concerned about certain aspects of the loan, he reassured us and explained to us the "how's" and the "why's"

I Can't say enough about this man! He made such an impression on my husband and me that we would not hesitate to recommend him to our friends and relatives.

You truly have a jewel in our company having Mr. Brian Duda in your employ. Keep up the good work and thank you for your time!

I'd like to take a moment to compliment one of your excellent loan officers, Mr. Brian Duda. From the beginning, Brian has been nothing but professional and has represented you and your company to the highest standards of excellence. We have been though other refinancing with other companies and we ‘ve always come away with some level of dissatisfaction with the service and attention received. This was NOT the case with Brian. He has made himself available to answer any concerns that we brought up and answered all of our assorted questions promptly and professionally.

We would not hesitate for a moment to contact Brian for any other refinancing or mortgage service that your company offers.

Great work and terrific customer service!

He has included us in every step of the process and has answered our questions competently, never steering us wrong.HomePlus' image continues to grow thanks to staff like Dan. Thanks for everything and we look forward to using HomePlus for all our home financial needs.

Dear Brian,

I would like to extend a very warm thank you for the outstanding service you provided our family.

I have 3 things to say about you and HomePlus Mortgage, courteous, accurate and all that knowledge you and HomePlus Mortgage had on handling our account to get us refinanced, along with a credit line which was very much needed for our future.

Your company did what took other mortgage companies could not do in 3 months . We were always told it can be done but with the other companies there was always a hurdle to jump over.

You and HomePlus Mortgage tackled everything put in front of the plate and dealt with it as if it was your own personal refinance in progress.

Again

Many thanks
Cheryl and Fred Marhoun


Dan Baily was the best broker I have ever worked with. I have done one loan and two lines of credit with him and he has worked his butt off every time. Believe Me: DAN IS THE MAN!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Mr. Pizzino,
I am writing to commend one of your Sales Managers, Neal Melton, for an exceptional job in handling my loan process as a first time home buyer. I honestly though the process would be time consuming, difficult to understand and lengthy at best from what I was told by friends and colleagues of their first time loan experiences.

I must say that the manner in which my loan was handled was beyond my hopes and expectations. Neal Melton was an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only was he friendly and courteous, especially when “customer service” seems to be a thing of the past, but more importantly I found him to be very informative and willing to take the time to help me understand the process of a first time home buyer. He was such a God Send and explained everything to my understanding and satisfaction. I know that he really worked hard on my loan and I am so very appreciative. This was a huge step in my life and I am so very grateful for all his hard work and creative efforts in making my loan possible and pleasant.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!!!!

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your assistance during our recent re-financing transaction. This is the fourth time we have financed or re-financed with Phil Pizzino and HomePlus Mortgage. I trust Phil to look out for our best interests and I am secure in the knowledge that he will get the deal closed in a professional and timely manner. My experience has shown and I am now confident that all I have to do is call Phil, let him know my requirements, and he will take care of everything from there.

Thanks again for another painless transaction.

Jennifer - you're the best! I need you to know that I appreciate everything that you have done for us in refinancing our home over the years.

I would like to commend Agent Dan Bailey on the selling of my condo. This was a very complex transaction in that the low owner occupancy rates and homeowners fees were higher than the market was charging. However, Dan was able to find us a qualified buyer as well as work with the lender to help ensure the transaction would go through, Dan was able to negotiate the highest sale in the history of the association. Having a person like Dan that is knowledgeable in real estate and mortgages is for sure an added benefit when qualifying an agent. I consider Dan a trusted friend who would do anything to make sure his client was happy. Not too many clients can say that about their agents.
Dave Meltzer


I would like to take a moment to let you know how much we appreciated working with Homeplus Mortgage, and specifically your agent, Dan Bailey. He was professional, courteous and attentive at efvery step of the way. His communication throughout the process made a very diffficult time very easy to deal with for my wife and I. I would not hesitate to recommend Dan and your company.

I am sure your company is doing very well if Dan is any indication of the level of service all your customers receive.
Mike Orzel


My wife and I would like to thank HomePlus Mortgage for a job well done in selling our house. Our agent, Dan Bailey, told us exactly what we should get for our house. The amount exceeded our expectations but being true to his word, which is also a testament to his knowledge of today's real estate market, we got the amount he said we should.

Dan is an honest, attentive and knowledgeable agent in an industry where those qualities are hard to come by. I felt so comfortable with the way he worked that I plan on using HomePlus for my loan for the purchase of my new home as well.

You are lucky to have an agent like Dan.
Jeff and Sheri King


Dan, since we are all done with the sale of my house, I wanted to send you my thanks. I wanted to thank you for your professionalism and attentiveness and mostly for your aggressiveness during the sale of my house. I am amazed at how quickly you were able to get buyers in to see the home and then how quickly (2 days) you sold the house(Above asking price!) after that. Most importantly - I felt very comfortable going on vacation during the house sale and leaving it all in your capable hands. I look forward to working with you in the future.
Nick Mirizzi


Just a brief note to express my appreciation for your help and professionalism during my recent real estate purchase. It was a pleasure to work with you because of your dedication and efficiency. Your availability and quick response to all my questions has been outstanding. I would be happy to be used as a reference to any business partner or prospective client because of the service I have received. Thank you.
Joel Robinson, MD


We wanted to let you know how happy we have been working with Dan Bailey. He put together our refinance a couple years ago, and now we are opening another line of equity. It is comforting to have a mortgage broker who looks out for our best interests and offers us the best options. We consider Dan a great friend.
Corey and Danielle Hale


I would like to thank you for your prompt, professional and friendly help with our refi. You were terrific, on top of everything and your advice was always right on target. It was a pleasure talking and doing business with you. Obviously we'll keep you in mind for future business. Thank you again for good advice and guidance.
Betty Evans


Thank you for you help on our home purchase. Yes, we are enjoying our house very much. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to you and Mr. Pizzino. We will be referring all our friends to HomePlus Mortgage. You make the American dream come true.
Jeff and Michelle Silvas


We cannot thank you enough for all your efforts obtaining a great refinance deal for our mortgage. We did our homework and looked all over the Web, we made many phone calls, and you had the best deal and best terms of all we found. Most places we contacted weren’t able to provide us with the terms we needed or the cash out we need for the remodel, but you came through for us in spades. We were then delighted to discover that you also are the best at following the deal through to completion. Thanks for promptly returning all our phone calls. Telling us where we stood and keeping us informed every step of the way kept our anxiety level at a low throughout the loan funding period. We really appreciated the service. I can and will recommend you to anyone who is looking for the right deal from a caring professional.
