Swift Financial Power

This is my third refi with Lending Buddy. The process continues to be swift and error free. Steve Arniotes and I spoke on September 16, 2025 and the loan was finalized on September 26, 2025.Ten days...now that is the full process for a 2 percent reduction in my interest rate for a 15 year term. I have been completely spoiled by straightforward dedication from a company with constant contact throughout the 10 day process. All the finance jargon was explained and I now consider myself an informed confident consumer. It will take a whale of a deal to cut my loyalty to Lending Buddy.I was courted by another outstanding company, but they fell short on many of the loan terms and costs associated with my particular situation. They just could not or should I say would not match the deal Lending Buddy put forward.I am completely satisfied with all aspects of my new loan from Lending Buddy; I can see the light at the end of the debt tunnel and it is clearly bright.

Shawn D. is a wizard.

You expect your loan officer to be professional and knowledgeable of his company and the market in which it operates. What you cannot expect is Shawn D. Professional and knowledgeable doesn’t even scratch the surface. He listens. He understands. He pursues your best interest relentlessly and without deterrence. Whatever comes up, he has an answer to deal with it. I had a very complicated circumstance. Shawn conquered every obstacle as it appeared. I could speak to him any time I wanted and he was always at the ready with options. I just can’t say enough about Shawn. If you’re lucky enough to get him as your loan officer, you are very lucky indeed.

Excellent customer service

The entire refinance process was handled in a very professional manner. The broker, Shawn Dumov was easy to work with and kept us updated on the status of the refinance. Having done refinances in the past, we've never had one that closed escrow so quickly. Would use again!

Jean Paul Wilhelm went above and beyond…

Jean Paul Wilhelm went above and beyond during our process with Lending Buddy, offering exceptional help and unwavering support every step of the way. His professionalism, dedication, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful experience smooth and enjoyable. He was always patient, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable, addressing every question and concern with confidence and clarity.We cannot recommend Jean Paul and his wonderful team (mainly Danielle Mannavong) highly enough; his stellar service deserves all the praise! If you're in need of assistance, we wholeheartedly encourage you to contact him—you won't regret it. We've already shared our positive experience with friends and family and will continue to spread the word about his outstanding support. Thank you, Jean Paul! Your efforts made all the difference and we look forward to continue working with you!

Steven S

Steven S. Was our main loan officer after taking over for our first loan officer. Steven did his absolute best to make sure my wife and i were satisfied throughout the whole process. His communication was top tier and the team he was working with was just as great. I can't imagine the time they spent when off the phone with us, but they definitely put in work and jumped through hoops to satisfy our requests. We will 1000% be working with them in the future and would recommend them to any and everyone looking to refinance or access equity. Thank you Steven and the whole team involved. Bryan S.

DIFFICULT AND FRUSTRATING!

DIFFICULT AND FRUSTRATING!But to our agent's credit, he would not let this go until he had pursued every twist and turn and obstacle that the Underwriters threw at him! I was in the Real Estate business for over 10 years myself and I have worked with a lot of Mortgage Brokers for my customers and for myself and STEVEN SINGOTIKO stands heads above them all! He just would not quit! I just knew this loan was never going to close and he kept reassuring me that he "would get this over the finish line" and he did! He is the only broker in my adult life that cared enough to check out my VA status and find out that my loan privileges had been fully restored. And right at the end of this difficult and frustrating process, he was able to sweeten the deal with a 1/4 point reduction in the quoted rate. My wife and I were able to clear up a large amount in accumulated CC debt that was costing us a ton of money every year and get some cash out besides! Randall and Mary Jane Gibbons

I had the best experience…

I had the best experience and pleasure of working with Jean Paul and Danielle. My loan was not the easiest process for me. Being completely stressed throughout, Jean Paul and Danielle always encouraged me that things were "normal" I think I may have made them work hard for this one, but they did it with a smile and encouragement. I am so appreciative of the kindness and professionalism from this stellar team. They were thoughtful in every aspect down to the times to call and not call being in different time zones and me being a graveyard worker. I never had to play phone tag. I never felt like just another phone call, I felt more like a good friend or neighbor. Thank you Jean Paul (and Danielle) for your help and guidance through the process. I will highly recommend your company any day!

Seamless and Transparent

Our refi was seamless and transparent, the way it should be but isn’t typically the case with other lenders we have used. Finally found our forever lender for both our properties with more to come. Will absolutely recommend your company to others. Great work and thanks again!!!

Blind customer

Blind customer, he wants to screw the blind!! He would do the same to your motherI’m close to totally blind & have issues since I almost died from a brain tumor.Jeanpaul was rude & inconsiderate he• Told me all the costs were close to nothing, they were about $3,000 which would take 5 years to break even• Told me he was doing a soft hit on my credit scores it was hard that dropped my FICA scores 4 points• Was going to call me back that day to go over options, never did• He sent me a form to sign but he knew because of my vision I need to know everything to know if it is what I wantedIf you use them, you say it’s ok to take advantage of the blind
