Working with Michelle Jacinto and her team has been an absolute pleasure. From our first meeting she was welcoming, knowledgeable, patient, and kind. Michelle held my hand through every step of the home buying process, making what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless and manageable. Her expertise and dedication truly set her apart. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone seeking a mortgage broker who genuinely cares about her clients and makes the journey to homeownership a positive one.

Michelle and her team could not have made our first home purchase any more seamless. I don’t understand any “financial” jargon and she made things so clear for my husband and I. She was so patient with us and her communication was amazing! I will use her again if we choose to move and will 1000% be recommending her to all my friends out in NWI! Thanks Michelle 🙂

I am so grateful for Michelle Jacinto and her team making my loan process and new home 🏡 buying appear seamless. I was always kept in the loop as to what was going on. My loan process began in early July. By the end of September I closed on my new home. I am a 2nd time homebuyer. I didn't experience half the headaches and stress with Michelle and Direct Mortgage that I did with my 1st purchase. They truly exceeded my expectations.

As a realtor I have worked with a lot of different lenders. And who your lender is, is just as important as the offer you write. And in my humble opinion The Michelle Jacinto Team at Direct Mortgage Loans is the best lender in the business hands down. Their professionalism, efficiency and communication is second to none. They keep everyone involved up to speed with the process, and more times than not we close earlier than the contractual date on the purchase agreement. So if you want to go home shopping with the utmost confidence then give The Michelle Jacinto Team at Direct Mortgage Loans a call today!

Rebekah Graham and the whole Michelle Jacinto Team were amazing to work with. Both my husband and I recieved personalized service and were kept informed of all the necessary steps that made the process easy and smooth in the required timeframe. This all hands on deck approach allowed us to be able to complete the process and close on our next chapter home within the time expected and the interest rate we wanted. We know we will use Direct Morgage Loan again.Without question DML is a top rate mortgage provider with an extremly competent and compassionate team!

If I was limited to one word it would be EFFICIENT. But one word could never describe the absolutely effortless experience we had through the whole process. If ANYTHING could possibly go wrong it's already been thought of and there is a plan for it. Cannot say enough good things about the Michelle Jacinto and her team.

What an awesome group to work with! As Clients they made us feel part of the family. The process of buying a home can be very stressful but with the Direct mortgage group all the steps were explained and made easy. 100% would recommend Direct Mortgage group for buying a home or refinacing.

Michelle helped me purchase my first home in March 2022, which is now my first investment property. The app that Direct Mortgage offers has absolutely everything there that you need to know about the status of your loan and anything that is needed from you. I received weekly updates from my processor, and if anything changed throughout the process, Michelle always called me to review and make sure I understood. I 100% recommend her team that goes above and beyond.

This is by far the most seamless,explicit, timely and hassle-free experience any first time home owner would want to go through at Direct Mortgage Loans. Michelle and her team, Arnie, Mary, Ms. Graham all put together a single video presentation to understand every step of home purchase. It was very fast, and total time to closing was less then 3 months. This team worked tirelessly to ensure I became a home owner even when I thought I could not with the high rates these past few months!...I m happy with my overall experience and will be referring family, friends, colleagues their way.....Strong work guys!!!!THANK YOU TEAM DML.

Michelle and her team were absolutely flawless throughout the home buying process. We worked with several of her team members, including Sherry and Mary, and were consistently impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, and speediness. Everyone was an absolute delight to work with and made the process much more manageable and enjoyable during a time that was stressful for us. They went above and behind and we are grateful they were with us every step of the way.

By far the best and most efficient way to get a morgage!! Being local and never having to step foot in the office made this experience phenomenal! Michelle and her team is by far the friendliest and most of all they always kept us informed. Also they have an app!! Thanks again!!

Simply the best lender! Always attentive, very knowledgeable and professional! Her team and Michelle herself will do everything in their power to get you a loan. I love her e-newsletters. Very informative. I will always be grateful for her help. For getting us into our first home and for that, I always recommend her services to my friends and colleagues.
