The home I had listed for sale was in a time crunch & Michelle & her team delivered a clear to close way faster than I thought would be possible. That quickness helped us keep both deals together & lead to many happy sets of clients! Both transactions were in Crown Point, Indiana.

Wow, what can I say. My husband Marcus and I closed on a home last week and Michelle and her team were absolutely stunning! From the great communication, going above and beyond to understand our needs they made this process super simple. We were super nervous when we first started the process and had our doubts, but Michelle and her team reassured us and gained our trust. We look forward to doing business with you all in the future. They made being a first time home buyer a breeze! If you’re looking to buy these are your guys. I wish there were a million stars because they deserve that many! The process didn’t take long at all neither. I wish nothing but the best for you all, and will recommend family and friends your way.

I finished closing of my new home with the help of Michelle, Jamie, and Sherry in the office. Actually, they helped me from the beginning by issuing pre-approval letter, which helped us getting our offer accepted by the seller easier. While we were actively searching for the house, she provided me with tons of useful information regarding the home-buying process. When we got accepted with the offer, the loan process went through pretty quick and smooth, and closing was done on time without any issue. This was first time for me to buy a house, so I felt myself really ignorant with the whole process and what need to be done. They were patient and provided me with all the information that I have to know with very nice, kind, and patient manner. I greatly appreciate them, and will recommend them as a good mortgage lender. Thanks, Michelle, Jamie, and Sherry!

With this being my first time using a broker I was very nervous and wasn’t sure what to expect. Started my process during one of the busiest times of the year (the holiday weekend, school year ending, and summer vacation season in full effect) but Direct Mortgage Loan got the job done. Vibrant energy, solution oriented, and easy people to do business with. Despite how stressful RE transactions can be, Rebekah stood on business and got the job done. Love how she kept me in the loop and educated me along the way. From start to finish I had an excellent experience working with this team. Michelle, you are truly blessed to have such stellar team. Client contact 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Michelle, Anthony, Jamie, and Rebekah!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Thank you and your team for helping me.

had an excellent experience working with Michelle Jacinto on my mortgage approval From beginning, she made the entire process smooth, clear, and stress-free. Michelle was always available to answer my questions, explained everything in detail, and kept me updated every step of the way. What stood out most was her professionalism, patience, and genuine care for making sure I got the best loan option for my situation. The approval moved quickly, and I always felt confident that I was in good hands. I would highly recommend Michelle Jacinto at direct mortgage to anyone looking to buy or refinance a home.

It is always a pleasure working with Direct Mortgage! They have been my preferred lender for the past 5½ years, and there’s a reason I continue to recommend them to my clients, friends, family, and anyone looking for a lender. Most recently, Direct Mortgage referred a client to me who was looking to purchase a home. I’m extremely grateful that they trusted me with their referral and gave me the opportunity to help this family through such an important milestone. We were able to find them a home, get them through the entire process, and officially close last Friday! 🏡❤️ There was also a language barrier between my clients and the lending team, so being bilingual allowed me to help translate, explain things in Spanish, and make sure my clients understood what was happening throughout the process. Between Direct Mortgage staying on top of the loan and providing consistent updates and communication, and me helping guide the clients on the real estate side, we worked together as a team and got it done! I truly appreciate the communication, professionalism, and service Direct Mortgage continues to provide. They keep everyone updated throughout the transaction, which makes such a difference for both the clients and the agents involved. Thank you again for trusting me with your referral. I look forward to many more closings together! ❤️🏡🔑 Highly recommend Direct Mortgage!

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!

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!

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.

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!!!!
