I have had the pleasure of working with John and his team for two separate mortgages within a relatively short period. In both instances, they exceeded expectations in terms of service and efficiency. The entire process was seamless, with quick closures and no delays, all handled with the utmost professionalism. Additionally, John and his team have consistently reached out to keep me informed about current rates and potential refinancing opportunities.
As both a veteran and a first responder, I have found their support and understanding to be exceptional. Their commitment to providing user-friendly, reliable, and tailored mortgage solutions is unmatched. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of mortgage assistance – you won’t go wrong with their expertise and dedication. J.J. FPD (retired), USAF (Veteran)

John and his team have a passion to help people in general but also has taken on a specific goal to help first responders. The process to work with this group was very easy and professional at all times! As a first responder I am very grateful for John and his team.

Although I haven’t personally closed a transaction with John, I’ve had the opportunity to get to know him professionally—and I can confidently say he’s a stand-up guy. John is knowledgeable, reliable, and carries himself with a high level of integrity. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to clients or colleagues looking for a trustworthy mortgage professional. His reputation in the industry is solid, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about doing right by the people he works with.

John Pawelski provides stellar service as a lender, as he was super responsive & the loan process went super quick! I have personally witnessed John go above & beyond...(the way he handled a major snag just before closing).

John and his team are at the top of my list for lender referrals to my clients. They have assisted countless clients with closing their real estate deals and each time has been seamless! They also handled my personal home purchase that was in the millions which shows their wide range of ability. I would not hesitate to allow John and team to handle of our mortgage needs. It’s like you’re dealing with family to be honest.
