I highly recommend Steve Vella if you're looking to finance a real estate purchase or refinance property. He and his staff are wonderful to work with and technically expert/ efficient but what makes Steve special is that he truly cares about making the transaction successful and achieving the highest levels of customer satisfaction and professionalism for his clients. Steve was critical in helping me to manage a difficult 1031 exchange and handled every question, roadblock, or problem with the same calm and sure approach. He's a great team member and I'll be a committed client from now on.

From the day we started conversation, Steve had been a guide and mentor for the whole process. He was on top of the process on a day-by-day basis and helped us understand each step and kept us informed. His team was super-efficient in getting the documents in the right place and was available for consultation anytime of the day, even after dinner. Thank you, Steve, for all you did for us. Really appreciate your effort to make the process smooth for us. Thank you.

Steve went above and beyond in providing support through all aspects of the home purchase and financing processes. Steve took the time to explain the financing and home purchases processes, including aspects that didn't apply specifically to the financing portion (e.g. title-related questions, insurance, and so on). Steve's professionalism, transparency, and communication made us feel as if we were always
in good hands, which is so important during such a monumental (and potentially stressful) process. We'd recommend Steve and his team to anyone looking for great rates, attention to detail, hands-on support, and professionalism.

We were first time home buyers, and Steve and his team provided lending for our purchase. Steve was not only able to provide us with a great rate for our financing, but he was also so thorough and transparent with every aspect of the process. Whether reviewing an estimated loan disclosure line by line, explaining the overall process, or outlining the next steps for us to take, we always felt in such good hands. Steve and his
team were so responsive, clear, and concise, and ultimately made a complex process quite enjoyable!

Steve and his team, including Lauren, were terrific partners throughout this process. They were very communicative and accommodated lots of coordination needs that arose. Steve approaches the partnership with transparency and integrity which is crucial. Lastly, they're simply enjoyable to work with: warm, understanding and genuinely interested in ushering you through the process.

My wife and I recently bought a home and discussed loan options with a few different lenders. The moment we spoke to Steve, we knew we had found our guy.
Steve, and his outstanding team were extremely helpful in assisting us to navigate the complex process of buying a home. There was so much to figure out and so many questions that came up. Steve was always just a quick phone call away and had all the answers to ease our minds. If we ever move, we will definitely be using him again and will also be recommending him to friends!

Steven is extremely knowledgeable and helpful through what can be an intimidating process. He
explains each step and makes you feel at ease and confident. He also got us a way better rate

Steve walked me through the entire process and explained each step thoroughly. I haven't
moved in over 29 years and Steve made this process seamless and transparent with regards to
funding my new forever home. Steve and his team did an excellent job in communicating with
me on every step of the process. I highly recommend Steve and his team.
