This took me a year to jump aboard the accelerated banking program. I have been on it for 6 months and followed the plan which is working just the way it was planned. The group of coaches have never lead me down a wrong path. Thank you Kwak group for all the help you have gave me!

Success in obtaining long term finances
My experience has been really great. I have been successful in paying my house almost completely off. As a result i should be able to pay off my house by November of 2023. The Kwak Brothers have been successful in helping others purchase other properties. They provide useful information that other can be use to pay off their property and help them gain finances that will secure the finances for there family

I was somewhat skeptical at first, BUT they DELIVER!
I was somewhat skeptical at first, (March 2020 in the smack onset of Covid) after seeing the amazing results they propose to paying off my 28.5 year mortgage in just 7.5 years it sounds too good to be true. However, I did take the leap of faith and still went through my own numbers to see if it was truly possible. The math added up! After just 8 months we had paid down $90,000 of principle in our primary residence. In 12 months we were down to about a 5 year payoff after redirecting additional income to the strategy as well. Savings of over $200,000 in interest alone from the original mortgage! However, that was not the best part: their team's humanity and genuine concern to help families out of debt, their willingness to answer texts, emails, have 1 on 1 zoom sessions with you and hold your hand throughout the process giving you fresh perspective and guidance even through the obstacles that life may sometimes throw at ya, THAT, made all the difference for me! So much so that I continue to recommend and refer them to anyone I can. The genuine concern, solutions, follow through, and integrity you will get from this company, makes them the kind of company you just want to be a part of! The sales team will challenge you to take that leap of faith, their support team will hold your hand through, and the leaders vision and commitment to excellence and integrity keep this company at 5 stars for me and my family.

Thank you very much, Sam Kwak/Accelerated Banking
Sam Kwak called me personally to discuss the misunderstanding with my account. He is compassionate, professional and honest. We agreed that my current financial status isn’t a good fit for the program at this time. I greatly appreciate that Accelerated Banking has refunded my payment. I also appreciate that Sam called me when I know he didn't have to do so.

The Accelerated Banking Program is easy…
The Accelerated Banking Program is easy to follow and they support they provide along the way is exceptional. I recently closed my first lien HELOC and I'm ready to star applying the strategy in the hopes to be debt free in a fraction of years compared to the traditional mortgage. A great advantage is that they will have the strategy specialists ready to assist whenever you need guidance, plus the tools remain available till your goal is accomplished.

Don't trust this company to take your…
Don't trust this company to take your circumstances into consideration at all. Whatever they are, they only recommend one solution - the 1st position HELOC.
I am very close to retirement and their slick talking reps made it all sound so doable that I signed up. Now they won't refund me because I came to my senses and realized their solution would ruin me financially.

Dear Ellen, It is incredibly sad and unfortunate that you feel this way. However the outcome, we wish you all the best and hope that our paths will cross in better terms. However, this situation does warrant an explanation with accurate context and we would like to state our case for those reading this review.
First and foremost, our company - Accelerated Banking (a Kwak Brothers Company) offers financial consulting to help our valuable clients pay off their mortgage faster. Our methods are always legal, moral, and ethical. We take pride in the fact that our company is A+ rated on Better Business Bureau, and STILL rated 'Excellent' on this platform, Trustpilot.
We've been doing business since November 2015 with a long track record of success after success.
Second, Ms./Mrs. Dawson signed an agreement with us that makes our working relationship VERY clear. One of which, our clients agree to follow directions and suggestions made by our team in good faith. If the client does NOT achieve a promised milestone within 180 days, the client would receive 100% of their money back AFTER they have acted on our suggestions with good faith. Ms./Mrs. Dawson did not abide by this agreement.
More specifically, we had 3 individual consultants assess Ms./Mrs. Dawson's situation. (We typically have ONE consultant assess a client) In all three assesments, our team has arrived to a specific set of plans that , we believe, would benefit Ms./Mrs. Dawson. We make suggestions and recommendations solely based on the information that our clients provide. Based on our estimates, it was apparent that Ms./Mrs. Dawson would be able to pay off her mortgage in approximately 65 months (5 years and 5 months) using our methods. To protect Ms./Mrs. Dawson's financial information, we will omit other details.
In matters to the delivery of our service, our team has provided both timely and exceptional service to Ms./Mrs. Dawson. When Ms./Mrs. Dawson made an appointment, she did so a few days in advance. But When she demanded help immediately, we expedited her request by serving her on the day of the request without hesitation. Furthermore, one of our consultants even offered to meet Ms./Mrs. Dawson in person - drive an hour. Bear in mind, this consultant who offered this is 67 years old AND is one of our executive leadership to personally help her. Our consultant disregarded her own convenience AND safety to satisfy Ms./Mrs. Dawson's requests and demands. This is DEFINITELY not our protocol or our standards. But the fact that our consultants truly care about our clients should speak volumes to which how we did our best to serve Ms./Mrs. Dawson.
In multiple occasions, we've offered her both resource and knowledge for her to succeed in the method we've suggested. We do this by delivering a highly-detailed report that are custom tailored for her situation. There ARE components to our service where the client does have to either "sign-off" on documents and/or contact a vendor to initiate certain processes. We do our best to minimze the efforts required by our clients. However, Ms./Mrs. Dawson did not do her part in making sure she would achieve the results. Therefore, she has violated the agreement she signed by a.) not following our directions and suggestions in good faith; b.) disqualifying herself from the 180 day money back guarantee; and c.) threatening legal actions which constitutes as malicious behavior and therefore disqualifies for any refund as clearly stated in our agreement.
Overall, we SINCERELY hope and pray that Ms./Mrs. Dawson will do well. We do wish that she will prosper and retire with financial peace of mind. There is no doubt that we will welcome Ms./Mrs. Dawson back with open arms as long as she is willing to adopt a cooperative attitude. We extend grace and 2nd tries. However, our company abides by principles of honesty, respect, and integrity. Furthermore, our company MUST protect our own employees, agents, and vendors from harassment and 'bullying' from clients. We do not tolerate these behaviors from both clients and from our own team members.
We sincerely wish Ms./Mrs. Dawson well and prospers in her other endeavors.

Awesome Experience!
I started the process with the Kwak Brothers a year ago. I was looking online for a group that would teach and that I would have access to them if had questions and needed hand holding. I am new to real estate investing and have always had a desire but was too afraid to move forward due to a lack of knowledge and lack confidence. The last company I paid money to was not what I expected and I ended up losing money and time. I was skeptical but decided I would try one more time. I found the Kwak brothers online and they seemed to be talking the talk and walking the walk. I ended up joining and it has been a powerful experience thus far. Sam answers the questions via email and Facebook he is awesome along with everyone who is a part of the team. He has some experienced and knowledgeable professionals working with him and I appreciate that, I have taken advantage of the weekly zoom calls and email and I can text or phone if I need assistance which is absolutely a positive in my book. I have been working with Mikkei one on one to close on a HELOC. I was turned down by one bank but he worked diligently on my behalf to find another bank that would work with me and my situation. They also consult with each other to find the best bank according to your needs. They are honest, encouraging, and will not put you in a situation that is not best for you. I am close to retirement and have been making so many financial mistakes and I wish I knew about the Kwak brothers and all this information 10 to 15 years ago. Now is my time and it's never too late, I am 55+ in age and I have to remind myself that I can do this with their help, I have the desire.
Grateful for the Kwak Brothers Team!
