Dean Fiore was incredibly responsive and made sure we had all of the information we needed to make good decisions throughout the pre-approval and escrow process. He made us feel comfortable and never under pressure. Highly recommend.

They were very knowledgeable and professional. They were easy to work with and got the loan approved in no time.

We had a wonderful experience working with the people whom we interacted with during the entire process.They provided the best competitive rates on mortgage.The process is very quick, seamless and were able to close the house in about a month.

I had a situation with the real estate agent pushing me to go with his preferred lender who turned out to be not a direct lender but merely a broker who was going to charge me thousands of dollars and probably a built-in favor for the real estate agent. I was referred to Real Genius through a trusted connection and had multiple calls in 2-3 days to understand the lending process, get comfortable with the timing of closing, things needed of me, and overall just very open, transparent communication. I don't think it could have gotten any better. I would recommend it again and again.

I had a great experience. I was able to obtain a low interest rate and low closing cost. Competitors could not match the interest rate I obtained. Not only did I obtain a low interest rate, I worked with Elyse who did a wonderful job explaining the process to me as a first time home buyer. She kept me informed through the whole process and was even able to get me a pre-qualified letter within 24 hours on a weekend at minimum notice, whereas other lenders I talked responded days later after my offer was to the home was accepted. The only negative with Real Genius for me was that the underwriter did not work on the weekends and didn't communicate well with my realtor. After receiving my loan estimate on Friday, I had to wait until Monday to recieve the closing disclosure which delayed closing by a day for me. Fortunately, the seller agreed to push the closing day by one day without any penalties. My realtor complained about communication with the underwriter and stated the amount of requested paperwork from Real Genius wasn't typical compared to other lenders. Note, the underwriter communicated with me well, just not the realtor. Despite, my realtors' negative opinion. I saved tens of thousands of dollars with the better rate, which to me is worth the slight delay and inconvenience of the closing day being pushed back. So, overall, I highly recommend Real Genius. Be sure to understand the availability of your underwriter.

I had a fantastic experience with Real Genius. As a single, first-time homebuyer working an average of four - 12 hour shifts during the work week and well into overtime on weekends, the home-buying process was overwhelming. Thankfully I found Real Genius with Dean Fiore to assist me. He made himself accessible through multiple modes of communication while I was at work. Dean even made himself accessible outside working hours to ensure all questions were answered and every step of the process was understood when I finally had time to focus on how to proceed. During offerings, Dean worked directly with my realtor while I was wrapped up at work to make sure everything was moving as it should for the VA loan's requirements. Under processing, John Capone coordinated with Dean to adapt to my unruly schedule. John and Dean coordinated with me flawlessly to ensure everything was submitted and wrapped up in a beautiful bow came closing date. I cannot thank Dean and John enough... It was a true team coordinated effort and experience. If you work a busy career, Real Genius will adapt to you to ensure buying a home is actually understood and possible!
