Even on Sundays I was able to communicate with my loan originator if I had any concerns. Once again thank You Zev Lewinson and Michelle singer for your support throughout this difficult to do loan during the corona virus crisis. Even working at limited capacity it was mostly seamless. I will definitively do business with this company again and will refer others."

"I’ve done many loans in my life, on many properties, and I’ve never met anyone like Zev Lewinson. His wisdom, knowledge, advice, and mortgage expertise have had an incredible effect on my life and finances. He is the most honest and dedicated individual I’ve ever met. The only time I can’t reach him is on Saturday. But he’s certainly entitled to a day of rest. I’m amazed at how quickly he answers his phone, even when he can only quickly say, “I’ll call you back in five!” And he always does. He also includes me in all his emails so that I always know exactly where my loan is up to. I can’t give this gentleman enough stars because he is truly a superstar mortgage advisor."
