WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
We were really impressed with Anthony. With all the wrinkles in the process, there was nothing he hadn’t seen or dealt with multiple times before. He was able to calm [our] nerves and had the ability to get this all done. Anthony was aware of issues that our mortgage broker wasn’t aware of.
