This was an extremely smooth and quick loan. Sometimes the online portal was slightly confusing as far as needing to print and sign or just view things but no big deal and it didn't delay anything. Mark did a great job explaining things in advance and answering any questions I had. If I hear someone at work talking about a mortgage or refi I will give them your number and let them know how smooth my loan was.

Hi Julieanna, it was great to talk to you today! I am very pleased to explore a refinance at such a great rate and look forward to working with you.

Kathy B. - NC

Hi Victoria, We have had such an amazing experience so far with all of you at Reliance. The whole reason I chose to follow through with this refinance with Reliance was because of you and your ability to communicate with people. I had several companies calling everyday or sending me emails. You were the first to text me and say, "hey, I know you may be busy, but is there a time we might could talk when you're free and see if I might be able to help....I'll give you some scenarios and that way you can decide and make an informed decision." I mean....after days of pressured phone calls and me declining every single one....with one coming in at 7:30 am....I honestly was over this whole refinance idea until you sent that text. I thought finally, someone is gonna send a text and just ask and realizes that I have a job and cannot drop everything to answer multiple phone calls. So thank you Victoria....you have been amazing to say the least. Your personality is one of the most personable I've had the pleasure of dealing with and was impressive to say the least. You definitely are an asset in your business with your ability to communicate with people.

Kathleen M. - KY

Jazmine Marie Pintueles was wonderful to work with and made a nerve wracking decision as easy and pleasant as possible. Ed Bailey was also great to work with. The main reason I went with Reliance is because Jazmine was respectful of my busy work schedule and didn't continue to push me to get back with her. She honored my request to communicate via text and email when possible which I truly appreciated. That helped me make my final decision to go with Reliance and my husband and I are very happy that we did. I don't know of anyone currently but if/when I do hear of someone I will definitely recommend Jazmine and Reliance.

Wonderful Experience!!! I am extremely grateful for Regina Rupnik. She was amazing to work with. I can really tell she loves helping others achieve their dreams of home ownership. She was very knowledgeable on loan products and what works best for each customers unique situation. During my time as her customer she taught me so many things regarding credit and she was able to help me drastically improve my credit scores very quickly. Whenever I had questions she provided prompt customer services. In the future I plan on purchasing a second home and without hesitation she will be the person I call. Most loan officers I have dealt with in the past made me feel like a number and if my credit wasn't perfect I felt like my applications was tossed aside. My experience with Regina was the complete opposite. She truly is a star in her field of work and she really cares about her customers achieving their goals. I highly recommend Regina!

Mike P. - NY

I was nervous at first contacting someone to refinance my mortgage. I was at a very high interest rate and was looking for something lower. My credit was not bad but had a lot of medical bills in collections. I did a search online like most everyone does. I had a bunch of people call me. Most seemed pushy for my information and tried to get my SS number as fast as they could to start the process. After a couple calls, I received a call from Cassandra Welter from Reliance First Capital. She was the perfect person to talk to about my situation for my refi. She definitely had to do some work to get things done due to the medical bills, but she got it done. She was always calling with any information she had and always had a answer to all my questions. We closed with a great rate and a great feeling of not getting pushed into the whole process. She is the perfect person to work with.

Shirley and Ronald H. - TN

Jessica Powell went above and beyond. Always friendly and courteous and felt like family to us. And so helpful to explain things to us. Everyone we dealt with was so good to us. Very pleasant experience and so helpful. I want to thank you for working so hard and going above and beyond for us. I will never forget how smoothly and pleasant and quick the whole process was. I will highly recommend you and your company in the future. I actually cried to be able to pay things off and relax more. I am so thankful and blessed because of you and God.

It was good working with Steven. It was a pretty interesting experience Steve was great to work with. He was very helpful in some of my paperwork together.

Lynnette C. - NY

I would like to acknowledge the exceptional service that I received during the entire refinancing process. Pooja Bhardwaj professionalism and knowledge of the industry was impressive and truly appreciated. The first conversation I had with Poojah was genuine, she made me feel so comfortable. Discussing my financial needs and concerns about refinancing. It was a long process, only because I had some tax issues on my home. But Pooja never gave up on me, she worked tirelessly to handle the situation. I also remember while applying for a refinance I had lost my phone and Pooja took the time out to help me call my cell phone provider and track my phone. Pooja didn’t have to do that at all. I was also in the hospital for infection in my lungs, and she was willing to be of any of assistance necessary. At that moment I knew that Reliance would be the right choice for my refinance of my home. Pooja Bhardwaj is an exceptional mortgage broker. She kept me advised on every step of the mortgage process, explaining the reason for every obscure document requested from me. Her manner was always friendly, and she was always available to answer every question I had. Previously, I had gone directly to banks for my mortgage. I don't believe that I will ever do that again as long as Pooja is around to assist in the process. I will strongly recommend Pooja to my friends in the future, and I will be certain to use her the next time I require new financing. She is remarkable and a five-star broker, and any organization should be proud to have her working for them. Pooja is Amazing!!!

Barbara R. - FL

I am thankful for this learning experience. No other analyst has ever ever let me have some capital back. Thanks.

Matthew B. - NH

Working with Rachel worked out fine. She was patient and persistent and got the job done. She was helpful and responsive when glitches arose. Thank you Rachel!

Hampton P. - NY

I had attempted to refinance before with other companies, and paid for appraisals that ended up being for nothing. I was more than a little skeptical when I met Lance Kirshner, who told me a lot of the same I had heard from other Brokers, rates are good, save me money, get cash out etc. I have to tell you, this man is the real deal, worked hard, was always super fast to get back to me, and give it to me straight, we had a few complications (on our end) that he helped clear up for us, with incredible patience, professionalism, and grace. In the end he got us everything he promised and more, I couldn't be happier, and so long as he is in the business I will never need to look for a "mortgage guy" again, hes an absolute Pro.

Robert L. - PA

William and Ben hung in there and were very helpful.

Nanci L. - ME

Refinance Made Easy!!! I would recommend Ritu to all - she made my refinance so easy. A true gem to work with, extremely knowledgeable and a wonderful personality - I was swamped with work during Covid and she made sure this process closed quickly and efficiently. Seriously, I can’t thank her enough.

Estela C. - MI

I’m very happy with my overall experience with Stephen Sasso from the initial call through the closing process. Stephen was also great at explaining different loan options to best suit my needs. He also was responsive, even on days off, and helped keep me informed throughout the refinance process. If Stephen Sasso did not have an answer, he followed up promptly. Highly recommend working with Stephen on your loan!

Diane W. - OH

Everything went very fast and smooth.

Roxannie H. - GA

Ms. Taylor is a kind, efficient, effective professional. She helped me refinance my mortgage when other big companies turn me down. She gives me instructions and insights to help me reach my goals.

Kealey S. - PA

Alicia was kind, courteous and knowledgeable! Knowing her from previous days as a coworker. I knew how hard she worked for her clients and her dedication to her work, so I knew there was no one else I would want to handle my mortgage. She got me to the finish line with ease and it was the best process I could have imagined. Without her I wouldn’t have been able to purchase my first home on my own! I can’t thank her and Alex enough!!!!
