Direct Lending and Jay Fertman, in particular, get my highest recommendation. Jay was very responsive and always picked up their phone promptly; he was a pleasure to work with and answered every question they had. I shopped around quite a bit, and honestly, Jay was able to provide me with the lowest rates, monthly payments, and closing costs out of everyone. The level of service he provided, along with the highly competitive rates and fees, make Jay and Direct Lending an incredible value.

I'm a first-time homebuyer, and a coworker recommended Jay for my mortgage needs. From the very first round of phone calls and emails, Jay has gone above and beyond to help me understand the mortgage process and figure out the best options for my budget. Through his hours of research and calculations, we determined what price range I should be shopping for, and what I should expect to pay monthly and at closing. Jay also took a look at my credit reports, and helped me make a plan to pay down debt and boost my credit scores. A few weeks after following his advice, my lowest score has risen from 687 to 730!

Jay and Mario were the best part about the home buying process for me. Jay took every opportunity to explain the details of the mortgage to me and was always available to answer any questions I had. Jay got me an amazing rate (*much* lower than the national average) and even helped with general questions that I had about the home buying process. I cannot recommend these folks strongly enough!

Jay Fertman and his assistance Mario are fantastic to work with. One of my clients chose to use Jay and I have worked with Jay and Mario on a few real estate transactions now with this client. Their knowledge of the loan programs that best fit their clients financial needs and their focus to help them achieve their home purchase is what I value most about working with them. Mario is fantastic at expediting a loan application process and collecting what is needed to get this buyer to loan approval ASAP helps to get the buyer to the closing table fast and often early. I am always well informed throughout the transaction and greatly appreciate their communication. I highly recommend Jay Fertman and Mario to assist and support your lending needs.

Jay and Mario have helped me with a couple of mortgages and they have been super helpful each time. I feel like I got good rates, and they were patient with my questions and also with walking me through the limitations for my particular situation. When I reach out to them for initial quotes, they aren't pushy and they don't try to talk me into loans that are risky/inappropriate. Highly recommend!

Are you shopping for a lender to finance or re-finance your home loan? LOOK NO FURTHER! I have worked with Mario and Jay for several years and have closed loans (refinance) with them around six times for terms ranging from 10 years to 30 years. I shop around for loans and always find that their rates are the best in the market! Please do not go with the lenders that advertise on TV. I don't have anything against them, but their rates (and the cost of loan) aren't the best. I trust Mario and Jay. There are no hidden charges or surprises in the loan charges. Jay will be more than happy to walk you through the fee worksheet and explain all the items so you know what you are getting into. If you get a better deal elsewhere make sure you get the fee worksheet from the other lender and bring it to Jay and he will explain how the other lender is misleading you. I have experienced this. Mario and Jay both communicate well throughout the process and will answer any questions through the closing. To sum it up Direct Lending has the best rate in the market, is trustworthy, and Jay/Mario communicate well. I strongly recommend Direct Lending for your home financing or re-financing needs. Tell them Brian recommended! You won't go wrong!

Jay and Mario are the best in the business IMO. I have refinanced with them twice and each experience was great! Jay will spend as much time with you as needed explaining in detail all of your options down to each individual charge if necessary and will run multiple scenarios to share with you so you can make a solid, informed decision. And Mario then takes over helping you through the refinancing process with the same meticulous, professional manner taking time to help with any questions at most any time of day and guide you through each manageable step. Super awesome individuals who happen to make a wonderful team sincere in helping you.

*Repeat customer* Jay is absolutely amazing! He truly cares about his customers and excels at the whole lending process, and he has over 25 years of lending experience. He helps you understand the process every step of the way and helps makes sure you are not setting yourself up for failure by explaining in detail all the fees you will be encountering when you come to close, there will be no surprises! We feel like we found a hidden gem in the middle of a mountain of coal! Super lucky to have him on our side and God help anyone who submits a "generic" offer at the same time that Jay submitted an offer!!! Jay is amazing- detailed oriented- anyone with any experience will pick Jay's offer over any others because of how detailed he submits his offers. I honestly can't say enough about him.. Sadly the 2nd property he was helping us with turned out to be one he couldn't finance (commercial) but you would be super lucky to have him on your side!!!

I used Jay and Mario from Direct lending for both my purchase mortgage and only 10 months later to refinance to a better rate. Both times, their rates have been way better than any other company. One company got irate because the rate I got from Direct Lending was so much better that they couldn't compete. I've referred 2 friends to them and among us all, the mortgage process goes incredibly smoothly.
