Robert Cohan and his team made the refi process easy; well at least manageable. THEY ARE AMAZING. Highly recommend.
I'm extremely impressed with Robert and his team. They took the time to listen carefully and worked to put me in the best position for a new home loan. The turnaround for responses to all my questions was very short. His availability was incredible; they were even open to calls after business hours which was more convenient for me. I highly recommend them to anyone.

I had a million questions and he was able to go through them one by one, going over pros and cons. Great Service and Knowledge. Well recommended.
Robert and the Carlyle make the financing process understandable. They help you overcome any issues, they explain what's going on, they are very patient throughout the whole process. They truly are on your team.
