I've purchased two homes with Carlyle financial. The first was a triplex investment. I was told by multiple people that myself and my mom couldn't get a loan on a $1.6 million investment unless we put down 40%. Robert was the only person who was able to find us a loan and not only that, got it for about 1% less than we were expecting with putting down 30%. Because of this, when I moved I went immediately to Carlyle. I was able to get a loan quickly and their method of dragging files into a website was sooooo much easier than emailing them all as I have had to do in the past. I couldn't recommend them more.
Carlyle Financial is fantastic. Robert made the loan process so easy and painless. I was working with a couple different brokers that all made promises but only Carlyle Financial delivered. Robert got me a $3.2MM home loan when all others said I only qualified for less than a million. I recommend him to all my friends and family.
We had a wonderful experience with Carlyle Financial from start to finish! Robert was extremely knowledgeable and able to move the process along very quickly for us. We highly recommend Carlyle Financial!
Robert and Devin provided outstanding service and guidance throughout the entire refinance process. I would highly recommend this team.
The refinance process was quick with faster than expected turnaround times at different stages of processing. Robert and Katheryn were the team I worked with and had a great experience. On the document submission, I worked mostly with Katheryn she did a good job of keeping me informed of requests and submissions and feedback from Underwriting. Extremely well organized team with an excellent pre-screen process they will let you know if it can go ahead or not based on preliminary data and keep their commitment from there on.
The best part is they accept RSU income which is a problem with many banks. The rate is also lower than what you can get with most online applications. Will definitely recommend them to everyone looking for a new mortgage or a refinance.
