From beginning to end...we found the team capable and committed to delivering our family an excellent outcome - which they did! We needed to work through some complex issues, and the team always stayed ahead of them with suggestions and advice which kept the process moving. Great experience - highly recommend! Thank you!
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.
I worked with Robert and Devin. Both were extremely knowledgeable, thorough and responsive. I definitely recommend them and Carlyle Financial.
I recently closed on my first home working with Jesse Collins at Carlyle Financial.
As a first-time homeowner with ZERO knowledge, Jesse made my home-buying experience completely easy and stress-free! He was incredibly responsive and knowledgeable, gave great advice, and explained everything in such clear terms.
Jesse really went above and beyond to make things convenient and comfortable for me -- the entire process went perfectly smooth from start to finish, and he secured me a great rate.
I'd highly recommend him to anyone!
When no one else can help Carlyle Financial can! Finally managed to get my dream San Francisco place and then 8 months later we refinanced from 5.125% to 3.875% - rabbit out of the hat! Dedicated to ensuring they find something that works for you.
