"George called me as soon as I put a request in for my project. He accommodated my request to come early as I was requesting the appraisal as soon as possible because I was rushed. It requried a significant amount of effort to reach him. I personally was never able to call and talk to him. I had to call Angis List to get him to reply. He is a very good person, he did the job well, but lacked in communication. If I had time, I would definitely hire him again. If I dont have time, it would be difficult to work with him. He is a very affordable and reasonable person."

"<strong>The good:</strong> <br /> Initial conversation went well; fair fees and competitive rates.  Broker was responsive and eager to proceed with the loan (called me a couple times even after I told him I'd get back in a few hours - hey eagerness is ok with me).  <br /> <strong>The Bad:</strong> <br /> After signing the commitment papers and paid for rate-lock/appraisal, getting a call back was non-existent (always says he's busy).  To be fair the broker was usually available when I called <br /> <strong>The Ugly:</strong> <br /> The biggest issues is that AFMC uses Springhouse Appraisals (an aggregator who makes money on the difference between what you pay and how low they can pay their appraisers).  Their business model depends on how low they can spend on subcontractor appraisers - so how much experience do you think their hires have?  My appraiser was SHADY.  Suppose to be Philly based (first question I asked my broker) but his business address is a 3rd floor apartment that was on the rental market.  His cell number is Jersey based and he missed a comp property on the next block but picked one up that's half mile away (too far in Philly).  Needless to say it was LOW!!  I don't mean a little under but laughing-on-the-floor low.  At that point to pull out of the deal means losing $1250 (rate lock & appraisal fee) so AFMC would not care.  My broker wasn't helpful even though I showed him the sold property on the next block.  (he said he'll talk to his boss but ended up not calling back).  <br /> <strong>Bottom Line:</strong> <br /> I made a mistake by not using my regular mortgage guy (he had too many projects and wanted me to wait).  My recommendation is to use someone else if you live in Philly and need a high appraisal.  I think Jersey would be ok with this company.  Otherwise they provide competitive rates and have lower than average fees with competent mortgage brokers on staff - when you can get a hold of them. <br />"

"My wife and I could not be happier with Lara. She was absolutely amazing. We just moved into our new home in Montclair because of the hard work and dedication of Lara. She is very professional, thorough and truly cares about her clients. She was available day and night to answer our crazy questions, kept in touch through every part of the closing process and was dedicated to the mission of finding our new home. She has a big picture view of not only Montclair, but of all its surrounding areas. If you are looking for a realtor, we could not recommend anyone better than Lara."
