"Working with Mike Murgatory, Peter D and team were terrific to work with- very professional and knowledgeable and a super experience. Pleasure to work with- having sold real estate myself for almost 20 years I can say that this team is fantastic! From beginning to the closing it went smoothly. I would recommend them to anyone."

"<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 />"

"Tracey was a master at helping me to maneuver transactions which would have been difficult and more expensive without her expertise. <br /> <br /> We were nervous about putting the house up for sale in a slow market and she reassured us that with proper pricing and preparation, we could sell, and we did.... twice!  Her experience and skill in negotiating both the contract and the results of the inspection saved me time, stress and thousands of dollars. <br /> <br /> She also patiently took me through many homes is West Hartford.  Her knowledge of the surrounding neighborhoods and schools was very helpful.  Tracey offered insight and perspectives to properties that I would not have considered. <br /> <br /> Now that I have moved, she has continued to help with referrals to stores, plumbers etc. <br /> <br /> She is a skilled agent who I strongly recommend to anyone willing to brave this difficult market."

"Ryan was very professional. He came out to my house on time and did a very detailed appraisal on my house that I was selling. I would highly reccomend usinf Star Quality Appraisals for any of your home appraisal needs. <br />"
