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!
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.
Just closed on my new house and I couldn’t have done it without the people at Carlyle Financial. They made the process so easy and not to mention fast. We closed 3 days early!! What I liked most about them is that they were organized and they always kept me in the loop with whatever was going on. Thanks again guys!
I refinance often so I have a good understanding of what it takes to get things done. Robert and his team were fast, efficient, and got me the best possible rate around.
Robert and all the staff were extremely polite and efficient. The eSigning and document uploading processes made everything very easy and secure, and Robert really knows his jumbo loan products. Carlyle Financial has earned another new loyal customer!
