“[H]e stayed on top of everything and continued fighting to get it across the finish line. He was responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about the outcome.”

Kevin Gillis was absolutely incredible throughout this entire process. This was not the easiest closing, and there were plenty of unexpected delays and stressful moments along the way, but Kevin stayed on top of everything and continued fighting to get it across the finish line. He was responsive, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about the outcome. I never felt like I was just another transaction to him. He helped me navigate a complicated situation and ultimately helped me get into my new home. I truly can’t thank Kevin enough for everything he did. If you’re looking for someone who will actually stand by you through the entire process, I highly recommend him. Five stars without hesitation.

Exceptional. Kevin and his team (Cayleigh and others) were wonderful to work with on securing a mortgage for our condo. Kevin knows what he's doing when it comes to securing a good rate and is extremely communicative - texting with updates and responding right away to any questions. Made closing on our home a breaze. Thank you for all your help, Kevin and co!

“Kevin, Erik, and the team went above and beyond to make our first home purchase a reality. They immediately responded, were proactive, and enabled us to have the fastest closing.”

Kevin, Erik, and the team went above and beyond to make our first home purchase a reality. From my first inquiry they immediately responded and were proactive. They answered every small request and call, every question, and enabled us to have the fastest closing possible (just over 2 weeks!!!). They also were resources for more than just the loan as we thought about other factors beyond the home in our overall financial picture. Would recommend working with Kevin 100%

Kevin went above and beyond to help me through the loan process. From start to finish, he was incredibly professional, patient, and knowledgeable. He made everything feel less overwhelming and was always available whenever I had questions, he kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I understood everything clearly. No matter how many questions I had, he took the time to answer them with care and never made me feel rushed, he is genuine and easy to work with. I truly felt supported throughout the entire process.I highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated loan officer!

“Kevin Gillis reached out to let us know, things take time and everything is going according to schedule and put us at ease.”

Timely responses. They were able to accommodate a 3 week close. The online web experience as far as uploading documents and having everything available was great. There was also informational guide to the closing process which explained it all in detail. My fiancé and I are anxious people and Kevin Gillis reached out to let us know, things take time and everything is going according to schedule and put us at ease. Clear communication, and the digital experience was simple.
