"Mitch, meant to send this earlier in the week but have been quite busy.  Thanks for all you did for us in getting our mortgage set-up.  Things went smoothly and it was great that you caught the title insurance expense issue.
The lady at Universal mentioned how easy it was to work with you as well. She commented about that to everyone present and included that the rate was excellent as well. The move was tough but did get completed. Now Barb and I have a lot to do to unpack, arrange, re-arrange, etc. But your part made the process easier. We are appreciative of your efforts."

Wanted to thank you very much for your help with our refinance.

Brandon Hutchins and Lauren Smith-- Reisterstown, MD

"Thank you for your continued professionalism and wise counsel! You have been such a blessing for us in the last 2 yrs and we are grateful for your direction and attention to detail. We look forward to working with you again. If you come through Atlanta, please get in touch!"
Ellen Mathys and Robert Kirkcaldy

"I was in the process of searching for a service to help me re-finance.  I was in need because, I wanted to transition from an adjustable rate mortgage to fixed rate mortgage, and didn't want to work with who I had in the past.  Due to the great work Alex did for a friend, I was referred to him.  The process was rather lengthy, but Alex helped to speed it up as much as possible. 

Overall, my experience with Alex was phenomenal!  He was very knowledgeable in his field, very professional, and always had the right answer for every question I asked.  From this one experience, I referred his service to friends and I also knew that if I needed his help again, and I have, Alex would be and was my first and only option.  Thanks for all of your support, expertise, care and continued open offers to share with me your finance knowledge to help keep my credit and finances in order."
Happy Customer, Katina Norris--  Bowie, Maryland

 

     "Most people didn't want to help me get a mortgage. Being a
Foreign National, and buying a home in the U.S. was proving to be a difficult task. 
      As a professional athlete, I pride myself on being able to work under pressure and being dependable is a pre-requisite of the job... something which Alex and Choice Finance proved to be more than capable of.  Alex was and is very personable and helped me through every obstacle and actually enabled me to close ahead of time! Thanks again "

"I wanted to also, once again, pass along my sincere thanks for all of your assistance over the past couple of months.  Your knowledge of the various financing arrangements is very impressive and I was pleased that the closing went smoothly and without incident (at least with regard to the financing).  More importantly, though, I was very appreciative of your responsiveness, communication, and accessibility.  I’ve been working in client service for quite a long time and have learned that exceptional client service is much more than technical expertise – it’s about making every client feel like they are your most important client.  While I am certain that Stacy and I are far from your most important, I can honestly say that you made us feel like one.  I will certainly make sure to refer anyone I know who is need of financing your way."
Mark Chase -- Leesburg, Virginia

"Alex has been extremely helpful!"
Douglas and Jessica Ratay-- Rockville, Maryland

"Alex was very professional. He went above and beyond by coming to our house for personalized service."
Stephen and Linda Kelly -- Morton, Pennsylvania

"We contacted Alex and Choice Finance after our original lender dropped the ball and failed to deliver promised financing. We were working with a very difficult seller and Alex & Choice Finance was tasked with stepping into this broken deal and arranging financing on an expedited basis. Alex worked professionally and swiftly with everyone- our lawyer, the brokers - and did everything that was needed to ensure we could enjoy the American Dream of owning our own home. Our experience was simply remarkable and we recommend them both highly."
Suresh Raghavan -- Ashburn, Virginia

"A pleasure to work with!"
Thomas and Allyson Chiprowski-- Stafford, VA

"I highly recommend the services of Alex Echeandia to Visa holders and other non-permanent residents in the U.S. seeking financing for primary or second homes.  When two other institutions lacked the knowledge required, Alex did not hesitate to work with me to ensure a successful outcome.  He is knowledgeable, courteous and very professional- truly a pleasure to work with.  Thank you, Alex!"

Kostantinos and Maria Photonakis-- Aldie, Virginia

"Because of my husband's illness, I now had to take on the responsibility of our mortgage. Having used John in the past, he was the first person we thought about calling. Not only was he able to find a program to help us keep our home, he truly was concerned about our needs & wanting to help in any way he could. He also has explained the process in a way I could understand and feel confident that we could trust his recommendation."

"I used CFC both for my initial purchase and subsequently for refinancing. Both processes were almost too easy! Everything went so smoothly that I didn't do my part and do my own research. The staff I've dealt with are knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I have referred many people to CFC and hope they follow through. They will be happy they did!"
