I don’t know how else to put this… THESE people know ALL the moves. Over the many years I’ve been an accountant, I’ve worked with many mortgage brokers. This team is BY FAR, the BEST I’ve worked with.Bruce Davenport & David Otero really changed my outlook on what it is brokers do. I was able to get quick hard money for 2 projects in the same week. Phenomenal.

Lending Bankers Mortgage (Danny Perez and David Otero) was recommended by RPM Luxe Realty. From day one, Danny made me feel comfortable. I went through the pre-approval, approval, clearing to close, etc. processes with Danny figuratively holding my hand the entire time. There were times when I was literally crying because I was so frustrated and scared and Danny made me feel like everything would be okay. In general, I think RPM Luxe and Lending Bankers Mortgage make a great team. Danny is very relaxed and I’m not sure that he ever feels stressed, which is something unfamiliar to me. I think it’s because he has been doing this for quite some time.Additionally, Danny treats his clients like family. If anything is wrong, Danny takes it personally as though it was his own personal situation.If you are looking for 24/7 concierge service, Danny and David are your guys. After the Thanksgiving holiday, Danny was inflight and texting and emailing the entire time. I was grateful that American Airlines’ Wi-Fi was working so well.
