Testimonials

I had lost some equity in my home over the last few years, and I wasn't sure if I could even get a new loan. Paul walked me through my different options, and was constantly in contact with me throughout the process.Even when the appraisal didn't go through how we wanted, Paul wasn't phased and we went to "Plan B". He lowered my rate with no money out of my pocket, and made what could have been an uncomfortable, expensive process relatively painless.I can't thank him enough for all of his hard work. He did what a lot of other lenders weren't willing or able to do. Thanks, Paul.

First time we did business I was questioning the transaction, but Mark V said he would call us when rates dropped and 2 years later he called and he has done an exceptional job on our refinance. He has kept us informed along the whole way and has been very helpful in our questions and very quick response. I am currently recommended him to others and will continue to do so. Thank you for having a great employee. Terry and Sheila

From the beginning, (7 years ago), Paul Ben Ezra made a bridge loan possible when banks told us "no", and made refinancing possible by carefully reviewing our case and finding the possibility.
