Kirsten Levin, the Senior Loan Officer at Landmark Mortgage Capital provided excellent customer service, and we truly trusted her knowledge, skills, and expertise to qualify us for a new home loan. We chose Landmark Mortgage Capital because of several reasons. Kirsten does everything with respect, right from the beginning, from the interview and gathering information to explaining the process of refinancing. She walked me through the entire process, making sure that we understand what the refinance process entails. She gets back to me to report and she showed that we are her priority. I appreciated Kirsten’s transparency with data and her great analytical information skills. She always welcomed and encouraged questions, explained all details especially numbers and figures. It is evident that she is passionate at what she does, and she does her research very well. I also loved Kirsten’s time management skills. She values our time as customers and helps us to prioritize items needed to move our loan forward.I am truly impressed with Kirsten and Landmark Mortgage Capital’s excellent customer service. Kirsten is very organized and keeps up with the planned schedule, reminding us about any paperwork needed and when it’s due. She did not put any pressure on us, and we truly learned a lot from this experience.Looking for a loan officer is not easy at this pandemic time, but we believe that blessings come, and we found an honest person to guide us through the process who not only helped us get the best loan and rate but also educated both my husband and I along the way.From the very first step until the end, she did her best to make us happy and satisfied with the outcome. We were able to get the low interest rate and this loan was closed at an early time because of Kirsten. The loan processor, Cheryl Gerrish, worked above and beyond the call of duty to ensure our loan gets funded fast and correctly. She had to deal with lots of speedbumps along the way, but with her knowledge, expertise, and hard work she was able to get our loan through to funding.We were very impressed with Kirsten and Cheryl for finishing our loan early! Thank you to both of you and more power to Landmark Mortgage Capital. To Mr. Michael Stephen Timoschuck, the President of this great mortgage company, we want to thank you for having Kirsten as a part of your team! They helped us get a better mortgage rate and helped make our life easier with our lower monthly payment. We salute the excellent customer service overall especially to Kirsten Levin and Cheryl Gerrish! We are very proud and happy about this new loan! We highly recommend you to our relatives and friends and to all readers of this review. We’ll be happy to have you again for future loan plans!Blessings to Kirsten and Cheryl and their team!Aurelia and Eleuterio

When my mother passed away, I needed help in dealing with and finding a loan to pay off a reverse mortgage she had in place. My situation was rather complicated due to debt to income issues, but having very good creditKirsten Levin helped me out immensely by advising which debts that needed to be paid off and which copies of various statements as well as legal paperwork pertaining to the reverse mortgage, my mother's trust, will, etc. Kirsten Levin's knowledge of not only conventional home loans, but of getting out of a reverse mortgage situation was very beneficial and made things much easier and put my mind at ease.With her Kirsten Levin's help, my debt to income ratio issue was resolved (not many mortgage brokers would have the patience to advise me) rather quickly and I was approved for a mortgage at a very reasonable rate.Kirsten Levin made me feel as I was her only client and always kept me abreast of the loan process. Kirsten Levin truly cares about her clients and goes over and beyond with her service!December 2020 Update:Kirsten Levin called me in October to inform me that it was a good time to refinance. She provided the information on the options available to me (straight refinance, refinance with cash out, 15 year, 30 year, etc.). I opted for just a refinance with no cash out which was best for my situation. The process was very simple. I locked into a rate that was 1.25% less than the original refinance I had in the spring and it funded quickly.Kirsten Levin is true to her word and the teamwork she has with underwriter, Lori Sharon is phenomenal. Both are quite knowledgeable of different types of mortgages, the paperwork needed, and communicating on a regular basis as to which stage things are from the approval stage to the funding stage.I really recommend Kirsten and Lori to help anyone who is shopping for a mortgage or refinance. They won't steer anyone wrong.Kirsten Levin and Lori Sharon, thank you for everything!

Maria Esparza, a Mortgage Banker from Landmark Mortgage Capital, helped me on a refi recently. Throughout the process, she was very friendly, courteous and helpful. She provided proper guidance with professional opinions and got me an excellent rate. She made the refi process easy and smooth making the transition very successful without cumbersome in less than a month. Overall, the service Maria Esparza provided was fantastic.

We just finished refinancing three mortgages with Landmark Mortgage Capital. Maria Esparza is a senior loan officer at the company. She did an excellent job. We closed in 35 days. Maria is very knowledgeable, responsible, organized, friendly and highly professional. Not only she found for us great interest rates, she made that usually painful refi process nearly flawless. Thank you, Maria!

Kirsten Levin from Landmark Mortgage was committed and focused on assuring I locked a great rate with minimum upfront cost. I appreciate her attention and personal service. My initial loan officer "did not work out" and no longer works for Landmark, so time and effort wasted there by me. Luckily, Kirsten picked up the ugly ball and got everything set up for a successful close with great rates.

Kirsten Levin with Landmark Mortgage was very helpful in securing me a refinance loan ! She advised me to wait for the right time to lock in the rate and it was worth it because I got the lowest rate at the end. She tried hard to get me the loan I wanted eventhough there are some complications near the end, she didn’t give up. Most of the time, she answered phone calls, e-mails, and text messages as soon as she gets them. Previous to her, an agent with whom I worked with in other loan company for few days doesn't even return my email nor my phone call right away. I enjoyed working with Kirstin and I will recommend her to my friends and relatives who would also want to refinance their loans. ... Kirsten, thank you for your time and help ! :)

I'm a repeat client of Maria Esparza and Landmark Mortgage Capital last year a completed a FHA Streamline to lower my rate to 3.25%. Maria promised to complete a free mortgage check up every six month to help me get rid of the mortgage insurance. Little less than 3 weeks I locked in a conventional 2.75% 30 year fix and I'm signing my loan documents next week. I recommend Maria Esparza and Landmark Mortgage Capital for bringing piece of mind to me and my family during these difficult times.

Kirsten Levin with Landmark Mortgage is a very hard worker, efficient, and does her best to process your loan in a timely manner. She is friendly, funny, and will treat you with respect. She also explains the process very clearly so it is easy to understand every step of the way.We've tried other mortgage companies with refinancing in the past, but Kirsten and team have been more expedient, and they were very patient with us and made sure all figures were correct before moving to the next step. We had some questions about certain line items, but she went through each item line by line so we were always on the same page.We did our refinance during the pandemic when all time frames for everything were pushed back, but Kirsten happened to expedite our loan process and we are thankful for that. Overall, my husband and I are very happy with her work and can assure you that she won't let you down.

I'm not used to make review publicly but this time I feel so indebted to a wonderful lady name Kristen Levin of Landmark Mortgage. She is very niceand very kind lady. Last December she helped me in refinancing my house and I was able to save a lot. You can call her any time night or day and you can feel that she's really willing to help you even only on the phone.Now, I'm back again to her for the second time around for my house refinancing while rates are still low. I trust her that much and I feel safe,welcome dealing with her. She's really smart and very knowledgeable.

Chris Bruyelle from Landmark Mortgage Capital was great! He got us a competitive and low rate with a rate lock extension due to a longer escrow period.

Kirsten Levin from Landmark oversaw and facilitated the lengthy and tricky process of re-financing our mortgage, which had been stuck at a unnecessarily high rate for years due to the complex deal under which the property was purchased. Multiple subordinations were required and to add the obstacles, the re-finance loan was reaching the finish line when COVID-19 layoffs and tanking economy changed the lending environment. Kirsten Levin was persistent about getting the loan done, and took on multiple tasks to reach that goal at every point of the process. This was not the first attempt to re-finance the mortgage and she succeeded where other loan officers had failed. Although there was a team of people who took an interest in this challenging re-fi, it had Kirsten Levin's full attention to coordinate all the moving parts needed for the nearly four months it took to get funded.

Succeeded where others failed.Kirsten Levin, the person who handled our re-finance, was unstoppable!My spouse had tried twice over the past ten years to get our mortgage refinanced. We have a rather complex mortgage with multiple subordinations and these complications stopped others dead in their tracks. Not Kirsten. She powered through, time and time again, making sure that these obstacles, averted by others less-willing, did not get in the way of our refinance.Not only did she overcome those obstacles, but also faced challenges with the underwriting and the loan processing head on, and overcame them as well. I honestly don't know if we would have been able to get this done without her and the team at Landmark. Thank you!And, if that wasn't enough, she saved us a lot of money!

She was honest, informative and always answered phone calls, e-mails, and text messages no matter what time was. Before asking for her help I had a really bad experience with somebody else but this won’t happen with Kirsten you can trust her. She enjoys what she does and it shows in her excellent work. She really cares about helping people.I am beyond happy that I chose Kirsten to help me and my family to refinance my house. Kirsten, thank you for your help 😊

We really appreciate all the hard work Kirsten Levin did for us and will definitely be using her and recommending her to others in the future. We can't thank her enough.

I get solicited frequently by companies trying to save me money on my mortgage, the calls flood in the moment you hit a website for mortgage rate searches. When Karl called me from Landmark Mortgage the experience was vastly different. He knew the market, offered sound advice in guiding me to the financing that made sense taking the guesswork out of the process because he's knowledgeable. From the first call, I never felt "sold", and since our first contact he's helped me refinance my home, twice. Thank you Landmark and thanks Karl Locke for your professionalism !

I have been through the mortgage loan and refinancing a few times. I always shop around for the best deal.This time, I found David Howes. He is the best! He is very knowledgeable, honest and patient. David is not like some other brokers who just wanna make deal and get paid. He really thinks about the long term. He is not pushy most of the times. ( of course he will push when he think that was the best deal already). He told me to hold off ( not like a typical broker at all) when it’s a possibility of interest rate going down. We have made up to lock the interest rate already then 2 hours later he came back to me with even lower rate but same cost! He walked me through the whole process and made himself very easy to approach.He earned my business and I will go back to him in a second for my future needs.Thank you again David! Great job!
