In this highly competitive environment he learned the importance of teamwork and leadership in achieving success.

Excellent

Declan is able to get the best rates on the market, but other lenders likely can as well. Still, I would recommend Declan over someone else for two reasons: responsiveness and accountability. He always provides timely and detailed answers so that you feel in control of the process. Also, he will be very transparent any small hurdle should arise at any point in time.

Declan Made the Process Much Easier Than I Could've Imagined
Reviewed By Nicholas R.
Impressed is an understatement. It would be tough to find a lender better than Declan. His communication was great. He was more than transparent. He was willing and readily able to explain any aspect of the process that I found confusing. I gave him an expedited deadline and from the start he did everything he could to make it happen. 5 out of 5, no question about it.
