Stephanie Machado Barto was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout my condo buying process! She was easy to talk to, incredibly attentive, and really took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense. I especially appreciated that as a first-time homebuyer!

Her attention to detail made a big difference, and she helped me secure a great rate of 5.99%.

Thanks to her support and care, what could have been a stressful process ended up being a really positive experience. I’ve already started recommending her to others and will definitely continue to do so. I’m truly grateful for the experience I had working with Stephanie and GMFS.

Mr. Peterson was wonderful to work with. As first time home buyers, it was important for my wife and I to have an informed, attentive and knowledgeable professional to guide us through the process. Mr. Peterson was a perfect fit. He answered our endless inquiries in a timely manner and ensured we knew what to expect as the deal progressed. He is an approachable, understanding and trustworthy guy. We would recommend his services to anyone!

This is our third time using John as our broker, he and Lindsey always make it extremely easy and hassle-free, they keep us updated with the process and are always willing to answer any questions. Our plan is for this to be our forever home but if we find ourselves in the market again we will definitely go back to John and gmfs.

My wife and I had an amazing experience with GMFS Mortgage! Michelle Acosta was who we dealt with the most,and she was phenomenal! She was informative, helpful, considerate, and proffesional! She was with us from day one assisting us with a plan to prepare for qualifying, send us workups on what to expect to pay for houses we liked,and answering any questions we had about costs, fees, and anything else that popped up. Miranda Gref was also extremely helpful in ensuring we had all of our I’m dotted and it’s crossed at the end. Our closing took 35 minutes because of the work that Michelle, Miranda and the entire GMFS team did to make sure that everything was in order! I can’t say enough!

Johnny Peterson was beyond helpful throughout our first home buying process. He was able to not only answer all of our questions, but also provide us valuable advice and help. He was in constant communication with us every step, making the process very straight forward. We would recommend GMFS to anyone we know, and will certainly come back to buy our next home.

I contacted GMFS inquiring about a refinance, and within 24 hours they had run the numbers and gotten back to me. A few e-signatures later and the process was done. Super fast, amazingly easy, completely stress free experience from my perspective. And they were quick to answer any and all questions I had!

This company deserves 5 gold stars. From the time that I made initial contact with Michele it was a pleasant experience all the way to the key exchange. The team was always available to answer questions, always willing to help and always reminded me that I could call them whenever I had a question/concern. It is an experience that EVERY potential homebuyer deserves. I was a first time homebuyer and this was the only company I had contact with. However, if I had to do it again or had a to make a recommendation……………GMFS is the no-brainer choice HANDS DOWN and thumbs up.

Darren did a great job. He was very knowledgeable and responsive througho the process. Toward the end of the process we did get some odd request from loan approvers (not Darren) which is why I rated the overall experience as ok and not great (i.e. requirement to make cosmetic vinyl siding repairs prior to closing).

Great place to go and get help to buy your home! Everyone is so nice and very helpfully. Every time I had a question it was answered right away. I have used GMFS for my first house a few years ago and just used them to buy my second house this year. The process is easy to buy your own home. Thank GMFS for all your help!!!

They’re super professional and quick to respond. Kaitlyn goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are aware of all things happening with their loan. She’s even saved a deal before by going to the home herself and measuring the space for her client. Saved. The. Deal. She’s a closer! And above all else, she has integrity and is kind.
