I thank God for Jason and his team. Jason was very professional, respectful, and easy to communicate with. He collaborated with our realtor. He explained the home-buying process to us and was very honest regarding what to expect from the market. He treated my husband and me like family. We closed in March!!! We are so grateful and glad we used AAA Capital Funding, Inc. for our mortgage needs, thank you, Jason, for your expertise and guidance during the whole process.

I was completely new to the home buying process. I tried preapprovals from known-name banks and was met with high rates and/or low loan amounts. I did some research and was advised to go with a local lender. With that, I did more research and landed on AAA Capital. I am very glad I was able to work with AAA Capital as Jason was fantastic and was able to quote my desired loan amount at 5.9%. In comparison to the previous quotes I received, this was acceptable.My overall experience of the home buying process was straightforward and easy. Going into this knowing nothing, I did not know what to expect, but Jason and my realtor guided me and explained things throughout the process. Jason was always responsive and really easy to communicate with, so I was always learning and aware of what is happening in real-time and what to expect next. I was preapproved in early August and found a house I liked in late August. My offer was accepted, and from there Jason was on point with getting things done. I was able to close at the end of September and can now say I am a homeowner! I have read/heard about negative experiences and how stressful buying a home can be, so I am genuinely grateful for how smooth my home buying experience with AAA Capital was. Thank you again Jason and team.
