“Jim is the absolute best! My situation was a difficult one and Jim assured me that I was buying a home. Jim and Casey went above and beyond! I would not hesitate one bit on contacting Jim, he knows what he is talking about! Gracias Jim!!! You are one of the bests!!!”

Maria

“Amazing experience! Being self employed and using a VA home loan, i knew this was going to be a rough process. However, it wasnt. Tony took amazing care of me and assisted immediately with any questions i had. He guided me through the process and had innovative ideas to get the best deal possible for me. His communication is impeccable as i never felt in the dark at any time. I have now recommended Tony to other home buyers multiple times now and will continue to do so. If buyers go to anyone other than Tony, they are doing themselves a disservice. If I am ever in the market for property again, Tony will be my first and only call.”

David

Doug

“The Arvold Mortgage Team is simply THE BEST at what they do. Mike, Riley, and Cari coached us through a couple of very unique situations and simplified a complex process. What impressed me the most was the level of customer service they provide. As an informed consumer, I have extremely high expectations. This team exceeded those expectations at every level.

It is because of them, our family turned a dream into reality, and we cannot thank you enough.

If you are in the market to buy a home, refinance, etc. and want outstanding service, you need to work with the Arvold Mortgage Team.”

He was direct and up front with how the process of getting a mortgage worked.
His team sent us weekly updates about how everything was going in terms of what we needed to provide and where everything was at.
If we had questions they were answered promptly and as clear as possible.
10/10 would use again.”

Kylie

“The Best! Jim did a great job on the refinancing of our home. Restored my faith after a previous awful experience with a major loan company out of Detroit. Communication was great. Did not have to resubmit copies of documentation. If you are a veteran than Jim is the one to go to for VA needs. Satisfied customer, Steve.”

Steven

“My experience was nothing short of amazing. I was made a promise that Bryan could get me a home and he did just that. When I first started my home buying journey I was with a different lender and it was nothing but games and wanting to spend all of my money. It made my hopes of ever owning a home go out the window. Then I was referred to Bryan. I can’t seriously thank him enough for everything he has done for me. The home buying process with him was painless, and transparent. I will be going through him for all my future purchases. Thank you so very much!”

This is unbelievable – but true. He either picks up immediately when you call, or calls you back with a minute – no exaggeration. His knowledge is extensive – he draws expertly from it, to tailor the proper mortgage lender for you. His work is impressive, and valuable, as mortgages are generally the largest part of most financial portfolios. I can recommend Jon with NO reservations. He is hard-working and caring, honest and smart. If you want peace of mind – call Jon Hill. It has been a pleasure to work with him and his team”

She never missed a beat no matter the time of day or night, and she knew the answer to every question I had and always went over and above my expectations. I have purchased homes before but this experience was like no other. It was so cool to meet her in person at closing because you spend so much time talking over email and phone. I told her she got the award for best lender ever and I meant it! There is something to be said to be able to deal with a real person and not just be a number amoungst numbers in a pile a mile high of other applications. I think she answered every single phone call the whole time we worked together. I could go on and on but the bottom line is she is the best! I was not paid to say this! I am just a real person, I’m a single Mom, and she helped my dreams come true! Thanks again Mary! Jenny”

Sarah

“I rarely have the opportunity to work with a lender that carries a sense of humor and a high level of knowledge about the mortgage process…as crazy as that sounds. Typically there is a trade off. Humor and a lack of knowledge or high levels of knowledge and you get a robot. Bryan brings a wealth of experience, knowledge, humor and reality to the mortgage lending experience…and it’s a breath of fresh air to see his clients (and my own) actually enjoy the experience and feel represented. If you happen to be interviewing Bryan or looking for a second opinion, look no further. I am extremely specific about who I work with and recommend in this area of expertise. Know that you will be well served, well informed and know that your best interests are always represented.”

Dustin

“We had the best time working with Tony Schaffer at Refined Lending, a division of Luminate Bank,, for our first time home-buying. He was attentive, detail-oriented, responsive, and always set realistic expectations for us, in buying our first home. And then even after closing day had ended, he let us use the company van for our whole move in! we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you so much, Tony at Refined Lending, a division of Luminate Bank,!! We’re so happy with our very first home buying experience.”

Refined Lending, a division of Luminate Bank, sure has the best team out there!”

He was up front and honest about how much house I could afford and was helpful in explaining the unfamiliar financing terms so I knew exactly what was expected of me.

“Jenna Toedter was such a great partner to work with when buying my first home! She explained everything I needed to know about the home-buying process, connected me with a top-notch realtor, and carried me to the finish line in a tough home-buying market. She never pushed me into anything and was always checking in to make sure I was comfortable with my loan amount. I’d recommend Jenna and her team at Refined Lending, a division of Luminate Bank, to anyone.”

Brett

“It has been such an amazing and smooth experience working with Tony. Before Tony we went through 3 other mortgage loan officers with other lenders and have no regrets leaving them all for Tony. Tony is first and foremost respectful of you and whatever your situation may be. (My husband and I were first time home buyers with minimal home buying experience). He was patient in explaining everything to us and making sure we understood and were comfortable with every step we took. I will forever remember my first home buying experience positively thanks to Tony Schaefer. Tony, I don’t know you personally but I am sure you’re a great human being and you bring it into your work. Stay amazing. Thanks for all your hard work and patience.”

“If someone out there is looking for a Mortgage Loan Originator Organization, look no further than Refined Lending, a division of Luminate Bank,. The team I’ve been working with, Sami Ragsdale, Wendy Guerrero-Cruz and Mike VonBank (heck, the guy even has “Bank” in his name) are top notch!! They are infinitely knowledgeable (which is nice for a guy that knows nothing about lending). They are immediately responsive (and when you’re about to spend a bit of money on a house, “responsive” equals peace of mind). And they are just all around nice folks – calling when I request a call, kindly helping me through weird paperwork and silly questions and nicely nudging me when I need a gentle reminder that some piece of paper is necessary or a signature is due. These folks have made the mortgage loan process about as painless as signing your name 42-times could ever be. They seriously are the bomb!!! Thanks gang!!”

Jerrid put into perspective what the costs would be in different, realistic scenarios and was incredibly responsive with emails, texts, and calls. Throughout the closing process, I was incredibly anxious and just unsure and confused about the process (for probably the umpteenth time), and I just gave Jerrid a call for clarification. Jerrid was totally understandable and walked me through the process again and helped put my anxiety to rest. After just one weekend of looking at houses, I’ve officially joined the homeowner’s club early this September! I could not have done it without Jerrid or the Mike Arvold Team!”
