Jared is a total professional in mortgage lending services. Over 18 months, from pre-qualification, to making a final home selection and moving forward with the loan application, Jared and his staff were a joy to work with. Jared walked me through the process and, along with his staff, followed up every step of the way. Communications are paramount and Jared was thorough in ensuring the quality/ accuracy of the documentation. His administrative assistant, Lauren, was efficient and effective in helping me through the process. All documentation requirements were processed and their work made it an easy task for the underwriters to complete the approval. Hats off for great work. 5-stars PLUS!! Highest kudos to Guaranteed Rate Affinity.
Jared is a consumate professional through the whole home loan lending process. I would not hesitate asking for Jared's assistance again if needed. I would also recommend him to anyone looking for mortage lending services. At times it's not really the company but the individual you are working with that makes the experience in any business process. That is certainly the case with Mr. Potok.
JARED did a great job on getting my loan approved. Jared was very professional and always took my calls, emails, pigeon letters etc. I called all times of the day and night. I truly believe Jared cared and understood all my concerns and it wasn't just another loan to him. I was previously working with another lender and the loan officer I was working with did not do her due diligence so I was ultimately denied. I thankfully found Jared and upon meeting him I knew I was in good hands. I'm self employed so my income is not always clear cut. Jared was able to identify the issues I had previously and fix them ultimately getting the loan approved on time. What I truly loved was, Jared was able to communicate with my realtor and the sellers realtor to ease everyone's nerves due to the fact the other lender didn't work out. He saved the deal took a lot of the stress away. I highly recommend Jared and plan on using him again when I buy another home.
Jared was very efficient and got things done fast. I believe that he went above what was expecting from a loan officer. It was great working with him.
I was very apprehensive about working with Bank of America; from colleagues and friends I had heard bad things about BofA and how mortgages were handled (terrible customer service). Also, I felt “forced” into qualifying with BofA due to the requirement from the first home I made an offer for as the Seller worked for BofA and they required anyone making an offer be qualified with them (the deal did not go through but by then I’d already pre-qualified with BofA) In the end BofA got my business only due to Jared’s excellent work: I got his reassurance that he would be on top my loan from start to end and that he would pick up the phone and address any issues I brought to his attention. Both things proved true. When I first called him to tell him that I basically did not want to work with BofA because I did not trust they’d be able to meet the timelines for my purchase (my offer to purchase was contingent upon the sale of my home) he walked me through the steps and timeframes I should expect, what he would to deliver on each step and how he would be on top of things. So, basically, I took a leap of faith and went with BofA. Jared managed to turn me from “I’ll only work with these guys because they are competitive and I don’t want to go through another pre-approval” to “I’ll recommend Jared from BofA to anyone” . AAA class work. I would recommend him to anyone
I met Jared at an open house and knew right away that he knew what he was talking about, so I sent my financial information for him to analyze. Jared diligently worked on my loan and laid out all my options in order to purchase a new home. Jared is very professional and good at his job. My situation was a little complicated and also involved a contingent property sale, so there are a lot of coordination and planning in order to get the loan closed on time. Jared was very patient and extremely responsive with all my questions. He answered all my emails, and calls timely. I spoke to him numerous times late at night and on the weekends, he always took my call. He even got back to my email immediately when he was out of country on a trip. Jared has helped me through the process with a lot of guidance, he took away my buyer’s anxiety during the process that is supposed to be very stressful. I strongly feel that Jared cared, not only about the loan but more about my family getting our new home. I strongly recommend anyone who needs a mortgage or has a question. to contact Jared, he can definitely help you out. That’s how I started my process with some random questions, and I ended up with a new house with a great mortgage rate and a very smooth process that included closing ahead of schedule.
The lender was great Jarrod was the best loan officer I have ever dealt with. The experience was a little over whelming but through Jarrod it made it worth the wait
Jared is very prompt and responsive. The interest rate given to us is very competitive. We are glad that can we can close our escrow on time. I'll recommend Jared for your mortgage loan needs
Jared did an excellent job on our loan and gave us a great rate. He was very responsive any time we had a question, unlike some other loan officers. He even picked up the phone at 930pm to answer our question! I would definitely recommend using to Jared because of his knowledge, timeliness, and patience
