By far the most pleasant and seamless experience buying a property ever. Michael and Ginger were absolute rockstars and had us ready to close within 3 weeks of our offer being accepted. The rate he secured for was much lower than what the big banks and other lenders were offering. Highly recommended!
Becoming a homeowner can be an overwhelming experience. I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Choice Mortgage. Micheal Kodsi made my whole process go by extremely smooth and was always readily available to answer any of my concerns. Thank you to Michael and his team for helping me become a homeowner.
Wow, I can’t say enough great things about the quality of service that Choice Mortgage provided during my loan and finance process. They were super attentive and responsive to all of my questions, and through text, call, and email, Michael was always available after hours and on weekends (not many companies are committed like that). Also, Michael didn’t lay down once as he vigorously found me a better than best rate that the market was offering. No decision needed for future financing needs, as I will forever be going straight to Choice Mortgage. A super BIG thanks to Michael and Ginger!
I heard about Choice Mortgage on the radio, and decided to contact them to see if i will qualify for a home loan. Michael Kodsi took my call and immediately started the process of getting me approved. The service and follow up has been fantastic, and we closed on our new home yesterday. I would recommend everyone to give Michael a call, and you will see how easy Choice Mortgage is to deal with.
Both my sister and I moved to Ocala from South Florida and we both used Choice Mortgage. I first became aware of Michael Kodsi from a talk radio show wherein I was extremely impressed with his knowledge of the market so when it came time for us to buy new homes the choice was clear. Michael had me pre approved within hrs and once I found a house I was approved for a mortgage in less than 24 hours. Same with my sister. He and his staff we always available and Michael is like having a right hand man at your side. Even my realtor was impressed with him and took his info to refer clients to him should they need a lender. The only thing that will stop you from closing in less than a week or two is the seller should they need more time to move out etc. If you need a lender he is the guy.
