Advantage Star Mortgage corp

My wife and I are incredibly grateful to Craig at Advantage Mortgage for helping us achieve homeownership when another lender told us it wasn’t possible. After First Home Mortgage declined us due to my wife’s transition from 1099 to W2 employment, we were discouraged. But Craig took a deeper look at our financial profile, believed in our situation, and worked strategically to get us qualified.

If you are looking for a loan officer to work with, Mark Vinsick is the guy! My wife and I were first time homebuyers and had no idea where to begin. Our friend was working with Mark and said we should give him a call. From the very first call, we knew this was our guy! He explained everything so well and made everything so easy for us. Throughout the whole process, he always made time to answer our calls and answer all of our questions. He is truly a great and genuine person and I could not be happier and more grateful for everything he has done for us. Thanks again, Mark!

Craig is very informative, communicates frequently and is very thorough. He explained the loan process; was able to get us a great fixed loan rate, helped each step of the way and helped us to stay on top of requirements for a smooth closing. We had a very aggressive timeline and Craig helped us to meet our commitment. I highly recommend Advantage Star Mortgage and Craig for your loan needs.

I had an excellent experience working with Craig Smolen throughout my mortgage process. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and extremely patient, taking the time to explain every step and answer all of my questions. Their professionalism and dedication made the entire experience smooth and stress‑free. I’m truly grateful for their help and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Craig Smolen… I would give him a hundred stars if I could. My wife and I are now living in our new house. At one point we thought it would be impossible to get a house and we would be stuck renting! That’s when we called Craig. He helped us get qualified. It took about 5 months. It was a long process but Craig was really there for us the whole time. He spent hours putting things together for us and communicating with banks. We are truly blessed to have such a great loan officer. I would highly recommend Craig and Advantage Star Mortgage. We love our house and the services from Advantage Star. Thanks Craig!!
