Alex Barresi at Rate (NMLS #483886)

Alex was a true professional and absolute pleasure to work with throughout the lending process. As first time homebuyers, he took the time to clearly explain the entire process from start to finish. He checked in often, answered our questions and emails promptly, and was always available to chat with us - day or night - when it worked best for our schedules. We had an ambitious 2 week closing timeline that he and his team handled flawlessly. Alex strategized the best way to achieve the lowest interest rate for us and was, by far, the most competitive compared to other lenders that we had received quotes from. We would recommend Alex time and time again! He was instrumental in making our first home purchase a very positive and smooth experience!
