EXCELLENT Based on 79 reviews Posted on Google ron caringalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Updated 060526: I can’t recommend Victor's team enough! They managed to lower my interest rate by a full 2% and consolidated my high interest debts into one manageable payment. This move alone is saving me $830 every single month. On top of that, they secured $5,000 in lender credits, which covered all my closing fees and even left an excess to apply toward my prepaid interest. If you want a mortgage professional who actually delivers on their promises, call Victor. Previous 12/2024: Victor was easy to deal with.

I’m a returning customer with OnPoint Mortgage Pro, and once again they delivered an outstanding experience. Victor helped me in the past, and because that process was smooth and professional, I didn’t hesitate to work with him again. This loan came at the perfect time for my wife and me.

It allows us to pay off all our outstanding credit cards and finally get ahead instead of falling behind. It truly feels like we’re getting our financial footing back.
