Financial Equities Mortgage Bankers Old Country Rd, Westbury

Michael Vasallo at Financial Equities, gives big promises in the loan application process, however once the process starts and time comes to lock rate and closing arrives, he would be not reachable via phone/email. He will provide a high interest rate and obligate to buy down discount points. Will not entertain market fluctuation of change 0.25%, previously promised. Mandates to sign back dated document at closing or cannot close. There is no alternate manager or contact at Financial Equities who can help. No one at closing department or any departments at Financial Equities will respond, unless they need documents from the applicant. In any case the loan will be sold to a large bank or financial institution before 1st loan payment. Horrible experience, not recommended. Waste of Time and efforts, very stressful.

I worked with Steve Stashin at Financial Equities on a recent home purchase and could not have been happier with the level of service we received. Steve and the team at Financial Equities went above and beyond during the handling of our mortgage process from the initial application to closing. Their document portal is straightforward and made providing and signing documents a painless process. All of the steps were clear and there were no surprises. We secured a fantastic rate, and Steve kept in close communication throughout the transaction. Our questions were always answered promptly and truthfully. I highly recommend Steve Stashin and Financial Equities.

Couldn't be happier with Steve and the Financial Equities team. I was very nervous as a first time buyer, but he truly understood where I was coming from. I obviously had a million questions, but he never hesitated to pick up his phone and help me though it step by step. He helped me get approved in no time, I couldn't believe how smooth the whole process was. I was so thrilled with my experience that I recommended my sister to Financial Equities and she shared the same experience! We both truly enjoyed working with Steve and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a lender.

One of the worst consumer experiences I’ve ever had. I trusted Tom Marino who was aware that this was my first time purchasing a home. Tom initially was very helpful but it was only so he could take advantage of me. Once I sign my mortgage commitment that’s when everything changed and when I went to try and lock in my loan he stalled and ignored me for 12 days before locking me in at a much higher rate. Also forced me to pay $2000 commitment fee which apparently was unheard of. I did get the money back at closing. STAY AWAY!!!!

We are so thankful that we chose Mario and Financial Equities to help us in the mortgage process. Mario is smart and knowledgeable. Our particular home buying situation was not of the "norm", but that did not stop him from giving 100%. He always made sure to keep us up to date, send us information, and most importantly made sure we knew what was going on every step of the way. Mario works fast and efficient. Not only did he make sure we hit our deadline, he locked us in at amazing rates! He is a true master at his field!! He is organized and well mannered. I cannot say enough about his help... we enjoyed working with Mario and would highly recommend anyone needing a mortgage lender!

I had the pleasure of working w/Nicole Vargas re: the purchase of my NOW two bedroom Condo. Nicole was NOT ONLY Professional and always responsive but thoughtful! This goes a LONG way when you are going thru the process of credit reports and more credit reports. Lets face it, Its painful! But when Nicole called, it didn’t feel that way. She had a way of calming the waters. Thank you Nicole. Truly! I am from Peekskill, NY!! You are a rock star

Working with Steve was an absolute pleasure! He made our first time home buying experience seamless, and secured us with an incredible rate that couldn’t be beat! He is extremely thorough and efficient and explained everything to us every step of the way. He always took the time to answer all of our questions and made this process as stress free as possible. We highly recommend Steve and we look forward to working with him again in the future!

I had a wonderful experience working with the Financial Equities team. Steve was incredibly helpful and responsive. I originally had a hard time coming up with a reasonable budget, but Steve was patient with me and assisted tremendously. He was a great help in getting me approved for my first home purchase. I have heard stories of how long and frustrating this whole process could be, so I could not be happier with how professional and easy the Financial Equities made this experience.

We had the pleasure to work with Shannon at Financial Equities while purchasing our home. Shannon walked us through every step of the process and the team at Financial Equities was willing and patient with each and every question we had. They certainly made the process as easy as possible even though we were not in NY but in CT. They certainly all navigated through the local rules to get us closed as easy as possible. Thank you Shannon and your entire team for making this possible.

As first time home-buyers, my husband and I needed a lot of hand holding during the mortgage process. Mario Corleto of Financial Equities went through the entire mortgage application line by line with us and gave us clear examples of what everything meant. He provided us with helpful tips to save money now and even gave us great advice that will save us thousands over the life of our loan. Mario is very knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful. Whenever I had a question (and I had many), I would email Mario and he would respond promptly with helpful answers. His customer service is like none other. We appreciate that he was able to come to our closing to see it through and personally congratulate us. Overall, my husband and I are completely satisfied with Financial Equities and are glad that our real estate agent recommended Mario Corleto!
