Always responded to my endless emails and phone calls even in the early evening. Found us a mortgage when my first broker told me that I will not be approved. Found us cheaper insurance.

Let's face it, shopping for a mortgage is like car shopping. 7 Locks Lending cuts out the game playing. Stephen works with lenders, but work's for you. He takes the time to provide insight, education, all while providing a great service and finding, you, the best deal. I'd refer to my own mother.

Steve made it easy and painless, going above and beyond, assisting me with another bank when I was trying to obtain a Home Equity line, and was always friendly, super-responsive. He obtained a better rate (after we had locked). A super approachable and great guy all around, I would not hesitate to work with Steve again!

— Maureen B.

Steve is the best! He is able to guide and give direction while still being able to answer all questions and explain every question you might have! He takes the time to explain everything very thoroughly but still makes everything easy to understand. From the moment we spoke on the phone I felt Steve had my best interest and I could trust him. 100/10 would recommend Steve and I personally do not want to work with anyone else!!

— Robert M.

My husband and I had such a pleasant experience working with Steve and his team. Steve was always available to answer our frequent questions and was incredibly timely with moving our lending process along. A day before our closing there were a few unforeseen roadblocks that occurred and Steve made sure to look out for us, have our best interest in mind, and ensure that we close on our house on time.

Took me step by step through the refinance process. He was patient while we worked through everything; answered all my questions and kept all entities to task. Could not have asked for better assistance. Highly recommend 7 Locks Lending!

Steve helped us refinance our house. During Covid times, the process was a lot more of a pain than it normally would have been. However, throughout the process, Steve was very responsive, honest, and super helpful. I would highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to refinance or get a new mortgage!

— Justin B.

Steve was absolutely amazing. I was referred to him by a colleague and I can’t say enough good things. From the start of the process, Steve was in constant communication with me. It was a 6 month ordeal and he always responded to my texts and picked up the phone. He went out of his way to make sure I got the best terms, the best deal, and to make sure I knew exactly what was going on. If you want someone who will actually provide value and be proactive, and give you that 1 on 1 boutique experience, than looking no further than Steve.

— Tim L.
