If you're looking for a mortgage broker who will go above and beyond, make the process easy, and find you the best mortgage option, I highly recommend Patrick O'Connell. I had challenges securing a loan, and Patrick made it happen! He has exceptional knowledge and is able to navigate the process very effectively. Thank you Patrick for turning a challenge into an exceptionally smooth process!

My experience with this lender was a nightmare. I couldn't be more dissatisfied with this lender. The lender claims to have made a mistake on the rate lock term that resulted in our paying points to get the promised rate. Lender also reneged on promised credits. In addition, this lender was prompt to response all the way up until it was too late for us to change lenders (with less than two weeks left to close). My experience with this lender is that he was acting in a manner that was hostile at moments, dishonest, and unethical. We closed late and it cost us more than negotiated.

From the moment I spoke to Patrick, I felt confident that I had chosen the right person. I have been through the refinance process a couple of times before with other brokers and the process was mind-numbing. Patrick is efficient, professional and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend him!

I can't thank Pat enough for all of his help in securing a loan for the purchase of my first home. He was always available when needed and worked tirelessly to make sure that everything worked out. Sincerest thanks!!!

This is the second time in 15 years that I have had the pleasure of working with Pat O'Connell and he'll be the first guy I call next time! Every home loan has it's struggles and my experiences bore that truth out. Pat and Billy O'Connell helped us navigate the process and kept us in the loop through all stages. The interest rate they got us was the best I could find. Even the notary who helped us sign the closing documents commented on ours being the lowest rate she saw this year and to date she has facilitated over 300 loan closings! The O'Connell's will be the first ones I recommend for sure.

Pat was extremely helpful at explaining every step of the process, and was very easy to get a hold of. If he was unable to answer my phone calls or emails, I would promptly receive replies, even after-hours and on weekends when I had zero expectation of a callback. I got a great interest rate, reasonable fees, and the professionalism of Pat and his team was highly appreciated. I will be sure to recommend his services to all.

As a business owner with multiple entities complicating my financials, and being 1500 miles apart in another state, Pat and his team worked hard to get my conventional jumbo loan closed. The fees were far less than a lot of other lenders I looked at. Most of the paperwork was submitted via email and follow up phone calls in the evening or weekends when I was available to talk. I would recommend him and his team to anyone without hesitation.

Pat was attentive to his client and welling to explain anything in detail. He's a professional at what he does and was very savvy with VA loans. I was able to close within 14 days with military PCS. Thanks Pat!

I have worked with many lenders and mortgage brokers over the years and can attest to Mike Hardy as one of the best, most responsive and offering extremely transparent and competitive rates and fees.
