We cannot say enough about Derek! He took the time to walk us through the process of purchasing our home. We contacted him after our previous lender could not help us. Derek is very patient and understanding he left no stone unturned! We would definitely do business with him and highly, highly recommend him!! Thank you again Derek!

We highly recommend Derek Brodeur, if you are looking to buy a home. We were first time buyers, and Derek patiently walked us through the process, with all of its dramatic twists and turns. He was always willing and able to explain the details and make good suggestions about our choices. He made himself available off-hours for pressing matters--especially as it came time for closing. Buying a house during a pandemic was not a simple process, but Derek made it doable for us. He was a pleasure to work with and we recommend him without reservation!

Derek is definitely my go to Lender. He is very knowledgeable on the current market and very thorough with his research. He is quick to say let me get back to you if he doesn't know an answer to a questions which proves to me that he wants to make sure that they information conveyed is accurate. He is honest and straightforward and is quick to answer the phone or return a text. I couldn't have asked for a better Lender.

Derek was a pleasure to work with during the entire loan process. He was extremely professional, attentive, and thorough. He took the time to answer my (numerous) questions and explain each step along the way. When something changed, like the process for closing, he let me know right away. I value strong communication, especially during something as significant as a home refinance, and Derek went above and beyond. He knows what he is doing, and you can tell he takes great pride in making the experience as painless and straight-forward as possible for his customers. I highly recommend Derek and would happily work with him again. He is a true asset to his company. Thank You, Michael Thompson

Derek came highly recommended to us by my son, who refinanced about a year ago. Since this was our first refi, we were a little unsure of what to expect. Derek was amazing, made the entire process from start to finish not only a pleasure, but easier than we ever imagined. He was available any time i needed to talk, which was pretty often, and answered all my questions in a way they could be easily understood. It was clear from the start that he had our best interests at heart and worked hard to get us the beast deal possible. We started out with a mortgage broker, and ended up with a friend. I would highly recommend Derek and would plan to use him again if the rates ever drop lower than what we have now. :)

I knew nothing about home buying and Derek was able to clearly articulate each step to me so i was able to take notes and understand the process. He was always available and I felt comfortable calling anytime I had a question.

Derek and his team were incredible to work with. They answered any questions I had during the refiance process. As we got closer to the closing there was sometm things that had to be handled and rearranged and Derek went well out of his way and business hours to make sure everything was resolved and the closing didn't have to be moved. I would highly recommend Derek to any one I know that is purchasing a new home or refinancing. Overall great experience

Derek is amazing! I have now bought three homes and refinanced with Derek and I could not have asked for a better Loan Officer. Derek is hard working, dependable, reliable, and always one step ahead allowing for my closings to go by smoothly. If you are on here looking for a loan officer look no further because Derek will handle your closing with care!

This is the second time we used Derek for a refinance and after the 1st time, it was a NO BRAINER to contact him for this one. He is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and reliable. Any type of refinance on your mortgage can be a stressful time and Derek makes it more manageable and worry free. I would not hesitate to recommend Derek to anyone looking for any type of loan/mortgage regarding their home.
