Matthew O'Connor has once again exceeded every expectation I had throughout the home financing process. This is now the second property I have purchased with his assistance, and I can confidently say that his professionalism, knowledge, and dedication are second to none. From the very beginning, Matthew took the time to explain every step of the loan process in a way that was easy to understand. He was incredibly informative, always ensuring I knew exactly what to expect and answering every question with patience and clarity. No matter how small my concern was, he treated it with respect and made sure I felt comfortable moving forward. One of the qualities I appreciate most about Matthew is his calm and reassuring approach. Purchasing property can often be stressful, but he has an exceptional ability to make the entire experience feel smooth and virtually painless. Whenever an obstacle or unexpected issue arose, he handled it quickly, confidently, and flawlessly. Instead of allowing problems to become roadblocks, he viewed them as opportunities to find solutions. His persistence, resourcefulness, and attention to detail kept everything moving forward without unnecessary delays. Matthew's communication is outstanding. He consistently kept me informed, returned calls and messages promptly, and made himself available whenever I needed guidance. I never felt like I was navigating the process alone because he was always there with honest advice and practical solutions. That level of customer service is becoming increasingly rare, and it is one of the many reasons I continue to trust him. Beyond his expertise, Matthew is simply a genuinely friendly and approachable person. He builds relationships rather than just completing transactions, and that personal commitment makes all the difference. It is obvious that he truly cares about helping his clients achieve their goals and works tirelessly to ensure the best possible outcome. Having now completed two successful property purchases with Matthew O'Connor, I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional loan officer. His professionalism, integrity, patience, knowledge, and unwavering commitment to his clients set him apart from everyone else in the industry. He consistently goes above and beyond to deliver results while making the process as stress-free as possible. I have complete confidence in Matthew and fully intend to continue working with him as I acquire additional properties in the future. He has earned my trust, my respect, and my highest recommendation. If you're looking for someone who will advocate for you, overcome challenges with confidence, communicate every step of the way, and make the lending process as seamless as possible, Matthew O'Connor is the person you want on your team. Thank you again, Matthew, for another outstanding experience. I look forward to working with you on many more successful property purchases in the years ahead.

From start to finish Ken and his team were very knowledgeable and eager to help. It felt like it wasn't just a job but they truly enjoy the hardwork they do. Ken jumped right in and wasn't afraid of mediocre credit scores. He worked day and night to make our dream of owning a home a reality. None of our questions were too small. After closing he sent me information on local landscapers in our area!! Gave us information on ways to lower our property taxes and tips to pay into the principle and potentially pay our house off sooner. He truly went above and beyond!!

As an agent, I know things are constantly changing in this market on rates and I do appreciate the help, but my client was constantly stressed due to poor communication from lender. I had to reassure them that the builder would not partner with you if they didn't believe you could come through for their clients, and if needed I also had other options, but this one certainly came down to the wire in last few days before closing. So more communication throughout the entire process even just to check in on them would help to better support the client going forward would build more confidence in you and Fairway.

My husband and I were first introduced to Dana Rich in November 2025, and she served as our Loan Officer for the next seven months, representing us as we searched for a new home in Flagstaff and Sedona. During that period, Dana proved an encouraging and optimistic presence in our lives, as we navigated what proved to be a complicated process. In fact, we made offers on four different homes with each one falling through for various reasons. It was discouraging, but Dana continually kept us buoyed with her remarkable resilience, notable for its positivity. She assured us that these setbacks were simply steps towards the path to our dream home. She was right. In June 2025, we found the home that we were looking for, and Dana was instrumental in our doing so. Throughout our time working together, Dana consistently demonstrated an impressive expertise. She responded promptly to every phone call, text and e-mail; she crunched numbers for us quickly and accurately; and she anticipated every question we might have with informative detail. We were continually blown away with both her professionalism and her kindness. We feel lucky and blessed to have had Dana working for us! She has our highest recommendation!

Working with Lori and her team was an outstanding experience from start to finish. My transaction involved a 1031 exchange with multiple parties, tight timelines, and many moving pieces, yet Lori guided everything with professionalism, efficiency, and confidence while her team helped ensure every detail stayed on track. Lori was exceptionally responsive, proactive in. her communication, and always one step ahead throughout the process. No matter what came up, she found solutions quickily, coordinated seamlessly with everyone involved, and kept everything moving forward, making what could have been a stressful experience feel organized and manageable. I truly appreciated Lori's knowledge, dedication, and genuine commitment to providing excellent service. She and her team made the entire process smooth from beginning to end, and I would recommend Lori without hesitation to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy lender backed by an outstanding team. I think this version strikes a nice balance - it keeps Lori as the clear focal point while acknowledging that her team's support contributed to this seamless experience. It also reads naturally as a genuine client review rather than marketing copy.

Four days ago my wife and I closed on a new home, guided all the way by James Minesolo of Fairway Independent Mortgage.. We had been directed to James by our daughter and son-in-law, who praised his services in helping them buy their own home four or five years ago. We have never worked with a professional who combined total competence with such responsiveness, attentiveness, clarity, enthusiasm, warmth, and support. After we hung up from our first telephone conversation with James, I said to my wife, “Now there’s a man who loves his work.” James’s main function is to assess and document his clients’ financial eligibility for a mortgage loan. He explains the bases for his determination including the mysteries of front-end and back-end debt-to-income ratios and will help you to identify and assemble the documentation you require. He simplifies this complicated procedure into easily manageable steps so that you feel like a data entry wizard. Also, he guided us through a number of choices we faced, such as whether to use a HELOC to pay off certain debts and warned us against some steps we had not even considered such as assuming additional debt or initiating any process that might trigger a credit check. He also advised us about critical considerations concerning any property we considered buying: What was the maximum asking price within our reach? What were the property taxes? Were these taxes dependent on the market price of the house or some other basis of assessment? Were there HOA fees? He knows the area he serves inside and out and is familiar with their regulations and avenues to accomplish whatever is needed. In a process fraught with many questions, anxieties, and misgivings, you will value James for his simple availability. You won’t encounter phone trees or three-day waits until he comes back from a long weekend as happens with many professionals. James will be there either immediately or within a very brief period, and you will have his full attention. He is also resourceful and proactive. If you are concerned that lack of central AC is a deal-breaker in a home you would otherwise love to buy, he will know of someone who can install that or a host of other such improvements for you. James is also, of course, fully connected with the other valuable services Fairway Independent Mortgage offers and is quick to iron out any problems you encounter with them. Fairway Home Connect was useful in facilitating our connections with the internet, but they also helped us start what we thought would be re-activation of an existing security service in the home. It turned out to require an entirely new and expensive installation, so we decided to take advantage of the three-day free cancellation service offered by the provider. But the security company impeded all our attempts to cancel on-line or by telephone. Reddit was full of complaints about the impossibility of cancelling a contract with this company. We called James, and within an hour we received a call from the security company to apologize and assure us that our contract had now been canceled. My wife and I are deeply grateful to James and consider him a friend. He is a rare example of a warm and supportive, always encouraging human contact in a time of robots and phone trees. He has our strongest recommendation.

From start to finish, Steve made this transaction easy and straightforward. There was great communication and direction all along the way. The transaction went quicker then expected. In the future, Steve would be our first and probably only call.

As first-time homebuyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better lender. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and never once pressured us into making decisions. She took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all of our questions with patience, and made sure we felt confident along the way. What really stood out was how much she genuinely cared about making sure we were taken care of—not just closing the loan, but helping us make the best decisions for our future. Buying a home can be overwhelming, but she made the experience smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. We are so grateful for her guidance, professionalism, and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone, especially first-time homebuyers looking for someone they can trust!

I don't know why anyone would use anybody but Orlando for their home loan services. The level of knowledge this man has is far beyond anyone else's. In a world that is frighteningly complicated, he truly is one of the last trustworthy sources. Orlando and his team worked tirelessly to get everything done on time. They were given impossible tasks and still pulled everything off flawlessly. I truly cannot express my gratitude enough to these folks.

I had an amazing experience working with my lender, Crystal, throughout the home-buying process! From day one, she was knowledgeable, responsive, and incredibly patient, taking the time to explain every step and answer all of my questions. She made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. Her communication was excellent, and she worked tirelessly to make sure everything stayed on track for a successful closing. I truly felt supported every step of the way. I am so grateful for her hard work, professionalism, and dedication in helping me become a homeowner. If you’re looking for a lender who genuinely cares about their clients and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Crystal and the entire team at Fairway. Thank you for helping make my dream home a reality!
