Micah is very personable, making him easy to work with, while also clearly explaining details and getting the job done fast and correct. He always answered questions promptly and to our satisfaction in a way that was understandable. It was clear that he cares a great deal about his clients and does excellent work for them.

I’m very direct…short, sweet, and to the point and I like to deal in business exactly that way. Mr.Randall certainly withstood the heat. When I first spoke to him, I admitted that I was quite harsh. He presented an amazing deal and I sent him packing! He persistently followed up with me until I came to my senses. Not only did I take the deal, but I recommended my good friend to him while I was in process and he helped us both at the same time. Dealing with Mitch for your Reverse Mortgage is a no brainer.

When I first spoke with Mr.Randall it was because I was referred by my sister’s husband. His confidence and presence over the phone have a way of easing you. I was previously told that it was not possible to help me with a Reverse Mortgage. I had a very touch issue with my deed because my sister moved to Mexico and would not sign off. Mr. Randall spoke to her and somehow after that conversation she had a change of heart and was willing to help me out and even speak to me again. We actually speak on a regular basis now! I am very grateful for the help Mr.Randall provided for my home and my family.

Our experience with Mike Harrell was outstanding. He was knowledgable, helpful, polite, and respectful of our feelings and needs. He helped us to understand how a Reverse Mortgage worked and how it applied to us. He expertly led us through the entire process, making us feel confident we were doing the right thing. We trust Mike explicitly, would use his services again, and would recommend him to anyone.

Jim W. and Ms. Craig W.

I first had dealings with Mike when he helped an old friend of mine with her reverse mortgage so I knew who to call when it was time for my reverse mortgage. Mike professionally guided me through the process and everything unfolded just as he told me it would. I never had to guess what was happening with my loan and he made sure I was prepared for every stage all the way until my loan funded. To this day, I still stay in touch with Mike!

James B.

My name is Carol R. and Mike Harrell helped us with our reverse mortgage in 2016. I am a Texas Tech (1961) graduate with a BBA in Accounting, so I at least knew something about what we are doing, but Mike made it as “painless” as possible. He kept us informed all the way through about what to expect and was extremely professional in the way he handled everything. By the time we were finished, we felt like we had a new friend and someone who would be there if we ever needed any further help.

Carol R.

I want to sincerely thank you for all your hard work on my reverse mortgage. Your professionalism was beyond my expectations. More important, I am ever grateful to you for your kindness and understanding of my situation. Unfortunately, after the loss of my job I needed to deal with many creditors who lacked compassion and understanding. Thank you for going the extra mile and it is appreciated more than words can say.

Maryanne D.

Bobby, I cannot thank you enough for helping me through this [reverse mortgage] process. You really went above and beyond to help me out and I appreciate it more than words can say. I can’t believe I’m finally able to pay all of my medical bills off and fix up the house! I’m so happy I called you and will definitely be referring you to some of my neighbors.

Maria G.

I was a little unsure calling about a Reverse Mortgage, but when I got Bobby on the phone, he immediately made me feel comfortable. He’s extremely easy to talk to and he gave me a lot of useful information. The best part about working with Bobby is he never forced my wife and I to do anything! He was just a great support system and really wanted the best for us. We did end up getting a Reverse Mortgage through him and couldn’t be happier. Thank you Bobby! We’ll definitely keep in touch!

Terry D.

Thanks to Bobby, a reverse mortgage has improved my mother’s life beyond measure. She and my father spent their entire lives working hard to pay off the house they built in 1958 and when my father passed away, she only had her Social Security check to live on. Having a reverse mortgage gave her a sense of independence, as well as confidence to support herself. As you can imagine, this program has been a godsend for her. Bobby was so patient and helpful to my mother and I through the whole process; I would recommend him to anyone in a similar situation.

Jenn F.

When we first met I was struggling to pay my bills and living only on social security income and a small pension. I needed a new roof and water was leaking into the bedrooms. Now, I have a line of credit from the reverse mortgage. I replaced my leaking roof and water damaged ceilings. I also treated myself and renovated my kitchen. Thank you for changing the course of my life.

This gentleman right here is worth his weight in Gold! This was my first mortgage and I don’t think there’s a better educator out there. He walked me through the whole process. Worked super late hours and got me my loan quick. And easy. He’s super efficient and knows what he’s doing. I was referred to him and let me tell you. I’m excited to buy another house just so I can experience this easy process again! Thanks again Scotty boy

Mr. Scott Mantel made my first time buying experience very comfortable. He did my loan very professionally and efficiently. He is very good at what he does. He responds to emails, texts, etc. very fast as well. Always made sure everything was going smooth. I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a home loan!

johninc16

I must say that my recent mortgage refinance was a smooth, seamless experience. Mr Mantel is extremely knowledgeable and was able to guide us through the loan process with ease. He was always available to answer any questions that we had. We are extremely happy with the loan that Me Mantel was able to get for us. We were able to get a great interest rate and the loan closed in a timely manner. I would recommend Mr Mantel and Nationwide Equities Corp to anyone in the market for a loan. This refinance experience with Scott Mantel and Nationwide Equities Corp was a 10 out of 10.

dwaynekd

I can’t say enough great things about my experience with Scott Mantel! He is incredibly knowledgable on the lending process and was able to walk me through all of my mortgage options before moving forward so that I could make informed decisions. In the end, we decided to move forward with a refinance product that saved me more than $1000/per month and hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest over the term of the mortgage. Furthermore, despite everything I was hearing from other lenders, Scott was able to refinance my mortgage quickly and expertly despite the challenges of conducting business in the middle of a global pandemic! Thank you for everything Mr Mantel! Looking forward to doing business with you again!

Ozzie has now closed 2 refinances for me and never was there even the slightest hick-up. From the initial phone call to discuss whether or not to refinance, Ozzie’s honesty and knowledge always had me believing my decision was correct. I have recommended his to family and friends who have all used him. He and his team are professional, timely, courteous, and always accessible. THE BEST!!!

Joe A.

Ozzie helped us with our refinancing and I cannot recommend Ozzie and his team enough. They were so easy to work with, quick to respond and very professional. Ozzie helped us everyday and was quick to respond to us about all our questions and problems. I’m truly grateful I had the opportunity to work with Ozzie and his team (Julie). Thank you again!

Jay Thakuri

Ozzie and his team were introduced to us by our Financial Advisor – he came highly recommended. My wife and I are completely satisfied with Ozzie and co. and they work that they did for us – they were very organized and thorough. We were new to the process and Ozzie was very attentive and made certain that he answered all questions/concerns that we had! He made himself available any time during the day. His team provided us with all the information that we needed when refinancing. He definitely made the process very easy for us from beginning to end!

Mariko & Brian Migue

When my wife and I decided to purchase our first home, we were very nervous about the whole process until we met Ozzie. Ozzie and his team made everything very easy for us, they were patient, very supportive, they listened and guided us throught the whole process. The closing of the mortgage was almost stress free and we were able to buy the dream house.

When it was time to refinance for a lower interest rate, Ozzie was there. Thanks to him we were able to lower the mortgage interest rate by more than 1%. Which is a great saving.

We highly recommend Ozzie Rabinowitz and his team for their honesty, great work, great customer service and working with us from the beginning to the end, they will always be there for you.

Jesus Rodriguez

Andre went above and beyond to ensure the process went smoothly and quickly. He was very diligent in all aspects of handling our loan. He patiently explained each step whenever we didn’t understand (and at times also explained processes that didn’t even pertain to our mortgage) and hand held us from start to end. I will 10000% use him again and will (and have already!) recommended him to friends and family.

James Scott

Micah recently refinanced my parent’s reverse mortgage. He was knowledgeable, responsive and helped us easily navigate what can be a long and sometimes complicated process. Anytime we had an obstacle, he diligently worked through it and found an acceptable solution. He is very trustworthy and has a great team as well. My parents reduced their interest by more than a full point and received some additional cash. I’d highly recommend him to anyone considering a new reverse mortgage or refinancing,.

Ken

As a first time home owner Andre re-insured me throughout the closing process making sure everything went smoothly and stress free. He was very thorough and professional during the process explaining step by step what to expect. It was a pleasure working with him and I am very satisfied with choosing Andre Giambona for my mortgage loan.

brittany

Scott helped us with our first house 8 years ago, he helped us with our refi and then he helped us on our second house. Quite literally, you couldn’t ask for a better bank. Everything was always explained in detail, and he helped move the process along as quickly as possible. Communication was always clear and efficient. We intend to use him again and would highly recommend him to anyone.

marshalleshuster6

Micah embodied the qualities one hopes to see in in a professional who is guiding you through a complex transaction. He was clearly competent and dealt with me on a professional basis – neither ignoring my concerns nor being condescending in addressing them. He was responsive, personable and a thorough delight to work with.

Jim Hargarten

From the very beginning to closing, Scott was very responsive and patient all the way. Always worked, sometimes on the weekends, sometimes in the middle of the night! Not only did he give us the best rate, he was also able to close on time as promised. It was not an easy process getting a multi-family loan but he worked hard and delivered!! Thumbs up here, would recommend to anyone looking to purchase or refinance a home.

Gene Pyo

Scott made the process of obtaining our mortgage seem like a breeze (even when it wasn’t!) He was super responsive- answering any and all questions, following up constantly and made sure we got an amazing rate and closed ahead of schedule!

Without a doubt, I’d recommend Scott and will be contacting him if and when I need another mortgage.

tarahmann

I’d been talking on and off with Scott for close to a year, while my wife and I honed in on exactly what we were looking for in NYC (which is an incredibly fast moving and competitive market). My wife and I are self employed, which is a special brand of headache

for lenders and homebuyers alike. Scott was a referral from a close friend who is also self employed, and had purchased a few properties with Scott’s help.

Scott was always easy to get a hold of to answer any questions, of which there were SO many throughout the year or so we’d been in contact. NYC is an insane market, and without someone there to answer questions it kind of seems impossible. When we finally found the house we wanted and got an accepted offer on, Scott and his team moved quickly to get everything together necessary for closing. He and the folks at Nationwide Equities walked us through the whole process, which for a first time home buyer in NYC is seriously daunting. I feel bad in hindsight for all of the texts and emails I sent at ungodly hours, but they were always returned so promptly I just figured he cared as much as I did. Which, again looking back on it seems silly. But that’s the sign of someone who does their job right!

Also, Scott kept a watchful eye on interest rates as they were changing day by day, and locked a rate WAY lower than I had expected. We also didn’t have to pay points on the rate, which is amazing.

At the end of the day, honestly I don’t think this process would have worked for us with another lender. Given the headache of self employment and all of the extra work required, a lot of lenders just give a “no” before they really look into working with certain types of buyers. Scott worked his ass off for us, and my wife and I got a house we absolutely love, with a mortgage rate that far exceeded expectations. We are forever grateful!

Nate Wood

It was my first time buying a house and Scott was by far the team leader of the very confusing presses of purchasing my property.

You can always rely on Scott to be available 24 seven and always quick to respond.

Be sure to expect the perfect execution of any deal with Scott on your side.

Thanks Scott! Talk soon with a new purchase

David Nehaice

Scott came with a recommendation from a coworker. I figure let me see if he is up for a challenge. My refinancing was for several issues and he address all and made the process so easy. He was my reminder when i got busy at work and went through all the steps with me. Even when underwriting was ask for more, he explain why.

I would recommend him in a heartbeat. Very professional.

Roxanne

Whatever I say is not enough. Scott is the king of brokers and I fully trust his advise. Beside that he truly cares about his clients and their goals. He helped me to purchase my first house which was a super complicated deal and he advised me through all the steps and obstacles to get the mortgage through. Recently I refinanced my mortgage to get out of the FHA and take out cash and have a 30 year fixed low interest conventional mortgage. Initially, I did some mortgage shopping and he was the best amongst all. The process was super clear, smooth, and informative similar to my first experience with him. Again we had some hurdles on our way because of my financial situation, but he managed to sort things out and got me the best deal possible. I have recommended him to a few friends whom had a similar experience as me. I highly recommend him!!!

naciem nowrouzi

We met Scott at the suggestion of a realtor we had been working with before we bought our new home. Hesitant at first, our skepticism quickly disappeared! Scott was thorough at the very beginning with our application. Some of the income was very complicated and he spent endless hours to make sure he had a full grasp on making sure we would qualify for the loan. From the very start, right up until closing, what Scott told us he would deliver came true….in fact, better than we actually had expected! I cannot say enough good things about Scott he is a true champion for the buyer and a remarkable, one of a kind loan officer. I HIGHLY recommend talking to Scott before you proceed with anyone else!

Jahanara akhter

Ozzie was great from beginning to end always guiding me to the process. As a first time home buyer I truly needed help and Ozzie was there to do so. Any question I had he answered, whenever I felt nervous about any move he would calm the situation. I recommend Ozzie to anyone either new in the game or veterans. He and his team will take special care of you, special shout out to Julie, Mariam as well for there great help.

surgepalmero

Ozzie exceeded all of our expectations! He explained the home buying process in detail at the beginning so there were no surprises. He was always very responsive and quick to provide accurate data on various rates and loan options available .Ozzie stayed on top of action items that needed resolved to ensure the loan closed on time. (Thank you Julie!) He made the home buying process easy from beginning to end. We truly appreciate all of the help and support that he provided throughout the entire loan process Thank you again for taking the stress out of that portion of the home buying experience! We highly recommend your professional and personal service!

ital

Scott was honest, diligent, and very helpful. His advice was spot on and was always on top of his game. He found the optimal solution for our needs, which came in as much less costly than all the other alternatives we considered. Lastly, he stuck with us thru an 8 month period where we were in contract but waiting for repairs to be made by the seller before closing. If I ever buy another house again there’s only one person I’m calling: Scott.

Mike

Ozzie helped me many times in the past and just resent on my new home, Everytime I purchased a home or refinanced I was happy to contact Ozzie because I knew he would be a great help to me. He was very helpful kind And very professional and I always know I can rely on Ozzie to help me I always had a great experience with getting my mortgage through him and would highly recommend him

Lisa Serinese

Couldn’t imagine finding a better loan officer then Ozzie and his assistant Julie. From the very start Ozzie gave us all the time we needed to determine the loan amount that was appropriate for us and when to lock…we felt like we talking to old friends…present sent from heaven. Strongly recommend you use him!! We appreciated their professionalism organization and efficiency in any matter that related to our loan.

yjakubovics

As a self employed individual in the service industry I knew it would be difficult to get a loan. Ozzie said he could make it happen, and it wasn’t easy but he along with his wonderful assistant Julie got it done. Now I have a beautiful home in a wonderful community for my wife and two young children. Ozzie and Julie are wonderful to work with. If you’re looking for a lender your search is over, you will not find anyone more dedicated.

timpolys

Ozzie helped me to buy my first home in an incredibly daunting seller’s market. If I had to do it again, I’m honestly not sure that I would, given how stressful it was, but I was glad to have Ozzie and Julie helping me through this process. He has the patience of a saint. I am happy to recommend Ozzie, especially to first-time home buyers in need of some extra hand-holding.

anil roka

I was fortunate to find Ozzie Rabinowitz as my lender. He provided professional, precise information on a loan before getting pre-approved and throughout the entire process. From my first phone call with Ozzie until the day of my closing, I didn’t have to worry about anything. His staff is professional and very thorough.

Great guy, great company!

zuser20140804073715623

Ozzie and his team were a pleasure to work with. I was a first time home buyer, and Ozzie was able to provide advice even at a personal level. We went for a 30 day closing and had everything done with really almost a week to spare which was spent reviewing closing costs, including finding items to lower cost.

Every time I have had to contact Ozzie, he was able to respond immediately. Send an email, receive a response in about an hour. Even at odd hours in some situations outside of normal business hours. His team is also just as good in terms of response time and follow up. And not only fast response to you, the buyer – but also to your agent and lawyer. Correspondence between all of us was so smooth it was almost like being in the same room.

My agent is even considering adding them to her recommended lenders and she’s been doing this for decades. Ozzie and his team are truly the best. And I am truly thankful Zillow’s website paired me with him and his team.

stevenlmark

Ozzie and his team were amazing! The entire process was relatively straightforward and Ozzie and his team explained everything in an easy and understandable fashion. Most of the work on our side was really limited to scanning and signing paperwork. I’ve worked with other lenders, and Ozzie has proved to have the best customer service. He was always available for questions and really pushed this through. As long as you have your paperwork and records together, then you will have a smooth and easy transaction. Thank you again! Highly recommend!

frenchy505845

Ozzie and his team where very helpful and informative throughout the process from n pre-approval to closing and even beyond… He prepared us before every step of the process and for every complicated situation he did the work required to get it done smoothly, without hesitation! Since my closing I have even recommended Ozzie to a friend of mine, and the feedback I got from him was the same.

aronmek

The lender explained the process very clearly and was open to question which were answered more than one time. I was very at ease with them,. There was no pressure and really very nice in their dealings. They wanted to make sure that every step of the process was understood and try to help at every turn.

rbenno

I had the opportunity to have Ozzie Rabinowitz handle the mortgage aspect of my home purchase. He is a respectful, very knowledgeable individual that treats your questions and concerns like his own. He extended countless hours and advice beyond what is expected of a lender in the most patient and dignified manner. He is well known in the Tri State area as the most competent, honest, and admired mortgage lender. Everyone that has had the honor of working with Mr. Rabinowitz and his office staff had only raving remarks to share. I AM PROUD TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH Ozzie Rabinowitz and HIGHLY recommend his services!!

nettie72

We were referred to Ozzie by a co-worker at my office. My husband and I were so happy with Ozzie that we refinanced with him after he handled the mortgage on our new purchase. Ozzie and his staff kept us informed every step of the way. There were no unpleasant surprises. We referred others to Ozzie who have been very pleased with his services.

drc08904

Of the numerous people involved on both sides of our Brooklyn real estate transaction, Scott was the only one who seemed to have our best interest at heart. He was skillful in putting together our complicated mortgage, calm during the tumultuous months as the deal teetered off of several legal cliffs and in the end he was able to make moves that salvaged our approval timelines. He is trustworthy and knows the real estate market better than anyone. His number is the first I will call whenever a decision is to be made with regards to my home.

rwbean4

Scott is definitely and expert and one of the best when it comes to getting a deal done but it is sooooo much more than that. Before working with Scott, I was looking at a possible 2 family home in Cypress Hill. After working with Scott, I purchased a 3 family home in the hottest area in BedStuy. Scott helped me to put a plan in place that took over 3 months to execute. He told me the things I had check on my credit and the monies I had to have to make my dream come true. You always hear those silly infomercials talking about buying investment property with little or no money down. Well, I did it and it wouldn’t have been possible without Scott Mantel. I knew I was in the right hands not only because of how he explained everything, but other people knew him as well. Sometimes property owners will try and tell you what lender they’d like you to go with to ensure the deal goes through…Once I dropped Scott’s name, they just exhaled and had no problems moving forward because they knew I was in good hands. Everyone has a “guy” but Scott is “The guy”. If you want to get your deal to go through, use Scott. Period.

Adeola Fadeyibi

We have used Scott for multiple mortgage loans, and every time he has done an amazing job. He walks us through great detail with every option, and answers all of our questions. He is also able to really figure out difficult situations, and always gets us a great outcome. I would highly recommend him!! We have used him for purchasing loans, refinancing loans, and home equity loans. Great guy!

Kerstin Larson

We bought our first home in Jan 2014, Being very naive thought everything we saw and heard from certain mortgage companies was Gospel. Then we were introduced to Scott through a mutual friend, Thank God!!. The housing market in all it’s glory was explained in a heartbeat . Scott did such a good job on our first mortgage that we had no hesitation In using his Services & Skills to help us when we refinanced . We highly recommend Scott .
