Mark and Cohen Financial saved us after we were declined for a mortgage from a national lender.
Mark was strongly recommended to me by a friend after I had already committed to the national lender. Mark nonetheless took my call, despite the fact I was simply seeking assurance I was going to approved. He asked a number of quick and pointed questions, had me upload some data, and within a matter of 15 minutes he determined I was probably going to be declined despite the lender telling me otherwise. He told me that he hoped he was wrong, but that his knowledge of the lender gave him serious concerns about my status. He ended by giving me some valuable advice and information about my credit, and the process with the national lender, and told me he’d be there if anything went wrong.
Mark was absolutely right. A month later, we were declined from the national lender. Mark took my call immediately and represented he was pretty confident he could get us covered. The next morning, before 9 a.m., he called me and told me he had us approved unofficially, but that I could count on him. Within a few more days, it was officially confirmed by his alternate lender. He stood by us the entire time. His team was super responsive and detailed. And we ended up getting the mortgage at a very good rate.
In a way, this review shortchanges Cohen Financial because I’m leaving out all of the specific times Mark and his team stepped in to get us what we wanted and needed. Mark’s energy, insight and “can get it done” capability is obvious from the first 5 minutes you speak with him. He has connections with dozens of lenders and can get you deep and detailed information from them while you are on the phone with him. It’s a continuous display of extreme competence.
