As a business owner it can be a struggle getting a traditional home loan. I was searching on Grok and Griffin Funding came up. I was skeptical at first, but gave them a call and the whole process was super easy and now I'm in my new home! Jack Iwamoto called me immediately and helped walk me through the process. I never write reviews, but this time it's worth it! I did a bank statement loan, and it was the easiest loan process I've ever had. Also a thanks to Adriana!
As a business owner that's been reinvesting heavily into the business for the last 18 months, they were able to get me a HELOC based on credit and revenue which was fantastic. After getting jerked around by a bunch of other lenders and wasting tons of time, I wasn't too confident to be honest. But my loan officer Ryan was awesome and they had the whole thing done and funded faster than others even told me what docs they wanted from me.
Once again, for the 5th time Shelly, Justin, Ashleigh and their team came through without a glitch. I had 2 weeks to close on my new purchase, and the professional high standard team flawlessly executed. It is comforting to know that this team can be called upon and trusted to close on time, without surprises, and smoothly. Thank you Justin for working tirelessly on the numbers, Shelly for constant communication with myself and all other parties involved, all 3 of you for the elite execution.
Have had a fantastic experience dealing with Griffin Funding, Inc. , and especially with Andre Shmoldas. He did a phenomenal job with a very complicated and complex scenario of mine, and got my family into our dream home in record time. Out of 5 Stars, I give him a ten or higher!!! Thank you so much to all at Griffin Funding that helped make this happen for our family. Can’t wait to send others your way!!!
I had a great experience working with Guy and NIna at Griffin Funding on my refinance. From the initial quote all the way through closing, they were professional, transparent, responsive, and very efficient.The entire process was smooth, and the communication from the team was excellent. I really appreciated how quickly they responded whenever I had a question.Highly recommend Guy and Griffin Funding. Definitely a 5-star experience!
Guy and Nina did an outstanding job helping me with my DSCR cash-out refinance on my investment property. They listened carefully to what I needed, made smart adjustments to meet my goals, and kept everything moving smoothly. We closed much faster than I expected. Highly recommend them if you’re looking for a knowledgeable and responsive team that actually delivers.
Joe Yaeger and the team at Griffin Funding made my recent refinance a seamless experience. Joe is extremely knowledgeable, keeps you updated every step of the way, and truly looks out for his clients. 5/5 stars—I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again!
I worked with Gabe and Liz at Griffin Funding on a DSCR loan for an investment property, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. DSCR loans can get complicated, but they broke everything down clearly and made the whole process feel straightforward. They were responsive whenever I had questions and kept things moving efficiently. If you’re looking for a team that knows investment property financing and makes it easy, I’d highly recommend Gabe and Liz at Griffin Funding.
My 3rd loan with Griffin and the best experience yet. Andre Schmoldas and Jessie Kemer handled my DSCR cash-out refi flawlessly — I closed remotely while on vacation, they answered every question fast (even on a holiday weekend), and Jessie personally tracked the wire until funds hit my account. Professional, responsive, and they treat your deal like their own. Highly recommend — I’ll be back for loan #4.
Shout out to Nate and PJ at Griffin funding on assisting me with successfully refinancing my home mortgage. They were both professional and very available to answer questions and help guide me through the process. Thanks very much Nate and PJ.
Marina and Shell handled my refi with total professionalism. Knowledgeable, efficient, and helpful the whole way through. Two of the best brokers I've worked with. If you need a loan, check with them first. Highly recommended!
We recently closed on a HELOC with Griffin, after struggling to find the right fit for our needs with other lenders. Justin was great at answering my questions from the very beginning (there were many), and Shell truly went above and beyond to ensure the finalization of our loan, as well as answered very many of my questions throughout the process too. She was always speedy with her replies and quick to find solutions to any issues, whether proactively or as they were presented. We are incredibly grateful for her and everyone else at Griffin who made this possible - Thank you!!!
We just bought an investment property with Griffin Funding and we were highly impressed. Such a great experience working with Liz and Maeghan! They were wonderful and made the process so seamless. They were lovely to chat with on the phone when we had questions and so quick to respond via email. I would highly recommend them to anyone and would love to work with them again!
Malik Abiola was my loan officer. He did a GREAT job in helping me navigate the lending options for the self-employed! He was very knowledgeable & very quick to respond with my questions. He went above & beyond to make sure I had great options to choose from & I really appreciate all that he's done for me!
I highly recommend Griffin, especially if you're self employed and make enough money but have a hard time showing it. We ran into income verification challenges at our local bank, but the professionals at Griffin (Guy & Nina) were able to use our business bank statements to make things work. It was fast and painless, terms were great too. I was super impressed! Give them a try
I had the pleasure of working with Sarah, Nina, and Nick during the purchase of my home, and I couldn't have asked for a better team. They were responsive, communicative, and professional throughout the entire process. They kept me informed every step of the way, answered all of my questions promptly, and made the home-buying experience much less stressful. Their expertise and dedication were evident from start to finish. I highly recommend Sarah, Nina, and Nick to anyone looking for a smooth and positive home-buying experience!
I had the best experience with Bill, Taylor, Trey, Ashley, and Nina at Griffin! They were incredibly thoughtful with the entire process, leaving no stone unturned as I went through my first home purchase. It's such a big purchase that you want a great team behind you and every single person treated me as though I was their most important client. I couldn't be happier with the competitive loan they offered and how seamless the process was. Especially on a tight turnaround! Great job, team! I'll definitely send others your way!
I just want to share that I had the best experience doing a refinance with Griffin Funding. I had looked at other lending institutions that were not very helpful. The loan officers at Griffin Funding were very accessible, with a nice attitude and also kept informing me of the process almost daily. They responded to emails promptly and overall made the process very smooth and a felt they were trustworthy every step of the way. I recommend this lending institution with a big smile on my face and lots of gratitude. Thank you Shahla, Molly and Valerie, you all are a super team!
I’ve closed numerous loans and HELOCS with other lenders. But wow, my experience with Lauren Swartz and Nina couldn’t have been smoother or faster. From start of application to loan funding was a week. I will be doing more deals with them in the future.
The team at Griffin Funding is professional and exceptional! They answered all of my questions in a timely manner, were readily available every time they were needed, and they helped make this process expedient and relatively stress-free. I would definitely work with them again, and I highly recommend them to others as well, especially business owners.
We had the pleasure of working with Deanna, Gabe, and Liz on a recent DSCR loan. It was a great experience with very little friction. We are planning on using them again on our next deal.
The entire process was great. Megan & Liz did an excellent job getting my loan approved. The communication was outstanding and I would highly recommend them to any business owner looking to obtain a mortgage or HELOC.
Gabe, Samara, and Liz were fantastic to work with on my rental property refinance. They made everything simple, answered all my questions, and helped the whole process go smoothly.
I contacted Griffin Funding after being rejected by so many lenders. Immediately, Marina and Shahla became engaged with my file and worked tirelessly until the loan was funded!They were relentless in their efforts to bring the loan to closing while displaying excellent customer service, support, and patience with my bad jokes.They answered every question I had and kept me fully informed during the challenging process of getting my loan approved as a self-employed individual.A heartfelt thank you to the entire team!
Guy Troxler is the best mortgage broker I have dealt with ever. Process is so easy especially for a self employed person that encounters so many obstacles to securing mortgage funding. Griffin Funding will remain my go to mortage company.
I had the pleasure of working with Brian Johnson, Liz Singer, Brandon McCoy and Deanna Griffin on the purchase of multiple investment property in just this year 2026. They have been more than outstanding, responsive, executed the process smoothly and closing on time. If you want a truly personalized team towards your goal and not a cookie cutter bank response, highly recommend to try them !!!
I've worked with Griffin on two separate refinances now, with Guy as my main point of contact, and Nina and Ashley providing assistance. Both times, this team adapted to my communication preferences, stayed consistently responsive, and followed through. They are also great with self-employed borrowers. If we refinance again in the future, they'll be the first folks I reach out to.
This was my second home loan from Griffin Funding. Jack and Adriana were complete rock stars all the way through the process and made sure all the numbers added up and we closed early. If you are doing a bank statement loan this is the company to work with! The process was easier the 2nd time around as well! Great Job!
We had a great experience with the Griffin Funding team. We needed a bank statement loan to refinance our home. From the time we contacted Griffin until the day the funds were issued, we had phenomenal service. The patience that Charles Toll had with us as we contemplated options was amazing and very much appreciated. His knowledge and recommendations were valuable! Then, with the help of Liz Singer and Andre Shmoldas we quickly completed all of the needed paperwork. Overall, we are very satisfied with the options, support, service, & rates offered by Griffin. I would highly recommend them and would use them again if the need arises.
Justin, Shell and everyone else at Griffin Funding were amazing from start to finish. This is our 4th DSCR loan with Griffin Funding and we keep coming back to use them for a reason. Every deal is a smooth, seamless, quick, and efficient processs. Roadblocks happen throughout everytime, but they have an uncanny ability to navigate through them and adapt to every issue to achieve the end state of closing on an investment property on the terms that make sense to us. I can’t say enough about Griffin Funding. Highly recommend.
Working with Griffin Funding's team , Greg, Jeanne and Nick was a great experience. They were attentive , knowledgeable and friendly as well as professional. As a veteran I greatly appreciated their depth of knowledge regarding VA loans and could not have asked for a better team of people to help me with my home loan requirements. Thank you!!
I contacted Griffin Funding last on a Friday after finding the house I wanted to purchase, and then found out my lender wasn't able to understand my S-Corp income to get my pre-approval underwritten. Madison Manna called and text with me, and confirmed a bank statement loan could work for me. By Monday evening, I was able to make the offer... and last Wednesday, I closed! Every step of the process has been smooth and stress free. Andromeda was my account manager and Deanna was my senior loan processor. They were easy to communicate with. Highly recommend them!
I was running into issue after issue with my new purchase due to being self-employed. After some research, I decided to reach out to Griffin. I was a little skeptical about bank statement loans, but thought it was worth a shot. I’m really glad that I did.Great job by all!Despite being on a short turnaround,James and his team (Lisa and Molly),were able to get me approved and closed in a short amount of time. If you are having trouble obtaining a mortgage as a self-employed person, I would highly recommend James and his team at Griffin.
Very awesome people! I worked with Scott and Christine and they were very knowledge and responsive when it came to questions (and those around a VA Loan). They helped me secure a mortgage for the amount I was looking for. Thank you!!!
