My husband had been off work due to the pandemic so his income could not be considered for our mortgage. Matt and his team were able to find solutions to our problem, and were available outside work hours to help up with questions. This was our first time buying and I highly recommend Megastar.

The Real Deal! I've used Megastar for 2 home loans, both were exceptional experiences. I recommend Megastar because they do exactly what they say they will - find the best rate, no hidden surprises. If you are serious about getting a loan - even if you think you won't qualify, give them a call today - you won't regret. To get the best deal, these folks are real.
