“We worked with Mike on our first Mortgage and two refinances- he is not only great at what he does, he is kind and explains everything in clear detail so that we could understand and make the best choices for us. We have saved so much money refinancing our loan. We would not only use Mike and Birchtree Mortgage again, but recommend him to all of our friends who are first time home buyers.”
“Mike at Birchtree Mortgage knocked it out of the park with us. While we were house hunting and submitting offers to purchase, Mike was incredibly prompt (responsive within hours, day or night) and informative in assisting us with obtaining pre-approval letters tailored for each offer. Once we had an offer accepted, Mike’s services continued to impress us with his ability to secure a mortgage loan with favorable interest rates during the height of economic uncertainty of COVID-19 shutdown. Despite the Fed dropping interest rates to nearly 0%, during the days leading up to our closing, we saw some volatility in mortgage lending rates, especially to younger folks, and our success in obtaining an excellent interest rate was a direct result of Mike’s calm confidence and extensive knowledge of the industry, and relationships with lenders. Beyond securing the loan, Mike assisted us in brokering the relationships between us and our attorney (during a very busy time for everyone involved) to ensure all the proper paperwork was in place to support the close date, which we met in a drive through, socially distanced manner - thanks to Mike! He provides nothing less than an outstanding service to a prospective borrower, and ensured that we felt well-informed and taken care of during every step in the home-buying process - definitely above and beyond the services we had even hoped for! We will definitely return to Birchtree Mortgage for a subsequent mortgage arrangement.”
“We partnered with Mike Richton to purchase our dream home in what turned out to be an extremely challenging transaction... Mike was of unwavering support in every step of the way, and went above and beyond to make it easier on us and to get us the very best deal for a mortgage. He was outstandingly straightforward, cordial and quick, both to respond to our needs and questions as well as to get done IMMEDIATELY what needed to get done. All that notwithstanding, he was also able to make happen in such a way that allowed us to keep our previous home and make it a rental property - something that no other mortgage broker was able to do. We couldn’t be more satisfied with the service provided by Birchstreet Mortgage and would wholeheartedly recommend his services to our closest friends and family and pretty much anyone else!!”
