Working with The Lender has been an outstanding experience. We’re fortunate to have Axel De Spain as our AE—he is always available, highly resourceful, and dedicated to finding solutions. I highly recommend working with The Lender, as they offer easy-to-navigate programs and some of the best rates in the market for Non-QM loans.

This was my first experience with TheLender and I am so impressed! The entire team, Sabrina, Caitlin, Diego and Lusine were all amazing! So professional, great communication throughout the entire process and they all showed a vested interest in getting our loan to closing! Cannot wait to do more business with them! Outstanding!!!!!!!

I've been working with the Lender for several years now, I'm extremely happy with their products and their entire team. Pleasure to work with. Always responsive. Specifically my senior account manager Carmine Poliandro, who always makes sure that the entire process runs smoothly, and efficiently. A real Pleasure to work with!

I cannot recommend " The Lender", my account rep Raymond Lorini and their team enough! I've closed several loans with them, but this is the second time they’ve worked their magic for me, and once again, they exceeded all expectations. They previously closed a deal in just 8 days, and this time, they pulled off another incredible closing. The entire team was involved, working seamlessly to ensure everything was completed on time and with absolute professionalism. Their dedication, communication, and efficiency are unmatched. If you need a lender who truly delivers, look no further they are the best in the business! 👏🏡✨ Thank you again for an amazing experience!

This was my first time using TheLender, and I was truly impressed with the level of service and communication throughout the process. Conrad and Igor were great with helping us get the file set up and submitted. Our AM Carmine was truly incredible to work with! He was quick to respond, answer any questions I had, and took the time to show me how to navigate their system. He also assisted with getting UW condition questions addressed and ultimately cleared. What a fantastic experience! Kathy in closing was amazing as well. I look forward to working with them again!

Carmine and Team Express, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional work you continue to deliver. Carmine's professionalism, effectiveness, and dedication to understanding our needs truly stand out. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly. Additionally, Beth and Phil’s availability and genuine care for our business make a significant difference. Knowing they are just a phone call away gives us great confidence in our partnership. Thank you again for your outstanding support!

Jonathan Rodriguez made the lending process incredibly easy and seamless! From start to finish, he was professional, attentive, and always ready to answer any questions I had. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled smoothly and efficiently. His expertise and guidance were invaluable, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and will make the process stress-free, Jonathan is the one to call. Highly recommend!
