Maple Tree Funding Customer Reviews

Great experience

Nikki was amazing to work with start to finish. She is a true professional, she answered my questions and explained the process every step of the way. Thank you for everything!

Crystal, Queensbury

Thank You Nikki

As a real estate agent, It’s great when we find a lender who knows how to help clients get to the finish line. Nikki has stepped in on more than one occasion and saved a deal that would not work at other lenders. Nikki cares about her clients and works hard to keep things moving and helping clients understand the process at the same time. I highly recommend Nikki for your future lending needs!

Leslie Seeley, Greenwich, NY

The best experience

As first time home buyers, we had no idea what to expect with the mortgage process. We heard Maple Tree Funding’s radio ad and decided to give them a call and thank GOODNESS we did! Chris Lanzoni was incredible to work with. Every step of the way he guided us. He was so helpful, accommodating, responsive and patient. We cannot say enough good things about him. I highly recommend anyone going through this process get in touch with Chris!

Chelsea & Max Bellinger, Latham, NY

Happy With Our Experience

We are happy with our experience with Maple Tree Funding and with Bill. Bill is a great guy who was always available and ready to answer our questions. This was our first time buying a home and didn’t have much information on the process or what to expect. Bill was kind enough to help us through the steps and inform us on what to expect. He even called after we had moved in to see how we were doing and if we were all settled in.

Heather P.,

She made everything so easy for us to understand & was so patient with us. We are grateful to her for her kindness, knowledge, & efficiency. My husband & I HIGHLY recommend using Maple Tree Funding.

Absolutely Wonderful

We just purchased our very first home and we decided to go with Maple Tree Funding after interacting with 3 other lenders. I was very happy with Maple Tree. They are absolutely wonderful, helpful, informative and thorough through the whole process, start to finish. Not only that, we were able to close quickly and move in. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking to purchase a home!

Brian Nester,

The Best Experience

From day one, James Teele made our experience one that was enjoyable. We talked daily and he always kept us in the loop through text, call and email. He explained everything thoroughly to me. When some unexpected bumps in the road happened, James worked tirelessly to make sure we were still on track to get our house. He calmed my nerves multiple times and truly was one of the best parts of buying our house! I would recommend him to anyone.

There are no words to express our gratitude for both Bill and Maple Tree Funding. Bill made our home purchase so delightful and is just a wonderful person to work with. Thank you Bill and Maple Tree Funding for all that you have done. Great company!!

Rebecca, Granville, NY

Great Refinance

Worked with Scot to refinance our mortgage. Scot did an excellent job explaining our options and how the process would go. Amazing job considering it was all done under the COVID stay at home time period. Scot and others at Maple Tree Funding were quick to answer questions when we had them and helped us stay on top of everything so the refi went through relatively quickly. We’re quite happy with the results and will definitely recommend Maple Tree Funding to anybody that asks.

Greg I., Colonie

Refinance

Great Job – Mortgage Refinance

I wanted to tell you what a great job Bill Hoogkamp did in helping me with my recent mortgage refinance.

I found Bill to be very knowledgeable and to have a very friendly and helpful personality. He represents your company very well.

There were so many details I needed help with. Bill was very patient and helpful throughout the entire process.

I would definitely recommend Maple Tree Funding to any of my friends.

John F., Delmar, NY

The Absolute BEST!

Marty and his team are the absolute BEST! I had a VERY complicated file and didn’t think it would be possible to buy a home. I contacted several other lenders who took one look at my info and wouldn’t give me the time of day. Marty, however, walked me through everything I needed to do, even before I applied for any mortgage. And, once I was able to apply, he helped me through every step of the way. I cannot thank him enough for helping to make our dream come true.

Faith & Sean, Schenectady, NY

Thank you Marty and the rest of your staff for all the hard work you put into our loan. You were able to get us financing when a previous lender was unable to.

Diligent from Start to Finish

Tracy M., Hadley, NY

1st Time Process Stress Free

This was the 1st house we have bought but not the 1st time with the process. Jim kept everything stress free (that is why we stayed and moved forward). This process wasn’t an easy one, the seller and his people made the process very hard for Jim, we had no idea what was taking place until the closing (and I’m sure we don’t know the half of it). Jim made sure our interests were protected and made buying a home for us a calm and exciting time. Thank you Jim!

Mary and Dan G, Greenfield

Outstanding Service

Jim Teele Worked with us to get our house. He was outstanding. I have referred people to him, he is an asset to Maple Tree Funding.

Phenomena Throughout the Process.

We recently closed on a house in Granville NY, using Maple Tree Funding and Flag Star Bank. We were working with Jim Teele in your office in Queensbury, and I thought some feedback was appropriate.

Jim was phenomenal throughout the process. Our funding application had some rocky patches, but Jim was there every step of the way. I will freely admit there were several spots where we were ready to throw it in, and walk away. Jim talked us down each time, explaining it was part of the process, and that he would not have moved forward initially if he did not think that we would be successful. His professionalism and dedication to the process were tremendous, and in the end, he was right…it all worked out. I cannot say enough good things about Jim and the work that he did. He’s a stellar employee, and I am glad to have worked through this process with him.

Matt & JoAnn R., Granville, NY

Above and Beyond
