My experience working with Stephen was so positive. Stephen and his wife worked hard to get me the best rate for my new home. I would recommend Stephen to anyone. I have referred buyers to him before and will continue to do so.

Steve works hard to make it happen for you. I have had the pleasure of working with Steve for just over a year both on a mortgage, and on a book his is writing with colleagues to make buying and selling real estate more clear for his clients. Not only does he bring his 110% to the table with his clients, he is brilliant at working with his real estate partners for maximum return on their investment during cross promotion.

Steve was very friendly and open and made the first time home buying experience as easy as could be with all his insight and help. He even sends Xmas cards! Highly recommended – excellent service. Thanks so much!

Kevin Gillespie

Steve helped us out with our mortgage when we first bought our house. We weren’t ideal candidates, but he helped us find ways to make the approval happen. He even traveled to meet us when and where it was convenient for us. Now he’s helping us out again, and made us aware of some options we didn’t know about that are going to save us about $300/month. He goes above and beyond, and wants to make sure his clients are in the best possible financial situation they can be in.

Stephen Dainard went above and beyond in any dealings I have had with him. He met my clients at their convenience at their desired location and kept me up to date.
