We worked with Tom on our home purchase, he was always available to help us out and answer all our questions. His rates are always cheaper when compared with others. We purchased our first home with Tom and this is our second home and Tom is our Go-To guy. He is always reachable and we even had calls at night 11pm and he was always there for our questions to answer. Their process is very simple and if you have all the documents in place, Tom can close the loan real quick. Since this was our second home with Tom, he closed ou... read more

It was great to work with Tom and his team. I had a good experience and it was very smooth for the most part. Tom called me several times throughout the process to make sure everything was good - This is surprising as he is a SVP and could leave all that work to his team. Tom has been in the business a long time and shows. He knows how to get the best rates and deliver the best service. 

Business response:

It was a true pleasure working with you! I always make sure i make time for my clients and they have a painless experience. Thank you for the kind words. Please call me anytime if you need anything.

I was a first time home buyer, and Tom couldn't have made that stressful process any easier for me. He walked me through every step of the way, and patiently explained every detail to me no matter how many questions I asked, and I asked a lot of questions! Tom also has the best availability of anyone I know. Late nights, weekends, doesn't matter! Tom always answers and is quick to call you back or email you to follow up on something. His whole team is very good about speedy responses, and I know my realtor appreciated that a... read more

Tom was available whenever I needed him. I was able to call him with any questions and being a first time home buyer, he made me feel comfortable with the whole process! I loved that everything could be uploaded online. It is very clear what you need to do and upload and what the next step in the process is. I would highly recommend Tom Lavallee to any first time home buyers who want a supportive lender!

Tom has been the person I trusted to help me with my Mortgage for over 20 yrs. Each refi lowered my interest rate. The last was 2013. Today I called him for advice about getting a mortgage on a house i own. He explained why it would be better to get a home equity line of credit and sent me contact info for a person who handles that type of Loan. I trust Tom to alway do right for his clients 

Business response:

Thank you for trusting me with your mortgage. It has been a pleasure to work with you John and I am always happy to help in every way I possibly can. I appreciate your kind words and look forward to working with you again.
