I recently had the pleasure of working with Mike Koran from Primary Residential Mortgage Inc. on a duplex loan, and I am glad to share my exceptional experience. From the beginning, Mike demonstrated a level of professionalism and dedication that is truly commendable. He took on a loan for a challenging property that had been vacant for decades. Throughout the process, Mike went above and beyond to ensure that the funding was secured promptly and efficiently. His deep understanding of the lending landscape and ability to navigate complex financial scenarios was evident, providing me and the listing agent with confidence. What truly sets Mike apart is his proactive communication and personalized approach. He took the time to understand my client's needs and was patient enough to work at the borrower's pace. Mike was always available to answer questions and provide updates, making the process seamless. I wholeheartedly recommend Mike Koran and Primary Residential Mortgage Inc. to anyone needing a reliable and exceptional lending partner, especially for properties that do not qualify for traditional financing. His expertise and commitment to client success make them stand out in the industry.

I highly recommend Mike and his team. It was my first home purchase and I had lots of questions throughout the process. I was impressed every step of the way how both Mike and Andrew were thorough and patient explaining every question I asked them about the process. They were super responsive both over email and over the phone. And every step of the way I was given visibility into next steps and the timeline surrounding closing. The loan was the best rate out there. I'll definitely be returning next time I'm looking for a loan. I can't imagine better service. Thank you!

We had some challenges and I recall we had a conversation that was just a game changer for my husband and I. We kept our loyalty to Mike and his team and in return he was able to help us out in an unexpected way. We really felt the value to stay and continue that loyalty to him.
