Testimonials

I was first introduced to Brian and Good Neighbor Mortgage & Realty in 2005. At that time I worked for a large wholesale lender and serviced his account. I loved working on Brian’s loans because he was so thorough and straight forward.  He always gave his clients the best pricing available and never over charged which was quite a contrast from most other mortgage brokers.

When my mother was trying to purchase a home I immediately thought of Brian.  With his help she closed escrow on time with rock bottom fees and a great loan product.  She has since used Brian for all of her refinances and we have recommended him to countless friends and family.

The time finally came when my husband and I were ready to purchase our 1^st home. Of course, I called Brian to be our Realtor and loan agent. He literally worked with us for over 2 years as we searched for a home in a very volatile housing market.  Brian made it so easy walking us through our finances and down payment options.  He also offered us several different types of loans and tirelessly showed us property after property until we found the one that was right for us.  He was able to get us into a gorgeous home that we could afford with a loan product that we felt comfortable with. He also connected us to professional painting, carpet, and landscape companies.

As if it could get any better than that, we just refinanced with Good Neighbor Mortgage & Realty and saved over $200.00 a month only one year after purchasing our home!  Brian is a valuable colleague in the industry and I will continue to refer people to him every day!

I purchased my home in March 2011 with Kelly Hawthorne as my agent. It was a difficult transaction as the listing agent was very confrontational, but Kelly maintained her professionalism throughout the process and made certain that my interests were best represented. Kelly always made herself available to answer any questions and it was comforting to know that she was in my corner fighting on my behalf. Her personal touch, market knowledge, and use of cutting edge technology combined to create a confident and positive buying experience.

Then just 4 months later, the broker, Brian Delbenes contacted me about an amazing refinancing opportunity and locked in my interest rate at a historically low 3.875! I can honestly say that Kelly & Brian really care! They always returned phone calls promptly and are truly a one stop shop for all of my real estate and mortgage needs. It’s because of them that I found my dream home and now have an incredibly low mortgage payment! I couldn’t be happier! Excellent job! (or Thank you Kelly and Brian)

Brian handled the sale and purchase when we moved. He was untiring for the months we spent waffling between improving the old house or buying a new one. We are both perfectionists, and finding an acceptable home to buy took forever. Brian was very patient, finding information on or showing us dozens of homes. He handled a difficult purchase from a reluctant seller perfectly. The negotiations and paperwork went quickly, due to his use of electronic forms. The move went smoothly, with both homes turning over at the same time, on the same day. I wouldn’t consider using anyone else if we ever move again.

Brian’s professionalism and knowledge made me feel at ease with refinancing my home. I have gone through several brokers and real estate agents, but no one has compared to Brian. He worked around my schedule, was e-mail friendly, and closing escrow was a breeze. I was extremely happy with my refinance and will be using Brian for future investments.
