Mortgage Mitch Client Testimonials
A five-star review is great; what matters more is the person behind it.
These are real experiences from real buyers and homeowners who worked with Mitchell Severance and the Mortgage Mitch team. Different homes. Different goals. Same approach: educate first, communicate often, and make the mortgage experience one worth remembering.
Turning a First Mortgage Into Something Easy to Understand
“Mortgage Mitch and team provided clarity around the process for me as a first-time homebuyer. In addition to informative videos at each step, the team took time to call and clear up any questions or concerns. Timely response and genuine care for me made this process much easier and quicker than anticipated.” — Matthew Croyle, Google
The Challenge
Matthew was buying his first home and needed clarity around a process that was completely new to him.
How Mitch Helped
Mitch provided education throughout the mortgage process, not just at the beginning. Matthew received informative videos at each step, and the team took time to call, answer his questions, and address his concerns.
The Outcome
Matthew described the process as easier and quicker than he anticipated, specifically crediting the team’s timely responses and genuine care. That’s our education-first lending in action.
Personalized Help From Application to Closing
“Mitchell and his team provided exceptional, highly personalized assistance beginning with our mortgage application, all the way through the process to the successful closing on our future home. They kept us informed each step of the way, and anticipated our needs in a manner that instilled peace of mind for us.” — Greg Telecsan, Google
The Challenge
Greg and his family needed a team that could guide their mortgage from the initial application through closing without leaving them wondering what was happening.
How Mitch Helped
Greg says the team kept them informed at every step and anticipated their needs throughout the process.
The Outcome
Their mortgage closed successfully, but Greg highlighted something equally important: the way the team handled the process gave them peace of mind.
A First-Time Buyer Who Always Knew What Came Next
“Mitchell and his team were wonderful! As a first-time home buyer, it was nice to know I was not alone in the process. They were prompt with their communications and clear on everything that was needed during the process. Would recommend to anyone, especially first-time buyers!” — Kate Gibson
The Challenge
Kate was buying her first home and learning what needed to happen along the way.
How Mitch Helped
The team communicated promptly and made the requirements clear throughout the mortgage process.
The Outcome
Kate had such a positive experience that she specifically recommended the team to other first-time buyers.
A Million Questions Are Welcome Here
“Mitchell absolutely made my fiancé's and my experience 10x easier! We had a million questions every day, and he answered everything with patience and great information. Super great communication and truly felt like he cared for us! 10/10 experience with Mitchell!” — Maddie Morrell, Google
The Challenge
Maddie and her fiancé had questions. Lots of them. And that's completely normal.
How Mitch Helped
Maddie says Mitch patiently answered their questions, provided helpful information, communicated consistently, and made the entire experience easier.
The Outcome
Her takeaway went beyond whether the mortgage went smoothly. She said she truly felt like Mitch cared about them. That’s the kind of experience we're trying to create every time.
Finding a Solution That Worked After Closing, Too
“My husband and I can’t say enough about Mitchell Severance and his team! They helped us navigate challenges with ease and create solutions that worked, allowing us to purchase our home and comfortably afford it. This team is top-notch! Thank you so much for your hard work and care!” — Lori Mohler, Google
The Challenge
Lori and her husband encountered challenges while trying to purchase their home. Whatever mortgage solution they chose needed to do more than get them approved; it needed to leave them comfortable living with the payment afterward.
How Mitch Helped
Mitch and Lynn worked through those challenges and created solutions that fit their situation.
The Outcome
They were able to purchase their home and, in Lori’s words, “comfortably afford to live.” Getting the keys is important. Feeling good about the mortgage after you get them is even more important.
