Academy Mortgage – Scottsdale

What more can I say about my experience with Bryan Nuorala? He helped me with my initial loan, as well as my refinance. With my original loan, we closed in less than 28 days! The realtors were blown away. He is prompt with responses, and my initial interest rate was even better than we initially expected. Will use again for sure.

I recommend them. I was told by my loan officer Javi Sanchez that «we get loans done and we get them done quick» that explains them to a T. Efficient, knowledgable and even more exited about you getting a house than you are. It’s not fake because their making money either. There’s no way to fake the funk on 2 – 5 phone calls a day for a month plus. These people are happy for you and happy to help. Javi Sanchez and his assistant Kenny Brosh were the two main people working on my loan. I had a special work circumstance with mainly commission income. I did not believe I could get into a house. I consulted with Javi. He brought my information to his boss Jake Krabbe (leader of the squad) and they were confident enough for me to start the process. Side note just six months earlier I had been rejected on a loan because of my work circumstance.
Academy Mortgage built a solid case for me to the underwriter. Kenny was in daily contact with me for letters of explanations and documents that he needed. I always got everything back to them in a timely manner. My file got a super quick final approval with the underwriting dept. I couldn’t be more please with my service. The communication the attentiveness. I will recommend them to anyone.

Brandon Arter and his team at Academy Mortgage in Scottsdale were simply too wonderful for words. From initial contact to closing, the experience was phenomenal with regular updates and allowing for multiple questions.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Scott and all the others at Academy Mortgage made our first loan process a breeze! I will be referring all our friends to them when they are in need of a loan. Thanks for all your help!

Brandon was awesome! We tried to do a refi with another company before Academy and it went horribly wrong. Brandon and the team were amazing and were able to still get it done for us. Communication was on point and the whole process was super easy. Will highly recommend!

We have used this branch of Academy Mortgage– and specifically Bryan Nuorala– for both refinancing a home, and for a new home purchase. Bryan is very helpful and knowledgeable about the processes involved and was always available for our questions. He even reached out to us after we had moved into our new home to see if there was anything else he could assist with. He is a top-​notch mortgage broker.

Kengo Sun was extremely helpful in explaining the process to me. He kept in touch often so I always knew what was happening. He treated me like a friend!

This was a painless process. Doris Martinez was great. Always quick to respond. So helpful and knowledgeable.

A couple of years ago I bought a new home with the help of Todd Revenig and Academy Mortgage in Scottsdale. I had previously lost a home due to the financial slowdown and job loss in 2008. Todd helped my family get into a home without making us feel like complete losers. We have been in our new home for two years and are very happy! If anyone can guide you in your home buying process it is Todd. A great guy who will help in any way possible. By far my best experience dealing with anyone in the lending business.

I just wrapped up working with Brandon Aiello at Academy Mortgage. He helped me with getting a mortgage on our house. This isn’t just any regular mortgage, this was one where I just shut down the unsuccessful company I was running after 3 years and just started a new job within the last year. If you have tried to get home financing before, that is an almost impossible situation to get approved.
Brandon is such an expert on all the different programs borrowers can qualify for and was able to get us our loan when a bank couldn’t make it happen. Now he isn’t a miracle worker, I did have 2x the equity in house than the loan I was getting, but that is a useless point if a bank won’t get past your job history and they try to deduct your current income by the amount your closed business lost in the previous year.
To many readers of this review, what I just explained may not make sense, to a business owner, this review makes all the sense in the world.
If Brandon can handle my complicated home loan, he can certainly your situation, call the office and ask for him!

Really about a 2 ½. We t to Academy on the recommendation of my real estate agent. Probably a mistake. The loan officer never met me even once throughout the whole process. Everything was on the phone or via email. I even took papers to his office 4’times and he was never there — not in yet, went to the gym, is in the bathroom, etc. not very professional. Did everything get done on time? Yes. For me, that’s the minimum I have a right to expect. Fees are expensive compared to my eight other purchases, but this is the first in Arizona, so maybe they are in line with the area. I’m just disappointed that my loan officer seemed to work overtime avoiding me. I can’t recommend this company.

I just recently purchased a home here in Phoenix, with many thanks to Brandon Arter on the Jake Krabbe team at Academy Mortgage. While I work in IT now, many years ago I was in the mortgage industry myself, having been a loan processor, notary, and even a loan officer for almost 10 years. Brandon at Academy was extremely professional and knowledgeable. From the starting pre-​qualification phase all the way to closing, he was communicative, honest, and very helpful. Not only did he do exactly what he said he would, he gave me great pricing, and everything at closing was exactly as had been agreed upon — no surprises. In fact, he was even able to push the process along to allow us to close early! Would definitely use again and would recommend them to any family or friends. Thanks Brandon!

Jim Barker, Debbie Wilson and Ashley Ford. Avoid! My loan went pass the date and the sellers are pissed and put in a 3 day cure notice. Now they are asking for items that they should of asked for weeks ago. I don’t think they even open the Email that I sent them, unprofessional and I will probably lose this house and money because of there mistakes. Process was the worst, thank God we got the house

My experience with Dean Wegner and his colleagues at Academy Mortgage was absolutely exceptional from start to finish! Dean kept me well informed during my loan process and he found a loan that suited my unique needs. (I had a short sale 4 yrs ago.) He was always available and made sure I understood the whole process and answered my questions thoroughly and timely. The personalized videos of my loan’s progress was fabulous. I loved them and they are so unique and I have never seen anything like them. Dean is amazing and I be back when I have any other mortgage needs and I will also refer anyone who will listen how great I was treated and how satisfied I am with my loan. Thanks much for everything!
