Client Testimonials

What My Clients Say

Denise Panza is awesome. One word awesome! I needed to undergo a medical procedure and needed some financial security. I needed a backup plan, so I asked about a HELOC. My hometown bank would not give me funding because of my most recent tax returns were not filed. I explained that to Denise and with absolute confidence, she put my worries to rest. Within a few short days she closed my loan.

First and foremost I would like to thank God and Denise Panza for everything that was accomplished throughout this process. Denise went out of her way and I am very grateful and thankful for everything that Denise has done throughout this journey of purchasing a home. She kept on pushing and encouraging me to continue even through points I was ready to give up. I am very grateful she kept pushing me or else none of this would have been able to be possible. I would also like to give a big thank you to Jessica Matthews as well for all of her hard work as well. Without you guys none of this would be able to be possible. If I was able to give more stars I would! I highly recommend! Thank you very much. Carlos Espinal.
