Unbelievable service. Rich goes above and beyond to help in what can be such a complicated transaction. He was extremely responsive and I can honestly say that the mortgage part of our purchase was the most simple and stress free. I recommend him to EVERYONE!

Rich and his team are not just experts, but they also simplify the whole process. At closing my attorney said “I wish all lenders were as buttoned up as TotalMortgage.” It was a pleasure working with them !

This is the 4th loan I have gotten through Richard Breed and his team and I can't say enough about how excellent they are! From early conversations all the way through processing and closing, communication was prompt and consistent. All dates and expectations were met or exceeded without need for my reminders or follow-up. I could not ask for more or better; HIGHLY recommend!!

Rich was the absolute best mortgage banker i could have ever asked for! He was thorough in his emails, broke down every piece of the loan prices, and was so kind and happy to speak over the phone whenever we had further questions. i could never say enough amazing things about Rich, he single-handedly made this process as easy as possible. His hard work and dedication did not ever go unnoticed and there was not a single time that he was not available or easy to contact with questions. i am forever grateful for Rich and his team!
