AGENT TESTIMONIALS

Wow, what can I say?? Thank you for making our transactions run so smoothly! I am so lucky to have you as part of my real estate arsenal. Thank you for going above and beyond the call of duty when we needed you most. There is no doubt that we ended up with the Mezzanine house (being one of 9 offers) because you went the extra mile and called on my clients behalf making the listing agent and sellers feel very comfortable choosing our offer over any of the others. My clients always felt they could call you at any time to explain to them the next step in the loan process. This is so important when working with first time home buyers. You have a knack for laying everything out on paper so that they can clearly see what their budget is and see where they are most comfortable with their payments, etc. This in turn, makes for happy clients to work with and clients that I'm sure will come back to you when a re-fi or a new purchase is needed. Your staff is wonderful to work with as well, making your team a complete Slam Dunk! Can't wait to work wth you again in the future. I look forward to many more smooth transactions to come!

Warmly,

Stephanie is such an important part of my business. I always feel like she is in my team trying to put the deals together, negotiate together, and close/celebrate together. She always takes care of my clients all around; she is not only professional and work with high standard, but also always happy, energetic, positive, and smiling, which make me and clients LOVE HER as a person. My client went through some horrifying experience with their previous agent, lender, as well as escrow officer working too closely together. So by the time they came to me, they were very skeptical and had a trust issue as this was their first time purchasing a house. Stephanie took time, talk to them, comfort them, and helped them every step of the way. Without the professional service and effort Stephanie and Danielle put for this transaction, I truly believe that they are not a happy homeowner today. THANK YOU and 100s more referrals to follow!

Working with Ken and his Team was a pleasure. Communication was always efficient, clear, and timely. My clients couldn't have been happier working with Ken and the RPM mortgage team. In such a competitive market with so many buyers out shopping, I'm happy to say that Ken pulled the loan through, in the time he said he would, and my clients are now happy new home owners. As an agent, I've seen too many Loans fall apart, so I can truly appreciate a team with such a high success rate. Thank you Ken!

Dear Ken,
I would like to thank you and Danielle for the incredible perseverance, diligence and tremendous effort to help to put a VA buyer into her first home. It was indeed a tough transaction as there were so many hurdles to overcome. But the bottom line is, the transaction would not have closed without the teamwork of Martello and Green. Throughout the entire transaction, I interfaced with each and everyone on your team. Whenever the buyer or I reached out to your office, your team knew about the file and was always willing to jump in and help. Your constant communication, prompt responses and your knowledge on how to close a VA loan is to be commended. Further, the amount of time, including after hours, sick days, weekends and holidays that you and Danielle especially spent on this file is much appreciated. It truly made the difference! I would absolutely recommend Martello & Green to any buyer looking for an honest, ethical and knowledgeable lender. Please feel free to share this email. I look forward to working with all of you again.

Thanks,

Dear Ken, Danielle & Kyla:
How do I thank you enough for the absolutely great job you did on Pelham in 30 days. To say the least, you did a great job - almost a miracle! I can not thank you enough.

Thank you, Stephanie, for the lovely note you sent me. I so deeply appreciated it - you have no idea.

What a great team you have! I hope I can work with you again soon. Let me know when we can get together. This week is a little busy, but next week looks great!

Dear Ken, Danielle & Kyla:
I have no words to express my gratitude for the great job you guys did with my transaction. The support and assistance you all bring to my clients and me is very much appreciated. The entire process ran smooth because the information and detail you brought to the table since day one.

The process of looking for a home and finding out details about the seller’s needs was easier because Ken knew many of the agents listing the properties that my clients were interested in. Those conversations after business hours that he had with some of them really showed me how powerful is to have an inside lender to help an agent in his office.

I can’t underscore the open channel of communication between Danielle and my clients on my behalf when I was unavailable. The presence of Kyla at the office at 8 am when nobody was there was without a doubt helpful because she graciously helped me to contact Ken or forward information to my clients before our busy day started. The process was easy because of all of you. Thank you very much for the support and help you all offer to my clients and me.

Sincerely,

My name is Valerie Flagg and I am the branch manager for Beach Community Escrow. I have been in the Real Estate business for over 15 years. Over those years I have encountered my share of Mortgage Brokers and Lenders. When my husband and I were finally ready to make the decision to purchase a home I had many choices to choose from of who we would like to use for our loan. Sure there are Lenders and Mortgage Brokers that will promise you the world to use them and then you get so deep in the process that you cannot turn back you find yourself stuck and asking yourself what have I done?

Being that RPM Mortgage dba Platinum Capital and Beach Community Escrow are strategic partners and preferred providers we work very closely together. We go hand in hand. RPM does the loan and Beach Community Escrow does the escrow. Every single loan that I have personally worked on with Ken Martello and his team was seamless and smooth. I knew that Ken Martello and his team where the ones that I wanted to handle my personal loan.

Beginning in May of 2010, I came to Ken and told him that I was ready to buy. He guided me through the entire process and told me exactly to the “t” what I needed to do to put myself in the best possession to get the best interest rate. I followed his advice and everything that he promised came thru.

My loan was filled with HUGE credit issues, last minute guideline changes and at one point I was not sure if I was going to be able to close escrow as loan procedures were constantly changing. I was afraid that I was going to lose my dream home. Ken NEVER gave up. He diligently and relentless worked night and day and even had the president of the bank on the phone to assist us in the road blocks that we continuously seemed to hit.

Ken was anticipating the arrival of his first child during my transaction and even with all that was going on in his personal life, Ken made sure that the ball was never dropped on my loan. Even while is wife was in labor he was in contact with me and because of him and his staff I am now a proud first time home buyer and Ken is the proud owner of a new son, Roman.

I can not thank Ken and his staff enough for what he did for me and my family. I recommend him and his staff to my clients and family! If Ken says he will get your loan closed, then it will GET CLOSED!

Sincerely,
Proud First Time Home Owner

I have been working with Ken for years now and he and his team have always come through for me. What I love most about Ken is his communication every step of they way. He is always available to me and I'm never left guessing what is happening with the transaction which helps me keep my clients informed and happy. Not only do I refer my clients to Ken and his team, but I use him to do my personal loans as well!

Ken and his team provide first class service like no other lending team I know. In today's market you don't just need a good team of real estate professionals you need a great team! Actions speak louder than words and though I cannot praise Ken and his team enough, at the end of the day they do what they say they will do and they have closed loans when other lenders have thrown in the towel (mid-transaction!!!). Working with Ken and his team is stress free for me as the agent, and more importantly, it is a stress free transaction for my clients. It is a pleasure working with them I truly cannot praise this team enough!

If you want to buy a home from Jamar Jackson at Keller Williams Southbay, you have to go through Ken or Stephanie at Platinum Capital. If not, I will not move forward with any buyer in the transaction... Nice knowing you.

I am the real estate expert and I've seen clients choose the lender end up sleeping in motels because the lender they chose told them they would close and guess what happened? The Lender stopped answering the phone on the 37th day in escrow. These two professionals have closed every buyer I have given them in record time. They have a wonderful team of attractive young ladies who assist them to keep the deal flowing smoothly. Choosing either is a guarantee you will be moving soon. So put on your seat belt and get in escrow to close and that's a promise.

From the moment I spoke with Stephanie about my client’s needs, I felt at ease and comfortable. The entire process which included meeting and gathering information from my clients through closing the loan was smooth. Most importantly, Stephanie and her team were able to deliver on a short sale transaction that was up against a hard closing date, without my clients and I having to worry. I can’t say enough about her professionalism and I look forward to working with her in the future.

Dear Stephanie,
I just wanted to write a letter thanking you for doing an outstanding job on the Sharp purchase. We recorded today and closed 10 days early on this purchase transaction. Even with an investor change because of the property having an unpermitted room, you were able to switch investors seamlessly, protext the client's rate without any delays whatsoever. I will definitely be referring you my business in the future because of your team's great work. Please feel free to use me as a reference if ever needed.

To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to recommend Platinum Capital as my preferred lender referral partner. I always use Ken Martello and Stephanie Green to work with my new clients up front to get fully approved.

They are fantastic with knowing current guidelines and market changes that could benefit my clients.

I have even used them on my listings to review financials of prospective buyers; so that I am assured they do not fall out of escrow and are solid offers.

Platinum Capital has closed 100% of loan transactions that I have referred them. I will continue to use them as my preferred lender of choice.

Thank you,

Dear Stephanie and Ken,
Wow! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and your team. What an experience my client and I had with you on this last transaction. We found a cute house that they fell in love with and it was a multiple offer situation. The Seller was a licensed real estate agent so she knew better than to accept an offer that didn't have solid funding. In our case we needed to do an FHA loan and there were some issues with the property that she knew would be heavily scrutinized. We weren't her first choice but she really wanted to sell the house to someone that she liked and the photo of them standing in front of the house that I submitted with the offer helped. I think that since she was moving out of the area, she felt like any delays would help her in packing up etc. Our funding date was the Monday after Thanksgiving and unbelievably, you delivered and without delay. The Seller was so surprised that you were able to navigate the obstacles and close on time, with a major holiday at the end of our transaction and she said that if she was staying in this area, that she would start referring her own clients to you. Thanks for doing a great job and also making me look like a hero for referring my client to you!

Ken & Stephanie have come through for my clients over and over again. The main thing is that I know I can count on them all the time. When I have given them a shaky file or complicated client and they told me they will get the loan, they have produced. I just sent another refferral their way because of that.

I would like to attest that this value-added service that Ken and Stephanie are providing really sets them apart and helps to set us apart as well!

Pete and I went on a listing presentation last night and we brought the below information with us. It is important for the seller to know that an agent selling their home is protecting them right from the beginning. Cross-qualifying is absolutely an integral part of that process. Cross-qualifying also sets us as agents apart from other agents who do not take this ver important step. As we described to the sellers last night that cross-qualifying a buyer and finding out that the buyer then cannot qualify to purchase their home right at the beginning saves them time and money as opposed to finding out one week before close of escrow is to occur. Obviously, if we find out right up front that a buyer cannot qualify, then we are able to move right onto accepting a buyer's offer who can qualify and all is good!

All agents should use this tool as part of their listing presentation. By the way, we got the listing!

Kudos to Stephanie and Ken!

Sincerely,
Dorinda Lugo and Pete Tryce
