I am honored to leave the second review for Michael Gayda. PLease refer to my previous review on 09/2016. I mentioned that I will use him again for my next purchase, I did indeed.

Seamless experience!
Very communicative and quick to respond. Kept the transaction on track.
We had a little hiccup at the end regarding closing mix-up due to appraisal delay, but other than that everything was handled very professionally and things went pretty smoothly throughout the process.
Michael Gayda and his assistant Shannon were the definition of professional. They were quick to respond if I had questions and always kept me informed of what was going on.
Macy and the Oaks Team are the best! Had a few hiccups (unrelated to lending) in our home buying process and they stayed on top of everything. Second time using the Oaks team and first time getting to work with Macy, I cannot reccomend them enough.
It was a very smooth and professional experience. Macy was great to work with, thank you again!
Comminication was clear and steps were very organized. The team made the process easy!
Great experience! Very simple and happy with how flexible you guys were with us being gone a lot.
Tyler was incredibly helpful throughout the process of buying my first home. He was readily available to answer any questions that I had and walk me through the home-buying process. Tyler worked hard to get me the best loan for my situation and close on time.
Oh my gracious, what a help Tyler was to my situation! My realtor didn’t do much in the way of keeping in touch with the lender, so it was up to me. Tyler was very supportive and let me vent when needed. He helped me get everything in order for my loan and was always a pleasure to talk to. He stayed it touch with me a LOT and never made me feel ...
This refinance was seamless! Tyler was always a phone call or text away and made sure we knew what to expect next (silence, so many days for this or that). I wouldn’t dream of doing business elsewhere!
Tyler fell short of NOTHING!! Very professional, down to earth, and understanding! He was at all times only a phone call or text away! My experience with him at OVM was phenomenal from beginning to the end. The end we both got a good kick out of (closing day!) Thank you Tyler for being YOU!
Tyler always answered my calls or texts in a timely manner. He was very helpful and patient with walking us through the homebuying process. Thanks, Tyler!
Made us feel comfortable throughout the process. Tyler kept me informed. He was always available when we had questions. I would 100% recommend him to my close friends and family.
Tyler was very knowledgeable and responsive to all of my questions and concerns. He was very thorough in explaining things to me. He was very friendly and professional in emails and during phone calls.
We had an excellent experience working with Tyler! He was always responsive to our questions. From beginning to end, the experience was really speedy and we were always told what step we were in and what would happen next. The seller had a small closing delay, but we were ready to go on time! We appreciate Tyler helping us through this!

Tyler was great. He assisted us while stationed overseas. Made the process easy and efficient. He explained everything on the closing cost, as we are first time home buyers. I would recommend

Macy made everything go well and smooth. I'm not sure how anyone else could've made our experience any better. My wife and I will be recommending OVM anyone looking for a lender in Florida.
Shannon helped me and my wife refinance our home, guiding us through a new and what could have been pretty intimidating experience. She made the process smooth and she answered our questions clearly and patiently. We couldn't have been happier with the whole thing. When we were ready to look for a mortgage for a new place, she was the first person...
Shannon was our lender for our first time home buyer purchase. We ended up with first time homebuyers down payment assistance loan and then ended with NO CLOSING COSTS! We only had to pay for inspections! How AMAZING! She literally made our financial situation match what we could afford and estimated MORE during the process so that we could be prep...
Shannon was extremely helpful in every way. This was my first experience with getting a mortgage loan and she made it so easy and simple. It almost seemed effortless! I strongly recommend working with Shannon.
