Diane B. Mar-21
“The process was great.”
George S. Feb-21

Thomas D. Feb-21
“This was a very unusual loan process in that I never saw the loan officer face to face. In this day and age maybe that's the new way things are being done. My only complaint is the several times I had to send the same documents in. I didn't know what was going on there. Peter seemed to be always busy when I called, but he always called back. He always answered and explained whatever questions or concerns I had. Other than my one complaint I think the process went very well.”
Nickole S. Feb-21
“This best ever”
Mark J. Jan-21
“Nick Stihl was "the best" person we've ever dealt with in any previous business dealings. Always a very calming force....very informative, kind, considerate. He never seemed annoyed at the many phone calls and questions posed to him. He was the best part of this experience. On the negative side, there were MANY people we were receiving e-mails from for various parts of the process.”

“I am a Realtor and Branch Manager for Wagner Realty. I never hesitate to recommend Pete for a mortgage. I have had over 10 years of experience with him and have many happy clients that have obtained their mortgages with Pete Minarich. This long list includes myself and family members too! What is so impressive is the number of deals that other lenders cannot close that come to Pete and HomeBridge, and get to closing. Follow-up, customer service and knowledge of the industry is an A+++. Pete knows how to close deals, and that is the number one goal in our business. Thank you, Pete, for making the mortgage process for myself and my clients smooth and painless. You are the best!”
Alice Ohme Parrish, FL
“Pete is just the best at taking care of my real estate customers' mortgage needs! His follow-up is terrific and his knowledge is impressive. In our office, our motto is "Pete or Cash"!! I highly recommend Pete for your mortgage needs. You won't be disappointed!”
Ed K. Bradenton, FL
“I am a Realtor and over the years I've worked with many different loan officers.  I have to say that you are the best at following up and staying on top of the deal to "keep it together". Thanks for your quick response to my buyers that call to get pre-approved, too! They are nervous when they make the call and you get them relaxed and informed about the process. Keep up the good work!! Thanks!! Ed Kinkopf - Wagner Realty”
