Reviews
Brian and his team were fantastic throughout the entire loan process. As a first time homebuyer, I had a lot of questions, and Brian was always incredibly responsive and took the time to explain everything clearly.
Dimitrios was also great to work with and helped keep everything organized and moving smoothly.
Would highly recommend!
I came to Brian Scott Cohen through my real estate agent, who had worked with him on financing in the same building I was looking at in Financial District/Tribeca area. As someone who has financed quite a few properties through larger institutions like Citi and Loan Depot, I can say the experience with Brian's team was smoother and faster than what I was used to with traditional banks.
What stood out was how proactive they were. As a businessman without a standard W2, they took the time to figure out the best financing structure for my situation rather than just running it through the usual channels. The loan was ready within 60 days, which was ahead of what other lenders had quoted me. Any delays on closing were on the seller's side, not theirs. Overall the process was good and timely, and I would keep them in mind for future financing in New York City.
Working with Brian and the team at Guaranteed Rate throughout our home-buying process was a great experience from start to finish.
Everything was extremely transparent throughout the process, which was especially appreciated given how stressful and unpredictable NYC real estate can be. Our closing date ended up getting delayed multiple times, but the team stayed on top of everything and consistently checked in to keep us informed on timing, next steps, and what to expect.
What also stood out was how proactive they were with communication around interest rates. Whether I reached out with questions or the market started shifting, they were always quick to keep us updated and talk through our options so we could make informed decisions.
The entire process felt organized, responsive, and professional, and we always felt like we were in good hands. Highly recommend working with them.
I worked with Brian on the purchase of a co-op in NY and the experience was professional, fast, and straightforward. The process ended up taking about five months, but that had nothing to do with Brian. The sellers were out of the country and we kept having to extend while waiting on their power of attorney. Through all of it, Brian and his team were consistently available, weekdays, weekends, whenever I needed to reach someone I could.
What I appreciated most was that Brian is a practical mortgage lender. He doesn't overcomplicate things for the customer. The information was always concrete and clear, and he did everything he could to get me the best rate. I would absolutely work with him again and recommend him to others.
Working with Brian Scott Cohen was such a great experience. He made the loan process feel smooth and straightforward, always staying one step ahead and keeping us in the loop. We felt completely taken care of from start to finish and are so happy we chose to work with him. Truly top-notch service.
