Coming out of a terrible experience working with a well-known bank trying to secure the mortgage of a house where we lost thousands of dollars due to the inexperience of their mortgage broker, we thought, we would never own a home. We are not the typical loan prospects, with one of us being self-employed there was always something new.

Amid our despair, we learned of John Licciardello from Metropolitan financial group, through a mutual friend. His experience and knowledge, together with his brother Greg, were immediately perceived. You could tell they’ve seen it all before. It was a delight working with them and their team. They are true professionals.

They guided us through all the steps, from getting us a preapproval letter in a matter of minutes to securing us a loan with a great interest-rate and coordinating with both the real estate broker and attorneys. Suddenly, the terrible experience we were coming from turned into a well-managed and perfectly executed undertaking.

We are now sitting in our beautiful new home writing this letter. We couldn’t be more grateful; they really changed our lives. Thank you!

I used John Licciardello for my VA loan to buy my first house. I highly recommend any Veteran to use John, he beat all 3 other brokers I was getting quotes from. John is a gentleman, very responsive. I passed him along to family members that all ended up using him.

Hello John and Frank! What a pair! You are two of the best humans to cross my path, and for that, I thank the Universe. I am grateful to both of you for all of your help, compassion, diligence, and kind words during the process. Life changes on a dime, and sometimes it is painful; sometimes it's beautiful.

You both taught me that no matter your social status, the money in your bank account, or the ruler, society measures us by means little. I cannot express how genuinely humbled I felt working with both of you. It's not every day you find people in the world who care as deeply as the both of you do.

I wish I could afford to rent a blimp with lights in the sky that says, "Metropolitan Financial Group, we care!" And have it flown all over the Tri-state area and beyond so the world could know what I know.

You work with integrity, dignity, and selflessness. Thank you both from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you for helping me fulfill my dream of putting a roof over my babies' heads, a home to rest, break bread in, and grow. You will be the first recommendation to anyone and everyone who crosses my path. I wish you both the best in all you do today and always.
