John was amazing! He was with me every step of the way as I bought my first home. He was prompt and friendly and took time to explain everything in a way that I could understand. Very knowledgeable and professional, I would recommend the Counsel Mortgage Group to anyone. Thank you John!

My experience with Mr. Jim Moore has been beyond excellent. My life was a complete financial mess. My husband was an Army Veteran who passed away. To have such an amazing Veteran like Jim help me with my credit issues and my mortgage loan has been a gift! I highly recommend Mr. Jim Moore and Counsel Mortgage Group to all veterans in need of credit improvement to purchase or refinance a home. If I could give him six stars I would. His team at Vet Your Credit is always ready to go above and beyond to help everyone especially veterans and their spouses.

I worked with Samaria for my refinance and she was great! Even though there were some hurdles from my previous mortgage company, she worked hard to make it all work, and kept me updated at all times. Overall, a very pleasant and easy process. Great company to work with!

If it wasn’t for Jim I would’ve never been able to buy this house one year ago my credit score was a 499 one year later it was a 650 Jim put down procedures that I needed to do in able to prepare myself to buy a home I cannot be any more happier. I am multiple tour veteran and I can honestly say Jim knows how to take care of veterans and understands what we need! I highly recommend Vet Your Credit services for credit repair and Counsel Mortgage Group for VA loans.

Counsel Mortgage and John Rapasky is an excellent choice if you are looking for real estate finance. I have been a full time practicing real estate broker for over 15 years, licensed in Arizona and California. I have worked with more lenders than I can count. In the last transaction in which I represented the buyer, I had the chance to work with John. John's rates and pricing were better than two other local lenders, which is why my buyer chose to work with him, but finance is so much more than pricing, and John delivered on all accounts. We met all our benchmarks through the escrow process, he

I have personally used Counsel Mortgage Group 3 times over the last 4 years to refi my existing VA home loans. The service is excellent and timely. And, despite what some other negative reviewers have stated, Mr. Jim Moore is one of the most caring and efficient Loan Originators out there! His knowledge of the mortgage loan industry is extensive.
As a Vietnam Veteran he truly understands the needs of veterans; as long as you provide all of the documentation requested or address the credit repair items he identifies in a timely manner he can/will go above and beyond to make sure he secures the

Not Veteran friendly. Did not help this veteran. After meeting him at the Glendale Stand Up event I felt confident that he could help me get into a house of my own. He never called me after the event as promised. After many calls to him he finally answered. I asked when we could meet and discuss my situation. In a very gruff voice he said "what are your numbers?" I replied that I didn't have them in front of me. He said "have a good day sir" and hung up on me. What happened to the guy that was going to help me? He failed me. Online it says he was a Ranger. I find that hard to believe. All the men

Samaria and Ninveh helped me with my purchase years back and recently helped me with my refinance. They always check in, update me on the market and are readily available to answer any questions I had. They walk me through the process and communicate so effortlessly. I have recommended them to all of my friends, family and co-workers. Everyone says the home buying process is a nightmare but it has truly been so easy thanks to them.
