Greenbox Loans
Amin Langston, our Account Executive, provided impeccable service on a recent transaction. GreenBox Loans was able to help me close on a very complicated home loan for one of my self-employed borrowers. We were able to utilize their 24-month bank statement program to bring this deal to fruition. This is not the first time that GreenBox has saved the day.

I will definitely utilize them again and again for all of my Non QM mortgage needs. Just wanted to drop you a quick note and take a second to recognize yours and Greenbox effort on our transaction. We work with many lending partners and a handful of non-qm lenders and so far this experience has been far better than our previous experience with GB and definitely better than our experiences with our other non-qm folks.
Services
Greenbox Loans is a leader in the residential lending market, with over 70 years of combined experience. Greenbox Loans was founded based on the concept of "Out of the Box" underwriting of residential loans. Many originators & brokers come across borrowers that are fine credit risks but don't fit many company's guidelines.
I have been in this business for over 22 years. I actually was a broker for about 8, however since 2017, I have stayed away from brokering loans (as much as humanly possible), as I have gotten very comfortable with keeping loans in house (I like the control). However, I had a loan that was outside of our parameters, and I really wanted to help the clients.

I just closed two difficult loans with Greenbox and I can say that both teams that handled my two loans were spectacular. They were on top of things, efficient, understanding, patient and flexible. The Regional Sales Manager John was the best to work with. He knew his stuff and was as caring about my borrowers as much as I. I would 100% recommend them and I will certainly be sending them more loans. Way to go Greenbox! Thanks!

I am closing two simultaneous ITIN loans with Greenbox this week and I would give them 10 stars if I could. I had two UW teams and both teams and their account managers were on top of the files. They were efficient, understanding, patient, responsive, and knowledgeable and gave great care to my two files. The Regional Sales Manager John and his team member Kory were always aware of what was happening on the file and were always there to answer a question, resolve an issue and help push these files along to closing. Together we made an awesome team working on these files as a well-oiled machine

I would send my 1-year-old son to climb Mt Everest with nothing more than a thin pair of shorts and a soaking wet diaper before ever thinking about doing another loan with Greenbox Loans, Inc.

Things I trust more than closing ON TIME with Greenbox... Sipping cocktails with Bill Cosby, Letting Jared from Subway babysit my child, Gas Station Sushi, Facebook profile pictures, Telling my hairdresser I only want to take an inch off, Girls when they say "I don't normally do this"....
We had to extend the closing date 4 times, we submitted docs multiple times but they were never reviewed by underwriting again, and again, and again. Also, they will blame it all on everyone else except for themselves. Please, if you want to keep your earnest money and your sanity in tact, I FORBID YOU TO USE

I recently closed my first loan with John Madarang at Greenbox Loans. John and his entire staff were very easy to work with. They have an attitude that matches Loan Originators. They have a strong desire to get your loan closed. I like that a lot! Thanks John, see you on my next deal.

Quick and no hassle! I would 100% recommend reaching out to this company for any lending needs. They made our refinancing very straightforward. It was super easy and the team here was knowledge and were always available to answer any questions we had. It took less time than expected to close and we got a lower rate than other major banks and lenders.

Being a LO and knowing all ins and outs, process and steps necessary to close a deal, I can say with 100% confidence that Greenbox Loans team really took care of my buyer. We needed an unconventional lending and we got it. Jumbo loans take 35-45 days to close and John M team did it in 17 business day, WOW. This deal was very unique and complex for most but not for this guys, they knew exactly how to approach it and how to work it to the end. Of coarse any self employed income loan is a hassle and of coarse there are some nerves involved but at the end of the day we have a family who is moving into

Do not use this place, total scammers. I was literally $800 away from paying off my note ($68,000 originally) and they decided to hit us up with a $3,000 termination fee because we had a second funding source, simultaneously. Our broker said that was fine. Everything was paid. You'll regret it after you sign the documents. Seemingly, this will never be paid off because I'm sure we will get more fees for some reason.

Chris Trahan at Greenbox Loans is a great asset to the company. He is very responsive to anything I need regarding loans I submit to Greenbox as a broker. He is very helpful and truly a "partner" of mine in the business. Also Greenbox's system is very well laid out and easy to use. I've closed about 3 or 4 loans with them so far and they are a pleasure to work with.

Greenbox did a phenomenal job yet and again for our client. John Madarang & his team (Sofia) kept us in the loop from start to finish. It was a tricky purchase loan that needed to go the non QM route that other lenders couldn't pull off. They just made our client's the happiest people in the world. John is my go to guy for my entire branch. He does it right from the start. If it is not going to work, he won't waste your time. He takes care of our client, that is the most important thing to us as bankers, lenders & brokers. Even on weekends, my team has full access to John

I'm sure there are buyers out there with an abundance of time and resources, and so they can easily navigate the loan process. That wasn't the case for us. And that's why I highly recommend working with Payam Kohanbash and his team at Greenbox Loans. We were buying a home, and the sellers had the lion's share of the leverage, which is commonplace in today's market. Despite pushy sellers, tight escrow timeline, and some financial history sticking points (nothing disqualifying), Payam was able to help us stay calm and work through what would be an incredibly stressful escrow

It has been many years since I brokered out a loan. I work exclusively with my own in-house loans. I issued a pre-approval for a deal that it turned out, with more scrutiny of the businesses tax-returns I could not do in house. GreenBox has a niche bank statement program with a rate that could not be beat. Bank statements programs are notoriously difficult to close, but they bent over backwards to to help me close this loan. My AE Joel Campo answered the phone every time I called. The underwriter, Nimfa, proactively called me to help me clear conditions and moved some conditions to prior

Great experience with GreenBox!

John M. and his team were expeditious in processing my loan and while many lenders proclaim they will get you to the table with a lot of promises, John and his team did exactly what they said they would do and that is provide an exemplary experience from start to finish. I would recommend them without hesitation.

First and foremost, I want to start by thanking all of the professionals that handled my customers file at GreenBox Loans. Gray, Pia, Angela, and of course Carla's team knocked it out of the park for my customer and me. Gray was able to answer all of my questions related to how we should structure the transaction and process/UW was ALWAYS on their game when communicating. The file was UW'n fairly and accurately. With COVID in the MIDST of it all, this team really changed my experience with NON QM brokers. Two deals back to back, no hesitations or delays.

Looking forward to many more

This mortgage company is a joke! They make excuses for delay after delay. Never notified Buyers and/or sellers that their closing was not going to the place until the same day. Sellers had already moved out and could not close on the house they were going to buy with the proceeds. Don't use them!

So unprofessional. I contacted this firm mid September 2020 to get help with refi. After the conversation I had with mr. Kohanbash, I provided him with all the requested documents to start the process but he or his team didn't follow up with me even after I requested an update on my file more than once.
I would not recommend this firm to anyone or any case involving urgency since there is a serious lack.

Getting a jumbo loan during COVID was difficult at best. Add in being self-employed and it is next to impossible during this time. The rules were always changing and the market seemed to dry up overnight. Greenbox provides a specialized product that is not for everyone. The process is intense, frustrating, and takes longer than a traditional loan. The positive is we were able to close our loan and purchase our home. This, however, was not an easy task to achieve. It took a lot of effort by my broker, myself, and senior leadership at Greenbox up to and including the CEO granting an exception

I recommend Payam and his team to whoever is even thinking about buying a property or refinancing. This is a breakdown of why:
* Getting loans are easy, said no one ever!!! You want to work with a lender who knows EVERY SINGLE loopholes in regards to loan and financing when you hit a bump and trust me you will! Things come up last minute, and they will help you solve it.
* He is honest with you. He told me upfront there was a really low chance of success for my loan given my circumstances, but he gave his 100% and made it happen.
* I needed so many explanations along the way since

Keith V, thinks I have 0 understanding of loans. I use to underwrite for Comerica Bank and US bank and I underwrite loans for real estate developers not the joke loans you guys work on. I run min $10 million loan up to $1 billion range and for publicly traded companies. Before you go on thinking this is a fake review by some uneducated person. You might want to judge the company that is getting low reviews by everyone not just me. Have a good one!

Hey Keith, looks like you have 2 reviews... kinda suspicious no? LOL



Company has a lot of fake reviews and does not deliver on loans as promised
