Dan made getting a mortgage the least stressful part of buying a house. Everything was streamlined and relatively simple for what is the largest purchase of your life. Awesome experience!!
If you’re in the market, I highly recommend the O’Kavage Group. Dan has truly been a pleasure to work with. I can’t thank him enough for his time, professionalism, and support throughout these past several months. He takes the time to explain things in a way that is clear and easy to understand, stays in touch throughout the process, and has consistently been responsive and supportive every step of the way. His partnership has been genuinely appreciated. Five stars across the board!
Everything gone in a timely manner and interest rates were competitive
Dan was amazing to work with. He does the perfect amount of follow-up to keep the process moving forward. I was able to secure a loan and determine the best option for a renovation project. Highly recommend!
We had great experiences working with Dan on both our original mortgage and our re-financing. He was very transparent and communicative and made sure what was going on along the way. Highly recommend, especially as a first-time homebuyer.
My partner and I had such a great experience working with Dan! He is thoughtful, patient, responsive – and clearly knows his stuff! As first time homebuyers, everything was new to us, and Dan broke things down in a way that made sense and helped us feel secure. And he was able to secure us a great rate!Even our realtor commented on how great it was to work with Dan. We’re grateful to have found such a trustworthy, experienced, helpful mortgage broker!
I had the pleasure of seeing how Dan Okavage and his team at The Okavage Group handled the loan process for a friend of mine who recently purchased a home, and I was beyond impressed. Dan was professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable. He explained every step clearly and kept everything moving without delays.What stood out most was how smooth he made the financing side. From start to finish, he made sure my friend was comfortable and confident, and the loan process wrapped up without any stress. Having worked in finance myself, I can honestly say that kind of efficiency and care isn’t easy to find.Thanks to his efficiency and guidance, once my friend found a home in their price range, the loan process was so smooth that closing wrapped up in just 21 days, far quicker than what most buyers experience. Dan made sure everything stayed on track and stress-free, which gave us all tremendous peace of mind.If you want a loan officer who is dependable, transparent, and truly invested in helping you succeed, I highly recommend The Okavage Group.”
Dan was absolutely fantastic to work with! We closed on our VA loan in just 30 days—smoothly and without any stress. This was my fourth home purchase, and I can confidently say it was the best experience I’ve had by far. Dan was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly had our best interests in mind every step of the way. He also saved us thousands of dollars with his expertise and guidance. If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who delivers results and genuinely cares, Dan is the one to call. Highly recommend!
Dan is a fantastic resource and a pleasure to work with. He and his team are quick to respond and always ready to help.
Wonderful to work with, thorough, and extremely knowledgable! Would recommend him in a heartbeat.
Dan was wonderful to work with. Clear expectations of the process were set upfront in a friendly and helpful way. We made it to closing in 30 days in a painless process. He clearly enjoys what he does and it shows in how easy the whole undertaking was. Highly recommended!
First time home buyers here. Dan is amazing. I first spoke with Dan when I told my real-estate agent (Caroline Lavenduski, highly recommend) I wanted to check out an open house somewhat casually. We needed to get prequalifed and she put me in touch with Dan. Dan called me and spent an hour talking with me and educating me about the market and what it would ACTUALLY roughly cost $$ for total closing costs and down payment (he basically broke down each line item and what it meant for the state of PA), which ultimately lead me to understand a total cost down which was a lot more than I expected (not having done much research on my own). Fast forward a few months and we started more seriously considering buying. Because my husband wasn’t with me when I first spoke to Dan, I asked Dan if he could get on a call with my husband, so he spent about another 45~ talking with him and educating him as well. This is now 2 hours of Dan’s time he spent with my husband and I, who at that time were still somewhat ambivalent potential buyers. But those 2 interactions sealed the deal for me that we would work with Dan, not only because he came highly recommended for finding the best rates, but because anyone who invests in potential customers at that level you know is a true professional and in it for the entire customer experience, and not just in it to make a quick sale. We worked with Dan on the purchase of one home which unfortunately fell through, but kept in touch and about 1 year later, when deciding to move to VA, we decided again to use Dan because the great experiences we’d had so far. He got right to work for us after we quickly identified and made an offer on a house and held our hand basically through the whole process. He has great communication, is genuine, and transparent, not afraid to tell you how it is, and is responsive within minutes, and always able to hop on a call when we didn’t understand something. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a broker. Thank you so much Dan for all of your help!!
Dan was phenomenal. We came to him after a negative experience with a different mortgage broker and Dan fixed our problem in less than 20 minutes. I kid you not! This man really knows what he’s doing. He not only answered all our questions but he also was kind, personable, punctual, and helped us every step of the way. If buying a home 101 was a book.. Dan would be the author lol! Cannot recommend enough, thank you Dan!! 😊
Dan is an excellent lender, in addition to low rates & fees he also has top notch communication, is proactive throughout the transaction, and not only hits due dates but BEATS them! 👏
Working with Daniel was seamless and his love for what he does exudes him. 100% recommend and will refer him to any other friends and Vets who are looking to buy a home.
Dan is very knowledgeable and responsive. He got us a great deal and everything was very smooth. Highly recommend!
Dan was so extremely helpful. I am a first time home buyer and he walked me through every financial step of the way. Not only did he walk me through it, but taught me so much about the home buying process and really some financial things in general! He has made this process extremely smooth, enjoyable, and knowledgeable even when I had to be reminded to send in my documents (sorry Dan!) His wit, knowledge, and dedication to his clients make him top notch! He’s the best!
Dan is exceptional. He has wonderful communication skills, follow through and is a joy to work with. This has been by far the best lending experience we have ever had!
Dan is the man! After getting outbid on multiple houses in a cutthroat NJ market over a 1 year period, we then had a 4.5 month under contract period on our eventual house with multiple unexpected twists, but Dan stuck with us the entire time, and managed to get us an awesome rate. Top notch communication throughout the entire process. Thanks Dan!
Dan was amazing!! Always full of helpful info and there to help keep me calm during the buying process!!! Thank you Dan !!!
Dan was great through the entire home buying process. He was very knowledgeable and ensured we closed on time. I would use Dan again!
Dan is pretty amazing! Not only did we get a great rate, he had us clear to close in 3 weeks .. yes, 3 WEEKS!!! I found my new “Go-To Lender”. Thanks, Dan 🙂
Dan was fantastic! He is an expert at what he does and guides you the entire process. We will definitely use him again and look no further.
Dan was amazing throughout the whole process! He made it all so easy for us. Would recommend him to anyone!
Dan supported us in the mortgage process anyway he could, very quick and helpful. I would recommend for anyone trying to find the best rate available!
Great experience from start to finish!
Our family went with the O’Kavage group in 2019 with the purchase of our new home. Shortly after rates started to fall, Dan was right there going over with on how can save more.I recommend The O’Kavage Group to anyone I know thinking of buying or refinancing. If you have a big project needed or rates start to drop lower than your current one. Give them a chance to look over your situation because they will find a way to make it better.They just got a close friend of mine in his new home a few days ago in under 30 days.
Dan is the ABSOLUTE best. He will explain EVERYTHING to you from a lifetime of experience. We made settlement on my house in 22 days. Dan works tirelessly and won’t stop until you’re completely satisfied with his services. He got me a great rate, talked me out of big mistakes, and got me into my home for my family in PHILADELPHIA quicker than I believed possible. I won’t buy another house unless the Okavage Group is involved.The BEST thing you can do is call him and talk to him and you’ll verify every true word I typed today and hope that your friends, family, or strangers do the right thing and call Dan.
Dan O’Kavage was incredibly helpful. I switched lenders 10 days after submitting the offer on my house. He cut my closing costs by $2300 and offered a lower interest rate than the previous company. He had me clear to close in 15 days after taking over. I will definitely be using him again for future purchases or refinancing options.
Smooth experience working with you for the purchase of our first home. Thanks so much! -Marcy & Courtney
Dan was absolutely amazing through my entire home buying process. I would also like to add he was always transparent in all the needs and expectations. This is my 5th home I have purchased and was 100% the best experience I have had with a mortgage broker.
Not a throwaway 5/5. I swear, Dan single handedly made the process of getting a mortgage easy. I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking to buy a house. From being available to answer questions, to offering advice, I can’t thank him enough.
From Sara & Scott in Delaware – thank you! Dan was a pleasure to work with. Very efficient and great communication.
Dan is a true professional! He gets 5 STARS from start to finish. His knowledge of the mortgage industry is second to none. He is responsive, efficient and very personable. He has all the resources to get you the best rate and customized loan program around! I HIGHLY recommend you give Dan a shot.
Dan was able to help us navigate a very competitive market and we closed with rabid speed. My wife and I highly recommend this fine gentleman.
We were moving from a different state and Dan was recommended by our realtor before we even moved here I called him to ask him the process, he answered all my questions. Once we moved here we found a house that we liked and Dan was on top of it to get all the paperwork work done, he is quick and good at what he does. I would recommend him to anyone that’s looking for a loan.
Was referred to Dan by my realtor and did not disappoint! Not only did we get the best rate but hIs service was impeccable! The follow-through and response time was very efficient through the whole process. Will def recommend!
Dan O’Kavage from The Okavage Group provided exceptional service in closing my mortgage. His expertise and professionalism guided me seamlessly through the process. I highly recommend Dan for anyone seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable mortgage broker who takes their job very seriously.
Dan was very helpful and knowledgeable. With the craziness of the market it was invaluable to have his knowledge, support, and quick action in helping me get my loan in order!
Dan was great to work with. Extremely helpful and professional. He provided excellent service and explained the process and options in simple terms to assist me with this big decision.
Dan is a true professional, got us a rate lower than any other on the market, all paperwork was ready to go day of close and even helped catch mistakes from the seller way before they became an issue. Quick reply’s to any and all questions and removed a ton of stress from the process of buying a home. Cannot overstate what a pleasure it was working with Dan and will recommend to anyone and everyone.
Dan is extremely knowledgeable, approachable, reliable, easy to reach, and happy to explain what is going on and the reason for things. He was able to help us lock our rate right before things went sideways in the market, as well as find a good lender and keep on top of all closing requirements. I am very satisfied with his service and will likely reach out to him for any future needs.
Dan is wonderful. As a first time buyer and buying solo – I was extremely nervous and anxious. Dan is extremely knowledgeable and I appreciate how he took time to explain in detail all my constant questions.He made this transaction smooth and a great experience. 100% recommend!
I could not recommend someone more!My husband and I were renting a home with our one year old. We were informed by our landlord that our rent would be increased substantially. After discussing our renting options, we decided to see what our options would look like for purchasing our first home together.Dan was recommended to us by a close friend. I vividly remember the first call I had with him. Not only was he friendly and genuine, but he took the time to listen to my fears (I had previously purchased a home right before the housing bubble of 2007). He explained that he too bought a house during that time and understood my fears. Not only that, he meticulously explained what the housing market trends were forecasted to be and why, due to generation/populations/etc.I remember talking to my friend who recommended Dan later that evening about how impressed I was and how at ease Dan put our minds.The next three months from mortgage approval to closing could not have gone more smoothly and Dan played an integral part leading that effort. He not only secured a rate that surprised all our friends and family given the market, but was always there to take the time to talk us through any questions we had and provide the advice we needed.We have already told our friends who will be purchasing over the next few years about Dan. As I sit here in our new home, relaxing on the couch after just putting our now 16 month old to bed, I realize that our dream would never have been a reality without Dan O’Kavage.Believe me when I say, there is absolutely no other mortgage broker you want to enlist in your journey to purchase a home.
The O’Kavage group was awesome and great to work with. Always available to answer any and all questions when needed that definitely helped me and my wife on our journey to buy our house! Definitely would recommend to any and everyone!
I can’t say enough about Dan. Made our relocation easy! Dan was there anytime I needed a question answered no matter what time of day. If you are looking for a company that can offer Big Company options but with a small company feel Dan is the man you need to use.Thank you Dan for everything!
Dan was AMAZING from start to finish through the whole process! He was fast, knowledgeable, and kept me on track with all the paperwork needed. Can’t thank him enough!!!!
Dan is great! I made an offer with an aggressive closing date. Dan not only kept the closing on track, he got me an amazing rate and I only needed to pay 1/2 point—adding about $100 to my original cash flow estimate.
Dan was amazing to work with. He was extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of our dealings and worked hard to find us the best possible scenario for getting our mortgage. I will definitely be recommending The O’Kavage Group to anyone I know looking to get a mortgage.
