Having utilized John's services many times over the years, and as a real estate professional myself, I can say without qualification that John's expertise, professionalism and business ethics transcend those typically found within our business. He's great about returning calls, following through and delivering at least what was promised (sometimes, considerably more!), and can accordingly look forward to both my personal and referral mortgage business for many years to come.

I have been in the real estate industry for fifteen years and like most agents have worked with a few lenders. That changed for me when I met John Rapasky from Counsel Mortgage. I am proud to have him on my team and love to refer him to clients. He has taken away my need to look after anything in the lending business. I now simply give John's information to my client and tell them how much I trust him and that they now have a person who looks out for their financial needs. John counsels my clients as to what steps to take and keeps them informed as well as myself. He also is in touch with the title company and makes sure everything is on time and takes the service a step further. If I could use him exclusively I would. He is one of the best out there; if not the best. John would get a A+ if I were to rate him.

Thanks again,

As a first time home buyer I had no idea what I was getting my self into, until I found John and Counsel Mortgage Group!

From the time I contacted John Rapasky he always made himself available to answer all of my questions no matter how small or ignorant they may have been.

In less than 2 months Counsel Mortgage Group helped raise my credit score through coaching, fill out all of the paper work, shop for the best rate available and even went beyond the call of duty in just listening to me and answering questions completely unrelated to financial of my house!

Counsel Mortgage Group and John Rapasky truly care about their clients. I made the right choice coming here and would recommend Counsel Mortgage Group to the closest people in my life because I know that they would get the best!
