McGowan Mortgage was outstanding for both my primary home purchase and an investment property. Their speed was exceptional—everything moved efficiently without ever feeling rushed. The team’s knowledge was clear at every step, from structuring the loans to explaining options in a way that actually made sense. Most impressive was the communication: proactive, responsive, and transparent throughout the entire process. I always knew where things stood and what was coming next. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend McGowan Mortgage to anyone looking for a smooth, professional mortgage experience.

I am very grateful with McGowan Mortgages, they helped me to get the mortgage for my new house last year, especially when most banks told me it was too difficult or even impossible because I am a self employed, McGowan made simple and possible, I truly recommend them.

If you want a mortgage lender who is responsive, sharp, honest, and relentless, Max Disser is the guy.We purchased our home in November 2024, and since this was my first home purchase, I expected the process to be stressful and confusing. On top of that, we used a VA loan, which can come with extra steps and specific requirements. Max handled everything like a total professional and made the entire process feel smooth, organized, and completely manageable.He communicated clearly, stayed ahead of deadlines, and always made sure I understood what was happening at every stage. Anytime I had a question, Max responded quickly and confidently, and I never felt left in the dark.What really stood out was how knowledgeable he was with the VA loan process and how well he worked with me as a veteran. He didn’t just “process a loan” — he genuinely cared and made sure I was taken care of from start to finish.If you’re a first-time buyer or a veteran looking to use your VA benefits, I highly recommend Max Disser and the McGowan Mortgages team.

Cindy initially reached out to me, and then Julie followed up to help me see where I stand with buying a home since I’m looking into it for next year. She gave me a clear plan moving forward, and I really appreciate that it didn’t feel pushy at all. McGowan Mortgages truly seem like they care more about their customers than just pushing out numbers, and I’m excited to use them next year when I’m ready.

I am currently working with McGowan Mortgages on my refinance, and the experience has been wonderful so far. Even though I’ve run into a few hiccups with my situation, Fidel has been incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the process. With my busy schedule, I sometimes can’t respond right away, but their team always checks in with me and keeps me motivated to stay on track. Those reminders make a huge difference for someone like me.I was recommended to McGowan Mortgages by my friend Julie, who helped me get started with my refinance application, and I’m so glad she did. Everyone on the team has been wonderful, professional, and committed to making the process as smooth as possible. Highly recommend!

Whether you are a first time home buyer or a seasoned homebuyer these folks work so hard for you. They were kind, patient, knowledgeable and professional in every step of the process. I had little to no experience with every aspect of the process and they never let that get in the way. They worked hard every day and were always accessible. Can’t say enough good things about this company!!!!!

As a first-time homebuyer, I was honestly so clueless about the loan process, but working with McGowan Mortgages has been nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, Julie, my application specialist, made everything so easy to understand. She communicated with me every step of the way and always kept me updated. After her, Tiana stepped in and has been just as incredible. The consistency in communication and support has been something I truly appreciate. What stood out the most is how well the entire McGowan team keeps everyone in the loop…not just me, but even my realtor! He hardly ever needs to reach out because they are always a step ahead in keeping everyone informed. It’s clear this team genuinely cares and wants to help people, not just push deals through. A huge thank you to Derek and the entire McGowan Mortgages team. You all are such kind, wholesome people, and it truly shows in how you treat your clients. I’m so excited to close on my new home soon, and I’m so grateful to be doing it with a team I trust!

McGowan Mortgages were easy to work with and closed quickly. I completed a refinance on a rental property with them and then closed on another property with them both in the same month. My realtor was also impressed with them and thought they were easy to work with. I plan on using them again to refinance down my second rental property. I highly recommend them.

The McGowan crew was great!! After trying a few mortgage company’s that wouldn’t approve us for the amount we wanted I found McGowan. They immediately got us approved for the amount we wanted. They for sure have ways of helping people who may have particular situations in the home buying process. Everyone was so nice and helpful and the one thing I especially loved was the prompt updates they were always keeping me informed on what was happening with my loan throughout the whole process. Jess the processor was also exceptional and made that whole process extremely stress free when it came time to get everything in order for the underwriter. Thanks for everything!! If I ever buy another house in the future I will certainly be using McGowan!!

They made the entire process seamless from start to finish, I mean wow and their confidence prior to any paperwork signing let us know what they do, how they work, what to expect as far as some highs and lows of new home searching. I would choose them a thousand times with confidence and ease in knowing the end results would be the same. Thank youDerek and Thao!!

I am thrilled to share my experience with McGowan Mortgages, as they played a pivotal role in helping me purchase my first home after what had been a deeply frustrating journey with two other lenders. My previous attempts werefraught with delays and ultimately ended in heartbreak when both lenders denied my applications after months of waiting. It felt like I was stuck in a limbo, unsure if I would ever achieve my dream of homeownership.When I turned to McGowan Mortgages, I was greeted with a refreshing level of professionalism and genuine care. From the very beginning, they provided me with a clear and actionable plan to raise my credit score, which was crucialin securing my approval. I was able to move into my new home within just 2-3 weeks—an impressive turnaround compared to my previous experiences.What stood out most was the patience and understanding of the McGowan team, particularlyDerek, who worked tirelessly to ensure I was well-informed throughout the entire process. He was always available to address my concerns, no matter the time of day. This kind of support truly made a difference during atime when I felt overwhelmed by the complexities of home buying.​Thanks to McGowan Mortgages, I secured an incredible deal: no money down and a competitive 5.2% interest rate.​ Additionally, when the seller requested more money for the extended wait caused by my previous lenders,Derek kindly offered me a $500 credit to help ease that burden. As a single mom and a veteran, this support was invaluable.I cannot thank Derek and the entire McGowan team enough for their dedication and commitment to helping me realize my dream of homeownership. They provided educational videos to guide methrough the process and kept me on track with timelines, making everything feel manageable and straightforward.In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend McGowan Mortgages to anyone seeking a lending partner. My experience was nothing short of exceptional, and I am now a proud homeowner because of their outstanding service. I would ratethem a firm 10 out of 10!
