Jeff Zerrer at Continental Mortgage Corporation was very helpful and punctual throughout the process of applying for and getting approved for our home loan. He took time to answer our questions, which, as first-time homebuyers were many! He was also very responsive in handling our application and in our communications with the lender. We spoke to a couple of other loan originators on the phone prior to applying through Continental Mortgage, and Jeff Zerrer was by far the most professional, helpful, and informed of the people we spoke with. I would recommend anyone I know to Continental Mortgage.

Refinance went through fine. A few bumps along the way but Jeff kept us up to date on the process and we ended up refinancing on time.
Description of Work: Jeff helped us refinance our house. Our first appraisal came in a lot lower than we had all expected. I was not going to go through with the refinance because it meant we had a higher interest rate. Jeff volunteered to pay for a second appraisal. The 2nd one came in much higher and we were able to complete the refinance. He was a big help.

We have used Continental Mortgage and its principal, Jeff Zerrer, for the purchase of our last two properties, and the sale of our last property. Each time we have retained the services of Continental Mortgage, Jeff deftly and consistently supported us through the entire process, from the initial application through to closing. He kept on top of the whole process, and went above and beyond the typical responsibilities of a mortgage broker ? helping us to gather information and documents, providing credit reporting advice, and educating us on the real estate market as well as the complexities of mortgage brokering and refinancing ? just to name a few. Jeff was always available, including late evenings and weekends, to answer questions or provide direction. His customer service skills and aptitude are second to none. In addition, his loan processor, Marcia Leonard displayed exceptional customer service and followed through with us on every aspect of the loan process. In short, Continental Mortgage provides wholly exceptional service. We would always use Jeff for any future transactions, and would recommend Continental Mortgage to anyone looking to buy, sell, or refinance their property.
Description of Work: Jeff Zerrer and his Continental Mortgage team provided the necessary assistance for my wife and secure a mortgage for our new home in Weston, FL. We could no have done it without their assistance.

As of September 2013, I made the decision to purchase real estate for the first time in my life. I am self-employed (I own my own company) and that ended up generating additional hurdles that we needed to clear that a person with a more typical income source wouldn't have to deal with. Due to the hurdles that I had to deal with, we didn't close on the property until April 2014, seven months later. Over the full *seven months*, Jeff was extremely informative, patient and helpful with me. To be honest, I was extremely overwhelmed by the financing process since it was all new to me - Jeff took his time with me over several phone calls and emails to really make sure I understood what needed to happen and answer my questions. When it came time to finally get our loan, there were setbacks... setbacks that caused us to abandon our original application due to requirements that we couldn't meet (the cause was due to issues about the condo building that we didn't discover until late in the process). Jeff very quickly found a solution and saved the whole deal. I can't convey how professional, knowledgeable and skilled Jeff was when it mattered most -- even my real estate attorney thought the deal was going to fall apart, but Jeff found a solution and saved us. If you are looking to get a mortgage at a good rate, go with Jeff. I am completely, totally and thoroughly thrilled that I chose Jeff to work with and I will be working with him again later this year when I buy more real estate. He has outstanding reviews here, and he earned it. He is A+
Description of Work: Jeff provided us with getting us a mortgage at a great rate and jumped through a LOT of hoops to make it happen.

I found Continental Mortgage and its principal, Jeff Zerrer, through Angie?s list. Continental Mortgage is the winner of Angie?s List Page of Happiness Award for 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013. Jeff Zerrer assisted me with a complex residential loan refinancing. Jeff ?hit the ground running? within minutes of my first phone call with an emailed list of refinancing document requirements and a game plan. I felt comfortable with Jeff from my initial telephone contact to closing. He was always available by phone or email and immediately responded to my questions. He kept me informed throughout the entire process. I felt that I had an advocate every step of the way from application to closing. Jeff Zerrer is experienced and resourceful and is the consummate professional. His customer service was truly exemplary. I am very pleased with the entire transaction. I strongly recommend Continental Mortgage and will refer family, friends, and professional associates to him.

Mortgage refinancing is a complicated, detailed and exacting process. We took a stab at it without a broker and realized that it was like shopping for brain surgery in the Yellow Pages. We were sold on Continental Mortgage Corporation by the large number of glowing reviews on Angie's List even though the brokerage was on the opposite side of Florida from us. From the beginning of the process with Jeff Zerrer at Continental, it was clear that the Angie's List plaudits were well deserved. Jeff was professional but engaging and down-to-earth. He patiently and without condescension explained all the various aspects of the application procedure, the application itself, and our various options. It seemed that he and his document processor Marcia were on the job 24/7 since he immediately responded to my e-mails at all hours and documents were prepared and sent out during the weekend. With Jeff's gentle prodding, I invested in an inexpensive All-in-One machine so that I could scan and e-mail documents in order to keep up with him (in today's world, everything is handled electronically). Once he placed the loan with a lender, Jeff worked closely with us, the lender, and our closing agent to ensure that the loan was closed before the locked-in interest rate expired. At closing, the agent was impressed that Jeff had arranged the loan so that the lending rate and the APR were almost identical indicating that obtaining the loan had cost us almost nothing. In summary, Jeff Zerrer knows how to work with people, knows his profession, and has the expertise to achieve the best results.
Description of Work: Jeff Zerrer gave us invaluable help in filling out the mortgage refinancing loan application and found a mortgage lender for us.

I got Jeff's name from Angie's List, and I'm glad I did! He was extremely professional and helpful every step of the way. He willingly explained the process to me in detail that I could understand. I ended up refinancing at a lower interest rate while combining two loans, resulting in a savings for me. I give Jeff 5 stars!

From start to finish, Jeff Zerrer was a class act. Despite the fact that there was more work involved for Jeff, he encouraged us to take out a VA loan, which we did. We got the lowest interest rate and with each requirement that the VA needed, Jeff complied. He kept us in the loop at all times, and dealt with our irritation (not because of anything for which he was responsible) in a way that only a saint could do. There were several occasions where we were only available to talk to Jeff in the evening and he graciously spent what should have been his personal time, talking to us, explaining things and making suggestions. There was not a single problem and our closing went like clockwork - amazing given how hard it is to refinance these days. Jeff embodies ethics and integrity and goes above and beyond for clients. I would highly recommend Jeff not just in the professional sense, but also as a devoted dad to his dogs.

I called Jeff after doing extensive research on Angie's list. I was impressed by his reviews and he more than exceeded my expectations. From my initial phone call to get a qualification letter to closing day, Jeff always made himself available to answer any questions I had and I had a lot of questions! Yes I closed on time. No extensions needed! He explained some confusing forms and never made me feel as if I was bothering him. Jeff assured me that the amount I was qualified for was a true number and I could feel comfortable searching for a home in that price range. He was right, no problems with underwriting. Jeff made me aware of each and ever step in the process. His great service was extended to my realtor and title company. I closed on time about a month ago. I can't thank Jeff and Continental Mortgage enough. I will definitely give them a call again and refer my closest friends and family. Thank you for a pleasant experience and for getting me into my home!

After starting and then bailing out of the refinance process because of 'surprises' two previous times with two different companies, we found Continental Mortgage on Angies List. I wish we had found them first! I'm going to cut to the chase here and give you the meat of what it is you read reviews for: - Jeff Zerrer is very knowledgeable but never condescending. - Jeff Zerrer is a Straight Arrow. Jeff is one of the most professional and ethical people we have ever dealt with in any kind of business transaction. And taking into consideration the time and complexities involved in getting a refi these days, I think that is saying a lot. - Jeff seems to be genuinely interested in providing a positive experience for his clients. Look, we're all in business to make money and I assume Jeff is as well. But the thing is, throughout the whole process with Continental Mortgage you feel as though you and Jeff are 'on the same team', working towards the common goal of getting your refi done in the smoothest, most cost-effective manner. - Throughout the sometimes-arduous refi process we felt as if Jeff were our 'point man', suggesting a game plan and going to bat for us with the appraisers and underwriters to not only "git 'er done", but to forge results that were the most advantageous for us. For example, when our appraisal came in HIGHER than the estimate, the lender took issue with the number. Jeff dealt with the head of appraisals at the bank and ordered a 'field appraisal' - which he paid for out of his own pocket. The field appraisal matched the original appraisal and we were good to go. All in all, we would use Jeff and Continental Mortgage again in a heartbeat, and recommend him highly. We don't think you can do better.

I called Jeff (I found him on Angie's list) to inquire about helping me arrange a mortgage for my townhome, he was extremely proffesional I explained I did not have an easy deal so he took a look and said he could help. I could not have picked a better man for the job, he was extremely profeesional and he didn't quit till he got the mortgage approved and closed. I would not use anyone else and will highly recomend Jeff to my friends and family.

I wanted to refinance based on the decline in mortgage rates. Jeff Zerrer provided exceptional guidance on my options. To my surprise, he actually referred me to a Credit Union based on my individual situation, turning down the chance to make money in exchange for what was in my best interest (very rare in today's world). It is very refreshing to see such honesty and integrity in today's mortgage business. Jeff spent nearly 20 minutes on the phone with me providing me with his experience and knowledge to lead me in the right direction, and knowing he would not earn a cent from me based on the honest advise he was giving me. Based on my brief, but very profitable and beneficial experience with him, I would DEFINITELY turn to him first for any mortgage service and highly recommend him to anyone.

Jeff Zerrer was extraordinarily courteous, professional, knowledgeable and responsive. Although I decided against going forward at this time I would not have hesitated to entrust the remainder of the home buying process to him and his company.
Description of Work: Jeff Zerrer of Continental Mortgage Company provided extensive information that was critical to me as a new Florida resident interested in buying a home. He answered detailed queries promptly, professionally and comprehensively. He provided a free pre-qualification letter extremely quickly and good faith estimates when I found property I was interested in pursuing.

Working with Jeff was great he made the refi process bearable. He kept us in the loop thru the whole process and was very informative. He was efficient, honest and supportive. He answered all my questions and addressed all my issues. With the amount of time and effort he put into our refi, I truly did fill like a VIP client. His work ethic is impeccable and he truly cares about his clients, a pleasure to work with. After going thru buying, selling and refinancing in the past with other companies, Jeff is by far the best. If you need to refi or any other services they provide, you can't go wrong with Jeff Zerrer at Continental Mortgage, hands down the best customer service and integrity, he has my highest recommendation!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! I can't say enough about how great it was to work with them. From start to finish, they were courteous, responsive and willing to take the time to patiently explain every step of the process. It took less than four weeks from start to finish and I lowered my mortgage payment by about $330.00 per month. The process was very smooth but you do need to be prepared to provide alot of documentation. It sure is not like the old days when all you had to do was sign your name. They were always available to respond to my calls and emails-even on nights and weekends. In fact, I initially statrted to refinance with my existing lender but they were so unresponsive that I decided to try Angie's List and called Continental. I would definitely recommend them and I can honestly say they were one of the most professional companies I have ever dealt with. Not only were they professional and knowledgeble, they were also really nice people. Two thumbs up!

Overall it went very well. My fees and costs came in lower than originally estimated and whenever I had a question or concern during the application process, the person servicing my application was responsive to my questions and provided answers in a timely and professional manner.
Description of Work: I refinanced my mortgage on my townhome using the HARP program. Even though I was not underwater, the collapse of the real estate market in my area had lowered my equity to the point that I was concerned about being able to refinance to take advantage of today's low interest rates.

While the mortgage refinancing process can be lengthy and confusing, Jeff was very helpful throughout the entire application and closing process. Jeff and his staff were responsive and always available to clarify any questions from start to finish. Additionally, interest rates dropped during the application process and Jeff proactively adjusted our rate to reflect the lower market rates. Overall, Jeff and his staff at Continental Mortgage were very professional and knowledgeable, and I would recommend anyone looking to refinance or secure a new loan to contact them.

The guy from Quicken Loans flat out said Jeff would not be able to deliver the deal he sent me and that if the deal was legit I would be crazy not to take it. I wasn't crazy, so I took it and yes, Jeff did deliver despite the shady tactics and attempt to grossly overcharge me by Quicken Loans!

Very professional and prompt service throughout the refinancing process. Jeff Zerrer did an outstanding job finding the appropriate refinancing alternative for us and truly representing us during the process. Don't let the Miami address affect you, Continental acted as though we were across the street and the entire closing process was handled locally and handed well. I strongly recommend them.
