“Working with BetterLife Real Estate Funding for my last 2 refinances was easily the smoothest funding experience I’ve ever had. The application process was straightforward, the offers presented came quickly and I was able to close in about 3 weeks. I’ve recommended BetterLife to multiple investor friends already and can’t wait to get another deal done. They truly have built a company catered to investors. Job well done!”

"I called Sean when I was not happy with the Closing Estimate figures my previous Loan was giving me. I needed a loan quickly to meet deadlines in order to get the house. Sean and his team were able to get me a loan in TWO WEEKS! and with even better numbers and rate than I projected. Should have used them earlier but I'm glad I got him before I lost out on my place.
Thanks Sean!"

"I was a first time home buyer with very little knowledge about the process, and Sean was always available for any questions I had and explained to me exactly what I needed to do, even with rates soaring right now. His employees were also very competent, specifically Ed who walked me through the later stages and sent me all the paperwork quickly. I have a huge student loan already and an extremely limited budget, and Sean was able to work with me even when I wanted to rework my down payment a the last minute because I wanted to have money to repair the house after buying. I had already been denied from a different lender previously, and Sean never made me feel like I had no chance to get approved. I'm hoping to continue to work with him to try and consolidate my student loans with the loan for" my house, and I think he is a good fit for any first time buyer on a tight budget.
