Christian helped me tremendously through the process of purchasing my home and helping me secure a mortgage. His team has also stayed in contact with useful tools for a homeowner that have really helped me understand my home. The Homebot App is also an extremely helpful tool that has also helped me to make the decision as to when I should consider selling as well.

I'm not the type of person who takes the time to leave reviews, but I truly felt the need to leave one for Christian and his team. This is the hardest working group of professionals that I've encountered in my 14+ years of living in South Florida. I truly thought that I had landed on the best mortgage product available after talking to several different mortgage companies. That is, until I met Christian. I politely told him to get lost but he patiently explained how he could save me money. I was skeptical at first, but he delivered everything he promised and more. His service did not end after the closing. I recently reached out to him for advice and he once again delivered a great solution. Thank you, Christian, I look forward to doing business with you again.

When you need a local lender as the customer it is important to look for someone who can be organized and prepared for any local issues that can ruin a deal, know the community and how to get you funded on time. Meet Marni from Christian Penner Group for an amazing experience. I recommend you contact her she will call you back shortly.

Beverly Boyett was my representative and she went above and beyond in assisting me with my Refi. She DID what she said she would do... and MORE! Can't express how kind, efficient and knowledge she was. I will definately go back to Hamilton in the future with any home financing needs.
