Customer Testimonials

I had an impossible mortgage situation. I had three loans to consolidate after doing major home renovations, but no lender would work with me. The debt was still below comparable market values, but I could not get an appraiser to use the values in my community. Helio stayed with me, making calls, checking sales figures, fighting with lenders, and just working diligently for me and my family. It took six months, a loan subordination, and two appraisals but he got it done! When no one else could do anything for me, Mr. Helio Souza got my loans consolidated. In my opinion there isn’t a better mortgage broker to work with.

We had a super fast closing - within 3 weeks from start to finish. The best part was that Helio and America Trust Funding worked with a very good lender, that required less documentation of financial records and offered very competitive interest rates. Finally, Helio knows the process and requirements extremely well meaing that we got our new mortgage with little difficulty.

I’m highly satisfied with the outstanding service I experienced with America Trust Funding. Helio visited me at my office a couple of times to guide me through the process to refinance my property. Then Francisco, Tiki and Kaisy were in constant communication with me until closing date. The interest rate they gave me is the best in the market. I’ve not felt this happy in a long time with my finances; I’m saving almost $600 per month!!!!! Helio even helped me out to decrease the amount for my home insurance, saving me $550 per year!!! I highly recommend America Trust Funding to my family, friends and anyone who is thinking in refinancing or purchasing real estate property! They are the best!!!!!! Martha Castaneda Washington, DC

I am a lender that has worked with America Trust Funding since 2010, they are extremely professional, knowledgeable and organized. Closing their loans on time is of the utmost importance to them and together they work with the borrower, realtor and lender to make sure that happens. They strive to provide their borrower's with the best rate, product and customer service.

Mr Helio Souza ..what can I say? Am really out of words to appreciate all what he did for us.Thanking you is not really enough to express our gratitude. My mum and I being a first time home buyer, Mr Helio and his team were relentless in ensuring that our dream house's buying process was effortless despite the many challenges we faced. We encountered some delay in closing due to my low credit score and my outstanding debts that were already in collection and behold Mr Helio personally pick up the phone, individually called each collected of the collection agency and negotiated an extraordinary settlement which i was able pay off finally during the closing of the house. I had a total debt of excess of more than $15,000 and Mr Helio negotiated and brought down the debt to about $6700 which obviously boosted my credit score subsequently. Our buying process just took less than 3 months only. This is the type of lender with guts you want by your side when buying a property. One who goes beyond the ordinary to help fight for you and ensure that his client's situation is resolved. He is truly an amazing guy, straight forward guy with a remarkable sense of humor . And his team (Mrs Sodelva and Mrs Kim) are nothing short of being superbe, amazing and take pride in what they do. Shout out to all of you not mentioned at American Trust Funding Mortgage Bankers, LLC. Thank you for making our first home owning experience a truly positive, memorable and wonderful one. We appreciate all your help...Your services are truly a five ***** Star Service !!!
