Greg and Alex made the whole house buying process a breeze! They were very communicative and organized throughout and offered me a competitive rate and no lender fees on the mortgage. If you're looking to buy a house I highly recommend Carlson Mortgage as your mortgage broker! Seriously, it almost felt too easy.

We found Carlson Mortgage by doing a Google search for St. Louis mortgage brokers when buying our home. They made the complex mortgage process feel easy, were very accessible and got us a good rate. They always took their time to make sure that we have a clear understanding of what needs to be done every step of the way. We look forward to working with Carlson Mortgage in the future.

Alex and Carlson Mortgage were great to work with. They made the mortgage shopping and loan application process very easy. Alex was quick to respond to any questions we had and provided timely updates as they became available. I highly recommend Alex and Carlson Mortgage.

My husband and I had an opportunity to work with Alex at Carlson Mortgage on the purchase of our first home and couldn't be happier with our experience. Out of 3 lenders Alex was able to get us the most competitive rate and terms. He is very responsive, thorough and always stayed ahead of schedule. He has extreme attention to detail and made the process rather simple by keeping us up to date and outlining what was needed and why. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to get a mortgage.

As a real estate agent and investor, I work with a lot of lenders on a daily basis, but Alex and Carlson Mortgage have always been the most helpful and reliable of all. I recommend them to all of my buyers with 100% confidence that they will not only get the best rates in town, but also the best customer service and personal attention they could ask for. They manage every time to put my clients, and especially my first-time home buyers, at ease by patiently guiding them through the whole lending process step by step, thoroughly explaining every aspect of it. Being in the real estate field, good communication is really important to me, so working with Carlson Mortgage is a natural choice for me, for Alex makes his clients a priority at any hour of the day and I can always count on him to answer my questions promptly, diligently, and thoroughly.

We found Carlson Mortgage when we searched for mortgage brokers online in order to refinance our current home loan. The loan officer quickly responded and presented several mortgage options to us. Both the loan officer and the processor were very knowledgeable and professional. The loan was quickly submitted to a lender and we had a closing within 30 days. The whole financing process was made easy and stress free and there were no surprises at any point or at closing.

As out of state buyers, my wife and I relied solely upon reviews. Carlson Mortgage per review leaves the others in complete envy. Form their professionalism to clients out of state we were impressed from our onset. Our occasional meetings were through and no questions left unanswered. Even at the title company we were respected as if we were their number one clients.
Save yourself some stress and look no further than Carlson Mortgage. They’re top notch professionals with your comfort and trust at their forefront

Alex at Carlson Mortgage and his processor Greg were great to work with. As a first time home buyer I had a lot of questions, they answered them quickly and without making me feel bad for asking. They also explained the whole process in detail before we got started and answered questions I didn't even know I should have. Maybe most importantly they got me a great rate!

We found Carlson Mortgage after doing extensive online searches as first-time home buyers. The incredible five-star reviews immediately caught our eye. Alex went above and beyond for us from the moment we first sat down with him. It became clear after our first meeting that not only would we be saving money (he came in $3,000 less than our other mortgage option!), but we'd be getting personalized service and someone to guide us through this stressful process. We really couldn't have asked for better service throughout this process and are thankful we found Carlson Mortgage.

These guys are simply the best! I hate money, financing and all things capitalism but Alex and Greg at Carlson made the whole experience manageable and pleasant. As a first time home-owner I needed all the help I could get and they were very helpful, knowledgeable and kind. A++++!

I found Carlson Mortgage when doing a search for local mortgage professionals on Yelp. I did their online preapproval on the website. Within 24 hours I received a call from a loan officer, who scheduled a face-to-face meeting to go over the mortgage process and some sample closing worksheets, which I appreciated as a first-time home buyer. I even received a realtor recommendation and was able to negotiate a very good deal on my first home. I would use them again in the future, if I ever need to.

My wife and I contacted Carlson Mortgage when our realtor suggested that we get another quote for our purchase loan. Their quote was better and they made the home buying experience a lot less stressful than we anticipated. Very friendly and professional from beginning to end. I was able to always get a hold of them to have my questions answered. Very happy with the service provided.

I found Carlson Mortgage online when searching for local mortgage brokers. They popped up as number one on the list for Missouri and now I know why. I was working with another bank and wanted a 'second opinion'. The loan officer that I dealt with was very personable and took his time to educate me, going beyond my expectations. He analyzed the loan estimate from the other bank and his quote had a slightly lower interest rate and $800 less in fees. Unfortunately, an appraisal was already ordered by the other lender, so I was too far in the process to switch. Even then, the loan officer stayed in touch to help me navigate the process with the other lender, all the way until closing, to ensure that my home buying experience is stress-free! I will use him from now on for my future home endeavors and will refer everyone purchasing a home to them. If you are looking for professional honest loan officers, Carlson Mortgage would be the place to go!

We've worked with Carlson Mortgage on several occasions - twice for a purchase and once for a refinance. Besides having the lowest rates EVER (and we got quite a few quotes the very first time), their loan officers are always available to answer any questions that we have and do so patiently and promptly. We've never had to pay any lender fees or points and they don't outsource their processing, so there was not a processing fee involved. All of our transactions closed within 30 days and one of the refinances actually closed in about 20 days. Also, one of the purchases was done with us being out of state. We were able to sign everything electronically and do a power-of-attorney closing, without even having to fly to Missouri. They are the company that we can always trust and they have our business for life.

I have used Carlson Mortgage now twice. Once for our home purchase (30yr conv) and just now again for a 15yr refi conventional. I literally emailed Alex every 3 months checking in with interest rates and he always got right back to me. He was able to show us we could even do a 15yr when we never thought that was a possibility. He got us an amazing rate with an excellent lender AND we closed effortlessly in about 20 days start to finish. I was always updated and never felt out of the loop or unsure of our decision to make the leap to a 15yr. Alex is so knowledgeable. So happy we found him! Will recommend for life! Thanks again, Alex!

This is my second home I have purchased using Carlson Mortgage as the lending agent. My first purchase was for a rental property, my second for a single family home. Each time, Alex Gorodinsky walked me through the process, addressed my concerns, and made sure I understood and felt comfortable every step of the way. I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Thanks Alex!

I cannot help but praise Alex Gorodinsky and his team for their attention and counsel, and for making my dream come true. I purchased a new home a few months ago and obtained my mortgage financing through Carlson Mortgage. I found them by doing a Google search and choosing the company based on their amazing online reviews. My experience with them was highly positive and definitely exceeded my expectations. The loan officer Alex was very thorough, reliable, and honest and walked me through every step involved with buying a home. He was always available to answer all of my questions and made my life incredibly easier and less stressful during the whole process. The mortgage processor Greg, who was assigned to my file, was also very caring and helpful and assisted me with all the necessary paperwork. I got a very good interest rate, my deal closed on time and I am very grateful that I found Carlson Mortgage to help me with my loan approval. Alex and Greg were very professional, pleasant and responsive. I highly recommend them!

This was my first home loan and I had a lot of questions. No matter when I called/emailed, day or night, Alex or Greg got back to me very quickly and were patient and knowledgeable in answering my questions. They handled everything without a hitch. Alex personally came to my closing and walked me through everything. Could not have asked for a better experience! I would recommend Carlson Mortgage to anyone looking to get a mortgage!

I recently got my loan from Carlson Mortgage. I got the lowest rate from all local brokers. Loan process with Carlson Mortgage was super easy. Loan commitment was done 3 weeks before closing day. Thanks for Alex's great work. It was my first loan, so I had tons of questions. Alex always answered my questions quickly and professionally, some times even replied to my emails late at night. He made the whole loan process with no trouble at all. I highly recommend Alex and Carlson Mortgage!
