Testimonials

Had a great experience with Citywide Mortgage. Jeremy's knowledge and expertise made the process seamless. He was able to help us refinance our home and provided the lowest rates around. He came up with unique ways to help us lower our monthly payment. Would highly recommend him and the Citywide team!

Nandini PillaiNandini Pillai

I worked personally with Jeremy Karedan both on my first home mortgage and refinance and he was amazing throughout both processes. He helped make my first home purchase a breeze and went above and beyond to explain all the steps, which as a first time homeowner I especially appreciated. The refinance was even smoother and he made sure that I got the best deal possible. I recommend all my personal connections to reach out to Jeremy when they’re looking to finance a home purchase and I would recommend him to anyone who wants a seamless process and the best rate possible!

Pavan PatelPavan Patel

I can’t rave enough about my experience with Citywide Mortgage. Jeremy was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and helped me take charge in my home buying process. He was always available to answer any of my questions and did a great job of anticipating any questions as well. Great team, great rate, great experience.

Ushas JoyUshas Joy

Jeremy and the team at City Wide Mortgage truly care about their clients. Jeremy was very personable, patient, and extremely resourceful in helping me secure my dream home. The best part was that the entire process was STRESS FREE! These guys know what they’re doing. You won’t regret working with Jeremy and his team.

Rajeev NairRajeev Nair

It was a great pleasure working with Jeremy at Citiwide. He is very knowledgeable, very resourceful and always willing to help. I had a few challenges (that were of my own making) during my home buying process, but Jeremy was always there to patiently work with the underwriters and closing agents to meet all the challenges in a timely manner. It is my experience that he can give better rates and better service at a lower cost than any other big mortgage lenders. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in need of a mortgage.

  • Jeremy and the team helped me close in less than 2 weeks! They treated me like family and explained everything in a way I can understand. Having an in house attorney was also a plus, pretty much a one stop shop! I will definitely contact Jeremy for my winter home in Florida! Sheljo Abraham - September 26, 2019

Mortgage Calculators

Conventional mortgages are ideal for buyers with good credit and money to put down. They typically require a higher down payment, usually 5%–20% and also have higher income and credit score requirements than government loans. Typical fixed-rate loans have a term of 30 or 15 years.
