December 12, 2025Shawn and his team were an absolute blessing during the entire home buying experience. This was my first home purchase and with this being the biggest purchase of my life... read more I had so many questions, he was there any time of the day to answer our questions in great length! Shawn helped us understand the process, get the best rates and loans that we could, and held our hands all the way to closing table. My fiance and I had multiple cross country moves, career changes, recently bought new vehicles, and my fiance had a bankruptcy, and Shawn was still able to get us into the home of our dreams! My family could not be more thankful to spend the holidays and bring in the new year in our forever home. Thank you North Star! I highly recommend.

Shawn is an amazing example of hard work pays off and going above and beyond for your clients really does leave a lasting mark. I cannot recommend Shawn enough. My... read more boyfriend and I just recently started our first home buying process and Shawn was there for us every single step of the way. No question was ever ignored or foolish. His communication skills and overall knowledge of his profession blew us away. He truly made us feel important and brought forth a winning attitude at all times. I can confidently say that I will always recommend Shawn and his team if ever asked for Mortgage referrals. It is bitter sweet closing on our home since we won’t be in constant contact with Shawn, but I know he is always a text or call away if we ever run into any questions.

At the very last minute they denied me a mortgage after months of promising... read more me there wouldn’t be a problem based on all the documentation I had provided them.

There are certain moments in life that you will never forget. The day that I was transferred to Mike Covello by Homes for Hero’s is definitely one of those days.... read more I was feeling hopeless, afraid, and embarrassed of pervious financial decisions. We didn’t know who to trust or how to begin to think about what next steps would be. We had talked to many, but there was something in Mike’s voice that let us know that he was looking out for our family and that he was the one. He is a genuine human who is skilled in his field. This shows in the time he spends with families, his nonjudgmental regard, and commitment to providing families with the best lending options. We feel extremely grateful that we encountered Mike and owe all of the other amazing people we connected with on our journey to our initial connection with Mike. FYI….We were sitting ready to close 30 days before closing due to Mike’s hard work. We can’t recommend him enough!!!
