Real feedback from Michigan homebuyers.
"I was pretty clueless as to how the whole process worked. My realtor referred me to Dan and Advantage Home Loans. Dan was great — very knowledgeable, helpful, and honest about what to expect and what was expected of me. He was very attentive and always available to answer my questions. For a lengthy and at times overwhelming process, Dan helped make it as smooth and easy as possible."

He was reachable and so gracious with his time, making sure we truly understood each step. We greatly appreciate how simple and pleasant he made the process, and we will highly recommend him."
"Dan was knowledgeable and reliable through every step, from preapproval to the purchase of our new home.
