They are extremely knowledgeable and work with you hand in hand. Without them i could not have obtained a super competitive rate when I was looking to refinance my home. If you want high quality service and folks who are responsive, look no further than Anthony Nguyen and his team, including Dominique N., who will provide exceptional unparalleled service! Anthony and his team are authentic and care about acheiving your goals when it comes to refinancing. I am so thankful that Skynet helped me to refinance my home!Posted on Sonia B.Verified From the moment I met him over the phone I sensed that I was talking to a very nice and honest gentleman by the name of Anthony Nguyen. Everything he promised from start to finish came true. We ended up refinancing two properties with Skynet Financial, and it was all because of Anthony's customer service. At times when we needed clarification on our loan, Anthony worked afterhours to deliver his help as if we were family. I would definitely recommend Anthony for your refinance needs. What makes Anthony different is that he truly cares about the customers he serves, and that's rare in this market. Shout out to Jimmy Huynh for all his help as well. Great team work! Again thank you Skynet Financial for coming through with our awesome finance rate as promised! Forever grateful!Posted on R T.Verified I had a 7 yr arm loan and knew that this was a good time to refinance my home to a 30 year fixed loan. As we all know there are numerous companies to go with, but sometimes it's finding someone you can TRUST that you know will take care of you. My refi took less than 3 weeks, not only did I get a lower rate, but I was also able to take some cash out to pay off my credit cards. I'm really happy with the process and on how smooth the transaction went. I would definitely recommend anyone interested in refinancing their home to use Anthony with Skynet Financial.Posted on Elijah D.Verified So I dreaded dealing with my refi, but I knew it was time to do so. I'm overly suspicious of everything when it comes to my precious home and mortgage. From my successful experience, Anthony & his team handled all like pros. Great communication, easy instructs on the myriad of docs you have to deal with (you just do), and good closing. It's not like I'm looking forward to doing it again, but I'm not as shy now either if it becomes advantageous thanks to this team.Posted on Frances G.Verified I loved working with Anthony because he got the job well done.He finished the refi in about 30 days. I will recommend him to everyone I know . It was a pleasure working with him myself. The best customer service I ever had when dealing with real business. He really changed me and my family's life , I will never forget about him. Thanks again Anthony.
