Real people. Real challenges. Real mortgage success.

We'd bought our first home with FHA and wanted to go conventional this time around. David at Oxford got us into our Trenton home with a better rate, better terms, and no mortgage insurance. The upgrade in both house and loan felt like a real milestone.

Outgrew our starter home and needed more space. Craig at Oxford handled the conventional purchase on our new Hamilton place while we navigated selling the old one. Timing was tight and Craig made sure the lending side never caused a delay. Upgraded our home and our lender.

Second home purchase and this time we used Corey at Oxford for a conventional loan in Toms River. Night and day compared to our first experience with another lender. Corey was proactive, transparent, and the closing was seamless. Already told friends to call Oxford.

We did everything the financial advisors say to do. Saved diligently, built credit, avoided new debt. Chris at Oxford turned that preparation into a conventional purchase in Woodbridge with a rate that made it all worthwhile. Chris appreciated where we were financially and delivered accordingly.

Took us two years to save for a conventional down payment. Chase at Oxford made sure those two years paid off on our Edison purchase. Solid rate, no unnecessary fees, and a monthly payment that works perfectly with our budget. Chase honored our effort with excellent service.

First time buyer but we came prepared. Had our down payment saved and credit in good shape. Charles at Oxford matched our preparation with an efficient conventional purchase in Lakewood. Great rate, clear process, and we felt like Charles respected the work we'd put in to get here.

A mortgage broker quoted us one rate. Chad at Oxford quoted a better one on the conventional loan for our Elizabeth home. Lower fees too. Went with Oxford and haven't looked back. Chad was more responsive and more transparent than the broker ever was.

Got pre approved with our bank first. Then called Brock at Oxford for comparison. The conventional rate Oxford offered for Paterson was noticeably better. Switched without hesitation and closed on time. Sometimes shopping around pays off in a big way.

We shopped three lenders for our Jersey City purchase. Alex at Oxford beat both other quotes on a conventional loan. Better rate, lower fees, and the communication was in a different league. Choosing Oxford was the easiest decision in the entire home buying process.

Our credit scores were both over 760 and Abigail at Oxford put that to work on our Newark purchase. Conventional loan, top tier rate, and the payment is lower than what we expected going in. Abigail knew exactly how to position our application for the best possible outcome.
