I cannot recommend this lending company enough, especially Max! Buying a home is such a big milestone in life, and the process can feel overwhelming, but Max made everything so much easier and less stressful. He was amazing to work with, always helpful, professional, patient, and willing to answer any questions along the way. It is rare to find someone who genuinely cares about helping people and making sure they have a good experience, and Max truly went above and beyond. I am so thankful for the time, effort, and dedication he put into helping me with my home. If you are looking for a lending company that truly cares about its clients, I highly recommend them, and I highly recommend asking for Max! Thank you, Max, for all your help and for making such an important chapter of my life a great experience!

We had a great experience working with Max! He was knowledgeable, customer service oriented, and he never made us feel as though we were under pressure to move forward in the process. Rather, he was professional and courteous and moved things forward in accordance with our readiness and comfort level. We would highly recommend Max as a mortgage broker to friends and family who are in the market for a home purchase.

We had an exceptional experience working with Max at Coastal Haven Lending on the purchase of our home in Florida, and I truly cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, Max navigated what was an incredibly complex financial situation with professionalism, expertise, and an unbelievable level of care. Our loan involved a jumbo mortgage, non-traditional tech compensation where equity makes up a significant portion of our income, the simultaneous sale of our California home, and—just to make things even more interesting—a mid-process job change for a once-in-a-lifetime career opportunity. Through every single curveball, Max handled it with confidence and clarity. What could have been an overwhelming and stressful process was made manageable—and honestly, even seamless at times—because of his guidance. He was always one step ahead, proactively problem-solving, clearly communicating every step, and ensuring we felt supported throughout. On a personal level, Max also showed incredible patience and empathy. There were moments of stress (on our end!), and he consistently met us with calm reassurance, responsiveness, and kindness. We never felt like “just another transaction”—he truly cared about getting us into our home and making it happen the right way. In a process where so many things can go wrong, having a lender like Max makes all the difference. If you’re looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also deeply committed to his clients, look no further. We are beyond grateful.

We found our home on a Friday and closed three weeks later on Friday. Max and the crew were very professional and efficient with all of our needs. We are now in our new wonderful world and we can't thank Coastal Haven Lending enough. Definitely recommend this locally owned business.
