¨When Key International
developed the ivy at the riverfront, it was burgeoning market with
seemingly
endless demand. However, by the time we delivered our
project in downtown Miami the market had suffered a catastrophic
correction and we were left with 500 units in a now oversaturated
market. This Problem was compounded by the almost immediate
pullback of nearly all major mortgage lenders; simply nobody wanted
to touch our project. Jeffrey Brown stepped in and offered to get
the project approved. Having been subject to so much negativity
coming from our other lenders, we were almost dismissive when he
said he would get it done for us. We just couldn't believe it. A
few weeks later Jeffrey delivered us the project approval, just
like he said he would.
From that point on. He became
a trusted ally. Jeffrey never missed a commitment date, fought
through difficult issues when they arose, and kept us constantly
informed with regular communication when reporting. He ended up
funding the majority of the loans at the Ivy. When all the other
major lenders failed us, Jeffrey was our go-to-guy and he never
once let us down. Many times we had foreign national borrowers
whose deals at other banks fell apart at the 11th hour, and Jeffrey
was always there to pick up the pieces and get the loans closed. He
is an invaluable asset to any developer through his experience,
savvy, creativity and determination." - Inigo A, Miami

¨Mr. Brown started working
on our 630 unit Opera Tower project while he was with JP Morgan
Chase, during the high point of the collapse of the real estate
market. In spite of the timing of the relationship, Mr. Brown
delivered a quick project approval and started to immediately
work with our buyers to obtain loans.
In mid-2009 I contacted the
local FNMA representatives to get a PERS approval for our Opera
Tower project. During the initial conversation I said that
Jeffrey Brown was the banker I was working with for buyer end
loans. The FNMA representative replied that Mr. Brown was the
individual with the most experience in the area of PERS approvals
and that I would be well advised to work with him for the PERS
approval on our building.
I have continued to work with
Mr. brown since his move to New Penn because he and his
organization provide the necessary tools to get deals closed in the
most efficient manner:
1.The most responsive organization
2.Great communication to keep us up to date on
each transaction in the pipeline
3.Loans delivered on time, every
time
4.The ability to handle troubled loans that
other major banks and brokers could not close
5.Most knowledgeable on the market and
competitive properties
6.Local operations, allowing problems to be
solved immediately." - Bruce K, Florida East Coast
Realty
¨I can see why Jeffrey has
a glowing and lengthy list of recommendations!
deals faster than any other lending institution. They not
only made the process seamless for our buyers but also stepped in
on numerous occasions to save deals that other lenders could not
bring to fruition. I honestly can't imagine there being anyone as
knowledgeable and market-savvy as Jeffrey in the business today."

"As the President of Douglas
Elliman Realty of Florida, I ahve had the good and sometimes bad
fortune, to work with many mortgage lenders on all types of
residential loan transactions and I can safely say that there is
not a more qualified, professional or knowledgeable mortggage
lender in the business than Jeffrey Brown.
Not surprisingly, Jeffrey is
available 24/7 for me and our clients. Jeffrey has continuously
made the seemingly impossible, possible and both he and his team of
loan offiver professionals take a personal interest in every
individual they work with "holding their hands" with professional
and unequaled guidance throughout the process. In some cases where
buyers have first selected other lenders at the suggestion of their
agents, Jeffrey has been able to take declined loans from others
and turn them into quick approvals and closings.
In our market which is
largely made up of condominiums, it seems that nearly every major
lender will find any excuse not to do loans, while to the contrary,
Jeffrey and his group finds solutions to problems and get those
same loans closed, in some instances in as little as a few short
days.
I have advised all of my 200
agents that if they want to get their transactions closed, the
safest and most reliable choice in the mortgage business is to deal
with Jeffrey Brown.
If you are looking to buy a
property, sell a property or simply refinance an existing property,
do not make the mistake of choosing a lender simply because they
have a large household name or offer a rate that sounds too good to
be true. Choose Jeffrey and you cannot go wrong!" - Vanessa
Grout, Douglas Elliman of Florida
