Umar Gebril and his team at Academy Mortgage went above and beyond to help me close on my very first home within 16 days. I reached out to Umar when my original lender told me this wasn’t possible. Umar made it possible. Not to mention I was also overseas in a different time zone on business for 9 of the 16 days. Umar wasn’t intimidated by this. He and his team made it happen. The coordination and extra work this team did for me was phenomenal and detailed. The transparency and communication was greatly appreciated, especially for a first time buyer. I am impressed and I will be recommending Umar Gebril any chance I get.

Umar and his team were great! We actually switched to Academy mortgage immediately after our offer was accepted because Umar was able to offer a more competitive rate. Umar was quick, responsible and on top of everything. He answered our questions promptly and provided closing cost estimation very close to final statement. The communications were clear and effective. From appraisal to underwriting, every part of the process was smooth. Umar and his team worked very hard and managed to close in three weeks! We’ve enjoyed working with them and would highly recommend to anyone who’s looking for a lender.

Umar was a true saving grace when Homestreet absolutely destroyed a great deal. Umar and Academy started and completed the entire deal in the time it took Homestreet to get an Appraisal. Solid and effective communication is key to any real estate transaction and Umar excels at this. Umar is the first Loan Officer I have found that can truly reciprocate my work ethic. Highly impressed all around and will continue to use Umar and Academy as my Primary Lender for clients, we currently have another deal that will close this month. 2 in 1 month is great, 3 in 1 month will be great!

Very smooth transaction working with Umar. I shopped for rates and Academy was as good a rate as I could find. In the end, I chose Academy and Umar on the recommendation of my agent because the agency is smaller and could offer a streamlined process and quick close. Umar offered the he could be ready in 3 weeks. We went with 30 days anyway, but had time to spare. He also walked me through several questions as a first time buyer, over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less. Very satisfied.

From start to finish, Umar was the best possible lender with whom we could have worked. He was ready and prepared each step of the way. In fact, when we found out I was going to be out of town on the closing date, he arranged for a notary to meet with my partner and I on a Sunday afternoon to sign our part of the paperwork. I will be forever grateful to Umar for making it possible for us to accomplish the dream of owning a home.

Paul Thoma

Umar very patiently and intelligently answered all of our questions. During our initial call, I got the feeling that Umar was in no hurry. He was very low pressure as well. He gave us all the factual information and was anything but pushy. When it came to the lending process itself, it could not have gone better. He and his staff were LIGHTNING quick and helped us with any little question we had.

Umar & Corinne were absolutely incredible. I have never actually posted a review before, but things with Academy were so smooth and the service was absolutely impeccable. Past experiences with lenders were nothing like with Academy... It was a breath of fresh air to work with 2 people that were absolutely dedicated to making the loan process smooth and efficient!

Rachel Cvetkovich

Everything was great! Umar explained the whole process very thoroughly - there were no surprises. The whole loan process was painless and quick - we closed in less than a month. Umar and his team were professional, knowledgeable and polite - responded promptly to all our questions. We will definitely use him for our next loan should we need one.

I could not imagine a better lender to work with than Umar. Umar and his staff not only walked me through the process, but also contacted me along the way answering any questions or concerns that came up along the process. He and his crew were professional and honest the entire time and would definitely recommend to anybody looking for a lender.

Umar was excellent during my entire loan process from start to finish. I really appreciated his availability and willingness to answer all of the questions I had. The process was extremely straightforward and clear. If I ever need another loan in the future, I will be sure to come back to Academy Mortgage in the future, no doubt!

Umar at Academy Mortgage made my refinance incredibly convenient and simple. His team works diligently to finish the job in a timely manner and keeps good communication throughout the process. They were able to quickly answer any questions even during non-business hours. I would recommend Umar and his team to anyone!

Guy Murphy

Mr. Gebril enabled us to reach a dream that we thought would never come to fruition. Mr. Gebril looked at all of the alternatives available, and found one that most benefited us. Mr. Gebril was always available to answer questions, and keep me calm during my more stressed moments. Thank you Mr. Gebril!

Recently closed (27-MAR-17) on a house with Umar from Academy Mortgage. Was my first time purchasing a house and Umar made the experience so easy and convenient. He was prompt with responses to any inquiry often well after working hours. He was absolutely pivotal in helping me purchase my house!

Over all experience was great! Umar and his team provided constant updates and communications, answering all questions and over coming a few challenges for us. Loved the videos for what was coming next! Would be more than happy to use his group again and recommend them to others.

Umar is extremely helpful. We have to close our deal in 20 days and there is no other big banks can do that in such a short time. Umar and his team worked so fast and solved three exceptions in the loan process. We successfully closed the deal. Thanks Umar.
