Nickel City is great - and we worked closely with Brian Traky whom I would recommend highly. He is courteous, knowledgeable, transparent, and very very prompt & available. Brian made our first home buying process very simple and straightforward. We felt we were in great hands the whole way. Not to mention that we closed AHEAD of schedule, but if we had to do it all over again - I would go with Brian every single time.

Recently we purchased our second home with the help of Nickel City Funding. Our loan officer Brian Traky did a great job walking us through the entire sales process. His knowledge and experience in real estate made our buying experience easy and stress free. The loan processing team of Colleen, Gamila, and Tim were awesome to work with. The overall team dynamic at Nickel City is something you don't see everyday in business. The teamwork, willingness to help each other, and putting the customer first provided my family with an exceptional customer experience. I will continue to use and recommend Nickel City Funding to anyone I know looking to buy or refinance a home.
