Can’t recommend Brian Traky enough! Brian made the entire process feel efficient, easy to understand, and we always felt informed. He took the time to explain every step, answered all of our questions quickly, and was always there for support! Appreciate all that Brian has done for us during this process!

I have been working closely with Chris and his team for a few years now. As a local real estate agent, I love knowing when my clients are in the right hands so I don’t have to worry. Nickel City funding works great together as a team including all parties involved to ensure the transaction goes as smoothly as possible!

I cannot say enough great things about Nickel City Lending and especially Chris Vassallo. As a real estate agent, this was my own personal transaction, so my expectations were incredibly high… Chris exceeded them in every way.
This deal had a lot of moving parts, and from start to finish Chris stayed in constant communication with me every step of the way. He genuinely calmed my anxieties throughout the process, took all of my calls, and responded to my texts and emails almost immediately. I asked a lot of questions, and he was always ready to answer them. If he didn’t immediately have an answer, he made sure to find it quickly and follow up without delay.
Chris’s entire team at Nickel City Lending was just as communicative, accommodating, and professional. We were working on a very tight timeline, and Chris and his team went above and beyond to get us closed much faster than I ever expected. They also worked extremely hard to secure the best possible rates and lending options for me.
As a real estate agent, I work with many lenders, and I can confidently say that I will absolutely be referring my clients to Chris Vassallo and Nickel City Lending. If you’re looking for a lender who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly cares about their clients, look no further. Highly Recommend!

I had an absolutely phenomenal experience working with Chase and Nickel City Funding throughout my home-buying process.Chase was attentive, knowledgeable, patient, and truly went above and beyond to make everything smooth and stress-free. Every question I had was answered quickly and clearly, and his guidance made this process feel seamless. I couldn’t have asked for a better broker. I will be recommending Chase and Nickel City to everyone I know!

Working with Chris Vassallo and Nickel City Funding was outstanding from start to finish. Chris is incredibly well-regarded—my agent and everyone else involved in the process immediately recognized his name and had nothing but praise for him and his team. That reputation is well-earned. They were relentless in finding solutions when challenges came up, kept me fully informed with clear, consistent updates, and made the entire process feel less stressful and more human. It’s rare to find a team that’s not just professional but also genuinely kind and invested. I truly can’t recommend them enough.

Nickel City Funding, Inc Inc made my home buying experience very easy! I never thought I would come close to ever owning a home. THEY MADE IT POSSIBLE. Colleen and Gamila were very knowledgeable, they were there to assist when I had any question form the simplest to the hardest, being a first time home buyer there were a lot of silly questions but the whole team explained everything to me and made me feel more comfortable with the biggest purchase of my life!

Recently we purchased our second home with the help of Nickel City Funding, Inc. 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, Inc to anyone I know looking to buy or refinance a home.

Working with Brian at Nickel City Funding, Inc was absolutely incredible. He was by far the most pleasant person to work with throughout my home buying process. Brian took the time to answer each of my many phone calls, provided me with detailed advice, and found the best rate out of the many mortgage lenders I looked through. I have recommended him to many of my friends and family who are looking to purchase or refinance. Thank you to the team at Nickel City Funding, Inc for such a great experience!
