People talk about fairytales and miracles, and are oftentimes met with disbelievers and doubters. Well, hopefully, after reading the miracle and fairytale story of my experience with Nicholas Akel, I hope if you’re one of the detractors, your perspective changes. I was under contract and unfortunately experiencing poor service from my broker. Less than a week before my proposed closing, I wanted to do my due diligence and find out about down payment assistance programs. A coworker told me about Hometown Heroes program and listed on the Florida Housing website, for Palm Beach, was Nicholas Akel. I called him for information and was informed the program’s funding for 2024 was depleted. Discouraged, I was prepared to end the call and hope for the best from my current broker. Nicholas asked if he could learn more about my home buying experience and was shocked I was less than two weeks from closing and had not received a conditional offer after being almost two months under contract. He asked if I would be receptive to his help. I was disheartened with my current broker and internally, I was ready to seek a new lender and had spoken with Rocket Mortgage but wasn’t sold by the agent. I felt helpless and thought I was forced to keep my current lender. I’m glad I followed my instincts and proceeded with Nicholas. Within 48-hours I had a DU approval. Nicholas wonders didn’t stop there, within the next few days from the DU approval, I had a conditional offer. Instantly, my joy returned! Every integral component and individual related to my loan was informative, empathetic, and communicative. This is how home buying should feel! I began with Nicholas on December 9, and I closed Friday, January 3, even with minor delays from seller! Nicolas was a lifesaver and creator of dreams come true. Don’t tell me miracles don’t happen because I met an angel named Nicholas. He helped me obtain the greatest gift and achievement, homeownership. Do not hesitate to contact him and be prepared for a blessing.

Nick is an incredible broker who went above and beyond to help me when other companies made the process difficult. I’ve been working toward buying a home for over a year, and thanks to Nick and his team, my parents and I were able to find the perfect home in just one day! With the help of Nick I have become a first-time homeowner and I couldn’t be more grateful—thank you, Nick, for making this the best end-of-year gift ever!

"I had the absolute pleasure of working with Nicholas Akel as my loan officer, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the very beginning, Nicholas was vibrant, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable about every aspect of the loan process. His professionalism and enthusiasm made what could have been a stressful experience into one of the smoothest transactions I’ve ever had. Nicholas took the time to explain every detail clearly, ensuring I was always informed and comfortable with each step of the process. He was incredibly patient, answering all of my questions with a depth of knowledge that truly showcased his expertise in the field. It was evident from the start that he had a thorough understanding of the mortgage industry and was committed to making the process as seamless as possible for me. One of the things I appreciated most was his proactive communication. Nicholas kept me updated every step of the way, from the initial pre-approval all the way through closing. I never had to wonder where we were in the process, which made me feel completely at ease. He was always just a phone call or email away, responding quickly and with clear answers to any concerns I had. The entire process, from the moment I applied to the day I closed on my home, was handled with the utmost professionalism and care. Nicholas ensured that everything was completed on time and without any unexpected issues. I felt completely confident in his ability to manage the process, and he exceeded every expectation I had. His vibrant energy, combined with his dedication to providing excellent customer service, made the experience both enjoyable and stress-free. He truly went above and beyond to make sure that I not only understood the process but that I was also getting the best possible terms for my loan. His guidance and expertise were invaluable, and I am so grateful for his hard work. If you are looking for a loan officer who is knowledgeable, reliable, and genuinely cares about his clients, Nicholas Akel is the one to work with. He made the home-buying process smooth and enjoyable from start to finish, and I cannot thank him enough for the incredible job he did. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a top-notch loan officer. Also, teamwork makes the dreamwork so a special shoutout to Kristen Dandrea and Frank Rosello for your help along the way.

Long before I decided to do business with Nicholas, he took over an hour’s worth of time from his busy schedule to break down the mortgage loan basics and application process – even beyond closing on the home – with me. His expertise and experience with the process – combined with his concise explanations and prompt responses – made him invaluable to me as a first-time buyer.
