Josh and the Watermark team were extremely helpful and dedicated during the purchase of our first home. All told, Josh and his team were able to take us from application to funding in 3 weeks. Everything went so smooth, it was hard to believe that there wasn’t going to be a hitch in the process. While the first for us, everyone we shared our experience with were taken aback by how seamless the process was. If it weren’t for the fact Josh and his team assisted us in buying our dream home, we would never look anywhere else for a loan in the future. A truly wonderful experience. Thanks Josh, Jess, and the entire watermark team!!

Joshua Crater and his team were wonderful in helping us get a loan twice for two separate houses. He also helped us on both of the refinancing of the two homes as well. We gave him all of the business was because he was quick, efficient and knew how to help us finish the process before a certain deadline. We tried others, but came back to Joshua because of his customer service skill set and AWESOME communication! I can’t put in words those words because he was there when we had a question or concern! Thank you Joshua we’ll be in touch on more properties in the near future!

I wanted to take a moment to recognize Joshua Crater and his entire team for their outstanding customer service in my recent home refinance process. The knowledge and professionalism of your staff was exceptional. My Mortgage Planner explained the entire process and managed all of my expectations before we got started. He gave me honest advice while taking the time to clarify all of my options on different loans available. He presented a cost benefit analysis for each option so that I could make an informed decision. Then he investigated the specific state requirements for Massachusetts and made sure he followed the regulations so that we could close without any last minute holdups. His communication skills were remarkable. He kept me informed every step of the way, and always made sure he was available to answer questions and concerns. I have recommended Joshua to my colleagues and family. Many people I have spoken with choose not to enter into the refinance process because it can be intimidating and time consuming. These folks really need to have a conversation with Joshua Crater’s Team and I am confident they would proceed!! I am so appreciative of the time and effort Joshua spent to make sure my loan process went smoothly. In this time of recession, we are very thankful to have worked with CraterTeam.com. Because of your experienced staff we were able to refinance and save a huge amount of money. We have secured a loan that will serve us very well over the next 30 years!

Thanks to Joshua Crater’s Team, I was able to understand the benefit of paying of my old tax lien and consolidate it into a new fixed rate mortgage. I am saving hundreds on wasted interest penalties, reducing my total monthly expenses and investing the difference to help me save for my long term retirement goals. The process was smooth and simple and my loan professional was great! Thank you CraterTeam.com!

I wasn’t sure I could refinance my adjustable rate mortgage into a fixed rate before my payment took a hit, thanks to an IRS lien on my home and a bankruptcy within the last few years…But my specialist at CraterTeam.com really went to bat for me and not only got it done, but saved me $9,400 in closing cost by locking the 30 yr fix rate I wanted at the correct time!

We recently completed our first refinance. Since it was our first, we had a lot of questions. Luckily our representative at CraterTeam.com was both friendly and informative. Due to purchasing our home in an Inclusionary Housing program, it was very difficult to find a lender that could finance our loan. Thanks to CraterTeam.com, we now have a low rate 30 year fixed loan and we couldn’t be happier.

When I needed to Refinance and pull cash out of Historical Victorian 3 unit in San Francisco, I couldn’t find a Bank or Lender that would help, that is when a family member recommended Joshua Crater’s Team. Your staff helped walk me through the whole process, from application to funding. Now I have a great new loan and I was able to pull out even more cash than I expected!
-Cindy C.



Thanks Joshua Crater’s Team for your continuing support in my search for a better loan and for keeping me informed of what’s going on with housing and financing markets. This certainly helps when others may try to sale their rates as being the best. Your efforts and honesty are truly appreciated, Best Regards.

Being a first time home buyer is a very interesting situation. You hear rumors or what you need to do and what you need to avoid. It’s hard to decipher which information is good and which information is just babble. When pairing up with Joshua Crater’s Team I quickly learned that they are top notch and really understand today’s market. In a market that changes every single day with laws, rates, and conditions it’s important to have someone that is really on your side. The skilled, trustworthy, and knowledgeable staff at Joshua Crater’s Team made our home buying experience a breeze. I did not have to stress and worry about the small stuff because I had a team on my side that was willing to do the extra work to get my loan done right. Do yourself a favor like my wife and I did: avoid the scams, the worries, and the possible loss of a deal and get with Joshua Crater’s Team so you can get into the dream home you have been working so hard for.

I am proud to say I finally worked with a loan officer that was on my side. My loan officer at Joshua Crater’s Team was able to inform me of when the best time to refinance would be, not attempt to push me into a loan right away. The advice to wait ended up saving me a few thousand dollars!
-Craig H.



I was previously working with a few different loan officers on all my real estate transactions. Because a few deals went sour, I decided to try someone at Joshua Crater’s Team. I am pleased to say that they treated my client as they would their own family. I am committed to only working with them in the future!

The residential mortgage industry is a very competitive market. As a commercial banker I know that a residential loan is viewed a commodity in the marketplace. The only variables are price and service, but at the end of the day a mortgage is just a mortgage.

Over the years I have worked with many residential brokers that have offered various levels of service. Their level of professionalism directly reflects on my name. When my clients are looking for a fast, easy solution to purchase or refinance a home, I send them to Joshua Crater’s Team. It is the nontraditional approach to the mortgage lending market that makes them the simplest solution. My borrowers fill out an online application, at their leisure, and then the request is followed up with a phone call from a knowledgeable professional for any other issues. It is really that easy.

The service has been outstanding and my clients thank me. I would tend to think that this level of service comes at a cost, but the rates are extremely competitive and they have been able to find financing for the toughest borrowers. There proprietary model not only streamlines the application process, but it solves many of the inefficiencies in the marketplace. There business will be the wave of the future in residential lending and it makes my job easier, knowing that I can make one phone call to fill any of my client’s residential mortgage needs.
