Duane was remarkable to work with on the purchase of our new home. He made the process simple. Things that were complicated, he was able to break down so we understood exactly what we needed to do to move forward. He and his team were quick and efficient with processing our items, notifying if anything was missing, and communicating through every step of the process. Anytime we had a question, we could call, text, or email and he responded right away. I’m truly not sure if he sleeps because he was genuinely available around the clock. Duane presented all of the options in a clear manner and stated the pros and cons of each so we felt confident with our choices. He listened to our unique situation and got us the lowest possible cash to close amount. Even the sellers team complimented at closing how incredible Duane and his team were to work with, saying in all of their years, they had never worked with anyone better.
This is the 2nd home Duane has helped me purchase and I strongly recommend him as the only “mortgage guy” I will ever trust.

Duane is the man! He came highly recommended by our realtor, and he absolutely lived up to the expectations set by the many awards and recognitions he’s received.

He helped us navigate the mortgage process seamlessly, explained everything clearly, including the interest rates, and made sure we locked in at the right time (phew!).

If you need a mortgage broker, we highly recommend Duane! He goes above and beyond to answer every question, keep you informed throughout the process, and make sure you close on time. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Duane and his team were great! Duane answered all my questions in a timely manner and was patient with me when I asked the same questions over and over. He took the time to explain things in a simple way so I can understand them. Even in times of doubt and uncertainty, he was there to make sure everything was still running smoothly! I definitely recommend his services!

Legendary mortgage broker.  Duane's level of service is extremely hard to come by these days.  He goes above and beyond with everything that he does.  He did a mortgage for me 5 years ago and another last week, same great service after all of that time.  You want Duane on your team.

If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who truly understands complex lending situations, I can’t recommend Duane Buziak highly enough. There’s a reason people call him “The Mortgage Maestro.”

I had one of those more complicated situations—FHA, down payment grant programs, employment gaps, less-than-perfect credit, and all the moving pieces that come with that. From the very beginning, he treated me with kindness and respect. There was never a hint of judgment, just genuine patience and a desire to help me figure out the best path forward.

What impressed me most is that he’s an absolute numbers savant. He can take what feels like an overwhelming pile of mortgage rules, income calculations, credit questions, and loan options and explain everything in a way that actually makes sense. He listened carefully to my situation instead of trying to fit me into a one-size-fits-all solution. Then he laid out every option I had, explaining the pros and cons of each so I could make an informed decision.

He’s incredibly responsive—always available to answer questions, no matter how small, and amazingly fast. Every time he said he was going to do something, he did it. No chasing him down, no wondering where things stood. That kind of reliability is rare.

And when the inevitable curveballs came up—as they often do in real estate, like inspection issues or other unexpected hurdles—Duane never got flustered. Instead, he quickly pivoted, came up with a new game plan, and kept everything moving forward. He has a calm confidence that’s incredibly reassuring when you’re stressed and wondering what’s going to happen next.

Most importantly, I never felt like I was just another file on his desk. I genuinely felt like he put my needs first, even when that meant taking extra time to explain something or explore another option that might work better for me. That level of honesty and integrity is hard to find.

Buying a home is stressful enough. Having someone you can completely trust makes all the difference. I would recommend Duane Buziak, “The Mortgage Maestro,” without hesitation to anyone, especially if you have a more challenging mortgage situation. He’s knowledgeable, compassionate, incredibly sharp, adaptable, and exactly the kind of person you want in your corner.

Duane was the best. He worked with us all the way up until the end late nights and early morning. He gives updates and responds asap. He helped us when the seller was dragging feet and turning in paperwork after hours making the whole process a lot less stressful. Duane is the man
