What People Are Saying

I have worked with Darren from C2 Financial with multiple mortgage loans. He has helped me with my home purchase using my VA Eligibility, then refinanced me to get me an even lower interest rate, which saved me hundreds of dollars a month, then just recently did a Home Equity Line of Credit loan to pay off high interest credit cards. Great & Trustworthy guy. I highly recommend him for all of your mortgage needs. Nathan S. 12/8/2025

Darren Bortmas with C2 Financial is a great communicator. He constantly kept me and my husband updated and informed on the whole home buying loan process, from the initial purchase agreement all the way to closing on our new home. We cannot thank him enough. Michelle S. 11/23/2025

My wife and I were having a hard time with our credit union trying to get a home equity loan to pay off existing debt. A friend of mine recommended Darren from C2 Financial Services. I cannot even explain what the difference was in dealing with Darren instead of my bank. Long story short he got us a lower interest rate and closed our loan in 21 days. 5 Star rating for sure !!!
