    I've had the pleasure of working with Gary for years, and he consistently goes above and beyond for his clients. His knowledge of loan products is extensive, and his experience in this area runs deep — he's been serving this community for over 20years. What really sets Gary apart is his patience and genuine care; I've known him to meet clients at their home to help the through the mortgage process, something you just don't see anymore. He's a true professional, and I recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a lender who truly puts people first.

    We had an amazing experience working with Gary Schick throughout the entire home-buying process. From day one, they were incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and patient, always taking the time to explain every step and answer all of my questions. What really stood out was their dedication and attention to detail. They made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable, consistently keeping everything on track and ensuring I had the best options available. Their communication was excellent! We always felt informed and supported. Thanks to his hard work and expertise, everything closed seamlessly, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I truly appreciate their professionalism and commitment to going above and beyond. I highly recommend Gary to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and outstanding guy!

    Gary was great to work with. My issues were others on the team. I spent over an hour waiting for verification after signing only to find out that I had to go back to closing to sign in a couple more areas. Not OK in an otherwise busy time with moving.

    Gary was able to find documents in PDF form from multiple sources to meet the requirements for lenders--fast and in person. We were fortunate since some institutions have difficult to navigage websites.

    This experience was great, took so many things off my plate. Always kept me updated on what I needed to do as well as the process of my loan. I would recommend Landmark to everyone purchasing a home where you are a first time buyer or have owned a home previously the team at Landmark are without a doubt the very best.
