I have friends that have also used Academy on multiple occasions. Joe is sensationally responsive, personable, and very helpful in answering questions. The supporting team members I have worked with on my loans are equally helpful. Most recently I worked with John Caliendo. John was always available to answer my questions, extremely responsive, even after hours and on weekends. He genuinely seemed to care about getting me through this process despite some pretty large personal challenges and the tragic loss of a friend. He also helped tremendously in making sure I was in the best position to enter the bidding war process, as well as in helping me meet our close of escrow deadline. Thank you John, for helping me land my dream home horse property! read less

As a first time home buyer he helped me through the loan process and explained everything he did so I felt comfortable and at ease. Even as I was shopping around to see what better deals I could find, Joe was honest an straight forward about what he could and couldn't do versus the other mortgage companies. He even went as far to explain to me when I thought I found a better deal that they were not being honest and in the end it would cost me more, and Joe was right! I have to say I would definitely recommend Academy Mortgage to family and friends as Joe was a pleasure to deal with. Thanks again for making the process on my first home easy and stress free. read less

He's helped me when all the other banks said no when I was trying to get mortgages for my first multi-family units.Additionally, three years ago I was about to buy my primary residence.

The other lender dropped the ball at the last minute, after giving me a preapproval letter three months earlier.Joe and Academy Mortgage stepped in at the last minute, and we closed in less than two weeks!I can't say enough about Joe Hesch and Academy.

This being our 2nd home purchase, we were a bit skeptical due to our 1st purchase being a disaster, thats how we assumed the proccess would be. We were thankfully wrong! His communication, ability and willingness to answer our questions (know matter how dumb they were) and his complete honesty and professonalism through the entire process was absolutely amazing! He made the process very easy and kept us comfortable and feeling confident througout the entire time. He was even in contact after closing to ensure we were doing ok and didnt have any other questions or needs. We will definately be using Joe for every purchase we make throughout the rest of his career as well be referring him to all of our friends and family. Thanks again, Joe!! read less

Joe will always let you know exactly what is going on and if it’s not the right time to refinance he’ll tell you. I’ve always trusted his wisdom and I’ve never had to worry about that.

As a first time homebuyer, I had several questions about the loan, entire process, down payment, interest rate, mortgage payments, PMI etc and he was able to explain to me in a very effective way. All those things were new to me , however, Joe did an excellent job explaining them to me. Couple of things i want to point out that he is well aware of the market rate, his predication were accurate as to when the interest rate would go up or down and why. Second, I communicated with him via text , email and phone calls, and he was always available and prompt in my replies , with clear directions , even when he was boarding on a plane for work.Keep up the great work Joe, I'm highly thankful and lucky to have you guide us through the entire process. read less

Both Joes answered all of our questions quickly and in a way we could understand. We worked with both of the Joes (Hesch and Kemp) they kept us in the loop through the entire process, we did an original mortgage loan and then the HARP adjustment. Both Joes answered all of our questions quickly and in a way we could understand. Would highly recommend!
