Michael Luculano is the worst lender ever. Stay away from him. He apologized last time by calling me and I took the negative review away then. Now I’m sure that I was wrong and should not have taken that review off. This guy simply have no manners and doesn’t know how to behave with clients. He will treat you like some beggar. There are tons of other great hard money guys in valley who are very approachable and decent in their behavior. Doesn’t treat you with disrespect like this guy does. I am sure his minions will call me again to take this review off but not this time. He definitely needs to learn customer service. Stay away!

Michael took great care of my client I sent his way! It was a very complicated situation for a client in a bad spot and he jumped right on it and took care of them. He ran into a few hiccups during the approval process and didn't stop until he found a solution and got the deal done.If Michael can't get the deal done, it's not getting done!

Five stars for Michael and his team. They closed our hard money deal for our client so smoothly and quickly, you’d think they used magic instead of paperwork. Efficient, communicative, and competitive. Highly recommend for a stress free hard money experience.

Michael and Lara were fantastic to work with. This was our first hard money deal and we had 30 days to close on our Mesa warehouse. We ended up closing in only 18 days, and only because we were delayed in getting proof of building insurance. They could have funded us in around 10 days which is crazy fast! Michael was super friendly, always available by phone, and helped explain and guide us through the entire process. It was smooth and fast from day 1. Entire underwriting process was easy and fast. This will be the first of many deals we'll do with them from now on, so we can make more competitive all cash offers. I really liked working with this group and highly recommend.

Working with Michael has been an extreme pleasure. Michael and his team are truly dependable, true to their word, and efficient, and performed in a manner that was quicker than expected. All requirements were met and we were able to close without delays.I highly recommend everyone to work with Michael and his team and insist on working with Laura, Michael’s loan processor’ whom without her diligence, our loan probably would’ve been delayed.Together they are an amazing team.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael to secure a loan for our home. He was able to gather our information, and close, record, and fund the loan within 10 days! the process was the least painful loan process I've experienced. The timing was perfect, we needed the good news and the great experience. Thanks again Michael we really appreciate it.

We had a wonderful experience with Michael Iuculano. The process for our loan was only about 2 weeks start to finish. They found us the perfect lender for our project with terms that were agreeable to all parties. He was super responsive to all of our questions and understood what we needed from the beginning. We will definitely be working with him again!

All I have to say is that Mike is well known and I’ve worked with him in the past, as well. He will get it done. In this case we had 48 hours. He got it out and signed in 24 hours, from the time I brought it to him. Saved customers house. Fantastic job, Mike.

I read Michael's ad in a home buying magazine and after having two other loan "order takers" just give up, I decided to give him a call. Best thing I could have done. Working with Michael is such a great relief because he gets that not every loan is some "cookie cutter, fit the formula" type of transaction. He takes the time to ask questions and find out what the goal of the loan is. In my case it was to unlock equity in other properties so I could better leverage my rentals. Michael had the knowledge and contacts to get my loan completed, and offered a few different solutions .Michael's assistant Lara made sure everything got done right, and on time. She is great to work with, and responded quickly to any question I had. Together they make a great team and I look forward to working with them in the future.

Michael Luculano and his team are nothing short of miracle workers in making a complex deal easy.My wife and I were recently visiting Scottsdale for her birthday and had decided to look at a few homes. Nothing immediate, just getting ideas for the future. Then on the last day we run into the perfect new construction home, only problem is we weren't prepared to buy. Most of our long-term funding was tied up in our home back in Oregon and to complicate things further, the seller had another cash offer on the table and a ridiculously fast 3 week closing requirement to secure the property.So, we took a leap of faith and called Hard Money Lenders with Barrett Financial and got Michael on the phone. That quickly took us from an impossible deal to closing on our new home in record time. Michael clearly communicated all the terms and numbers up front. And being such a rapid deal with a large amount of escrow on the line, he personally checked in with us daily.We have worked with a lot of great people in the real estate and mortgage industries for over 30 years and have to say that Michael is one of the top professionals we have ever met. A true expert in mortgage and bridge loans / private lending. Even better, it was clear to us every day that Michael truly cares about his clients. Best phone call we could have ever made.Thank you, Michael and Lara, for helping us make this North Scottsdale dream a reality!

Excellent service! Michael was able to close our loan at a lower interest rate than originally quoted, as an added benefit to the already pleasant experience of working with Michael & his team. We closed ahead of time, no suprises, no drama, just positive results. The professional, dedicated staff was impressive as well. For positive results, this should be your mortgage choice.

Awesome lender that made things really simple to work with. Went above and beyond to get us a higher LTV than most of the other well-known lenders and had a quick close. Highly recommend using them!

Steven Reger

Working with Michael was an absolute pleasure. I have done a lot of real estate transactions over the years and appreciate it when someone cares about their customer and getting the deal done on time and at the terms I was quoted. There are many bait and switch lenders out there but Michael and his team were always available when I had a question and when a potential issue popped up he was on it even while on vacation to get it resolved. That’s the type of service I expect and appreciate. Highly recommend if you’re looking to finance a deal.Steven

Michael and his team are amazing. I want to tell you that you cannot find a better broker who has the patience of a goat. Michael works tirelessly for his clients. I thought I was getting on his nerves but he is a seasoned professional and got the deal done. He is super fast 48 hours and it was done. He's simply the best. If you go anywhere else the experience will not be the same because Michael is compassionate. Thank you.
