Since 2003, I have been working with borrowers to provide the best financing options at Bluefire Mortgage Group. We set ourselves apart from others with competitive rates and mortgage loan programs, our ability to underwrite loans 7 days a week and our ability to close purchase loans in 15 days. We make the loan process faster, easier, better. My favorite part of mortgage lending is that it's riddled with complexities, challenges, and constant changes - there's never a dull moment!

Michael Massimino
Since joining the mortgage industry, I have worked on hundreds of closed loans, put together dozens of road maps for prospective homeowners, and significantly improved internal systems, ensuring the loan process is as smooth as possible. Working for a boutique mortgage lender has increased my technical loan knowledge, my interpersonal skills, and my ability to work well under pressure to meet critical deadlines. My favorite parts of mortgage lending are: creating an effective game plan that puts clients on the right path towards home ownership, alleviating clients' financial stress through a well-timed refinance, and navigating unique and tricky loan scenarios.

Since 2021, I have acted as the liaison for our loan officers while ensuring a smooth closing process. My primary focus is on processing and underwriting loans. Our team ensures that each borrower is handled by experienced professionals. We are able to update loan status daily and closely monitor changing circumstances. My ultimate goal is to push loans through internally to get them to close quickly and efficiently. I love the fact that each borrower's loan file is unique. This creates different challenges for every loan that we work through.
