Working with Duane was a fantastic experience from start to finish. He guided me through the mortgage process with ease, making everything straightforward and stress-free. His communication was clear and consistent, and I always felt well-informed and supported. Duane truly had my best interests at heart—his honesty, professionalism, and friendly nature made all the difference. He’s not only highly knowledgeable, but also someone you can trust and feel comfortable with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a mortgage broker who genuinely cares. Thank you so much, Duane

As a first-time homebuyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than working with Duane Buziak and his team at Coast to Coast. He made the entire process smooth, professional, and stress-free. Even when challenges came up with our agent’s title company, Duane stayed calm, supportive, and went above and beyond to guide us through. My fiancé, who has purchased several homes before, said this was by far the easiest experience he’s ever had. I highly recommend Duane and Coast to Coast for all your lending needs!

Response from the owner 16:31 03 Oct 25

Duane Buziak was a Godsend. With patience and outstanding professionalism, Duane guided me through not only a new home purchase, but navigating an emotional life transition. He is a master who competes with only him self…as he is number 1. He works tirelessly to garner the best interest rate and loan situation. He is respected by his peers and other professionals within his network. I couldn’t have made it through this daunting experience without his encouragement and expertise.

Although I had an overwhelming complicated style of income, Duane was a rockstar and made it happen. He dug around and found what worked for me and when lenders complicated the process even more, Duane was on top of things and we worked it out together. Things got done efficiently and neatly. A true master in his field! You can tell he lives and breaths his career and loves what he does. 🙌🙌🙌

Response from the owner 00:57 07 Sep 25

Duane is the real deal
Is he over the top…Absolutely!
Is he aggressive…Yes!
Will he reach out to you as soon as you inquire…you bet!!!
And at the end of the day he will use that energy to get you the best deal that fits your needs.
We started out working with him almost 3 years ago. We were in a desperate situation. We did not have the necessary history for a conventional mortgage. The company that Duane worked for them did not handle such cases. When he exhausted all available avenues at his disposal, he gave me another contact who handled those cases. While that broker was far from the worker Duane was, he had an angel working for him “Crystal” her hard work and council led us to getting it done…
Flash forward to this month. I had always said I would seek Duane when we were able to refinance…our pay history was now sufficient, our credit scores had been pushed up. Duane sends an email. We reconnected.
Talking at 10pm ( someone who sleeps less than me)
2am emails ( yes I was up as well)
3 weeks later
We just signed our refi loan
3.5% drop
Closing was 2 weeks ahead of schedule
No glitches!
Why
Duane knows the business!
Duane grinds!
Duane listens to what you want!
Duane doesn’t push at the end!
Thank you Maestro!

Duane was super knowledgeable and definitely the best broker I've used–he really fought to get us the best rate possible and kept me in the loop at all times.

As you can tell by my username I am not a publicity hound. But I have to stop and thank Duane Buziak. I know he is the maestro but I didn't know he also saves money on title fees too. Wow. I compared over 7 different title companies and it wasn't even close. Talk about someone going the extra mile. Best rates lowest fees, and then he sent me a title company that I swear to God charged almost nothing for title fees. Amen. He goes above and beyond anyone. I had purchased 4 homes before this, never had a smoother, easier, less painful experience. And the savings, they are very real. If you are not using Duane Buziak for your mortgage, why?

Response from the owner 02:29 06 Aug 25

Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm delighted that you valued the low title fees with no settlement charge and felt the mortgage process was seamless and stress-free. Assisting you in saving money as your mortgage broker and providing a positive experience is always my aim here in Virginia
