⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Experience with Vincent Luzietti at Trident Funding LLC!!

Working with Vincent Luzietti, Vice President at Trident Funding LLC, has been an exceptional experience from start to finish. Vincent made the entire loan process incredibly easy and completely stress-free. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and always took the time to explain each step clearly, which gave us total confidence throughout the process. He even went above and beyond by working over a weekend to help get our loan approved.

His professionalism, dedication, and attention to detail truly set him apart, and it’s clear he genuinely cares about his clients’ success. If you’re looking for a loan representative who is trustworthy, efficient, and a pleasure to work with, I highly recommend Vincent and the team at Trident Funding LLC.

Feedback on Vinny Luzzietti & Trident Funding

I have been working with Vinny Luzzietti and he has significantly exceeded my expectations. A few things stand out when working with Vinny and the Trident team. First, Vinny is hyper-responsive to calls questions and anything I ask for. Second, Vinny and the team work FAST, which I appreciate given my busy lifestyle. Vinny is a great listener and understands what I am looking for and why. Lastly, when I am working with Vinny, I feel like he is a true advocate for me. In short, I trust Vinny and he always delivers for me. He will be my very first call when the time comes for another loan.
