Jim and his team are nothing short of amazing. We had the pleasure of working with team when we refinanced our house. Jim walked us through the entire process and explained all of our options. He was always available to meet or chat to answer any questions we might have. The whole experience was so easy! We highly recommend Jim and his team for anybody looking for a mortgage.

Jim was absolutely exceptional. He came to me very highly recommended. From the very first phone call we had with Jim, we knew Jim was the man for the job. Jim handled everything with the utmost professionalism. Jim handled every single issue that came up with kid gloves. Jim stood behind his word. In short, he was a loyal, honest man. He will be recommended to anyone I know who will be in need of a mortgage.

When I began the process of getting a mortgage I was very nervous. Debra held my hand through the entire ordeal. She really made it easy and I would give her name to anyone looking for a mortgage.

Working with Jim Barry at Artisan Mortgage was truly a pleasure! Jim was always available to take our calls and answer questions. He made us feel like we were his only clients. Our home buying experience was a long and tedious one because we chose a short sale but the mortgage end of it was the easiest part thanks to Jim. Many times he would be the first one out of our “team” to come forth with new information about our sale (as there were many emails going back and forth between, the bank, lawyers and real estate agents). He was just always on top of everything and had we had anyone else I am sure I would not have stayed as sane as I did. Thank you Jim!

I would like to say that working with Jim Barry to secure a home loan was one of the best experiences I have had securing a loan. This is the fourth home my wife and I have been in and it was the smoothest time with all the paperwork. I would recommend Artisan Mortgage to anyone looking to secure a home loan.
(October, 2015)
We had an incredibly difficult closing. Jim worked tirelessly calling us directly from his vacation to give up updates. In the end he came through.
(October, 2015)
Our experience with Artisan Mortgage Company was a great one. Jim was thorough and attentive throughout the whole house buying process. He eased our minds on many occasions whenever we had any concerns. Jim always was there to answer any of our questions as well. We felt confident with how he handled all of our financial matters. We highly recommend Artisan Home Mortgage Company. Thank you!!
(October, 2015)I have refinanced a mortgage and sold a property with the help of Jim Barry from Artisan Mortgage in Islip. After meeting with other mortgage brokers, who plainly stated “it could not be done”, Jim assured me that it could be done and he delivered. Mr. Barry does not present himself as a salesman, nor does he patronize you with empty promises. He knows his stuff and what he doesn't know, he is willing to take the time to learn. I always felt as though Jim was working with my best interests in mind and I always felt comfortable calling him anytime I had questions/concerns. I referred two of my friends to Jim, both of which had equally positive experiences. I highly recommend Jim Barry from Artisan Mortgage. Thank you Jim!!
(July, 2015)
Great Experience!! Smooth sailing from the start. My situation was difficult and Artisan Home Mortgage helped me get into my home. Everything was accurate from closing costs to closing date and mortgage payment. Worked with Jim Barry and recommended Artisan to friends and family.
(July, 2015)
Our experience with Artisan Mortgage has been wonderful through the entire process of closing on our new house. Jim Barry has been extremely helpful to work with and we highly recommend him to future home buyers.
(April, 2015)Applying for a mortgage was the most stressful and nerve-racking experience of my life until I met Jim Barry. He made the process seem so easy and stress free. Jim answered all of my questions and addressed all my “nervous nelly” concerns in the most-timely manner possible. Honestly, I really question if I could have gone through this process without him. He was more than my mortgage broker. He was my confidant, my therapist and my friend. I have already started to recommend his amazing service to my friends and co-workers. Thank you Jim!!
(April, 2015)
We learned of Artisan Home Mortgage through my daughter who had used Jim and his company to obtain a mortgage to purchase her first home. She had had problems with the original bank and her mortgage was slow and tedious. Jim was able to obtain a mortgage with equal if not better terms and the process and closing was quick. When we decided to refinance our home we looked to Jim for help. He answered every question we had and was always available to us. He walked us through every step and obtained a refinance that was to our satisfaction. I would be more than happy to recommend him and his company.
(April, 2015)
Hi, my name is Salihah. I walked into Artisan Mortgage on a whim and there I met Jim Barry. He was professional and completely honest. My husband and I were turned down by 2 other mortgage companies previously. Jim looked at all of our information, made us no promises and explained exactly what we needed to do. We complied, and lo and behold, we were approved. Jim Barry and Artisan Mortgage are the best company in Long Island (my opinion). I will tell anyone who will listen to go see them in regards to their mortgage needs. You'll be glad you did! Once again, thanks Jim!!.

(April, 2015)I have purchased two properties with the help of Jim Barry of Artisan Mortgage and I would highly recommend this company. Jim goes out of his way to ensure a smooth, stress free experience. He is trustworthy, responsible and always gets the best deal in an ever changing market. I would recommend Artisan Mortgage to all my friends and family and I will use them again for my next purchase.
(April, 2015)
We had a pleasant, easy experience with Artisan Mortgage Company. Jim was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout our refinancing experience. All went smoothly.
(April, 2015)
I have mortgaged and refinanced my personal homes 5 times in the past years. Based on my personal experiences, I have dealt with different mortgage brokers and I have never met anyone like Jim. In the past I believed I was doing a favor by bringing my personal business to a mortgage broker, until I met Jim. Jim refinanced my home years ago and I was more than pleased how the process went. Jim was very diligent in his work. He never acted as a salesman. He always acted on my behalf and not on his behalf. Six months ago I again had the privilege of giving my business to Jim again. He made my life easy, by taking care of all “loose ends”. I wanted to refinance my home at an earlier time. But Jim had me wait until it was the “right time” that would benefit me. It was a remarkable experience.
I personally would highly (and insist) recommend that anyone I know that needs to get a new mortgage or refinance their existing mortgage that they will use Artisan Mortgage Company.
(April, 2015)I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Artisan Mortgage. Jim Barry took care of every detail from beginning to end, reassured me when my nerves got the better of me, and made himself available beyond a normal work week! I would recommend Jim to anyone buying a new home!
(August, 2014)Jim made purchasing a home easy and understandable. It was my first home purchase and naturally I was uneasy and had a lot of questions. Jim was there every step of the way, all the way up to closing. He is accessible and easy to reach by phone. He also was very honest and upfront about all the costs that I would incur when it came to closing. Jim was a pleasure to work with and I will definitely be going back when I am in the real estate market again.
(August, 2014)
Professional and honesty are some of the qualities that describe Jim Barry and Artisan Mortgage. They provided me with a great deal. If you’re not using them for your mortgage, you are not getting the best deal.
(July, 2014)
A friend recommended I go see Jim at Artisan Mortgage after I complained about my experience with one of the “big” banks. I wish I went sooner. Jim walked my wife and I through the process, qualified us for a mortgage quickly, and made the process of buying a home so much less stressful. Best decision we made. Now we are happy homeowners thanks to Jim Barry at Artisan Mortgage.
(August, 2014)We were extremely satisfied with our experience with Artisan Home Mortgage. Jim was amazing throughout the entire process from start to finish. Jim held our hands and guided us through and has always been available to help ease our minds with any concerns we had. Jim goes the extra mile for his clients and it shows. Thank you for such a good experience! Highly recommend Artisan Home Mortgage.
(July, 2014)
I'd like to highly recommend Artisan Mortgage Company. Their courteous, responsible and very quick service made it possible for me to obtain a mortgage for the condominium I now live in. Jim Barry took time and excellent care of me. I felt secure and sure while things were looked into, that I had nothing to worry about. My thanks to him!!
(August, 2013)
The entire staff at Artisan is knowledgeable and always provided prompt assistance in addressing all of the questions and concerns throughout the sometimes scary process of purchasing our first home. Jim Barry not only provided guidance from the get-go, but he took the time to explain things in laymen’s terms. I would highly recommend Artisan Mortgage and its services to anyone. Thanks, Jim for helping us make our dream come true!
(May, 2014)We definitely recommend Artisan Mortgage. In fact, I have already recommended them to two of my friends looking to buy a home. Jim Barry, our mortgage broker, was beyond helpful. He made sure we truly understood every aspect of how mortgages work and what is involved when buying a home. We had a difficult case and he was able to secure our mortgage. We are forever grateful.
(May, 2014)I spoke with a lot of banks and other brokers before choosing Artisan. I wasn't treated as an investment deal. They really took the time to get to know my situation and find something that worked for me……not them. No one was pushy and I never felt like my questions were stupid or my calls bothersome, which was very important to me. They made everything so easy! There was no playing telephone …… they took care of everything! Thanks again, Jim!
(June, 2013)
This is the second home we purchased using Artisan Home Mortgage. Jim Barry and his team provide top notch service and assistance in all phases of the process. I would never consider buying a house without Artisan's help. Jim's knowledge, hard work and passion are the best in the business. You are in good hands.
(August, 2013)
The entire Artisan Mortgage Company team was professional and knowledgeable. Jim worked very closely with us, supported us and advised us every step of the way.
(June, 2013)
We were incredibly pleased with our overall experience refinancing with Artisan Mortgage, from our first phone call to our last handshake. Jim and Elinor made what could be a long, painful process much easier. Jim always answered the phone to answer questions and Elinor was so on top of keeping us posted and emailing the necessary people. We HIGHLY recommend Artisan Mortgage for all your mortgage needs. Thank You again and again.
(August, 2013)
Artisan Home Mortgage showed professionalism of the highest degree! Their knowledge and direction streamlined the process and helped us realize a substantial savings.
(July, 2013)
AMC is a business I highly recommend! They guided me through the refinance process professionally and answered all my questions clearly. Couldn't be happier with their service. What a great local business for Long Island!
(June, 2013)
Thank you Jim and the rest of your team for helping us with our refinance. You helped us get a very competitive rate which is saving us a lot of money each month. The process was quick and you did a great job explaining every step. We will definitely recommend you to all of our friends.
(August, 2013)
We recently had the pleasure of working with Jim Barry to refinance our home mortgage. His ability to answer all of our many questions in a way that was clear and understandable was outstanding. He made the process very smooth and efficient. We would like to than Jim and everyone at Artisan for their professionalism, assistance, and kindness. We strongly recommend using this company.
(May, 2013)
We got the best rate on our refinance in record time, thanks to Debbie Chiappetta. Debbie was professional and honest and everything went so smoothly. It was a pleasure working with her and Elinor, who were on top of everything to get the job done. I would recommend them to anyone interested in a refinance or purchase mortgage.
(May, 2013)
I never imagined I would be a homeowner. The idea seemed overwhelming and so far out of reach. My husband and I became accustomed to renting. When I told a colleague how much we wanted a home, he highly recommended I speak to Jim Barry of Artisan Home Mortgage. Any doubts I had were quieted as Jim opened my eyes to all of the possibilities of home ownership. Jim and his staff were extremely personable, informative and charged affordable rates. They walked me through each and every step. Whether via email, phone, or in person, Jim was always available to answer questions and guide me along the process. Now I am a proud homeowner with monthly payments I can afford. Jim went above and beyond, even attending our closing and providing money saving advice weeks after we were all set in our new home. We not only gained a beautiful investment for our growing family, but a friend as well. Thank you, Jim Barry and Artisan Home Mortgage for making our dream an amazing reality.
(March, 2013)
My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Jim at Artisan Mortgage for over 8 years! He has helped us with the sale of our condo, the purchase of our home and most recently he has worked with us on a refinance. He went above and beyond to help my sister find and close on a condo which is why if ANYONE asks us if we know anyone in the mortgage business, Jim and Artisan Mortgage are the ONLY ones we recommend, because we know and trust everything they do.
(May, 2013)
Kevin went above and beyond trying to get us the perfect loan. He was a pleasure to work with. We closed at the time he planned and we are now refinanced with a lower monthly rate. We would use him again and will refer him to all of our friends.
(April, 2013)
We were recommended to Artisan Mortgage through a friend of ours when they heard we were struggling to find the right loan. The whole refinance process was smooth and Jim at Artisan really walked us through each step of the way. Right at the end of the process, we faced several hurdles that could have been showstoppers. Thanks to the extra effort and diligence from Artisan, we quickly overcame any issues and went on the close the deal.
(January, 2013)
Thank you Debbie Chiappetta for all you did for us. Debbie was able to get us great rates and was honest with us. She worked hard to find us a home fast. We would highly recommend Debbie Chiappetta to our friends. Thanks for an excellent experience.
(March, 2013)
We are so thankful we were referred to Jim Barry at Artisan Mortgagee. We bought our home in 2007 at the height of the market, and for years, no other lender was willing to help us refinance at today's record low rates. Jim was able to get us a rate that was more than 2 points less and save us over $600 per month! He was the only one that could help when no one else would "Thanks, Jim".
(March, 2013)
Jim was professional and helpful throughout the entire refinance process. He went through each step with us to make sure we understood everything. He looked out for our best interest throughout the entire process. We can't recommend Artisan Mortgage enough.
(December, 2012)
We had been trying to refinance our mortgage for months. After many unsuccessful dealings with other brokers and frustrated with the whole process, we were lucky enough to have found Kevin Dougherty and Artisan Mortgage Company. Our experience was, in a word, outstanding. They were very knowledgeable and kept us informed throughout the entire process. Someone was available anytime we had questions or concerns. And, because of Kevin and his keen eye for the market, we got a great rate and reduced our monthly payments by almost $800 a month! Thank you Kevin and Artisan Mortgage Company for making a stressful experience easy and smooth. We would absolutely recommend Artisan Mortgage Company to anyone who wants honest, knowledgeable and savvy professionals that will tirelessly work to get you the best deal.
(December, 2012)
The refinance was smooth and painless. We did not have to travel; everyone came to us, which was nice. All paperwork was done and made easy to understand and quick to process.
(February, 2013)
If it wasn't for James Barry and Elinor Matthews, I think I would have had a nervous breakdown with the headache I got from the seller of the house. James and Elinor took such good care of me. I never had to worry about anything to do with my mortgage. They were on time with every aspect and let me know what was needed in plenty of time. They were wonderful and I will tell all of my friends to use Artisan Mortgage when buying.
