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!

Mr. Duane has been an incredible gift to our family! His support, expertise, and professionalism were evident every step of the way. He patiently addressed all our questions and helped us lock in the interest rate we were aiming for. He’s truly a standout in this field — a real MVP! His heart for service is clear, and we sincerely pray he receives abundant blessings, both in this life and beyond. We’re so thankful for his kindness, time, and dedication throughout our home-buying experience and even after we moved into our very first home in the U.S. May God bless you always, Mr. Duane!

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?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’ve worked with many lenders over the years, but Duane Buziak continues to set the gold standard. I’ve trusted him with countless clients — and recently, I had the pleasure of working with him on my own home purchase. Simply put, Duane is outstanding. He brings a rare combination of deep industry knowledge, creative problem-solving, and genuine care for the people he works with. He doesn’t just get deals done — he gets them done right, with clarity, integrity, and speed. When things got stressful, Duane was the steady hand I needed, always two steps ahead and laser-focused on solutions. Throughout the process, Duane was incredibly responsive (even after hours), always keeping me informed and confident in every step. He explained every detail with patience, offered insightful guidance on financing options, and made sure the entire transaction was smooth and on schedule. As both a real estate professional and a recent client, I can confidently say Duane is the kind of lender every agent wishes they could work with. He’s not just good — he’s a game-changer. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to buy, refinance, or simply understand their options. If you’re lucky enough to work with Duane Buziak, you’re in the best hands.

I’m a veteran that had an average/low credit score. Duane was able to get me a loan when other “veteran groups” weren’t. Honest and straight forward guy with a very help team. I’ve already put some other vets on to him.

Working with Duane for years has been an absolute game-changer. He's a financial force of nature – a tireless advocate who never stops pursuing the best possible outcome. I've witnessed firsthand his uncanny ability to predict market shifts. He doesn't just react to rate changes; he anticipates them, ensuring I capitalize on the absolute lowest points. For instance, just last year, when rates were fluctuating wildly, Duane advised me to hold off on locking in a deal. Within days, rates plummeted, and he secured a rate that saved me thousands. His dedication is unparalleled – I genuinely don't know when he sleeps. If you want a financial partner who's proactive, insightful, and relentlessly committed to your success, Duane is the only choice.

Short answer: Duane is an amazing human and lender - you absolutely cannot go wrong. The hype is real. Long answer: Oh man where to start....It was Saturday night, I was frantically trying to set up some tours four houses on Sunday since my wife and I both work full time and are in school too. I did a ton of zillow hits trying to schedule with an agent and I guess at a certain point the universe said "hey you should get a lender" and Zillow sent me Duane's way. He promptly responded that night and we went back and forth sunday prior to our tours. He was able to provide me a worksheet for every house we looked at Sunday - HUGE plus when we went to the builders/relators with that. He answered all my questions (as a first time home buyer I had several) and even provided his personal experience. Super helpful. Down to earth. Also he was able to match/beat all of the "preferred lenders" PLUS he responded promptly (and on weekends!!)

I had the pleasure of working with Duane Buziak and his team at Coast to Coast and I can't recommend them enough. From the very beginning, their professionalism and ethics were evident. They took the time to explain every detail of every question I had throughout the mortgage process, and I have a lot of questions. Duane always took the time to ensure I fully understood my options. What stood out the most was their unwavering integrity—never pushing me into a product that wasn’t right for me. Their transparency and honesty gave me complete confidence throughout the entire process. Another highlight is their responsiveness. No matter the time or how silly the question, Duane was quick to respond, making me feel valued and supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for a broker who genuinely cares about your financial well-being and will guide you with honesty and efficiency, look no further than Duane! Truly a top-tier experience!
