Currently working with Patrick Grimm and he has been fantastic so far. Really helped my workout the program and get me set up with PNC bank to get my HELCO loan squared away. 100% recommend
Life Changing Opportunity For All!
They host a great informative video and offer a no pressure opportunity to speak with a representative to go over the specifics of their unique program to help pay off your debts and mortgage in minimal time. I spoke with Tyler, who was very professional, courteous and so knowledgeable. I'm looking forward to a second call to find out additional options. I highly recommend giving Accelerated Strategies a call to see how they can help you too! :)

Simon Steele and everyone who has walked us through this journey has been extremely helpful and professional. Their attention to detail and their genuine concern to ensure our success has been unlike any other experience. I am extremely grateful for their assistance in guiding us towards financial freedom.
Payoff less than 12 months …
I’m a single parent with 2 children that entered the program after to speaking to Simon S. I completed the program in less than 1 year. The strategies and techniques were “spot” on. The team was available for any questions I had. The security of having someone there throughout the entire process was very comforting. This was my greatest accomplishment and I do not regret investing in myself!!
I stumbled on To accelerated banking
I stumbled on To accelerated banking. Went thru a couple years of hardship so I really couldn’t put the plan into action. Never once after a few years was I turned away. I was always told when you’re ready come back. I’m finally ready I’m putting things into action. MY FINANCIAL STRATEGIST MIKKEI FLORVILLUS IS TOP NOTCH. WORKING WITH ME EVERY STEP OF THE WAY AND ALWAYS AVAILABLE. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Patrick Grimm
Patrick Grimm, my strategist, has been incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He clearly explained how I can pay off my mortgage in less than 30 years and tackle my debt effectively. His passion for helping people who are struggling with mortgage and debt repayment really shows.
I also want to thank Sam Kwak for generously sharing his expertise in real estate investing. His insights have been invaluable.
Excited to Implement the strategy
We recently closed on our HELOC and are excited to move forward with the strategies. Maria has been a calming and informative voice throughout the process. She went over the tracker today and it’s exciting to see that we have a mechanism that shows your progress. First we payoff some debt and then we tackle the house. Looking forward, not backward.
Simon Steele Our Helpful Consultant
Simon Steele who is our consultant is very knowledgeable and walked us through our HELOC process every step of the way. He is still a great resource and I am sure he will continue to provide the hand holding needed to further our success into passive income.
Great Investment in my piece of Mind
I am very glad that I joined Accelerated Strategies. It made following through and being confident about my financial strategy a reality. The team is knowledgeable and very supportive, as is the community of like-minded people.
Accelerated Banking
I joined this company in March and was assigned to Mikkei. I am happy that I took the leap of faith towards paying off my mortgage after putting it off for a few years. It's early days, but the process went smoothly from start to the point where I obtained my HELOC thanks to Mikkei, who was great to work with. He was very responsive, explained the process well, and his recommendations were spot on. Everything went through, and I am now on the road to making a difference in my financial situation. I am thankful to Mikkei and the company and look forward to the next three to four years.
On Our Way to Paying Off Our Mortgage Early with Expert Guidance
We recently initiated the mortgage acceleration strategy with Accelerated Strategies and are already on track to pay off our mortgage in less than 6 years using a HELOC. Aaron Anderson provided outstanding 1:1 support, walking us through every step with clarity and patience. His expertise gave us the confidence to move forward, and we’re excited about the financial freedom ahead. Highly recommend to anyone looking to take control of their mortgage and future.

I paid the fee to have Kwak help with…
I paid the fee to have Kwak help with setting up a HELOC. The first expert that contacted me did nothing to help. In fact, all she did was send me a list of three lenders, two of which didn't do business in my state. The next batch of lenders were worse. The entire list didn't do business in my state, even though I specifically communicated with her the state I live in. On top of that, I could never login to the portal and the IT department could never figure out my problem. I couldn't take advantage of the "guarantee", because you have to be deemed ineligible for a HELOC to get the refund. I wound up doing the HELOC on my own, without Kwak assistance...a $5,000 lesson in life.

Follow the steps and be true to yourself, and this works
Been working with Simon Steele since January, with everything being set in place around mid Feb. While it’s still too early for me to attest to the results, I can say I see the bigger picture, and looks like I’m headed in 5he right direction. The program takes discipline to effectively implement and the team is on hand to support you.
