Worked with them on an RV loan. Sent the sales agreement, when they sent the loan docs they tried to sneak in an extra $5,000+ like we wouldn't notice. The sales agreement was clear as day, with taxes, fees and everything included. Then when I called them out, they just didn't respond. Thank God we didn't sign up for the loan with them. Not to be trusted.

I can not say enough positive things about the service that I received from the staff at Seadream Inc. Initially I was really hesitant to purchase a large ticket item such as a boat while working with a company from out of state. Not to mention that my credit had some challenges causing me concern in regards to what type of ridiculous interest rate I would be possibly facing. Eric and his team presented me with loan options- and without pressuring me to move forward actually took the time to advise what would make sense financially and what would not in regards to my decision.

Once I took a breath and did the numbers it turned out that there information was spot on. From there, the staff handled the entire transaction without any surprises- yes I said "NO SURPRISES-." Thanks to the team and their patience and extreme professionalism throughout the deal, I am heading out in my boat later this week. I STRONGLY recommend this company. Mary Noa-Kempner

Did someone seriously give Sea Dream a 1 star rating for their OWN credit issue? We just wrapped up purchase of our boat and Tom provided nothing but STELLAR assistance, feedback, insight and professionalism each and EVERY step of the way! He was on top of every aspect of the loan and expedited everything right through! Thanks a million Tom!
