"Woohoo! As good as it gets!" is not a rating I use lightly. But Narbik Karamian at Benegroup truly is as good as it gets. Narbik was recommended to me by a friend who had just used his services to buy a new house. This friend is super selective and detail oriented, as am I, so I figured Narbik would be a good guy to work with.
He wasn't just good, he was fantastic. Narbik is responsive, extremely smart, professional, polite, knowledgeable. The last thing you want is for your loan not to fund at the last minute b/c of some unforeseen issue, and Narbik will prevent that. He's careful and proactive, which is crucial when funding a home loan, especially in this market. He's also an incredibly nice person, and very easy to work with. He made the financial end of the home-buying process sooooo much more pleasant and manageable.
Narbik is also an out-of-box thinker, the kind of professional who can bring insight to a difficult situation and come up with a solution when everyone else is spinning their wheels in frustration - which happened to us, and though it had nothing to do with our loan, and was a big mixup on the seller's end, Narbik helped us through it.
Note: I live north of Berkeley, not in San Jose, and was at first wondering if the distance would be an issue in communication. It wasn't, not at all. It was far easier to communicate with Narbik than professionals in my area. He takes really good care of his clients, and seems to genuinely enjoy doing so.
Five stars and three cheers for Narbik! read more
