I'm gonna get really cheesy and trite right now but I really do mean it when I say Brad Davis is a freaking MIRACLE WORKER. My boyfriend and I were told by several loan agents that our refi was gonna be next to impossible -- and these were people who had been in the business for a very long time. It was so damn depressing, I can't even tell you. Except if you've ever dealt with loan stuff, you probably know how damn depressing it can be. Which is VERY DAMN DEPRESSING. My boyfriend and I both have unconventional jobs (what's up, freelance life!), not amazing credit (what's up, poor collegiate decisions!), and aren't rolling in dough (what's up, american dream of home ownership!) -- and to top it all off, our house is an unusual refinance because we were dealing with what was possibly an illegal inlaw unit, a house that physically straddled two cities, omg I COULD GO ON. It wasn't even close to pretty. And yet, Brad was the only loan agent who took the time to assess our situation, and then work through the roadblocks, one by one. He never doubted that it could and would happen, and guided us through the entire terrifying project and to a successful refinance. The day the loan funded, my boyfriend and I drank all the margaritas and cheered Brad the entire time. All that, and he was crazy nice, an easy communicator, and just all around the best. If you're in the SF Bay Area and need someone to work with on a loan or refi, I cannot recommend Brad Davis enough. BRAD DAVIS FOR PRESIDENT!!!* *I get attached pretty easily, but really -- I think this guy would be a wonderful leader of the free world. read more

This guy follows up. He puts people in good loans. He solves problems. He really seems to get it, and not have all the hurdles that bog down other deals. I have the utmost confidence in Brad, and couldn't sing his praise enough. I don't find most mortgage brokers to come up as interesting topics at parties, but Brad definitely comes up from time to time with his unique loan style. If you're making money, you can pay off your loan in like 7 years and save a few hundred thousand dollars.... no joke. Check him out. read more

We have been referring our clients to Brad Davis for over 8 years now and have developed a strong professional relationship with him over that period of time. It is very important as a comprehensive financial advisory firm to make sure our clients receive the best service when their needs fall out of our core competencies of financial planning and wealth management. Unlike most mortgage professionals, Brad goes the extra mile to make sure the clients we refer know exactly what to expect from the financing process (albeit growing more complex every day). I would and will continue to refer all of our clients to Brad in the future and highly recommend his services. read more

Given that I discussed with Brad my absolute displeasure with our recent dealings, this review should not be a suprise. We worked with Brad twice, first for the initial purchase of our home and then a years later to refinance. Our first experience with Brad had a few snags, but was mostly positive. I cannot say anything positive about our latest refinance experience. From start to finish, we were plagued with mistakes and misinformation that made the whole process stressful, unnecessarily long, and totally frustrating. We repeatedly had to supply the exact same information, had to deal with the wrong paperwork being given to employers, incorrect calculations on forms and on the initial interest rate, getting a call that the deal was going to fall through due to misinformation, and so many other horrible events. Many of the mistakes were blamed on the fact that they were working with a new lender for our loan, but it was an obvious lack of office communication that seemed to be the cause. I voiced my clear displeasure about how the process was going, and it was awknowledged that too many mistakes occurred. It really did feel like anything that could go wrong did, and I was really let down. We were working on my most important asset, my home, and it was such a daily drain to have to fix mistakes and put out fires that I didn't start. Additionally, and this is small, we were told we would receive something to say "thank you" for working with Brad and his team. We never even received a card. This extra slight did feel appropriate based on the level of disorganization we experienced. I had previously recommended friends to use Brad, but will no longer be doing so. I will look elsewhere for any future mortgage needs. read more

I am a realtor, and as such, it is vitally important for me to work with a team of professionals who will provide my clients with a smooth and seamless transaction. I know when Brad is on my team that the loan will be handled with the utmost care, that we won't have any surprises, and that we will close on time...and if you know anything about this industry, that is saying alot! Brad is a great communicator. He cares about his clients, and he goes to great lengths to assure that his clients have a successful experience. Not only do I recommend my clients to Brad, but I also personally use Brad for my mortgage needs. Brad is a great loan officer! read more

We have had excellent service from Brad Davis for over 15 years. We had endless questions the first time we purchased a home, and Brad patiently walked us through everything.

Closed on my home this week and I am grateful to Brad for making it happen! read more

This is not just one successful transaction . . . it is consistent service year after year. If you need someone you can COUNT ON to successfully close your purchase or refinance; Just call Brad, period. (925) 983-3155. read more

Brad is a thorough professional with high integrity. During the loan application process he was clear, well informed and extremely competent. He gave us confidence from the get go. He worked very closely with my real estate agent to ensure that the closing of my loan was and eventually my home was smooth. Most of all Brad is a great human being and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a partner who will work with your needs. Home buying is a stressful experience and you want to person who has experience, integrity, and most of all someone who can inspire confidence and can shepherd you through the loan process. Brad is that person. read more

5 Stars just isn't good enough. Brad is extremely professional and there are no surprises. Which I find rare in today's world. Trying to get a loan now days is really difficult and the companies, or the few that I've dealt with, are slow, unorganized and don't get results. Not Brad, he is very knowledgable and can make quick & accurate decisions. Most important, he can help bring positivity and light to a very stressful situation. When Brad says it will be a smooth transaction, he's not kidding. I can't say enough and would recommend him to anyone. You don't have to think twice going with Brad! Oliver :) read more

Brad Davis is a guy that I had built up alot of good expectations about. It had taken a long time to persuade my GF to see him and in the mean time i noticed one 5-Star review after another piling up on his yelp page. And yet when we finally met him, he still exceeded our expectations. He was gracious, extremely well-informed, funny and gave us great advice about our financial situation overall that makes total sense.It has been mentioned here before, but he has a way of making a seemingly hopeless situation very workable. We are now busy taking the first steps to climbing our way out of the swamp of a 2008 NINJA loan to the solid footing of 30 yr fixed with a low locked-in interest rate. Thank You Brad! read more

Not much more I can say that the other 5 star posts haven't hit on. Brad Davis is the best financial representative in the area. Making a long story short, I do not have much left after a divorce and house sale during the worst economic time I can remember. The last thing I wanted to do was have my finances scrutinized, but I was determined to own my own home again. I went to a bank to ask about getting pre-approved, I was depressed when I left and pretty much felt as if it was a "don't call us, we'll call you" situation - so when my realtor suggested I contact Brad, I thought "why bother, I'm just dreaming" Then my phone rang, it was Brad, calling to introduce himself and find out what he could do for me. Brad made me feel immediately at ease and instantly a friend. Brad is a very down to earth genuinely helpful person. He was unassuming, did not judge, and is patient to the nth degree. Brad looked at my situation, worked with me to determine what was best for me, and Brad was able to get me a loan that worked for me. Brad kept me informed at each step of the process and didn't mind my silly questions. My loan funded today, I couldn't be happier. I find it very reassuring in this electronic age where email and texting is the main communication, that there are still people like Brad that honestly enjoy helping others, if you call Brad, there is no "press 1 for ... press 2 ..." button, you either get Brad answering the phone himself, or you get his voicemail AND HE CALLS YOU BACK - go figure, real A+ customer service. Brad is very knowledgable and gave me excellent advice. I absolutely recommend Brad Davis ! read more

I don't mean to be over the top, but Brad really is this good. Here's my experience. Before I got to Brad, I had tried several other mortgage brokers. And while nice people for the most part, I never felt like they were really on my timeline; in other words, I always felt like I was pushing them to hurry up. But when Brad got on the scene, all that changed. If I sent him some docs, he responded same day. If I didn't send him some docs, he followed up with me. I was referred to him by a very dear neighbor and I have since already tried to get several people to use him myself. I am completely unsurprised to see on here that he has such high ratings, because frankly he is the real thing and deserves them all. He's assiduous, creative, and keeps an even keel--which was pretty important in my case, unconventional as it was. Couldn't possible recommend him more highly. I mean, not just among mortgage brokers. I honestly can't think of a professional I've ever worked with who's done a better job...at anything. read more

Thank you Brad Davis! In a time when home refinance is extrememly difficult Brad found a loan that other Mortgage specialists said were not available. Brad is always professional and honest throughout the process regarding timelines, fees, etc. and saved us A LOT of money in our house payment!! We would refer him without hesitation. read more

Brad has been absolutely amazing during my current lending experience. He is honest, extremely knowledgeable and provides solid advice. Brad also takes the time to really understand your lending needs and is very realistic about what loan you should accept for the purchase of your property. This is my second loan with Brad. I also did a streamline refinance loan when I had an FHA loan. With the help of Brad, my monthly FHA mortgage was reduced. What can be an extremely overwhelming loan experience, Brad educates you on every detail to make the experience a positive one! Thank you, Brad!!! read more

i recently finalized a home purchase with Brad's help. He was not only friendly and easy to work with but also worked hard to get the best loan deal possible. He even made sure that the title company that i used was giving me favorable prices - i did not know they could vary that much. I felt i could really trust Brad in this process - I highly recommend him - you will be very happy if you choose to work with him! read more
