Working with Dave Soza at Powerhouse Mortgage was easily one of the best decisions we made during…read moreour home buying journey. As first-time buyers with busy work schedules and limited time, my wife and I had a lot of questions, and Dave was incredibly patient every step of the way. He took the time to explain everything clearly, stayed transparent throughout the process, and consistently kept us in the loop so we never felt out of touch. Not only did he help us lock in a great rate on our conventional loan, but he also made the entire experience feel smooth and fast from start to finish. You can tell he genuinely cares about his clients. One moment that really stood out was during one of our home inspections. The contractor needed access to the roof but didn't have a ladder. Dave didn't just stand by, he jumped in with a thinking-out-of-the-box solution and helped make it happen! That kind of resourcefulness is rare and speaks volumes about how committed he is to his clients. If you're a first-time homebuyer looking for someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, and truly goes above and beyond, I can't recommend Dave enough.

Dave is the real deal! He got me and my partner pre approved after a good 1-2 hour conversation…read morewhere he never asked for any financials until we were ready! Which is a breath of fresh air considering as soon as you contact any lender, they won't give you the time of day until they see financial docs, which I understand but the way Dave worked. He wanted you to feel comfortable with him prior. The best part was is that everything that he said was exactly the same leading up to when we close our docs, which was our monthly payment plus the down payment, no surprises, and if there was, he worked with our agent to make sure that what we discussed was honored! It is now the new year and we celebrated in our new home. Thanks so much, Dave!

From start to finish, Jerry demonstrated unparalleled helpfulness, thoroughness, and an extensive knowledge of VA loans that made the our first home buying experience smooth and stress-free. As first time homebuyers, Jerry took the time to thoroughly explain each step, from the the pre-approval process to closing of escrow and he was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had even after business hours. We are incredibly grateful for his support and would not hesitate to seek his assistance again in the future. Thank you, Jerry, for going above and beyond to help us achieve our dream of homeownership. P.S We would highly recommend American First Home Loans and Jerry's services to anyone in need of mortgage assistance, especially VA loans as not many lenders are familiar or want to work with this type of loan.

Julie and her team are hands down the best. From the very beginning, they were incredibly…read moreresponsive, easy to approach, and made us feel completely comfortable discussing our budget and finances. There were many times we felt like we were asking "silly" questions because of all the mortgage jargon, but her team always took the time to explain everything clearly and made the process feel simple. Beyond their great communication, Julie guided us through a fast 21-day escrow that successfully closed--something we truly appreciated. This team doesn't mess around; they genuinely work in your best interest and go above and beyond to get the best outcome. Even after closing on our home, Julie continues to be just as responsive and helpful, answering our questions and proactively guiding us as we start thinking about refinancing. The Aragon Lending Team is always three steps ahead. It was such a pleasure working with this team during one of the biggest milestones of our lives. Thank you all so much!

TL;DR - 90 days to close refinance for 50% of home value. Poor communication and lack of…read moretransparency from the loan officer, Ben Mireles, led to missed timelines and never ending underwriting requests. Leaving two stars for PRMG so that others take this review seriously and stay away from this company. My spouse and I have refinanced in the past and are familiar with the process. However, we are exceptionally regretful for giving our business to PRMG. This entire refinancing process has been one of the most painful experiences of homeownership. Our loan officer Ben Mireles, never clearly laid out for timelines or underwriting expectations/scrutiny. Ben promised 30, then 45, then 60 day close windows but none were ever met. We are currently at 90 days. We were actually unable to reach Ben for over two weeks. I had to reach out to his regional manager just to get in contact with him. Customer service and communication with Ben could not have been worse. This company appears to be incapable of processing applications in a reasonable timeframe for anything other than bog standard first time home purchases. It truly felt like we were dealing with a JV team throughout the process. Expectations were never established for their strict underwriting thresholds, leading to lots of confusion and consistently delayed closing dates. Further, basic requests for our account statements and employment verification weren't made until the 45 day mark, slowing the process even more. We were constantly promised "this will be the last condition prior to final approval", but then came another handful of requests for statements and documents without any communication other than "underwriting needs these documents". The lack of transparency from all parties at PRMG left us feeling frustrated and in the dark. We wondered if we would ever be given approval or if we were being strung along. While we are on the brink of finally closing, I'm more thankful that this process is almost over. I do not recommend PRMG and will not do business with them in the future.
