My wife and I just closed on our first home, and got our mortgage through Neil and his team…read more We were beyond impressed with Community First Mortgage, and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a mortgage broker. Neil walked us through every step of the process and was incredibly responsive. As first-time homebuyers, there were lots of things we didn't understand and Neil took the time to explain things clearly. We felt confident we were getting the best rates, and had the best team working hard for us. For reference - it took us FOUR days to get our loan "cleared to close" from the day our offer was accepted. We had a 14-day escrow period, and our loan was ready to close well in advance. That was an incredible feat by the Community First Mortgage team, and took a ton of pressure off of us with such an aggressive escrow timeline. Lastly, Neil also recommended our real estate agent, who was another incredible addition to our team. The folks at Community First Mortgage have a five star rating for a reason, we could not have been happier with the service we received and look forward to working with them next time we are in need of mortgage brokerage services.

Julie Aragon and her team are simply exceptional. I've had the opportunity to work with Julie on…read moremultiple transactions, and every single time I walk away impressed, not just by the results, but by how she gets there. Her professionalism is top-tier, but what really sets her apart is the way she builds relationships. Julie brings a rare mix of creativity, energy, and genuine care to her clients. People don't just feel "handled"...they feel understood, supported, and confidently guided through what can be a very complex process. She's honest, communicative, and relentlessly hardworking. You always know where things stand, and you always feel like you have a true advocate in your corner. If you're a first-time buyer, especially, Julie is a no-brainer. She has the ability to simplify the process, remove the stress, and actually make it an enjoyable experience.

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!

We had gotten quotes from two other lenders and Rob beat them by so much, we even took a credit on the mortgage rate. And the funny thing is, one of the other lenders was the same company whom which Rob actually secured our great rate with. A true testament that his relationships and knowledge with lenders will get you the best rate. Also, don't buy into the big mortgage lender talking points. Once we notified them we were going with another lender, it was like dealing with a desperate ex! Calls, pleading, and getting managers to call us... and they'd never put their quotes down in emails. Rob gives you all the information and is happy to put it all down in writing. We had an insanely short escrow request of 27 days but the Sherwood Mortgage team managed to get it all done smoothly. 5 stars!

This was such a tricky loan, as it was for my first home purchase and I was hoping to utilize income from a converted garage studio to increase my borrowing power. Again, this was a very technical loan with a lot of moving pieces and novel situations for underwriting to navigate. In the end, Ray and Joseph got the loan done and got me a great rate! I would highly recommend working with AFL, as they have a wide range of loan programs and well-fostered relationships with multiple lending organizations. Last, I was super anxious throughout the process and both Ray and Joseph took my calls, supported me through the process, and kept me even keel to the finish line; their support pertaining to my stress was invaluable, particularly during a first home purchase!

Joseph took the lead at American Financial and secured a DSCR loan for me with much better terms and a very fair price for their services. He expedited the loan quickly, and he skillfully troubleshot any hurdles that arose. When he was gone on a short vacation, Alex and Crystal stepped in without missing a beat and helped move the ball forward in his absence. It was a relief that their staff was able to answer my many questions quickly with excellent and speedy customer service. They helped guide me through the sometimes complicated process with ease and friendly good humor. I was super happy to find they have access to a much wider variety of loan products and options than I found with the original bank. A great mortgage brokerage with great staff. Sending a warm thank you to everyone there who helped me with my loan! I am recommending them to my friends, and I plan on making American Financial Lending my first stop for loans in the future!

After 12 years of consistently good service at the Thousand Oaks Logix branch, I'm shocked at how…read morebadly things went during a recent visit. My mom and adult daughter--a long‑time customer--came in for a simple appointment to open a new joint account. What should have taken minutes turned into an hour of condescension and obstruction from the teller, Chris. Instead of helping them through a routine process, he questioned their ability to "manage the account," spoke down to them, and dragged out every step. These are two fully capable women who have handled their finances for years, yet they were treated as if they were incompetent. The tone was dismissive, patronizing, and frankly humiliating. It wasn't until I left work and came in myself--calm, direct, and simply insisting the account be opened--that anything actually moved forward. Only then did Chris suddenly become able to do the job he should have done from the start. The whole experience felt disrespectful and unnecessary. After more than a decade of loyalty, this was enough to make me ready to take my business elsewhere. If you value being treated with basic respect, be cautious about using Logix Credit Union.

Steve Marche and the entire team at Great American Funding Corporation are amazing!…read more We were most likely one of their most challenging clients for a loan with the head of household being disabled on SS. Steve and his team never gave up to successfully secure a loan for us. They did not just do the minimum required, they went above and beyond. Each step in the very complicated loan process (for us as first time borrowers) was followed up via emails and phone calls. When the first and second options fell through, he swiftly went on to option three. Giving up was not in Steve's vocabulary. It was not discussed, not once. When we had questions, it was never too early or too late to contact Steve. He would pick up the phone and take his time to explain everything. If he did not have the answer at his fingertips from 30+ years of experience, he was honest, found the answer and called us back. When we were discouraged and stressed, borderline rude, he understood and told us to not give up: "I got you, hang in there" were his kind words we heard a few times. And he was right! He and his team got us. They handled it all. We highly recommend Steve and the entire team at Great American Funding Corporation.

Success in life is largely based on who you align yourself with in various areas…read more We started to Refi our loan almost 12 months ago. We had some credit score issues but my income and debt to income were solid. I went from one broker to another who said they could get it done for me only to end up wasting time and money. Most of these guys use the same system and the mortgage business has reduced all of us borrowers to just numbers. They put your FICO score into the system and it's either a yes or a no. There is no expertise to this industry it seems. I came across Great American and Steve and he seemed to have a different approach. I presented my situation to him and after some analysis he stated he could get it done. Fortunately, 5 weeks later I have a closed loan through Great American. I am sure it takes years of experience and due diligence making the connections to be successful in this business and Steve has certainly done that. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to get a mortgage loan. Whether you have perceived obstacles with credit or property value, bring them to Steve and he can honestly assess whether you can get the financing you need. I am glad we did and we are now almost $600 in the black every month thanks to Steve's help. We look forward to future success in this area now that we have Steve in our corner.
