We were initially paired with another loan officer from another company and we were frustrated with their lack of transparency and communication style. Vivienne, on the other hand, was super helpful, transparent, and great with her communication.

As first-time home buyers, we are very grateful for Vivienne's help navigating us through this loan process.

Vivienne took the time to clearly explain our options, helped us secure a competitive rate, and stayed on top of every detail to keep things moving forward--especially when unexpected challenges came up close to closing. Her communication was outstanding--she was consistently prompt and even responded outside of normal working hours, which gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind during a stressful time. What stood out most was her ability to problem-solve quickly and advocate for us when timing became critical. We truly appreciated her professionalism, dedication, and willingness to go above and beyond to get us to the finish line. We would absolutely recommend Vivienne to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and highly capable lending partner.

I was introduced to Steve through a mutual friend, and from the start, he was incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and really took the time to help me understand everything. He broke things down clearly, gave honest advice, and always made sure I was making decisions that fit my budget and goals. I never felt overwhelmed or lost--just supported every step of the way. Big shoutout to Susana Lee too. She was amazing at keeping everything organized and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Her follow-ups and attention to detail made the whole process smooth and stress-free. One tip I'd give to other first-time buyers: don't be afraid to ask questions, even the ones that feel basic. Steve and Susana were incredibly patient and helpful, and having that kind of support made a huge difference. Really grateful I got to work with such a solid team. They made a complicated process feel manageable and even enjoyable. I'll definitely be working with Compass Lending Group again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a team that truly cares.

Through all those years, Eddie was always patient, never once making me feel like I was bothering him. He answered every call, every text, every email--always with professionalism and kindness. When it finally came time for the lending process in 2025, he invited us to his office before signing any official documents so we could review everything together in person. Even though he could have easily handled it over the phone, he wanted to make sure we fully understood every detail. That extra step gave us so much confidence and showed how much he truly cares about his clients. Fast forward to today, we are officially homeowners, and we truly don't think we could have done it without him. His guidance made the process so much less stressful, and we always felt supported every step of the way. If you're looking for someone who will be there for you from start to finish (no matter how long it takes), I can't recommend Eddie enough!!!!

While my parents introduced me to a family friend who was a real estate agent, I had no idea how to go about finding a loan officer! After digging through Yelp/Google, I stumbled upon Meridox Mortgage that had stellar reviews and took a chance. I called Meridox and was put in touch with Trung Tran. I let him know that I didn't have any knowledge of how the house-buying process works, but he was incredibly supportive and assured me he would walk me through every step. Shortly after we finished talking on the phone, he sent me a list of items to provide for the pre-approval letter. Trung's turnaround was quick. I sent him my information in the evening and got the letter the next morning. My real estate agent used this letter to draft the offer...it was accepted! After my offer was accepted, the rest of the process was somewhat nebulous, but my real estate agent worked closely with Trung to help me through. Trung was with me every step of the way. He patiently explained how my monthly mortgage payment and closing costs were calculated and even helped me negotiate a home insurance offer. He even kept a close eye on the market and advised me when I should lock in the rate. I thought home buying would be more stressful, but it wasn't as bad as I thought because Trung made every step clear and was very on top of deadlines. From pre-approval to loan closing, it took just one month! Thank you Trung for being so diligent and patient in helping me secure my dream home! Trung was also very proactive in reaching out to me a few months later when interest rates dropped by about 1%. I had the honor of working with Trung again for my refinance, and it was also efficient and painless! I recommended Trung to my coworker recently when she was looking to buy a condo. Highly recommended to anyone who is in a market for a house to look into Meridox!! Thanks again for your hard work, Trung!!!

A little background: I did 2 house purchases, and 1 house sale by myself without a realtor before engaging Meridox. I didn't need handholding, because I was not a first-time buyer. I wanted an advisor who can give me an honest opinion as to pricing, knows the neighborhoods, and can negotiate with the seller's agent. Linh was so on top of things. She understood that I was busy and scheduled multiple showings for me on weekends. She mapped out our route, so we can be efficient with time. She never asked me to consider any property that was outside my price range or not what I was looking for. I was able to knock out many home viewings with her, and we put in a couple of offers. I saw a house that fell out of escrow. I messaged her, and she was immediately on it. She showed me the house, called the seller's agent, and basically convinced the seller to take my offer that was a tad below listing that either that same day or the next. (OC is a hot market, so this was an incredible deal! My other offers all sold above listing.) She was incredibly responsive, super sharp, and very easy to work with. I used Meridox as my mortgage broker as well and used them again to refinance a year later. Very seamless and easy transaction. Forget all the agents who claim to "treat you like family." Choose Meridox: the true professionals.
