The timely and expert advice I received from Robert and his team during this process were invaluable to me. I'm a fan of working with specialists in their field so that I don't have to try and know it all or keep up with it all. Robert is a true professional and knows this business better than anyone else I've met in the mortgage industry. I'm a real estate broker and have seen first hand the broad spectrum of capability and professionalism (or lack thereof) in the mortgage business. The no-nonsense approach and the delivery of market data and financing options by the team at Cornerstone enables the client to better understand what will make the most sense for their unique situation. I was very impressed with the level of knowledge and understanding Robert and his team possess and the great lengths they go through to deliver great service to their clients. Highly recommend!

We met with Brenda who is VERY knowledgeable in her field and quick. She was able to answer any questions I had for her even after we left her office. She isn't one of those Mortgage loan originators with a "car sales men" attitude. And that's what I loved about her. We did shop around for a lender before deciding Scenic Oaks was the right company for us to choose. And we specifically chose it, because of Brenda! After speaking with others, we felt that it wasn't "home" if we weren't going with Scenic! She took care of us from day 1 to today! Today we finally closed on our home and received keys. And I couldn't be more excited for this next Journey!! So if your having doubts, or are ready to start the next stepping stone in your life, contact Scenic and ask for Brenda! I am telling you, you won't regret it. We will definitely be back to refi with her!!! Scenic, don't loose her!! LOL

Where do I begin with this one?…read more Well, I guess first and foremost, I say thank you. Thank you to OMC Broker, Dale Ostrander and his Loan Processor, Linda Darneille. You helped make our American Dream a reality. That's right folks, my husband and I just bought our first home! There was nothing easy, or painless, or stress free about the last 110 days or so, but Dale and Linda at OMC Real Estate made it bearable. I honestly felt they worked FOR us, from day one. I don't think there was a single business day in the first month of searching for our home, that I didn't receive some sort of communication from Dale, whether through email or a phone call, that he had another one for us to look at. When the ONE finally came, it seemed too good to be true. A mile from my childhood home (being close to my parents was very important to me), in between the two cities my husband and I work in, and one of the cutest, no fixer-upper houses I've ever seen! Turned out, it almost WAS too good to be true. From the beginning, Dale wanted to keep us away from short-sales because of the slow process of closing them--short-sales are, unfortunately, what most of the real estate market consists of in this economy--so when the ONE fell into his lap before it even went on the market, and was a Bank Ready short-sale, we went with it. It was SO not bank ready. What should have been maybe a 30 day escrow, slooooowly turned into a regular short sale. When days turned to months, and I was starting to lose all hope of not only owning this home, but also snagging that wonderful $8,000 tax credit (Thank you Obama!), Dale and Linda didn't give up. Not one single bit. In the process of what is sure to be a person's most expensive and emotional purchase of their life, having a team like OMC is imperative. We'll never forget how they turned what could have been a bad experience, into the best outcome we could have hoped for. This might be the most near-and-dear to me Yelp I've ever written. I HIGHLY, recommend OMC Real Estate to anyone about to start the process of owning a home. We get the keys in four days...somehow, I think it will be an even longer wait than the past 110.

Just completed a refinance on our initial home loan with Linda manning the ship and even though…read morewe'd just been in our new-to-us 1950's home 15 months interest rates dropped again when I received a call from Linda with the news in March of 2015. Ended up at the close of this refinance saving just over 2% across the board including a drop in the interest on our PMI and interest rate for the loan itself which yielded close to $200 in monthly savings on our mortgage payments. The thing that I appreciate so much about working with Linda is that she stays up to date on the ever changing Mortgage Market, programs available and works individually on each buyers unique situations to taylor make and work within the real life circumstances of said buyers aka: Us. An example of this would be that when we began this recent refinance this year; 2015 our new interest rate was locked in by Linda @ 3.75% down from its original rate just one year ago of 4.25% but during that time interest rates dropped again and so she locked in the new lower rate for us saving us even more money before the close of our refinance. She didn't have to do this but she did. I love this! Communicating with her is as always super clear, precise and streamlined as I have not once during the initial home purchase as well as refinance had to chase her down to submit required docs, check on the status of the process or follow up on my initial contact to her as she lead the process keeping us up to date the entire way. For me this is priceless extraordinary customer service. I trust her with the delicate matters of our home financing needs and to date there isn't another Mortgage Broker I can say this about. Even though her office is in Modesto and we reside in Sacramento the distance was never an issue as we were able to communicate and submit the required documentation electronically via fax and email. Closing? Was also pre arranged based on our availability by Linda and we were given the option to have a mobile notary or go down to a local to us Title Company. In the end we saved bank and now have an even more affordable home mortgage thanks to Linda's efforts and attention to detail. I cannot recommend her and her services enough!
