As a first responder myself, that referral meant a lot. After working with him, we completely understand why he was so highly recommended. Peruz made what could have been a stressful process feel a lot more manageable. He took the time to walk us through everything, answered all of our questions, and made sure we felt comfortable with every decision. We never felt rushed or pressured. What really stood out was how hard he worked to find the right loan for our situation. He wasn't just trying to close a deal -- he genuinely wanted what was best for us. Because of that, we ended up saving a significant amount of money. You can tell he truly cares about serving first responders and veterans. We're very grateful for his guidance and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone honest, knowledgeable, and easy to work with.

She was very generous with her time, walking us through the wonky details of funding a home purchase. She was highly responsive and communicative and worked closely with us throughout this process, going above and beyond her role as a mortgage broker. She moved very quickly to get appraisals done and to ensure an expedited closing when requested by the seller. You should always shop around for the best interest rates, but after speaking with several brokers, we found her rates highly competitive and she worked with us to secure financing we felt good about. She and her loan agent assistant, Gladys, displayed a very high level of professionalism and clear communication throughout this process. She has years of experience in this industry and that proved to be a huge asset in our experience.

When my wife and I were looking for our new home, I wasn't sure who I'd ask for the loan. In the…read morepast, I haven't been too excited about the loan officers I worked with on a purchase/refi, as they seemed very "salesy" or like they were in a rush and didn't want to make time for me. I was recommended to David at CMG Mortgage by a co-worker who had glowing praise for him, so I decided to give him a call. Right from the start, David was friendly and professional and patient to answer all of my questions, even though I was probably a little demanding or seemed skeptical of the whole deal, based on my past experiences with loan officers. He put me at ease through the stressful process and was very responsive. He would tell us what information/documentation we'd need to make everything go smoothly. Our home buying process was stretched out over about five months, with us putting several offers on houses before finally being accepted. David was always reassuring and had some great ideas for us in a situation with an extended close of escrow so that we could be assured of the best rate possible. When we finally did get our offer accepted, everything went without a hitch. Through the whole home buying process, David was in contact with our realtor to make sure that no ball got dropped. He walked me through all the documents and even was able to be at our signing, which was an added bonus! He was even able to explain a concept to the title company officer that no other loan officer had explained to her before, demonstrating again his level of expertise in his field. I'd definitely use David again for a purchase or refi and I can recommend him without hesitation! If you're looking for a mortgage or refi, give him a call!

She was able to answer my questions in terms that I would understand. From the start she knew our concerns and worked around it such as hard and soft credit checks. She was amazing to have on our side because once we started putting in offers, she was able to accomodate any timeline our realtor put to have a competitive edge. Besides her website providing notifications and reminders, she personally texted to remind us what documents were pending. She was able to get us a good interest rate and really broke down the differences in how much we put down and how that would affect the interest rates. She even broke down future recasts and how that would lower our montly payments. I'm glad to say she'll be my broker for life or until she retires. Can't wait for her call to say lets refinance when the interest rates lower.

Based on his numerous good reviews, I messaged Stephen early last August about the possibility of…read moregetting a United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) 15-year fixed home loan at 1.99%. This was a new program announced by press release, which I read about in a Yahoo! Finance article, through a link on Google News. Having worked previously in real estate and finance, I knew what the key points were to our situation, so I included those in the message to Stephen, asking whether he would be able to do the loan. Stephen responded abruptly by saying that he would have to talk with me by phone, to discuss "details." After I called him, he proceeded to try to browbeat me into accepting a different program at a higher interest rate. His approach was to use old-fashioned psychological pressure tactics, along the lines of: "Are you so naïve that you think you could actually get such a loan? That rate is just a teaser that you would never actually get." He was crude, demeaning and even insulting. I informed him, politely, that I had a background in real estate and finance, so I was not naïve about these things, offering him one last chance to do business with us, if he was so inclined. But he insisted that the loan would not be possible for us, so I thanked him and said goodbye. Shortly thereafter, I found a straightforward loan broker who in fact did the loan for us, on exactly the terms I had in mind: 1.99% 15-year fixed, with a reasonable fee. We closed in less than three weeks and none of the things that Stephen said were obstacles turned out to be an issue. I am pleased to report that my wife and I are now enjoying substantially lower monthly payments. BOTTOM LINE: If you want someone with an "old-school" approach to sales--involving psychological games, pressure tactics and absence of transparency (resulting in your not getting the best deal that you could)--Stephen Wong may be a good fit for you. Anyone interested in connecting with the straightforward broker we ultimately used is welcome to send me a private message, as I'm not allowed to include that information in my review.
