A huge thank you to the staff and especially Wade Korenko for helping me through my 3rd refinance! Wade is a true miracle worker and doesn't know the word "can't ".

I highly recommend Wade and his staff and wouldn't hesitate to use them again! read more

WADE IS AWESOME!! After speaking to so many lenders that were both impossible to get a hold of and useless at answering questions I was referred to Wade by a friend. He was so lovely to speak with, super knowledgeable and he went out of his way to be as helpful as possible. Such a great guy. Highly recommended. read more

John and his team recently put together a mortgage for us after we paid cash for a house. We weren't sure how easy the process was going to be but John made it seamless and simple. Not only did they lock us in to a great low rate but they also shifted things around mid way thru the process to take advantage of the best possible situation for us to close as quickly as possible. After the initial paperwork Was completed, John connected us with one of his employees named Cary. Cary was very clearly committed to helping us and providing outstanding customer service throughout the entire process. Towards the end, Cary arranged for us to sign all of the documents wherever it was most convenient for us. We always had the feeling that we were a priority to them and because of that, would highly recommend Contempo Lending to anyone who is looking to get a mortgage or do a refi. read more

I had a fantastic experience with Contempo! Michael Glenner was great to work with, especially since I was a first-time home-buyer and needed him to guide me through the process. He's extremely knowledgeable, always available, very patient, and he managed to get me to closing earlier than expected. He made the entire mortgage experience easy and stress-free. Jeri Mularski, Kamel Merabet, and everyone I interacted with on the Contempo staff were extremely professional and lovely to deal with. Highly recommended! read more

I love working with John Evans at Contempo Lending. He has been doing my mortgages for years for myself and friends. I high recommend Contempo Lending and staff is very professional and efficient. read more

Barbara Nagy is the most patient, professional loan officer I have ever worked with. She handled a reverse mortgage for my mom where there were incessant delays due to outside circumstances, enough where the average loan specialists would have walked away. She kept pushing for things to get done, always keeping us informed and bent over backwards to make things happen. I can't begin to say enough good things about her and her company! Paul G read more

I have used Contempt Lending for two different loan applications. One was extremely complex and difficult and was frankly given an initial chance of success that was near zero. It was not a large dollar transaction but considering the efforts of John and Cary, mostly beyond what you should expect, they treated this transaction as if it was a multimillion dollar loan. Their commitment to "we are going to make this work" was unbelievable and the outcome was success. The second transaction also presented challenges, the least of which was my constantly changing from one loan to one loan and refi and back to one loan. Again, the professionalism and dedication to getting a positive outcome was off the charts. I really can't say enough about this company. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who needs a mortgage or refi whether its a straight forward or complex. Thank you Contempo Lending and John and Cary! P.S. If you need financing, do yourself a favor and go to Contempo Lending first before going to a bank. read more

Had lots of problems with this company. Poor customer service. Almost lost our loan. Just wasn't happy with this company.

When nobody else seemed to be able to help me or did not want to take the time, John and his team of experts really shined thru and got me the loan i need. They know their stuff. Thanks so much i will be back. read more

John and his folks at Contempo Lending did an amazing job with my refinance and were able to lower my monthly payment by nearly $300! When everyone else was telling me "NO", John was able to say "YES"! THANKS so much. read more

I just refinanced my mortgage with Contempo. They were honest, straightforward, efficient and professional. I highly recommend them for your borrowing needs. read more

Contempo Lending worked with me every step of the way. Twice they called to tell me that they had found a better rate. They put together a thorough loan package on time and both Fred and Cary were always available to answer our many questions. Highly recommended! read more

Contempo lending takes time with their clients and that's something quite rare these days. John and his staff are highly efficient and anytime I know someone who needs a loan, I send them here. read more

Cary is a god-send. We were referred to him and another lender by our realtor. I called the other lender first because they were located in the high desert where we bought, but I immediately felt like a number. I then emailed Cary at Contempo and felt like I met my new best friend. He was so kind, so thoughtful, considerate and knowledgeable about every aspect of the mortgage process. I knew immediately that he was our guy. We are first time home buyers, so we were pretty ignorant to the process. Cary has the patience of a saint and the heart of a teacher. He answered every question clearly and promptly, even on the weekends! I tell Cary he's a wizard because he makes magic happen. He clearly loves his work and puts his heart and soul into it. We closed on May 5th, and as ecstatic as I was, I was also a little sad that I wouldn't be talking to Cary everyday! :) He makes dreams come true! We can't thank him enough! read more

I am soooo pleased!!! I wish I could give Contempo 10 stars because they deserve it. Am self employed and have tried to refinance elsewhere, had to do all kinds of paperwork and I still wasn't approved. John, Cary and Diane are friendly, knowledgeable and super easy to work with. Even when I freaked out when my condo was appraised for way less than we were hoping for, they still made it work. The HARP refi doc's were signed this past Saturday. Thank you Contempo! read more

Wade is the absolute BEST!! I can't recommend him and Contempo Lending enough. We were able to close on our new home quickly and smoothly with a great rate, thanks to Wade. He kept us informed, but didn't overwhelm us plus he was fun to work with! We had shopped around before choosing Contempo, and I am fully confident that we made the best decision with Contempo. Our realtor enjoyed working with him so much, he plans to do so in the future too. Highly recommend! read more

Michael at Contempo Lending is a rock star! He is knowledgeable about lending options in the Coachella Valley--especially loans on Indian lease land and jumbo loans. And, "difficult" lending situations. We had been through every major bank--and at least a dozen brokers--before we found Michael. All of the other lenders bailed pretty quickly when they realized our loan would be difficult. But, Michael was undeterred and persevered for more than a year to find a solution for our refinance. His assistant Amanda is a pleasure to work with, too! You will not be disappointed if you call Michael for some home lending help. read more
