I couldn't have had a more amazing experience with our realtor - Diane Phillips. Diane is extremely knowledgeable and personable. She got to know me and my husband personally so she was able to truly understand what we were looking for not only in a new house but what was needed to make that house into a home. She asked thoughtful questions, listened intently, and genuinely cared about making this an amazing experience for us. I don't believe we would've found our dream home without her. I think she smiled bigger than us when we finally said...this is the one! I highly recommend Diane and share her name with anyone who's looking for a new home. read more

Houtan is a top notch professional. He helped me with my pre-approval and walked me through every step of the loan process. He was extremely responsive, personable, and knowledgeable. He is incredibly reliable and would answer calls or emails within minutes when I had questions. I can't recommend Houtan enough for buying a house. We had been working directly with a large bank on a loan, and all seemed fine until we had an accepted offer, then we started having issue after issue where there was just no sense of urgency. We almost had to walk away from our house, but Houtan and his team were referred to us in mid escrow, helped us explore multiple options in parallel, and close on time. Houtan was very responsive and on top of everything, presented our options very clearly, patient with all our questions, and really understands the Los Angeles housing market. read more

This review is long overdue. Houtan and Marisol are an amazing team. They sat down with me and answered the million questions I had as first time homebuyer. They made the process so simple and stress free. I don't even think they sleep at night. Everything was done in such a timely manner once we found the home we wanted and our offer was accepted. This was in 2020 and in 2021 we decided to refinance and the process was a breeze again. They really make you feel like family and I would 100% recommend them. read more

I can't say enough great things about this team and their leadership and dedication while assisting me with my Mortgage needs. What could have been the most difficult process turned into the absolute best experience. Their Professionalism, timely response, and knowledge of what would serve my needs best as clear from the start. The most impressive part is that they did not tell me what I wanted to hear, they were honest and transparent and answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns without taking advantage of my ignorance in real estate.

Finally a real professional with a heart! Working with Houton makes me feel like having a friend who is on my side, rather than a businessman who is always looking out for #1. He is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and responsive. He was always happy to explain and strategize with me whenever I needed help. Unlike most realtors and lenders out there who don't want to use their brains and only do easy and mindless paperwork, Houtan has great analytical and investment insights to share with his clients. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who values the rare combo of both thoughtfulness and top-notch expertise. read more

Houtan and team was able to provide a cash out refinancing loan, where Bank of America could not.

Best in the business. I was probably a pretty difficult customer as I dragged my feet. It was a complicated transaction. They got it DONE. Very knowledgeable and trustworthy. Would recommend them to anyone. read more

We did a lot of research before settling on Houtan - and he has been a great find. He has helped us with our home purchase, and several refinances since then. As we look into purchasing rental properties, he is always available to answer questions and explain things in terms that non-brokers can understand. He is, and will always be a part of our investment team. read more

Houtan has been an absolute dream. This is the first time for my husband and I purchasing a house. Houtan always made time to answer all the questions and go over things in depth.

I worked with Crestico last year when I purchased my first home. They are knowledgeable, responsive, and responsible. I was nervous since it was my first home but they held my hand through the entire process. I happily recommend them to friends and will use them again! read more

My husband and I worked with Houtan who helped us acquire a mortgage when buying our 1st home. We found his information on Yelp as he had close to 30 - 5 star reviews. We interviewed more than 4 other mortgage brokers, both online and office based. We were so impressed with his Customer service, Honesty, Dedication, and Professionalism that we decided to work w/him even if he didn't offer us the best rate. He did in fact offer us the Best rate in the end though. He Always had an Endless Desire to make sure we had all of our questions answered (and I had a lot) and understood the entire process from beginning to end. He was so patient with us. We were also impressed with his Incredible knowledge of the industry, whether it be loans, banks, rates, credit scores, approvals, etc. He gave us 5 star service the whole way through. The home we bought was a short sale and took nearly 6 months to close. He had all of our documents ready for our approval the moment we got it from the bank. He was there every single step of the way (even when it got really tough and we hit roadblocks) and we appreciate it Greatly. He was available to us over phone, e-mail and through his processor/assistant. He was so quick to respond to all of our needs, sometimes even after hours. We can't sing his praises any higher. You just don't get this kind of service these days. He really is the Best! We plan on using him for all of our future funding (both residential and commercial) needs and will continue referring others to him as well. read more

I recently purchased a my first home with the help of Crestico. They made the process easy and painless when many others could not help me due to the fact that I was not a salaried employee. Thank you Crestico! I wish I can leave more than 5 stars, but it won't let me. Can't wait to upgrade to a bigger and better home soon! read more

Our company has been dealing with Crestico for some years now. They are great to work with and i never hesitate to refer a friend or a client to them. They have helped me with my own real estate deals and they have a client for life in me! Jack M read more

Houtan Hormozian was one of the best lenders I have worked with. Being a Realtir and having a lender answer your calls especially when you need them during the weekend is very important. and answering your questions that your buyers are asking. He was always available and he closed the loan for my buyers in 30 days just as he promised. He over delivered in all levels. Will highly recommend. read more

We worked with Houtan Hormozian for our new home purchase financing and it was a very smooth process. Houtan was totally on top of everything and made sure we were too! We both have busy work schedules and appreciated that Houtan was thorough with his follow up and making sure all the paperwork was getting done in a timely manner. His communication and organization skills are outstanding. We never felt alone in the process. I can't think of one time he was not readily available to us for any of our questions. Highly recommend! read more

This is a first class team of extraordinary people. They truly cared to help us get our refinance. It took months of hard work and excellent communication. Houtan and Marisol are two of the hardest working and good people in the mortgage business. I would highly recommend CRESTICO and trust that them to not give up until you have your mortgage. read more

Houtan and Crestico Funding was my loan mortgage and I worked with him to refinance my home loan into a fixed mortgage, I am self-employed with very complex finances and multiple brokers and banks have had given me the run around, wasted my times months and ended up nowhere as they didn't have the expertise needed to find the solution, Houtan worked diligently for months guiding me through the process and he completed the refinance loan as pleasantly as possible. I have nothing to say but excellent things about him and the company for the wonderful service that they provided to me. Houtan is very knowledgeable, professional, courteous, hard-working, efficient, and communicates in a very clear and timely manner. Houtan and his team made the entire process very smooth and easy for me. Houtan and his company are just awesome to work with! read more

So happy to have worked with Houtan Hormozian and team to fund our new home loan. He gave us great advice and worked closely with our realtor and escrow company. read more

It was a true pleasure working with Houtan. He really knows his stuff and made the process so easy for me. I highly recommend Crestico!

My experience with Houtan and Crestico was second to none for my investment property. From start to finish they kept me informed and made the process smooth and easy. Thanks to their efficient use of technology the process was not as painful as my last experience and they were able to help me compare more than two dozen of the top lenders to get the best rate and terms. Highly recommend them! read more

Houtan was a pleasure to work with. He was incredibly responsive to all of my questions whether via phone or email. I was so surprised how quickly he was able to answer my questions when I had them. He was also very thorough in answering them - he not only answered the "what" but the "why" and "how" (which was very important for me as a teacher!). I was referred to Houtan by a fellow teacher, and I would make the same recommendation to others as well. read more

Yelp needs a 10 Star rating!!!! As a first time home buyer I had gotten a lot of information from different sources but luckily I was referred to Houtan over at Crestico Funding by a friend who was is a client and I have to say this was probably one the best referrals I've gotten in my entire life considering the fact that I was about to make the biggest investment of my life time yet. After my first phone call with Houtan I can easily say more than half of the confusion I had about the process because of the conflicting information I had received in the past was cleared up and I even had a pretty good understanding of what the process will be like and what to expect. He is truly knowledgeable and professional and the best part is he actually does take his time to provide the needed information at first so I could make an informed decision. Took me over a year to find the right property and many rejected offers but with Houtan's help I was able to get the right house with the right loan. Exceptional service is all I have to say! read more

I have been putting off refinancing for a while now because I knew it was going to be a difficult situation with the market the way it is. When I finally decided to go for it, I called H and we discussed several options. He was very professional and made a challenging situation as comfortable as possible. I am grateful for his relentless hard work and he even got me a half percent lower interest rate than we originally agreed on! I won't hesitate to recommend Crestico. Also, if the opportunity arises to upgrade, he's my first phone call. Thank you, Crestico! read more

Working with Houtan and his associates was one of the least stressful real estate experiences I have had in a long time. I'm a professional, understand and helpful Real Estate Firm exists to understand every client. I'm a real estate investor and buy and sell properties and hold properties. He was able to get me a quick no hassle hard money loan to purchase the property and refinanced it after I completely rehabbed it and put in a tenant. Again a pleasure working with someone who knows what they are doing that makes my job easier. read more
