In this business, execution and timing are everything--Esther and Paul delivered on both at a very high level. From initial structuring through funding, the process was handled with precision. Communication was clear and efficient, expectations were managed properly, and any complexities were addressed proactively without slowing down the timeline. That level of control over a transaction is not easy to find. What stood out most was the ability to navigate the deal strategically while keeping everything moving forward. For anyone operating in real estate investment or development, having a lending partner you can rely on is critical. Esther and Paul has proven to be exactly that. Looking forward to doing more deals together.

Essentially we worked with Team Esther 3 times, because after failing to buy a home and taking a break, each time the financials would have to be reprocessed given our life changes.

Would highly recommend.

The system he has set up with his team is seamless. Everyone was responsive and easy to communicate with. Their online system is really easy to use. I have recommended him to both friends and family.

We had been working with a previous lender who was flaky and unreliable so when we found a house we…read morewanted to offer on our realtor gave us the name of 3 lenders, Irene being one of them. In a matter of days she was able to get us everything we needed to offer on the new house, and while we didn't make it, she was right there with us for our next offer. Speaking of that next offer--it turned into being in contract and now being home owners! Irene and our agent, Kristin Romig, worked together to put together a competitive, strategic offer. We didn't have the most money, but we did have a great offer that eventually led to us getting into contract. In just about 20 days with my bank account being compromised a few days before our close date, and Shelter in Place ordered the same week, she made it happen. Irene is extremely honest, transparent, and pro-active; she is on your side. I think if she can manage this in the middle of a Pandemic, then we're sold. If we ever decide to enter the Bay Area housing market game again, we will definitely work with Irene.

I would recommend Grant to anyone in the area looking for a home loan.

We recently had the opportunity to refinance and without hesitation, Stephen reached out directly to us as soon as he noticed rates were coming down.

I'm very grateful for Stephen and his team and will definitely be referring him to our friends and family.

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.
