    We recently had the pleasure of closing a transaction with Julie and the Aragon Lending Team, and…read moreit was a great experience from start to finish! Julie was professional, responsive, and on top of everything throughout the entire transaction. Communication between lending and escrow was excellent, and whenever we needed an update or had a question, she was quick to respond and kept everything moving forward. As an Escrow Officer, I truly appreciate working with a lender who understands the importance of communication, timing, and teamwork. Having a lending partner who stays engaged and works closely with escrow makes such a difference in getting everyone to a smooth and successful closing. Julie and the Aragon Lending Team were wonderful to work with, and I would absolutely recommend them. I look forward to working together again on many more transactions! Thank you, Julie, for being such a great lending partner!

    Julie and her team kick a$$! Mike helped us with a HELOC and I'm glad to say from the moment we…read moreconnected it was a wrap. Not only was the process made easy to understand, it was completed from the comfort of our home and our schedule.The team is flexible, quick, knowledgeable and most importantly explained it in a way that made sense to us. Our HELOC closed in a little over a week. Mike was in communication with us which felt like 24/7. If anyone is looking for a reputable lending team look no further.

    I flip/develop real estate and this was by far the worst lender I've dealt with. When I left my…read morefirst review they told me to take it down or they wouldn't fund. I fear extortion from this review as well. Original Review: I bought land to build on and started a refi for a construction loan with Civic. After 7 weeks and they still had no idea what's going on. The virtual assistant processing the loan is a gopher between me and underwriting. They don't have a settlement statement to review and they don't know when closing is. I am burning time and money at the stake now waiting on them. I regret choosing to go with them, but I will update this review with whatever happens. Update after closing loan finally: Fees were 2% of the loan. Junk fees to a legal team that I can't negotiate. In fact the communication was so awful you eventually just have to give up and hope they give something close to the original offer. But it won't be. There were twice as much fees as their offer. The loan was much smaller, they said they could loan 70% of land with permits, but they could only do 50%. They don't lend on any soft costs. In fact throughout the build, they never fully funded a single draw whether it was in budget or not. EVEN after I finished the build (with my own cash) and had CO, they still wouldn't fully draw the loan. That's playing dirty. I spent thousands in draw "inspection" fees to not even get a full draw, and I did the "self inspections" where we don't have to hire a 3rd party. There was this sort of trick they do where the paperwork says your loan is X, but bc of the way the math work with the land value etc, you only ever get maybe 85% of X. Communication is impossible as everyone you talk to is miles from a decision maker and might as well be an AI bot. Doesn't matter what the sales team said at any point to sell you on the loan, you won't get that. We could never get a closing date out of them, but when we finally did, the morning of they had not sent the loan package to the title company yet still (even though we set the closing date 5 days prior). The craziest part is I went in and signed and closed on a thursday, and the lender didn't actually send the wire until the following monday. They were trying to sneak in a reappraisal without anyone noticing. My title company said they've never had that happen - 4 days after closing they send a wire! Of course they'll bill me for interest even though I didn't have the money. During the process they checked my credit score/report 3 times which is a negative affect on my score. Update after paying off loan: I survived but only bc I raised 5x more down payment than they said I would need to fill the gaps from them not funding. Plus, the fees were outrageous, and no one at the company knows what's going on. I can honestly say that if you need to get a loan from civic, you are better off NOT doing the deal. I promise. Find another lender.

    high interest of 8 percent to 720 plus credit and they didn't disclose to me on a clause making…read moreme pay on loan for two properties that my first paid off property has to pay 120 percent of the principal . that makes me needing to come up with an additional very big amount of money out my pocket just to sell the property. Eli has a good demeanor but overall he is not honest enough lender. I shouldn't know about this fact two years after I'm getting this loan

    I worked with Tim early last year (2011). It was the first home for my wife and myself. I had…read morepurchased a condo a long time ago, so I needed to be educated again on all the processes (and changes) involved in a real estate transaction. Time walked us through the whole process, was available at almost any hour for any questions we had, and kept us up do date with every piece of information we needed to move through the process. He kept our agent on track and responded to every speed bump or twist and turn in the transaction with exceptional effort and professionalism. In the year since we closed on our home, I have reffered my younger brother Andrew (which Tim helped him close on his first home), a high school pal, and my good friend Matt. My Brother has since referreed two additional people to Tim to help them get into their first homes. Within the next year my wife and I will be looking to purchase another home and will not hesitate to give Tim a call. He is one person I don't have any reservations about referring to my friends and I am happy to call him a good friend as well.

    I purchased my first home at the end of 2014, and Tim Ashe was my loan officer. I could not have…read moremade it through escrow without his help and guidance. He and my real estate agent were like co-pilots who safely flew me through the storm with minimal turbulence. Tim was able to help when the loan had to be changed from conventional to FHA, and he always kept me apprised of any news that came his way. He worked with my finances to get me the biggest loan possible at a great interest rate, and he was willing to meet with me to answer any questions I had. I always knew what documents were expected of me -- bank statements, pay stubs, copies of checks -- and when they were due. Had Tim not been there every step of the way, I don't think I would have survived 45 days of escrow.

They know the mortgage loan business, and they know how to provide 5 star service. I work on multi billion dollar construction projects, so I'm suspicious of everyone, but Craig and his team earned my trust and confidence in a very short period of time. When I finally called Craig, I was just over 3 weeks into the loan process with the same bank that manages all of my investments, as well as my banking. I even have a mortgage with them on another proerty!! Given all of that, I would have thought that the Mortgage Broker assigned to me would give me great service, and would deliver on assurances I had recieved that they could close within the 6 week schedule we laid out. In fact, I never even got an email, call or sms from the Mortgage Broker himself until I told my Investment Advisor that I was pulling the application. Even though I sent several emails to him directly, I only ever heard from his Loan Processor or my Investment Advisor. Craig and his team at CB Loans were exactly the opposite. They gave me multiple avenues for getting my documents to them securely and quickly. They worked around my hours and and when I could talk. They told me exacatly what documents they needed to get my loan approved, and didn't waste my time with things they didn't need. They made sure they understood my wishes as well as my concerns. And Craig took the time to make sure I was comfortable with my understanding of the details of the process (I moved here from out of state, and it's quite different here). He also got me comfortable with how we would get to the best rate, and worked with me closely on exactly when we ought to lock in the rate so that we got what I think was the best possible rate we could have gotten at the time. I highly recommend CB Loans... whether you start with them, or go to them once you realize "the other guys" aren't going to delvier what they promised, Craig and his team will deliver.

    I can not say enough awesomeness about Mark Wakefield and Stratis Financial! We first met Mark in…read more2012 when he helped us purchase our West Torrance home. At that time, he went above and beyond to close, including coming in to paint the window facings to appease the FHA inspectors! Less than 2 years later, he contacted us to let us know that because of the market, we could refinance so we could drop the PMI insurance, giving us a lower payment. Finally, we reached out to Mark again in 2021 to help us refinance again for a home expansion to accommodate my younger brother moving in with us. We refinanced at the same payment as we had before, and we're able to expand our house from a 3 bed 1 bath 1200 square foot house to a 4 bed 2 bath 1600 square foot house...at a rate we could afford! I definitely recommend Mark Wakefield and Stratis Financial to everyone!

    For my home loan I worked with Mark Wakefield who was an absolute pleasure. He was incredibly…read moreresponsive, informative, and always there if I needed anything. At the end of the day I went with a different lender who was able to offer a slightly lower rate, but it came at the cost of customer service and any semblance of guidance or a personal touch. Even after letting him know I went with someone else, he was very kind and congratulated me. I was in a unique situation because 1) I had been through the qualification process already recently, so I had all of my documents ready to go and knew exactly what would happen and what I wanted, 2) I'm at a computer all day long, and 3) my father is a real estate broker. Trust me, if you don't have a great map to follow, you will need a good guide, and Mark's your guy. I've been bombarded with forms over email for days now and I can't imagine how anybody who's any less prepared could survive this. All else being the same, I would've gone with Mark in a heartbeat, but like I said I was in a very unique position. If you don't have AT LEAST #'s 1 and 2 above in common with me, consider him for your lending needs or at least give him a call. You'll be doing yourself a favor. Yelp on.
