I have done refinance loans over 40 years and Dan Klevenskiy…read more from Azure mtg corp is the best Loan officer I ever work with. He is honest, authentic professional, knowledgeable, and very patient. Dan guided me step-by-step and even gave me computer tutorials how to retrieve require documents. He always respond to my text right away and explain every questions I asked. Therefore the entire refi process went smooth and I was able to secure the great loan with low interest. Because I was so satisfied with the refi results, I chose to do a HELOC with him as well. Once again, he completed everything in less than a month and found the best option for me. I definitely recommend Dan to my family and friends because he made the entire process easy and smooth. Thank you Dan for your excellent service, I Look forward to work with you again.!

As a first-time homebuyer, I was nervous about the process and had so many questions--but Dan made…read moreeverything simple, clear, and stress-free. He always took the time to explain every step in plain English, never made me feel rushed, and made sure I felt confident in all of my decisions. Dan went above and beyond to guide me through the loan process, keeping me updated and on track the entire way. Thanks to him, my loan closed on time and without a single hiccup. If you're a first-time buyer (or even a seasoned one) looking for someone who is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about his clients, Dan is absolutely the person you want on your team. Highly recommend.

I hate writing bad reviews, but would not recommend working with Matt. It is very obvious that he…read moredoesn't care about his clients or his job. When you think of lenders you want someone who has attention to detail, responds to all your loan questions, and manages your timeline correctly. We really wish that was the case here, but it wasn't. He was very friendly at first, but quickly became unresponsive and rude when he and his team started to make errors. He helped lock in a good rate, but I would have rather gone with the highest rate possible if it meant I didn't have to go through what we did with Matt and Sunwest. Chase took over our loan shortly after thank goodness, so we don't have to see anything Sunwest ever again.

Quite possibly one of the most irresponsible and incompetant individuals I've dealt with…read more Matt essentially put our entire loan case on the backburner for the first several weeks of our escrow. Days before closing, we suddenly began getting daily requests for introductory documents-documents that should have been filed weeks ago. Matt was difficult to reach, disorganized, constantly blamed others, and continually missed agreed upon deadlines, forcing us to reschedule flights, and eventually made the egregious mistake of WIRING OUR LOAN TO WRONG TITLE COMPANY. This mistake caused us to be outside of our new house with an idling moving truck, having just arrived from another city hours away, only to scramble after an entire day of waiting to redirect the movers to dump all of our belongings into a storage unit leave, while we were forced to find a place to stay for the night. We were unable to close for several days because they decided they needed to wait for the title company to send the funds back before they could be re-directed correctly. So we're basically homeless with everything we own crammed in a storage unit. And what does Matt say? "You guys are on the emails. My hands are completely tied." And he tossed the ball into someone else's court with no apology. And we never heard from him again. Matt, you were an absolute nightmare, and I seriously hope you've either chosen a different career path or have committed yourself to significantly improving and learning from your unending tapestry of mistakes.

Alicia and her team were fabulous to work with. We found a new build in Roseville last summer…read more(2021). The community had a waiting list and we were unsure if we would even get the home. Back story - we had been looking for a home for over 7 years and this was the home that checked all of the boxes off of our list so we were really excited. We were told around November that we were next in line and put our deposit down on a lot. We just moved into our home two weeks ago (November 2022). During this time interest rates spiked at an all time high and Alicia continued to work with us by researching different programs and options so that we could stay within our budget. We ran into a snag with our CPA not completing our taxes which hindered us moving forward with the process. IAlicia was patient and helped work with our CPA directly to get things moving along. Working with her over the past year I got to know her more and just love her bubbly personality and constant support as this has been a roller coaster of a year. My husband was impressed by her speed of computing math. He is practically the rainman with numbers and Alicia outshined him a few times which has never happened. So she was our person and I highly recommend her!! We also attended one of her customer appreciation events at her property and got to see her beautiful horses. She really is committed to her clients. #TeamStearman

GRATEFUL FOR THIS TEAM! Alicia, Thanh, John and the rest of the team were very thorough. They never…read moregave up on us even other lenders said no repeatedly to us. They were very positive that they will be able to help us. They made us feel like they were on our side and that they will make sure to try the hardest that you will get approved. The whole team never gave up on us. They worked with us all the way and worked the hardest for us. They helped fix our credit. We truly appreciate everything they've done. They made our dreams come true when the dream was postponed, when the dream was cut off of getting the home that we wanted, they made it come true. I highly recommend Alicia and her team cross-country mortgage, from the bottom of our hearts, my family will forever be grateful for what they've done. They were advocating for us and we never felt like we were on our own. They have always had our backs and they were truly dedicated in helping us get a home. Highly recommend this lender!!!!

Mike Swaleh - Fairway Home Mortgage

I recently closed a refinance on an investment property in St. Louis, Missouri through Fairway, and…read moreI cannot say enough good things about the experience. From the very first conversation, Mike Swaleh and Gustavo España treated my file with the kind of attention and ownership you rarely see in this industry. As an out-of-state investor working on a DSCR loan, I expected the usual headaches -- endless document requests, slow underwriting, and last-minute surprises. Instead, I got the exact opposite: a clean, organized process where every step was explained in advance and every deadline was hit ahead of schedule. What truly set Mike and Gustavo apart was their communication. They were genuinely responsive -- answering emails late at night, taking calls on short notice, and proactively reaching out whenever something on my end needed attention. They understood the nuances of investment-property financing, structured the DSCR loan in a way that actually worked for my long-term strategy, and were never pushy or salesy. When small underwriting questions came up (as they always do), they handled them quietly behind the scenes instead of pushing the work back onto me. The transparency around rate locks, fees, and timing was refreshing -- no games, no fine print surprises at closing. The closing itself was one of the smoothest I've ever experienced. The numbers at the table matched the numbers I was quoted, the documents were ready on time, and the whole transaction wrapped up faster than I'd projected. If you're a real estate investor -- especially someone doing out-of-state deals or DSCR refinances -- I'd strongly recommend reaching out to Mike Swaleh and Gustavo España at Fairway. They've earned every future refi and purchase I have coming. Fairway as a company is clearly well-run, but it's the people that make the difference here, and these two are the real deal. Five stars is the maximum the platform allows; honestly they deserve more.

We just used Mike as the lender on our new home purchase and the experience was top notch. Mike and…read morehis team had clear and concise communication, were able to pivot when hurdles would arise (during the loan process they almost always do), and always had a Plan A and B when they called to navigate the hurdles. Even with multiple aspects to our loan - we did a purchase loan in conjunction with a bridge loan - we remained ahead of schedule of all of our loan related deadlines to the point we could've closed escrow over a week early. He also listened to what we wanted to do based on our financial situation and put together a plan that made sense or us. Mike runs a well oiled machine and his processes make purchasing a home go as smooth as possible. Even after closing on our house he has remind a resource for us and is still prompt in answering questions and providing us support.
