5 Stars is not enough when it comes to Don and Paula! My Husband and I had been trying to get in the process to buy a home for years but, kept getting turned away. I got in contact with Don in way that it was pure fate on a sunny June day. I was just trying to get the correct steps to be able to buy a home. Don from the very first phone call was Kind, Patient, and so Informative. He gave us a step by step plan. And after years of trying in December we were ready to view homes. And today February 2026 we are Homeowners! We could not be any more grateful for the amazing team at H.O.M.E Lending. They are a top tier organization that really care for their clients. A lot of companies say their clients come first but, H.O.M.E Lending, Don and Paula really mean it. If your looking to by a home CALL DON! You will not regret it! read more

Don and Paula at H.O.M.E. Lending are a rock solid team! Home Ownership Made Easy (H.O.M.E.) is a valid name for this company. Don took the time to answer all my questions months prior to an actual contract so I knew what to look for and expect. He and/or Paula were available to us every step of the way. AND a quick closing (14 days) made our offer to the buyer the one accepted. THANK YOU! read more

Don Burns and Paula at H.O.M.E Lending assisted me with the purchase of my first home. They went above and beyond to make me feel like a valued customer. Don took time to explain the entire process, give me advice and share his knowledge, making the process of buying my first home less stressful. Don and Paul work great as a team. They were both very prompt, attentive, and kind. read more

My experience with Don Burns was really bad, after initially being very helpful Don stated our application was going to be too much work Don stated he was going to review our application and get back to us. After a few weeks of waiting with no call back I decided to call the office and I heard Don in the background say " tell them I'm not here!" Very unprofessional one for not getting back to us and for lying We did move our business to another local lender and purchased not one but two homes for our family. I hope your experience is better than ours read more

Don Burns at H.O.M.E. Lending, and his assistant Paula are an absolute dream team to work with. They were prompt and didn't delay the process in any way. They answered all of my many questions and have been there after the process was over to still answer questions. This entire process took 17 days !! I look forward to working with them again. read more

Don and Team are simply the best in this game. The level of experience and professionalism is A++, you will not find any other company that is humanistic and a true believer in quality engagement. This process can be grueling and painstaking, but with their transparency and "leave it to us" mentality it reassures clients confidence and eases psychological beating. Don is responsive and will guide you through every step of the way. You do not feel like a number, you actually feel your importance during the process. HOME Lending is highly recommended. You will not be disappointed. I will be recommending my friends and family here moving forward. read more

Don Burns was the agent for the sellers of a home we purchased a few months ago, and while I have nothing negative to say about him as person, as an agent, I think he has absolutely no backbone and I honestly don't know how he sleeps at night. There is NO way on EARTH our agent would have backed my husband and I on one tenth of the antics Don's clients pulled, and I blame Don, because he represented/stood by all the insane demands and tantrums his clients had. I mean he even signed his name (and reputation) to the outlandish emails his clients wrote to our agent. I understand Don didn't have the power to force his clients to do the right thing, but I can tell you, if I tried to pull those same stunts with our buyer, that Don's clients pulled on us, our agent 100% would have walked, because when it all comes down to it, it's the agent's name and reputation on the line. The agents are our representatives, and I'm shocked that Don rolled over like he did. Thanks to Don and his insanely demanding clients, my husband and I couldn't even leave our very first house together, as a family, we also didn't get to walk into our new home as a family either. His clients did whatever they wanted and while I'm certain Don didn't agree with them, he sure didn't do much to stop their behaviors either, and that is on him. It's his name and reputation, and when it comes down to it, his lack of a backbone made what should have been a very happy time, a total mess for our family. I respect someone who stands up for what is right, no matter the cost. I was always taught what's right is right and what's wrong is wrong. Most of the time, the hardest thing and the RIGHT thing are the same. I'd rather do the right thing, ESPECIALLY if it's my name and reputation on the line. For my good name, there is NO sale/commission big enough that makes tarnishing my name worth it. read more

Don Burns at Home Lending ..Experience. Don helped sell my first home about 7 years ago.. Now he has helped my fiancé and I buy are new home together. My fiancé and I cant say enough of the service and experience Don shared with us, so we could make this purchase. He knew this was our future home before we did. He shared his construction knowledge with us, which tipped the scale for us to make a bid. Thank you Don! You were right, it was a quick fix. I want to also thank Paula and his staff whom helped us close in record time. Don is part of the family, he has helped my family buy 3 homes and sell 1.. Thank you Don, I appreciate your dedication and experience as you guided my fiancé, a first time buyer through the process. Thank you! read more

Don was AMAZING! Never thought we would own a home in California! He helped us with our credit and got us in our own home. No more rent!!!!!!!! read more

The worst experience ever! Don talks a lot of talk and makes it seem like he's the best but he's not, don't let him fool you. I want to save anyone this headache that feels like a nightmare because he made me lose my money and didn't even have the decency to notify me that my loan wasn't approved and that I lost my deposit. When I finally contacted him because I found out the news through my realtor, he was very careless.. what kind of person is that!? He blamed everything on his staff and even tried putting responsibility on me and my realtor, that was his job and he took no responsibility! Im so upset that I trusted him.. read more

Don Burn failed me my family, we requested a loan to purchase a home and in the process I lost a lot of money. We found a home that we liked and were pursuing a loan from Don, in which I texted him and my agent also communicated to him that we were ready for the loan process. The seller had communicated to us that he wanted to sell and closed in three weeks so we communicated that to Don. He said no problem I can get it done in that period. So more than a week want by and heard nothing from Don so I texted him several times, than I called him and left him a message cuz he would not answer, he finally called me and I explain that I needed that loan as soon as possible and he responded, "what property are you talking about" and I told property X he said "oh will give me the address and we will get it done in the time requested " So from there on in had kept telling different dates as to when it would close escrow, until it was more than a month and the seller was very upset and what to cancel the deal cuz it was taking too long. In the meantime I was supposed to be out of the home I was renting on the time he promise I would get the loan. After the due date that I was supposed to be in my new home I had to start paying $70 a day until we closed which I ended up paying more that $800. Plus the seller was having doubt about my loan so he requested I fund my down payment early to please the seller in which Don said I will overestimate your down payment so you only pay once. Cuz I had to wire the money in which the bank charged $35 fee each time I wired the money. So, he underestimated the amount and I had to paid extra in which they charged me an extra $35 to wire what was needed to fund the loan. Finally, escrow called and set it up for early Friday so I could closed as soon as possible will everybody done their part except for Don again, escrow called and said everything is ready but Don has not funded the loan. Will he fail to fund on time again so they said, you will have to wait till Monday cuz the fund came in late. So that's Don Burns late returning my calls and text always with an excuse that he at a meeting. Too busy to complete your loan on time making promises that he failed miserably to complete on time. He promised to close in three weeks but took more than five weeks. read more

Home ownership made easy couldn't be closer to the truth!! From the minute Don answers my call, to assisting me in buying my first house, he was the most honest, kind, fun, & knowledgeable owner, broker, realtor extraordinaire. I'm a single mom and buying my first house & could have been easily taken advantage of but from our first conversation I felt safe which was very important since I moved to a city I'd never even been to. He made the process so easy for me, I still can't believe how lucky I got to find such an honest and warm hearted guy to guide and protect me thru the entire process. You cannot go wrong with choosing Home lending!! Don and his entire team will be a choice you will not regret!! read more

I usually don't write reviews, but I had to show my appreciation for Don and his team for everything they did for us. I highly recommend Don if you are looking into selling a home or buying a home. He is very professional and always keeps you informed on progress. He's very honest and very knowledgeable. Thank you Don for all your help! read more

Don and his team are an incredible group of people to work with! Few things are more stressful than buying your first home, and Don and Paula were so incredibly patient, kind, and knowledgeable in answering all of our questions throughout the process. Don made a long, 3 hour drive on a weekend to show us the houses we were interested in, and did his best to work with our demanding work schedules. He will not stop until he gets you in a home you truly love, and is honest about the timelines and communicates very promptly all the way through the process. Choose Home Ownership Made Easy, you will not regret it! read more

We chose Don to assist us on our journey to find the perfect home for our little family because he was quick, responsive, honest and experienced . Don goes above and beyond to put his clients first. He was always available when we needed him. In a little over a month we were able to find a house and close it. The experience we valued most was that he was very honest and put our interest before his own. I feel a lot of real estate agents is all about the sale, but with Don it was different. Before the purchase of any property is finalized, Don does a thorough investigation as a disclosure for what to expect. This made the process less intimidating. I believe anyone can sell a house, but finding someone caring and knowledgeable as Don will be rare. read more

Don and his staff at H.O.M.E. Lending went far above and beyond to assist me with a (by no fault of theirs) complicated sale of my home and purchase of a new home. Had it not been for Don and his staff, I would not be sitting happily in the home of my dreams right now. Don was a wealth of knowledge and a huge support throughout the entire transaction. His staff was professional, pleasant and amazing to work with. I will, without reservation, be recommending H.O.M.E Lending to my friends and family. I am very grateful that I found H.O.M.E. Lending. read more
