When you think of 5-star service it conjures up the finest hotels around the world and the experience you had. Though I have known John for awhile, I have only recently begun to use him as my preferred loan officer and he provides the "5-star" service" you need and deserve in this business. As a long term real estate agent in the Central Valley, I have very specific requirements for what I expect from my service providers. I expect:
1) Excellent and timely communication-John and his team excel in this area providing proactive and milestone communication throughout the process of the loan from the time of the initial interview of the buyer up until close of escrow. Not only does he does this for me as the selling agent, he also communicates the same level with the listing agent. And as you know, knowing what is going on, goes a long way towards having a stress-free real estate transaction.
2) Response time-Did you ever call a service provider and their voicemail says "I will return your call within 24-48 hours?" Holy smoke, a lot happens in that length of time. If I send an e-mail or leave a VM message, I expect rapid response. Yes, sometimes people are in an appointment and can't give a direct response at that moment, but it is not unusual at all to get a response from John in 3-5 minutes. If he is in a meeting, he will have his staff follow up. He truly understands the need for quick response.
3) Accountability and Responsibility-though I have yet to experience a hiccup in any transaction with John, he has committed to take responsibility and the way he works and his transparency provide strong evidence that there will never be an issue here.
John is a systems guy, extremely organized and prepared. In my initial meeting with him, which lasted about 45 minutes to an hour he took notes and in my 2nd meeting with him, he had a full presentation for me customized specifically for me. He listens and he cares and he is committed to my success and that shows.
I could go on and provide more detail about John and his team, Kandy Gaines (who has an abundance of escrow experience, which provides huge value on the loan side), and Debbie Aynaga, a processor with tons of experience. John was very deliberate in putting this team together and they work cohesively, and provide an outstanding experience.
If you are searching for a Loan Officer, whether you are a buyer looking to purchase a home, or a real estate agent looking to form a solid business relationship, I, without reservation, strongly endorse and recommend John King and his team! read more
