As first-time home buyers,…read morethere are too many unknowns, and from the very first call, Jenna took the time to understand our needs, provided great solutions, and answered all (of our many) questions. I can't emphasize enough how great Jenna is- so responsive, knowledgeable, honest, great at problem solving, and all-around cheerful during every interaction. She was so proactive about setting up showings, following up, and providing updates after we made an offer. Her level of communication made it so easy to know exactly what was going on. She made excellent suggestions in the contract phase and helped negotiate a strong deal. After putting in an offer, Becca was an all-star closing manager, she was super patient and thorough, responsive, and ensured that we were up to speed every step of the way. She helped keep us, our lender, and title company on track to close in 3 weeks! All around huge effort from the Yost Quesada team. They are one of the strongest and best teams we have ever worked with. I will be (and already have) recommending them to all of my friends interested in buying property. I didn't know what to expect when buying a house, and the team did a great job of making it as seamless as possible. Thank you so much!

She made sure we were confident in the place we wanted to buy and she made sure she dug up EVERYTHING, pointing out anything good and bad about any place that we saw.

Thanks to her, we were able to get our first home even though we weren't the highest offer, but she made it the most attractive one. Morgan set us up with the full package, she got us connected to our lender and shared her network of inspectors and contractors with us to support us through the entire process, start to finish.

My husband and I recently bought our first home, and we truly couldn't have done it without the…read moreincredible team at the Greenhouse Group. Our realtor, Craig, was amazing from start to finish. He helped us search for the right place and offered thoughtful, honest advice throughout the entire process. One thing we really appreciated was that we never once felt pressured to make a quick decision. Craig genuinely wanted us to find a home that we loved and that he himself would feel comfortable living in. He was also extremely diligent during the home inspection process, which gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind. Craig went above and beyond in ways we never expected. He even took the time to make a YouTube video for my husband to show him how to handle a few DIY things around the house. On top of that, he had several hour-plus phone calls with my husband just to walk through the escrow process in detail and make sure we truly understood everything that was happening. That level of patience and dedication meant a lot to us. At one point Craig had even injured his foot, and despite that he still showed up to help us view homes. That kind of commitment really says a lot about the kind of person he is. We also want to give a huge shoutout to Jeremy, our mortgage officer. Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you can make, and Jeremy did an incredible job walking us through everything step by step. Our loan situation was a bit complicated in the beginning, but Jeremy gave us solid advice and helped us get to where we needed to be in less than a year. He always made sure we understood the financial side of things and felt comfortable with the decisions we were making. Jeremy also showed us that having a strong relationship with lenders and simply being a genuinely good, personable person who's easy to talk to can make a huge difference in getting a loan approved. On top of all his professional accolades and knowledge, he's someone who is approachable and easy to communicate with, which is honestly a rare quality and something that made this whole process so much smoother for us. What really stood out to us about this team is that they're not just a realtor group. They're a group of people who ended up becoming our friends throughout this journey. They made it clear that if we ever have questions down the road, they'll always be available to help, no matter how long it's been since we bought our home. That kind of long-term support means a lot. Overall, the entire team was incredibly helpful, communicative, and trustworthy. We always felt like they were truly in our corner. The constant communication between everyone meant we never went a day wondering where we were in the process. Even though we know they work with many clients, they made us feel like we were their only ones. We're so grateful for their support and guidance during such an important milestone in our lives. And when the time comes for us to buy or sell again in the future, there's no question -- this is the team we'll be working with.

I spoke to several brokers before being introduced to Sheri, and none of them were up to speed on the recent changes to the VA loan that went into affect in January of 2020. When I spoke with Sheri, she knew all of the ins and outs and was able to answer every, and I mean every, question I had. Whether it was about multi-family loans, construction loans, seller credits, you name it, she was well versed in all of it. She was patient with me on our initial call, and she put me at ease that I had found the right broker to represent my wife and I in our first home purchase. However, it didn't end there. Sheri's team is also top-notch. They are extremely responsive, friendly, and professional. Bonita Bischoff, along with Sheri, helped us through every step of the process. Bonita called our buying agent to answer any and all questions regarding the VA loan process and also pro-actively reached out the the selling agents to educate them on the VA loan, which dramatically increased our chances of winning in a very competitive market - we've been competing against all cash offers in an area where VA loans are rarely used. To put it simply, you can't go wrong with Sheri. She will get you the best rate possible, provide top notch service, and make the agonizing process of buying a home in Southern California as fun as humanly possible. I can't thank Sheri, Bonita, and the team enough for their attention to detail and willingness to go above and beyond!

On top of that John provided encouragement the entire way.

We went to our original lender and tried to get it done through them, since they appeared to have the best rates. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the closing costs and volume of applicants were rather high so we turned to Bay Shore Mortgage. I was skeptical about it because I didn't research the process or look into mortgage brokers, but I trusted the process and was excited to have everything taken care of by John. We never met face to face but all my questions were answered in a very timely manner and in a way that I understood what my options were. We supplied John with our information and documentation as needed (the real determining factor in how quickly things can get done), and in the next week we found out what our possible new rate was. John helped us get off of our ARM to a 30 Year Fixed with a lower rate than our introductory ARM rate, and that's everything we were looking for! Even better, the closing costs were rolled into the loan so that we didn't have to take out a large sum of money during these difficult times. Obviously, I highly recommend Bay Shore Mortgage.

Throughout my entire home buying process Drew was generous with his time and expertise, literally every step of the way. His bio mentions that his approach is rooted in education, and that really came through in my experience. He took the time to make sure I understood what was happening and why, which made the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. His advice was thoughtful and tailored to my situation, never generic or salesy. He knew I already had a lender but he was still willing to give him time and advice with no strings attached. He also connected me with a homeowners insurance agent who ended up getting me a much better policy than what I was originally planning to sign up for. That referral alone made a huge difference. Drew is the kind of person you want in your corner when you're navigating the home buying process. Knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in helping people. I truly can't recommend him highly enough.

If you're looking for a lender you can trust, especially if it's your first time buying, I definitely recommend Drew and the Transparent Mortgage team. They were great to work with.
