Review for Sierra Capital Mortgage - Linda Wilcox…read more We recently worked with Linda Wilcox at Sierra Capital Mortgage and I can't say enough great things about her. From the very beginning of our home search, Linda was incredibly kind, empathetic, and genuinely invested in our success. Throughout a very competitive buying environment, she was consistently responsive, patient, and creative in exploring every possible solution. I truly believe that we were able to secure our townhome in Sierra Madre because of her willingness to think outside the box and advocate for us proactively. Linda not only guided us through each step with clarity and care, but she also truly understood the emotional and financial weight of the decisions we were making. Her combination of professional expertise and human kindness made all the difference. I would highly recommend Linda and Sierra Capital Mortgage to anyone looking for a partner in the home buying process. She helped make what could have been an overwhelming experience feel hopeful and achievable--and we're so grateful.

Grateful to my mom for turning us on to Linda aka Loanda 20 years ago when my wife & I were buying…read moreour first home. As an escrow officer locally for over 40 years, of every mortgage broker my mom ever worked with (& she worked with a ton!) she was most impressed by Loanda. Having had the pleasure of working with Loanda & Roland aka Rolend on multiple transactions, my wife & I personally attest to their knowledge, insight, care, value & expertise. It's no surprise Sierra Capital has been voted Best/Reader Recommended Mortgage Broker by Pasadena Weekly for the last 11 years straight, 2013-2024. Wishing you continued success, Loanda & Rolend!

Julie Aragon and her team are simply exceptional. I've had the opportunity to work with Julie on…read moremultiple transactions, and every single time I walk away impressed, not just by the results, but by how she gets there. Her professionalism is top-tier, but what really sets her apart is the way she builds relationships. Julie brings a rare mix of creativity, energy, and genuine care to her clients. People don't just feel "handled"...they feel understood, supported, and confidently guided through what can be a very complex process. She's honest, communicative, and relentlessly hardworking. You always know where things stand, and you always feel like you have a true advocate in your corner. If you're a first-time buyer, especially, Julie is a no-brainer. She has the ability to simplify the process, remove the stress, and actually make it an enjoyable experience.

Julie and her team are hands down the best. From the very beginning, they were incredibly…read moreresponsive, easy to approach, and made us feel completely comfortable discussing our budget and finances. There were many times we felt like we were asking "silly" questions because of all the mortgage jargon, but her team always took the time to explain everything clearly and made the process feel simple. Beyond their great communication, Julie guided us through a fast 21-day escrow that successfully closed--something we truly appreciated. This team doesn't mess around; they genuinely work in your best interest and go above and beyond to get the best outcome. Even after closing on our home, Julie continues to be just as responsive and helpful, answering our questions and proactively guiding us as we start thinking about refinancing. The Aragon Lending Team is always three steps ahead. It was such a pleasure working with this team during one of the biggest milestones of our lives. Thank you all so much!

We are first time homebuyers, and we couldn't have done it without Eddie…read more Eddie has worked with us for almost a year. He has taken the time to explain each detail of our loan, our options, and what he would do if he were in our position. He never pushed for a bigger loan. He gave us great advice on options like points, refinancing, interest rates, and timing. Eddie and his team were always available to advise us or to move on an opportunity. Mornings, nights, weekends... I believe in work life balance, but I really appreciated Eddie's work ethic. He and his team's attention to detail were invaluable. (His processor Eva Ortiz caught more than one typo from OUR lawyer!) He also helped us get insurance for a 31 year old roof when no one would insure us. This was crucial and time sensitive so that we could secure our loan and close (and reroof!). No matter what comes up, what is needed, Eddie and his team will go above and beyond to get you the support you need when you need it. This makes the difference. Eddie worked fantastically with our realtor, Vanessa Yan. They were always on the same page. They were usually a step or two ahead of us! Eddie saved us a ton of time. He gave us the information we needed, when we needed it. He was clear about deadlines and possible challenges. He helped us put together all the information that would help us get the most competitive rate possible. Eddie has strong relationships with the banks he works with. This is important when you're trying to lock and keep your rate long enough to close on a house before rate increase... Trust counts for everything when you're putting all you have on the line to buy a house. Eddie will walk you through it, one step at a time. He'll bring clarity and empathy to this harrowing process.

If you want someone who is aggressive, pushy, and completely uninterested in your financial…read morewell-being, Arin is your guy. He pulled me in with misleading rate information, pushed hard to get me to lock the rate, then disappeared the moment I locked the rate. After the lock, he stopped answering calls, ignored emails, and was unreachable even on closing day. On top of that, be prepared for hidden fees and costs that were never clearly disclosed. He even asked me to sign documents while telling me to ignore incorrect information inside them. The whole process felt sloppy and careless, and it created unnecessary stress. This has been the worst mortgage experience I've had across multiple home purchases. His mortgage product options were extremely limited, the service was unprofessional, and the entire experience was a mess. I would strongly encourage anyone to avoid Arin and work with a larger, more reputable lender. I even cut ties with the person who recommended him because the service was that bad. The other one-star review on here make complete sense now. Avoid at all costs.

Very quick and responsive over email and phone, which was great in a competitive market and they were very helpful in our preapproval process, even when we weren't guaranteed to go with Uni First Investment and were still shopping around for quotes. If you need to close escrow fast, you can count on these guys to help get you there from a loan perspective. Shout out to our amazing loan officer Emerson for staying on top of everything to help us close our first house in around 3 weeks time, from securing a lower mortgage rate to dealing with the endless back and forth with lenders as we raced to the finish line on paperwork! Loan was successfully funded and we were able to close ahead of when we anticipated at the end of the day. I appreciate that they are truly here to help and did not feel haggled on at all. Please reach out to them for your mortgage needs!

He helped us get the best available rate and processed our loan in a record time. He was quick to respond to any inquiry. All the documents were signed electronically, which facilitated this process.

Once I spoke on the phone with him and his staff I felt at ease and felt they weren't trying to sell me anything. When I walked in his office I immediately felt welcomed by his staff I was impressed with the welcomed sign with my name in the waiting room. I was offered a soft drink while I waited to see Willy E. Didn't wait long and was greeted by Willy E who asked me many question to get to know me, He gave me several options and explained each one with details. I left the office very informed all my questions were answered. I highly recommend The Mortgage Guy Willy Escobar and his team for all your mortgage needs.

Highly recommend.
