My wife and I just closed on our first home, and got our mortgage through Neil and his team…read more We were beyond impressed with Community First Mortgage, and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a mortgage broker. Neil walked us through every step of the process and was incredibly responsive. As first-time homebuyers, there were lots of things we didn't understand and Neil took the time to explain things clearly. We felt confident we were getting the best rates, and had the best team working hard for us. For reference - it took us FOUR days to get our loan "cleared to close" from the day our offer was accepted. We had a 14-day escrow period, and our loan was ready to close well in advance. That was an incredible feat by the Community First Mortgage team, and took a ton of pressure off of us with such an aggressive escrow timeline. Lastly, Neil also recommended our real estate agent, who was another incredible addition to our team. The folks at Community First Mortgage have a five star rating for a reason, we could not have been happier with the service we received and look forward to working with them next time we are in need of mortgage brokerage services.

Luckily we were just without power for 21 days, Fort Polk opened back up three days later running on generators wife was able to go back to work. I would've gave them five stars except for three years in a row homes owners insurance has increased, the second year I pacifically told them I was sending in a payment. It was to go to escrow.

Their policy is to keep my escrow money as long as possible. I explained to them that I need them to pay my property taxes in December so I can claim the deduction this year but they refused to help. The wait to talk to them is very long, then they are rude, incompetent and are not listening any word that I'm saying. They keep repeating the same script. Calling them is just a waste of time. I don't recommend them to anyone and if I have have a choice I will never do business with them again.

This is by far, the worst commercial lender I have ever worked with…read more They create term sheets on basically every deal and then never fund. I had two instances where they: #1 - quoted the deal and proposed a term sheet #2 - completed a cumbersome due diligence and scheduled a closing date #3 - rejected the loan the day before closing One loan was for $700,000 or 50% LTV The other loan was for $4mm or 40% LTV How do these guys screw up low leverage deals when the DSCR is well over 1.5? A completely incompetent and dishonest group. A guy named Mike M was such a lazy dude from California who screwed up everything he did for me. tell you one thing... change it to something else with just made up reasons. It's the most unprofessional lender around besides the Hard Money and MCA thieves in NYC.... but not too far from that. F Velocity!!!!

They were condescending marcos acted as if he was helping us when every step of the way it was last minute for everything our escrow was pushed out multiple times we had to re-run credit multiple times. We had to provide documents multiple times because we were over two months for our closing. We use the Oxnard office, but I would highly highly recommend anybody to run as far away as possible. Even the day we were supposed to close , we had to provide additional funds, and then our closing got pushed out over the weekend again

The biggest mistake I ever made was taking my dad's recommendation to use John Stetson to do my…read moreloan for the purchase of my second house. He was the most condescending a**hole I have ever met who cared nothing about my needs or happiness with his services. He seriously could not have been more obnoxious every time we spoke. But most importantly, my number one complaint is that he failed to follow the purchase contract and decided to commit me to a $35,000 higher down payment than I laid out in my offer on the house. By the time I realized what he did, he had already moved forward with the underwriting process with the additional money due from me and it was too late... I either had to cough up the extra money or lose the loan, start the process over, and get a higher interest rate. When he knew I was unhappy he didn't even say sorry. He defended what he did and tried to tell me it was in my best interest. He took advantage of the unique, weakened position I was in at the time to do what was best for himself. And, before the loan had even funded and I was in the house, he sold the the loan to double dip on the commission, which required a second job verification that almost couldn't have been obtained and he tried to threaten me that I could lose my house if I didn't call my employer that I've been on a medical leave from to pressure me to get the boss to verify a second time. Stay away far far away from this guy if you want a smooth, pleasant loan process. Especially if you're a woman. He could not have been more rude, condescending, and impatient every time we spoke. I seriously would tell my realtor to call him on my behalf when something was needed because he was so disgusting to speak to. If I could have changed lenders mid way through I would have but because of my medical leave situation it was complicated and I stayed with him. Please do yourself a favor and avoid him, Teresa Moreno, and Option Funding at all costs. He is a slimy POS that will put his own interests before your own every step of the way. Good riddance, John.

Steve Marche and the entire team at Great American Funding Corporation are amazing!…read more We were most likely one of their most challenging clients for a loan with the head of household being disabled on SS. Steve and his team never gave up to successfully secure a loan for us. They did not just do the minimum required, they went above and beyond. Each step in the very complicated loan process (for us as first time borrowers) was followed up via emails and phone calls. When the first and second options fell through, he swiftly went on to option three. Giving up was not in Steve's vocabulary. It was not discussed, not once. When we had questions, it was never too early or too late to contact Steve. He would pick up the phone and take his time to explain everything. If he did not have the answer at his fingertips from 30+ years of experience, he was honest, found the answer and called us back. When we were discouraged and stressed, borderline rude, he understood and told us to not give up: "I got you, hang in there" were his kind words we heard a few times. And he was right! He and his team got us. They handled it all. We highly recommend Steve and the entire team at Great American Funding Corporation.

Success in life is largely based on who you align yourself with in various areas…read more We started to Refi our loan almost 12 months ago. We had some credit score issues but my income and debt to income were solid. I went from one broker to another who said they could get it done for me only to end up wasting time and money. Most of these guys use the same system and the mortgage business has reduced all of us borrowers to just numbers. They put your FICO score into the system and it's either a yes or a no. There is no expertise to this industry it seems. I came across Great American and Steve and he seemed to have a different approach. I presented my situation to him and after some analysis he stated he could get it done. Fortunately, 5 weeks later I have a closed loan through Great American. I am sure it takes years of experience and due diligence making the connections to be successful in this business and Steve has certainly done that. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to get a mortgage loan. Whether you have perceived obstacles with credit or property value, bring them to Steve and he can honestly assess whether you can get the financing you need. I am glad we did and we are now almost $600 in the black every month thanks to Steve's help. We look forward to future success in this area now that we have Steve in our corner.
