It was through an email I received about a free first home time buyer webinar that I came to know…read moreabout Jason Mata. I did additional research on him and saw stellar reviews about him. In addition, they provided discounts for UC Davis Alumni that helped with some of the closing costs which sold me. Being a single parent any financial assistance would come along way. My decision to purchase a home came to me suddenly. I came in as first time home buyer with limited knowledge on the home buying process. I knew I wanted a home with a two or three bedroom house. I began my home buying process in June 2020. The pre-approval was seamless. I knew I my credit score was excellent but I worried about my debt to ratio. I graduated with $22k in student loan debt. In 2019 I made the mistake of taking out an auto loan under my name for my friend. I would regret making this decision because it complicated the home buying process. I entered into escrow twice. First home was two bedroom and one bathroom. It was suited for a single mother and a child. The location was perfect. I was within in short driving distance to retail stores and Arden Mall. I placed an offer on the home. We were given 21 days to close escrow. American Pacific Mortgage failed to meet the deadline. They had requested for two extensions and still was not able to fulfill their deadline. Ultimately, the seller decided to cancel the sell of the house. I was devastated. I attributed this to my debt to ratio. My home buying journey had to continue. After a few houses later I was fortunate to have found a home within my pre-approval range. I went with my agent Alex Villanueva to go see and loved it! It had everything I wanted in a home. I placed an offer in August 2020. We were given a 30 days to close escrow. The seller asking price was slightly higher than my pre-approved home loan. My agent spoke with Jason and asked if he would be able to increase my pre-approved home loan to meet the seller's terms. Jason made it happen I was beyond ecstatic. As mentioned previously, the auto loan was negatively affecting my home loan process. This was placing a stop with getting my home loan approved. Jason and his team asked for an extension and the seller complied. At times was it hard to get into contact with Jason but attributed to working on getting the home loan. It was through my agent Alex that I found out that Jason had pulled strings and made my dreams of owning a home a dream come true! We were past our closing escrow deadline at this point. At the end, the home loaned was approved! I was finally able to breath a sigh of relief. I knew the home buying process would become be stressful but it would be worth it at the end. I officially became a home owner on October 15, 2020. Thank you to Jason Mata and American Pacific Mortgage for delivering!

I just did a refi with Jason during unprecedented (daily) changes to the market (covid19). Those…read morenew changes added a substantial amount of new work and obstacles to the process, including additional costs, time, etc, however Jason handled it with total professionalism the entire time. Whenever I emailed him with a question (which was a lot), he always either responded to the email within minutes, or called me back right away. With a different mortgage company a few years ago, I often had issues with getting a response (especially to the "dumb questions"), however I didn't have that issue with Jason. His responses were always quick & clear, which was really helpful since it was my first refi. Thanks again for going above and beyond in securing the best rate possible during such a difficult, stressful time. I will be recommending Jason to others.

From day one, Jeff worked tirelessly to make our dream of homeownership happen. He stayed in constant communication, kept us updated every step of the way, and always made time to answer our questions. When we didn't understand something, he never rushed us. He patiently explained everything until we did. There were plenty of moments when things felt stressful, but Jeff stayed calm, positive, and determined. His knowledge, professionalism, and genuine care gave us confidence throughout the entire process. He didn't treat us like another file on his desk. He treated us like family. In fact, my kids know him as "Uncle Jeff," and that says everything about the kind of person he is. Jeff didn't simply help us get a loan. He helped our family achieve the dream of owning our home. We will never forget everything he did for us. If you're looking for a loan officer who is honest, hardworking, patient, and truly invested in your success, I recommend Jeff Gorman without hesitation. Thank you, Jeff.

With the recent increases in rent (fun fact: Sacramento has the third-highest rent increase in the…read moreU.S.) paired with soaring home prices, my wife and I were stuck in a tough position. With the possibility of another recession approaching in the upcoming years, we could continue to rent and pray that home prices eventually decline. However, we literally felt like we were throwing money away as our apartment complex continued to increase rent in order to remain competitive with neighboring complexes. We decided to take a leap of faith and see what the housing market could offer us. Per recommendation by our Realtor Mrs. Courtney Ellison, we scheduled an appointment with Mortgage Loan Originator Mrs. Shannon Walton at VITEK Mortgage group. Leading up to our initial appointment with Shannon, Shannon sent us an email detailing all of the items that we would need for our pre-approval. When we arrived at the VITEK office, Shannon immediately welcomed us into her office. Before diving into the home loan process, Shannon inquired about the areas that we would prefer to live in, and our ideal mortgage payment. Next, she patiently walked us through the home loan process from beginning to end. After hearing the process and having all of our questions answered, we decided to move forward with the pre-approval. Once we received approval, Shannon began explaining the various loan options that we could opt for. She patiently played the "fun" numbers game that would eventually assist us in determining our monthly mortgage payment (home amount, down payment, loan longevity, interest rate). Shannon would eventually arrive at numbers that satisfied my wife and I. That evening we left Shannon's office confident that we would find a home that we could comfortably (keyword) afford. Once our amazing Realtor was able to assist us in finding our home, the loan process kicked into overdrive. From beginning to end, Shannon did a great job of communicating every intricate detail of the loan process (there were no "surprises" at the end of the process). Although we did not physically see Shannon until we had to meet in person for the loan signing, Shannon kept in touch with us via email and quickly responded to any questions that we had. Aside from her home loan expertise, Shannon was a pleasure to work with. She is very relatable, professional, understanding, and not once did we feel like we were under any pressure to conduct business with her. Most importantly, she alleviated the new homebuyer stress and anxiety that we were experiencing. We highly recommend Shannon for your home loan needs....thank you Shannon!

If I could give Jeanine more than five stars, I would…read more Buying my first home at 63 years old after a lifetime of renting felt exciting, overwhelming, and at times downright terrifying. From the very beginning, Jeanine was so much more than a mortgage broker, she became a trusted guide through every step of the process. No question was ever too small. She patiently explained things I didn't understand, kept me informed every step of the way, and somehow made a very complex process feel manageable and even possible. Whenever a new document, underwriting request, insurance issue, or unexpected question came up, Jeanine was there with calm reassurance, knowledge, and practical solutions. What impressed me most was how deeply she cared. I never felt like just another client. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, coordinated with my realtor, escrow, insurance broker, and lender, and always had my best interests at heart. I truly not only felt, but knew she was advocating for me throughout the entire process. Thanks to Jeanine, I am now the proud owner of my very first home. Looking back, I honestly don't know how I could have navigated this journey without her expertise, patience, encouragement, and unwavering support. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, and willing to go far above and beyond, I recommend Jeanine without hesitation. She helped make one of the biggest dreams of my life come true, and I will always be grateful.
