As someone who has been through the mortgage financing grind six times in my life, I can claim…read morewithout any hesitation, that Strategic Home Loans is the best. Mark Gottlieb worked with me to make sure that we locked in the lowest possible rate, and when I say lowest possible rate... I don't know anyone who has a 30 year fixed mortgage as low or lower than the one I received. And I shopped around... Obviously there are a lot of factors that come into play with the rate, but Mark was a patient advisor who monitored the rates with me for a couple of weeks and when we both agreed it was time to lock in, call it luck, call it skill, call it serendipity, we locked in at rock bottom. The next day rates started climbing again. Then comes the process of getting the paperwork done. Mark, Denise Coffaro, and Robert Bartolomea shepherded my file with great care, making sure things kept moving forward and outstanding issues were addressed in a timely manner. It was a very stress-free process and I appreciated the transparency and communication of overall progress. They explained everything really well and were always available to answer questions. I don't think I ever waited more than 5 minutes for a response to an email. Lastly, for a transaction occurring during the COVID lockdown, I appreciate how everything was able to be done remotely. The only in-person meeting was with the notary to sign the documents, and they came to my house and were fine signing in our backyard, so I felt safe from beginning to end. I cannot recommend Strategic Home Loans highly enough... if you are looking to buy, or looking to refi, they are the best partners you could ask for.

=== Pandemic Exodus ===…read more The housing market is hot right now. Flippers are trying to flop the nuts. Homeowners are taking profits and finding new lower cost safe havens. Are moneyed transplants driving up LA prices? I see you SF & NYC people. Shannon has been the best part of the this frustrating home shopping experience. (If you thought online dating was bad, wait til you deal with seller agents) With the pandemic, the rules of the game have changed significantly. So you really need a lender agent with experience and hustle to back you up. Without that - one will likely miss out as homes are going over asking price and sold quickly in days. + Fast pre-approval letter. Required for most property visits. + Fast cross qualifications. A few sellers want their own financial verification to go along with any buy offers. + Land lease property? Doable. + Short escrows and tight funding deadlines? No problem. + She truly has your own financial interests at heart. This is not a platitude but my first hand experience. RE can be a cold game. If you want to join the fray, look to Shannon to guide you through this chaos.

What can I say, Shannon is AWESOME! I had a client that needed a local loan officer and was able to…read moresend them to Shannon for a really tricky loan that needed serious expertise to figure out. In talking to her, I found out that she is very experienced with the entertainment industry for clients that have varying income as well as non traditional type of income and was able to find a solution which absolutely saved the DAY! If you have a deal that needs some finesse or a solution that you haven't been able to find elsewhere, Shannon is your girl! I'd give her 10 out of 10 stars if I could! Look no further!

My personal experience working with Tressa was horrible. I was the agent on a deal for a buyer I…read morebrought to her, and everything felt fine prior to acceptance, but went downhill immediately after. To start, Tressa became upset with me for allowing the buyer to open on a Friday instead of the next Monday saying we just lost 3 critical days, but then proceeded to change both the loan amount and the down payment assistance amount without notifying me or my client! We both (the buyer and I) only found out about it 2 weeks AFTER opening (so that time gone) because I had requested an estimated closing statement. She made the correction, but continued to, in my opinion, purposely keep me in the dark about the status of our file. So when we didn't receive CTC one week like she said we should have, I asked her about it and to my horror found out: 1) She sat on my client's file for the first 12 days, as in didn't submit the city reservation request at all, blaming it on issues with the buyer. One of these "issues" she told me had been resolved in 5 days, and the other "issue" she never brought up to me at all, all while leading me to believe everything was moving as it should be 2) She held off for 15 days to submit my client's info. to another DPA program, even though she knew about it the first week in escrow. She again tried to blame the buyer saying it was sprung on her last minute, when it was not. 3) The city can actually take up to 4 full weeks! to send their check after CTC, something she never told me about (up until then she had told me 2-3 weeks) even though I had directly asked her about it. When I then adamantly requested to know okay how much time do we really need since clearly we're behind, Tressa - refused to provide an answer - proceeded to blame me once again for allowing us to open on a Friday - used info. she found on my Instagram to INSULT me multiple times - complained about barely making any money on this deal - lied about requesting a document we needed to get us up to speed (when she hadn't) - then called the listing agent without my knowledge asking why the closing date had been changed (when it had not been! Tressa had misread the contracts). I ended up having to set up direct points of contact with everyone involved -- the underwriter, the city, her broker, etc.; watch over her like a hawk daily; and corroborate every piece of info. she gave me to get this deal done. To say that I was beyond disappointed, in my personal experience, would be an understatement. Please note again, this was my own experience working with her behind-the-scenes, not as a buyer.

As a first-time homebuyer, I felt like there was A LOT of trust that I was just being asked to put…read moreinto other people's hands to get through this process successfully. Living in California, this is especially terrifying given how competitive and expensive the market is. And add on top of that the distrust built up from the scam that is student loan debt. With that being said, I thought that I would be the only person I could rely on to look out for my best interests throughout the home-buying process, and holy crap was I wrong. I don't understand how Tressa and her team can have hearts so big to give all of her clients the support, attention, reassurance, and care that I received while working with them. While I was looking for a home, interests rates were increasing faster than they ever had in decades, but still Tressa fought like hell to find me the best rates. There were legitimately points when I was on the phone with her, trying to understand how she benefitted from giving me such unbelievable deals, only to find out the only reason was because, "It seems like you really need this and I want to help you." And as sellers were taking more and more protections away from buyers to squeeze every penny out of them, there was Tressa, in my corner, leaving no stone unturned to make sure I'd be safe if anything went south, putting her neck out there on my behalf. And each step of the process, whether via email, text, phone call, or video appointment, her team's communications were clear and frequent. This especially meat a lot to me as I was trying to close on a house while on a charity bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles! It felt like she and her team were always by my side, and I feel incredibly grateful to now be in a home that I love, only made possible by the tireless and selfless efforts by Tressa and her team. Just go ahead and work with her. You'd be sorely missing out if you didn't.

There were 2 holidays in these 14 days and I'm still amazed he was able to work through this. Definitely recommend working with him since he's the best at what he does.

He helped my wife and me buy our first home in Los Angeles, and we couldn't have done it without him. From the beginning of our home-buying journey, Koorosh was incredibly kind, helpful, and responsive. Our situation was slightly more unique and complex than others, but it posed absolutely no challenge to Koorosh. Furthermore, the home we ultimately closed on was a competitive "hot" home where we offered an extremely competitive three-week escrow period. Koorosh took the time to talk to the selling agent to assure him it could be done, and it was! A three-week escrow is no joke, and Koorosh executed it masterfully. We will be using Koorosh for any and all future property purchases and cannot recommend him enough.
