    Service requested: Refinance We first connected with Esther…read morea few years ago and never forgot how professional and genuinely helpful she was. So when it was time to refinance, calling her was an easy decision! Esther makes what could be a stressful process feel easy.. She explains everything clearly, is incredibly responsive, and truly has your best interests at heart. She and her team stayed on top of every detail from start to finish. Quality: Top-notch service and attention to detail Value: Excellent guidance and a smooth, stress-free experience Highly recommend Esther and her team!

    We just closed and funded on our latest deal today, and I want to take a moment to recognize Esther…read moreand her team for an exceptional job. In this business, execution and timing are everything--Esther and Paul delivered on both at a very high level. From initial structuring through funding, the process was handled with precision. Communication was clear and efficient, expectations were managed properly, and any complexities were addressed proactively without slowing down the timeline. That level of control over a transaction is not easy to find. What stood out most was the ability to navigate the deal strategically while keeping everything moving forward. For anyone operating in real estate investment or development, having a lending partner you can rely on is critical. Esther and Paul has proven to be exactly that. Looking forward to doing more deals together.

    Stephen went above and beyond during mine and my boyfriend's first home purchase. He was super…read morecommunicative and even connected directly with my agent to ensure everything went smoothly. We recently had the opportunity to refinance and without hesitation, Stephen reached out directly to us as soon as he noticed rates were coming down. We did not need to chase him for it nor constantly inquire about it--he just felt like it was the right time and reached out! I'm very grateful for Stephen and his team and will definitely be referring him to our friends and family.

    Based on his numerous good reviews, I messaged Stephen early last August about the possibility of…read moregetting a United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) 15-year fixed home loan at 1.99%. This was a new program announced by press release, which I read about in a Yahoo! Finance article, through a link on Google News. Having worked previously in real estate and finance, I knew what the key points were to our situation, so I included those in the message to Stephen, asking whether he would be able to do the loan. Stephen responded abruptly by saying that he would have to talk with me by phone, to discuss "details." After I called him, he proceeded to try to browbeat me into accepting a different program at a higher interest rate. His approach was to use old-fashioned psychological pressure tactics, along the lines of: "Are you so naïve that you think you could actually get such a loan? That rate is just a teaser that you would never actually get." He was crude, demeaning and even insulting. I informed him, politely, that I had a background in real estate and finance, so I was not naïve about these things, offering him one last chance to do business with us, if he was so inclined. But he insisted that the loan would not be possible for us, so I thanked him and said goodbye. Shortly thereafter, I found a straightforward loan broker who in fact did the loan for us, on exactly the terms I had in mind: 1.99% 15-year fixed, with a reasonable fee. We closed in less than three weeks and none of the things that Stephen said were obstacles turned out to be an issue. I am pleased to report that my wife and I are now enjoying substantially lower monthly payments. BOTTOM LINE: If you want someone with an "old-school" approach to sales--involving psychological games, pressure tactics and absence of transparency (resulting in your not getting the best deal that you could)--Stephen Wong may be a good fit for you. Anyone interested in connecting with the straightforward broker we ultimately used is welcome to send me a private message, as I'm not allowed to include that information in my review.

    Julia has been our real-estate and mortgage adviser for the last 2 years, and she is amazing at…read morewhat she does! She helped us buy our first home, re-finance our loan, and sell my mother's property ---- all 3 projects went smoothly, on-time, and without any issues! Usually loans and home-selling/buying is stressful, but with Julia, she makes it seem very easy. I highly recommend her dedication, passion and professionalism. She is the best agent and loan consultant I have worked with, and will work with her again in a heartbeat!

    Julia recently helped us get a loan for our dream house. I…read moreaccidentally came across a property that I really liked (on a Friday) and wanted to put an offer as soon as possible competing with several other suiters. Julia worked diligently during the weekend to go over my assets and liabilities and gave me a pre-approval on Sunday night (despite power outages due to fires)! My offer was accepted but the seller wanted a tight period of contingency removal. Again, Julia worked diligently to put all documents in order for the UW review (I have a complicated portfolio of assets and liabilities). In multiple rounds of interactions with the UW, Julia was very quick in looping back the inquiries to me and channelling back my responses to the UW. Without Julia's help, we couldn't lift the loan contingency in time and could have missed the opportunity to buy the property. We very much appreciate the help that Julia provided in the process.

    Have zero security in any approval/pre-approval/fully underwritten pre-approval from Wells Fargo…read more Terrible mortgage experience Wells Fargo pre-approved us then issued a conditional approval so we were good to go for closing then pulled out last minute approximately 2 business days before closing for an issue not mentioned on the conditional pre-approval and completely non-financial reason. Wells Fargo provided no way for us to respond to their last minute objections and simply denied the loan leaving us high and dry risking our deposit in escrow. Never have had such a terrible experience. Tom Forker & Eva Black were our WF focal points. Update 12/31/20: Wells Fargo Corporate office called to inform that they have denied my request for an appraisal refund & also received a letter from Zoila Sarmiento stating the same. Stay away from Wells Fargo if you value your time and money.

His responsiveness is especially appreciated in situations where quick bids can mean the getting your dream home, as it did for us. He offered us the best rate by a good margin and even helped us correct an issue to get a lower rate. Highly recommend--he will help you get a deal done with his uber-responsiveness and offer (and help to achieve) great terms.
