An absolutely fantastic experience with Full Circle Home Loans. My first person of contact was…read morewith Tiffany who was incredibly informative, authentic, and responsive. After talking with Seth, there was zero doubt in my mind this is the team I want to be a part of. The group has been outstanding from beginning to end with getting the second home loan. It feels incredibly personal and they are most definitely there to hold your hands and encourage you. I had a bit of a panic attack one day during the process and reached out to both Seth and Tiffany. They were able to bring me back down to Earth, reassure me, and bring me back to feeling excited. This was exactly what I needed. Short term rentals are still very new to me but if you need a team to get you through this, this group is the one. Cannot wait to continue to do work with them.

He spoke to me about some concerns about the deal to make sure I was aware, and I don't think any other lender would have done that because they would just want the deal.

Can't thank them enough.

I would highly recommend this Lending Company for refinancing your Mortgage. I had the greatest…read moreexperience with them. I'd done refinancing in the past and did not get what I wanted in the end. This time I was ready with the heavy questions to get what I wanted. This company did not hide unexpected fees, nor give inaccurate calculations or unexplained excessive interest rates. They were very transparent about all monetary and interest related situations down to the penny. They were excellently managed and took care to answer all my questions and concerns. They gave me the best quotes after l had looked at several other lenders. If I had any problems, they were quickly fixed. I especially loved working with Paloma Barron. She was really on top of the whole process. Her manager was also very helpful. I am extremely satisfied.

From start to finish, Uriel demonstrated professionalism, patience, and genuine dedication. He remained in consistent contact with me throughout the year, following up as my credit improved and ensuring I was in the best position to qualify for a better rate. His proactive communication and encouragement made the process feel manageable and transparent every step of the way. When challenges arose, both Uriel and Christina went above and beyond to find solutions. Their teamwork, responsiveness, and problem-solving skills were evident in how smoothly they handled every hurdle that came our way. Thanks to their commitment and persistence, we successfully completed the refinance with great results. I am truly grateful for their hard work and outstanding customer service. I would highly recommend Uriel Salinas, Christina Klapprich, and the Advantage First Lending team to anyone looking for knowledgeable, caring, and dependable professionals in the lending process.

As a first-time buyer, I had the pleasure to work with Armin (Guardian Capital) regarding my…read moreproject. I have exchanged probably 40+ emails,Calls and SMS (my preferred communication method) with him asking a lot of questions, and to run different scenarios over 3 months! Armin went above and beyond to always provide top quality responses. As most (first-time) home buyers, I have inquired to various mortgage lenders (banks, brokers, etc.). I did send the exact same email - to introduce myself, describing my project and asking questions - I can tell you that I was deeply shocked by the contrast between the responses... some banks were clearly unprofessional: did not respond to the questions... and even worst... providing their opinion about the real-estate market and their own preferences for various neighborhoods ... some always had excuses to postpone a detailed answer (broken laptop, business travels, etc.).... Armin was simply amazing... always spot on in all his responses, explanations... always suggesting what would be in my best interest... always responding... he was simply outstanding...! I cannot stress enough how satisfy and lucky I was to have chance to deal with Armin regarding my project. Armin is a great, friendly, and honest person... if you have chance to work with him... go ahead, you wont be disappointed!! As far as I am concerned, and I was able to witness a lot while shopping for lenders, Armin is a gold-standard reference in terms of Loan Officer and best advisor..., he's in a league of his own! Highly Recommended! Thank you Guardian Capital (Armin)

Our real estate agent referred us to Franklin Direct, and we worked with Justin Walsh…read more We thought getting a loan would be super stressful--tons of paperwork, digging up old documents, slow responses... just a lot of back and forth. But Justin made the whole thing way easier than we expected. He answered all of our questions fast, kept everything moving, and helped us close in just 15 days. What we thought would be a headache ended up being the smoothest part of buying our home. We're really glad we got connected with Franklin Direct and Justin.

Could not have asked for a smoother loan/escrow process with them and our realtor. They explained everything and gave us all our options even if they were time consuming for them to research/formulate, just so we could go with the best loan for us.

Real estate transactions are rarely perfectly smooth -- and it's in the complex, time-sensitive moments where true professionals stand out. Time and again, JJ and his team have navigated difficult files, solved problems before they escalated, and delivered results when it mattered most. They communicate clearly, anticipate challenges early, and remain steady under pressure. More than once, they've stepped into situations that required creative structuring, tight timelines, or last-minute adjustments -- and they've simply handled it. My clients consistently feel informed, supported, and protected throughout the process. That level of consistency over eight years is not accidental -- it's a reflection of expertise and integrity. I trust them fully, and in this business, trust is everything.
