I recently finished a cash-out refi with America's Moneyline and had an incredibly smooth and…read morepleasant experience - primarily due to my super awesome loan officer, MICHAEL SAADATI - who I truly can't say enough great things about. Having refinanced multiple times in the past, I know how stressful, and anxiety-ridden this entire process can be... back-and-forth emails, countless docs, phone calls, credit reports, all the while trying to make a deadline that only seems more impossible by the day. But fortunately for me, MICHAEL SAADATI was the consummate professional: extremely knowledgeable, very kind, and graciously willing to hold my hand, every step of the way. At no time did I ever feel like Michael was pressuring me, or trying to sell me something that he didn't believe in. In fact, at the very beginning of our correspondence, when rates were less than stellar, Michael suggested that I wait for a better deal rather than commit to something that he knew was less than ideal for me (even at the risk of losing me as a customer). What I most appreciate about Michael was his consistent responsiveness - even when he was unavailable to talk (and I would call him, often frantically, just about everyday), he would reach out immediately after. He never made me feel underappreciated, or that my business was less than significant, as many loan officers have in the past. On the contrary, Michael was unceasingly patient and understanding. I'm sure Michael deals with many clients simultaneously - as all loan officers do - but he never made me feel that way, not once. Everytime I spoke to Michael or asked him a question, or even went on about whatever, he recalled exactly the loan in question, and each time I had an inquiry about some minute detail, whether in the Disclosures or elsewhere, Michael would find the right answer for me. Even when I had a minor glitch with the home appraisal, Michael told me not to worry, that he would absolutely take care of things... like I said before, I can't say enough great things about my man, MICHAEL SAADATI. He's everything you'd want in a loan officer, and more. If you're looking for great rates from a no-nonsense company, pick AMERICA's MONEYLINE. And if you want stellar, top-notch, A+++ service, choose MICHAEL SAADATI as your loan officer. A true, legit 5-star professional who truly wants what's best for you.

I don't know why I didn't think of looking for this sooner. I do the same for my personal auto and home insurance - so why not for mortgages? They are able to check rates with a number of lenders and find the best rate - but at the same time, are an excellent source of information about mortgages so that you don't feel like they are representing a bank. I worked with Patrick and he was fantastic. He is a work horse and always took my call to discuss current rates and options. I am confident in saying that they will get you the best rate available. The rate I was able to get was significantly lower both in the rate and in the credits available. My realtor was shocked, and immediately asked for their contact info to share with her future clients. You don't pay them anything - so there really isn't any reason not to try and see if they can help you - either with a mortgage or a refinance.

My wife and I just closed on our first home and we have Andy to thank for skillfully guiding us…read morethrough the process. We originally started the process with another lender, but didn't feel that we were getting the level of attention we deserved. We also had concerns about the interest rate and lender fees we were quoted. Andy was recommended by a co-worker and I am so happy I called him. He immediately pointed out errors another lender had made with my file, found me a lower interest rate, and cut lender fees and closing costs by nearly half. It seemed too good to be true, but as of today we are proud homeowners with the keys in our hand. What stands out the most about Andy is his communication skills and attention to detail. He was always available to us (and to the other parties involved) for questions, but better yet, he gave us a heads up about everything coming our way. We never felt blindsided about anything in the whole process. He took a very stressful situation and turned it into something manageable and comfortable. I look forward to working with Andy again and will proudly recommend him to anyone looking to purchase or refinance a home.

It is absolutely incredible how incompetent these people are.

I called to have this payment reversed as it caused me to go overdraft. The person I talked to was no help and delayed the process more. The representative could see I had the payment scheduled the payment for 9/30 but said the phone call would need to be revied to be certain I never authorized that payment to come out on 9/16 or some earlier date. The representative opened a ticket and said I would hear from by the end of the day. The day came and went with no response. I called back first thing the next morning to find out that the ticket had been opened incorrectly. I asked for a supervisor everything I called because clearly nobody knew what they were doing. The second representative told me I would get a call back within 24 hours. I finally received a call from a supervisor 30 hours later and they told me they made the decision to refund me and the money would be transferred into my account within 24 - 48 hours. 6 days later I got a call that I was later told was JMJ and they needed to know the account information to send the money to, I was at work and could not answer and they did not leave a message so they closed the ticket. I finally spoke with someone who verified my bank information and told me they would refund the money within 4 days. They still managed to tell me that they will report me to the credit bureau if I did not have my payment on time.

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.

This was the smoothest of any home buying process I've ever gone through. Dino's team was on top of everything from Day 1 - and had everything ready well before closing. We had an assigned team right out of the gate so I knew exactly whom to contact about what. Closing costs were very reasonable, they got us a great rate, and everything was handled so professionally from their end - despite a number of hiccups and issues with the "brand name" seller's escrow and title company we got stuck dealing with. Not to mention, as we were out of state buyers there were a number of items we needed education on - they were able to walk us thru the each piece of the process end to end. They truly made our home buying process painless and stress free! Thanks Mario, Kim and Dino!

From day 1, they've been very honest and transparent and there was never any surprises that could push back our escrow. If they thought that we would have possible issues, they told us upfront and so we were always prepared for anything. 2. If it's your first time purchasing a house, terms and numbers are confusing. But they've explained everything to us so well. And if we found a house that we liked, all we need to do is send Byron the address and he would email us with the numbers which really prepared us for anything! 3. They're all easy to reach. I could email now and get a response in less than an hour, and if it's important, I could get a call back in minutes. 4. Customer service skills is unparalleled. 5. They give you cookies from Cravory cookies (which is to die for). And once Russell found out that we loved the cookies, they sent us another box! So if I could give them 10 stars, I would. We've had such a great experience with this team, and would highly recommend them to our friends and family.

I had been receiving detailed instructions and assistance from Byron Watson and his team on how to find the place - and they're located across from the Irvine Spectrum, on the 7th floor of the Smile Brands building in Irvine! As I was ushered into the office, I quickly saw that they were ready for my visit. I was greeted pleasantly by the staff and noticed a welcome board with my name on it - wow, impressed already. After some pleasantries, we got some water and got to work. Byron was extremely helpful and patient when explaining every detail of the home buying process that we could get to in our two (2) hour time frame. This meeting definitely increased my confidence and willingness to buy a home, and I'm glad Byron and team were there to show me the first step! Will remain in contact with Fairway and Byron throughout the purchase and financing process. A very professional and informative experience that is really valuable - definitely recommend to anyone that's new to this stuff as well :)
