Impeccable Communication & Professionalism! Jennifer was instrumental to having our offer accepted. She guaranteed a quick turnaround for closing and was immediately available for help during the entire process! If you look at all her other reviews, it's a no-brainer that you reach out to have her represent you. She's transparent, knowledgeable, easy to work with, and will provide you with as much information possible to make informed decisions. If she's unable to answer your questions, rest assured that she will find someone for you! It's impressive how she maintains the same level of service for all her customers--you won't regret it! read more

Jennifer was instrumental in helping me purchase my first home. I cannot say enough great things about her and how easy she made this process!! She helped me lock in a great rate and helped make any hurdles or bumps in the road as smooth as possible. I cannot recommend her enough!!! Thanks Jennifer! read more

Jennifer Chang Galutera was amazing! She was always so kind and worked so hard to make sure that we were able to close on time! She gave us a phenomenal rate and points. In fact, we ended up paying almost 50% less than what we would have had to pay in points at better.com! I found it astounding (in a very good way!) how responsive Jennifer was to all of my questions. I would get an almost immediate response whether it was by text or by email or by phone. She would even respond on weekends! I can see that Jennifer takes great pride in her work and is incredibly knowledgeable. She also didn't hesitate to think outside the box to make sure that I didn't have to provide extra documentation. I really enjoyed my experience as a first-time homebuyer working with Jennifer for my mortgage loan. I feel like she was one of the bright lights that made the whole home buying adventure much less stressful than it would have otherwise been. If you get the opportunity to work with Jennifer to finance or refinance your loan, don't hesitate and make sure to ask for her. I had to be quite firm with another agent (Romeo Anthony Tajanlangit, Jr. Sr. Loan AdvisorNMLS# 1295160) who was resistant in relaying my request to work with Jennifer. read more

Jennifer Chang made our home-buying experience feel seamless!! She's a rock star loan adviser. As a first-time home buyer, I was overwhelmed. Jennifer always responded quickly, was incredibly knowledgeable, available to help, AND was a joy to work with! She made this entire experience easy and seamless - my husband and I were incredibly impressed and grateful for her service and will 100% recommend her to all her friends /family. read more

Review for Cody Kreger: Word's can't come close to describing how amazing this process has been due to Cody K. He stayed up night over night, working through different scenarios, giving it 110%, finding us the best rates! Cody tells it as it is, there is no other loan officer that will put in the same amount of work and honesty, and generally cares about the clients like Cody. He's become a friend and I can't recommend him enough to anyone looking for new mortgage. Keep up the great work, there aren't many like you out there Cody! read more

I was referred by a friend who said Jennifer was able to close very quickly for their first home purchase, and she did not disappoint. As a first-time home buyer, I had lots of questions, and Jennifer was always quick to respond to all my emails. We were able to close 10 days earlier than originally planned because she worked so tirelessly. My realtor also really loved how easy it was to work with Jennifer and that all the underwriting is done in house. I would not hesitate to recommend Jennifer to all my friends. read more

Jennifer Chang Galutera and the LoanLock team are the best! My wife and I were the buyers and both our agent as well as the seller's agent, who have countless years in the industry, were awestruck at how fast and polished the loan process was-- and it's all thanks to Jennifer! With her quick responses and clear instructions, I was able to get through each milestone wayyy ahead of schedule (essentially done in 2 weeks). Also helpful were the LoanLock instructions and videos to guide me through each step of the process, so it couldn't have been easier. Thank you for the great experience, Jennifer! read more

This review is long overdue, as I have been quite a bit busy with settling into my new home and the holidays happening at the same time. Where to begin? Well, without going into a long-winded story, I just wanted to give a huge, heartfelt thank you to Megan C. for helping me through a ridiculously challenging home purchase (that was due to external factors). Megan not only walked me through each and every difficult step, but she was very communicative, upfront, and thorough. She was also always extremely responsive, no matter what time of day I called and emailed her. Her most valuable characteristic is that she knows her stuff inside-out, and having someone like that on your side really instills confidence throughout the entire process. Her high level of professionalism and dedication are really just the cherry on top! In short, I can say with confidence that there would be little to no chance of my home purchase going through if it weren't for her hard work and perseverance. I feel like I owe her so much for her help placing me and my family into our dream home. To have someone who is not a friend or family member go so far above and beyond made me feel incredibly valued. I would absolutely recommend Megan and her team to anyone who needs a mortgage. I had such an impressive experience from beginning to end! read more

This is my second time working with George on refi. Solid experience overall. Very competitive rates. LoanLock also listened and fixed the kinks in their process, so they deserve all five stars in this review. Keep up the good work and putting clients first, George et al. read more

LoanLock provides very competitive rates - as well as being competitive in areas such as Loan Origination costs, points, and other Loan Costs. We refinanced with George H - who worked with us to select the best option available for our situation. Overall the service was great, response times were quick, and the application process was relatively straightforward. A quick comment on some of the 1 star reviews by others: I recognize that the frustration from the commenters are genuine - and I do wish their loans closed on time for them. But with that said,... I have done several mortgage financing in the past decade, and in every situation - I was always asked to provide more information or more documents - whether it be an updated paystub, an updated ID, or a letter of explanation. I feel as though this is actually the "typical experience" when applying for a mortgage, and you have to be prepared for it to help ensure a quick, timely close. read more

Cody assisted us through the whole process from pre-qualification to underwriting and final funding. Each of the steps required documentation for which Cody always provided a rationale. He's got the fastest turnaround across all loan agents. From the start, we'd identified a property ahead of our planned purchase window and Cody produced a pre-qualification letter overnight. On facilitating underwriting, he's versed with calculating complex debt-to-income with the stock plans and/or S-Corp/LLC business incomes. Lastly, the buyers we were in contract with had specific recording requirements with the county while we had time constraints with the moving crew. Cody navigated this situation by getting the clear to close early and coordinating with escrow agents for recording as planned on our timeline! His communication with all parties involved (escrow, both real estate agents, us) was timely and to the point. For the reasons above and more, I highly recommend Cody for any home loan needs. read more

In the past few years I've acquired one mortgage on a purchase and done two refis. I used Better.com before twice and Loanlock blew them out of the water. I shopped hard on this refi - I checked local brokers, Costco's mortgage program, Better.com, etc. Loanlock was a winner by a quarter point with similar terms. Obviously rates vary but I'm hugely impressed by the rate I got compared to the rest of the market. Even with the low cost I never felt like I was getting anything but expertise and great service. Jennifer was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and prompt. Jennifer showed an abundance of caution quoting closing costs - she was careful to include a few "maybes" so we wouldn't be surprised. When bumps in the road came up Jennifer worked through them to ensure we kept moving forward. Best of all Jennifer owned the refi process from start to finish, which was a nice change from Better.com where they move you around and you never know who to talk to about what. So hands down I'm happy and have already recommended Loanlock to my friends. read more

We refinanced with Jennifer in the spring, and at the time, I thought we'd never have a reason to do another 30 year refinance. But, lo and behold, rates somehow went even lower, so we started looking into it again. Knowing from the first experience that Jennifer would make the process easy and smooth, we decided it would be worth it to do a second refi this year, this time with a cash out. Exactly as we expected and remembered from the spring, the entire process was completely painless and well worth it. If anything, Jennifer is arguably *too* responsive - I'm not sure she ever sleeps! She was patient for us while we repeatedly asked for daily updates until we were comfortable with the prevailing rates, and once we locked in, she shepherded us through the process without any issues at all. She answered every question I had, some of which were about what I'm sure were nearly meaningless provisions, almost always in a matter of minutes. When it came time to close, they again sent a notary to our house at a time that was convenient for us, and made sure the notary had everything needed to complete the process perfectly. I've praised Jennifer and LoanLock once already this year, and I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with them again. If you are considering a refinance, I urge you to reach out to Jennifer. You will not regret it. read more

Jennifer Chang Galutera came highly recommended to me when I met her and I can totally see why. I successfully closed a home with a loan that she provided and it was extremely smooth with everything online with easy to use tools. She is easy to work with, her rates were extremely competitive. Jennifer was even working over her vacation to make sure that everything went smooth and it did. Weeks before buying the house that I successfully closed, another seller gave me a tight deadline to close and she made it happen despite it being over the Christmas period. Ultimately it fell through for other reasons related to the house. But Jennifer and her team really made it happen. I strongly recommend Jennifer for your mortgage needs read more

Working with Loan Lock and Jennifer Chang was a great and stress-free experience. Jennifer was informative, efficient but most importantly very patient. This was my first time re-financing my property and I had a lot of questions. She was patient with answering all my questions and she was quick to respond via email or calling me back. I appreciated the fact that she understood I wanted to close quickly and she walked me through each step and let me know where I was in the process. I highly, highly recommend Loan Lock!! read more

Armando got us the lowest rate at the time we refinanced. No other banks were able to beat their rate and he tried his best to keep the closing cost as low as possible, pulling strings where he could for the discounts. I'd recommend going with him if you're looking for a home loan / refinancing. He is also very responsive when you try to contact him via email or phone. read more

I worked with Pati Arigullin in November of 2021 for a refi and she was awesome! Pati was super quick in replying back to emails and answering any questions I had along the way. Also, in all interactions with Pati I always found her to be kind and understanding. You may not equate kind and understanding as qualities you'd generally seek out in a lender but when you're corresponding with them sometimes multiple times a day during the closing process, working with someone who's empathetic, knowledgeable, and who will tell you like it is makes the whole experience easier. Pati's guidance from start to finish including the easy to use document upload platform was very helpful to close on time and get a super low interest rate! Thank you Pati for being a rock star! read more

I came across Jennifer Chang through Online research and applied for my Home mortgage refinance. Jennifer was highly professional, always available and responded to all my emails/calls. Jennifer made sure my loan got closed with in 3 weeks as promised. I highly recommend Jennifer to everyone who is looking for Home mortgage. read more

Pati is hands down the best lender ever! I am so thankful that my agent introduced me to Pati as I could not have asked for a better experience than I had with Pati. She not only held my hand throughout the process and patiently explained everything to me, she went to bat for me to get me the best rate possible and help make what is probably a very unpleasant experience actually enjoyable. I had my first attempted home purchase fall through 2 days prior to closing due to a change in heart from the seller, and Pati was so understanding and supportive and worked extra hard to help me close quickly when I found the home I was meant to buy. Pati is extremely kind, thorough, patient, efficient, knowledgeable and just overall amazing!!! She has my highest recommendation and I will be using her again when I'm ready to buy my second home. read more

Update on my review. The supervisor called me and I continued with my loan app. Everything was perfect afterwards. LoanLock definitely has solid management that cares about its customers. Recommend! read more

My wife and I just worked with Jennifer on a cash-out refinance for home improvements. She came highly recommended, and didn't disappoint. If you get the chance, I strongly recommend her. Throughout each step, Jennifer was very knowledgeable and quick to respond to all our questions. She helped us persevere through a few curve balls during underwriting and appraisal, and worked to move service providers along swiftly to a successful funding. Great experience. read more

The home market in Seattle is competitive so a responsive, efficient lender is crucial. As a first-time home buyer, I was worried I would have to use a local lender, but Jennifer Chang Galutera (and LoanLock) quickly proved otherwise. She helped my partner and I through every part of the home buying process. Each step of the process (the pre-approval, the underwriting, and closing the loan) felt straightforward and simple thanks to Jennifer. Jennifer responded to my many questions at all hours of the day, even when she was on vacation. I feel so thankful to have worked with her, and would recommend her and LoanLock to anyone. She got us a low rate and provided exceptional customer service throughout the entire process. Jennifer also helped my brother buy a home and my sister refinance; they both had the same wonderful experience working with her. Thank you Jennifer for making our first-time home buying experience a great one! read more

Jennifer Chang Galutera handled my loan with the speed and ability I have NEVER seen. She was able to get my loan done in a very short time with no problems.....I will be referring all of my friends who want to refi!! Thank you for the great service and loan!!! read more

Overall I had a good experience. Loan lock and Steph Pulido provided me the lowest rate. Steph was very responsive and checked in frequently. Due to Thanksgiving week and maybe the remote nature of things, there were some delays which could've resulted in some extra fees but Loan Lock, Steph Pulido, and Daniel Devine worked with us to get keep the originally quoted rate without the extra fees. It's great not having to pay PMI anymore and to have a lower monthly mortgage. It took just over a month to get everything done. read more

George Hourani is awesome! I was applying to get a mortgage refinance and the entire process was very quick and smooth. George is very friendly and personable and gets the job done. Highly recommend his services as he is quick to reply and easily accessible by text/call. Thank you George! read more

Ron was very helpful and attentive. I got some money back, a lower rate, and my mortgage dropped by 200 dollars even though I just purchased last year. Highly recommended and would recommend this company for the lowest interest rate anywhere. Talk to Ron, he will guide you every step of the way making this the easiest money you have saved! read more

Worked with Ron Burton, nice job overall. 3rd Refi this year and I've worked with different companies each time in the past: AIM Loan, Better, etc. LoanLock seemed to have the most streamlined system for getting it done. They offer a float down which is cool, and at the time the best rates I could find (although I urge you to get 3-4 bids even if you like a company, pricing changes daily). After the initial doc request they really only need 1 or 2 "extra" pieces of info. Some companies ask you for docs every other day as it passes from person to person. I liked how I ONLY got emails from Ron, unlike other companies which pass you off to 3-4 different people. He was also pretty quick with responses which was cool. Recommend this company read more

Patricia and Loanlock made our dreams come true. I was told by some many lenders that the rate and closing costs they were offering wasn't possible. They also told me that the service would be horrible. All of those statements were absolutely false! Patricia answered every call and email. This deal was complicated as I was closing on one house one day and then another the next. So many issues could have come up if she wasn't on her game - and she was!! Thank you!! I will only use LoanLock and Patricia from now on! read more

Jennifer Chang Galutera was prompt and professional in every communication we had with her. She was always available to help and had no trouble closing quickly for us. The overall experience was seamless and I would gladly work with her again. read more

Jennifer Chang Galutera was great! - great customer service - thorough - answers all answers and elaborates - quick at communication - responds at all hours - NEVER STOPS WORKING! ha! read more

Today is 11/02/20. We started our refi process on 3/10/20 (!) with CashCall. However, we were strung out and strung out and strung out, and were still in limbo when we got LOANLOCK / Jennifer's referral from a very satisfied client who is a friend of ours. As a self-employed small business-owner, there are often more documents needed. Yet Jennifer Chang Galutera was responsive, never left us hanging, got doc requests to us promptly, and was cheerful in her correspondence. She also sent over a top-notch notary who did not let us miss a single signature, nor submit any mistakes. Bottom line, Jennifer funded in about a month! Highly recommend! p.s. We live in Ventura County, and she handled it like we were in the same city. read more

Cody was a true pleasure to work with and a breath of fresh air during a tumultuous sellers market. Having "friends" in the mortgage industry helped in gathering data but didn't help in getting the best possible deal. Cody came in when rates spiked back up, gave us credits, and offered an amazing rate. To make things even better, he was on top of every aspect, communicating with the builders and escrow, ensuring each milestone was met, and kept me up to date the entire way. What started as a stressful buying experience at the start turned out to be an amazing first time home buyer experience. I can't begin to express the gratitude and appreciation our family has Cody. Thank you for the stupendous effort and job well done! read more

We were referred to Bryan at LoanLock by a co-worker to explore refinancing loan options. Bryan was thorough in explaining the different options of terms, rates, interest buy downs, etc to see what made the most sense for our future plans in the home. Everything was smooth using the web portal for uploading and receiving all the documents we needed. We are very pleased and happy to recommend his services to anyone. read more

Thank you so much to Jennifer Chang Galutera, as my selected mortgage lender, who supported me through the entire first time home buyer experience, from the beginning with mortgage pre-approvals (multiple times amid a competitive housing market 2021-2022), all the way through until the end of escrow closure. Despite the extremely slow corporate seller and seller's extremely slow corporate escrow, Jennifer fought hard for me to make sure we closed escrow in time to secure a much lower rate than the market rate. There were so much more Jennifer supported me with that words can not finish describing. Jennifer is extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and most importantly she cares & fights for you as a lender! she is definitely your best lender! I recommend Jennifer to anyone, including myself coming back when I am ready to purchase or refinance again in the future. read more

Did my research and shopped around. Cody was by far the most knowledgeable and attentive lender we talked to. He even had the best quote, so we decided to go with him. Cody made the whole process go smoothly, and was quick to respond with any questions we had. We have done multiple references in the past, and working with Cody was by far the best experience we have ever had. Will be recommending him to everyone we know. read more

I found Steph Pulido and Loanlock via an Instagram ad. After being rejected by three different lenders for a refinance, Steph was the only one who made it happen. This was not easy because we are self-employed, but Steph didn't give up until she found the perfect loan product for us with the best rates and the lowest fees. It's so easy to work with her; she is very prompt to respond and always super helpful. I highly recommend her! read more

Cody was so easy to work with, always available, stayed on top of all of the underwriting needs and was super accommodating to the needs of my wife and I. He was always pleasant, clearly hard working, and also very aware of what needed to get done and by when. We were so impressed with the way he worked, we are committed to working with him on anything we buy in the future! read more

Jennifer Chang Galutera is professional, knowledgeable and very responsive, she made my refinance process so seamless and straightforward, will definitely recommend her to my friends and family, looking forward to working with her again for our next loan. read more

A must deserved 5 star for George Hourani. I have worked with many loan officers before, and George is one of the most honest persons that I was lucky to work with. He processed my loan application so smoothly. After one phone call with him, he provided me all details information and he was able to lock a rate for me which I could not shop anywhere else. It took me sometimes to collect all the paperwork then after submitting the documents the lender required, he took care all the rest. My loan was funded promptly with the best interest rate that nowhere else could give. I definitely recommend that you contact George at Loan Lock if you're looking to purchase a home or refinance of an existing loan. Thank you so much, George, for your outstanding service. I will definitely come back to work with you in near future. Just for a reference, George's direct number is 714-869-2051 read more

Jennifer has done 3 refinances for me and is simply the best there is out there. She is kind, thorough and professional. I've always shopped around to check rates and no one ever beats her rates. I've connected her to friends and highly recommend her. If you're looking for any kind of loan look no further! read more
