Steve Lopez at Clear Mortgage Capital caught my attention because he advertises lower rates…read more Unfortunately, that turned out to be misleading, as there was no follow-through once I actually engaged him. After I sent him my financial documents to get pre-qualified for a property I was submitting an offer on, he stopped responding. I followed up multiple times by email, text, and phone. When he did respond, he repeatedly said he would call me back, but he never did -- this happened twice. Because of this lack of follow-through, I lost the opportunity to move forward on a triplex I was trying to purchase. He only reached out again after I contacted one of his colleagues. When I later called him back, he again said he would call me in a few minutes and never did. At that point, I stopped reaching out because none of his promises were kept. This experience was extremely frustrating and unprofessional, and it cost me a real opportunity to purchase a property. I will not be using this lender for any future transactions.

From our very first call, we were extremely impressed with her knowledge and professionalism. She took the time to truly get to know us and understand our homebuying goals. As first-time homebuyers, the process was entirely new and, at times, overwhelming. However, Mina has a calming and reassuring presence that helped alleviate many of our concerns. She was able to help us close on a very tight timeline, which made our offer stand out. She also turned around mortgage scenarios quickly for multiple properties we were interested in, with varying financing options--sometimes even multiple times in a single day. Every time we spoke with her, she was transparent about the process and clearly communicated next steps. Thanks to her diligence, she was able to lock in our rate just before they increased significantly, which we are very grateful for. She was always available when we needed her, and we truly could not have asked for a better lending partner. We look forward to maintaining our relationship in the years ahead as we settle into our new home.

Nicholas was super quick with everything and didn't waste time going back and forth.

Overall just a really solid experience. If you're going through a loan and want people who are responsive and actually make things easier, I'd definitely recommend them.

​Caution: Non-Standard "Teaser" Rates & Bait-and-Switch Tactics…read more​I had a very concerning experience with Optimum First Mortgage. I was initially quoted a highly specific interest rate of 5.123% (a non-standard figure in this industry). Based on this quote, I submitted my sensitive financial documents and authorized a hard credit pull. ​Once they had my data, the rate was significantly increased. When I questioned this, the Sales Manager (James) admitted in writing that the original quote was based on "incorrect input assumptions" and was a "human error." This feels like a classic bait-and-switch: lure the borrower in with an unrealistic rate to harvest their data and credit authorization, then claim "clerical error" to move the price. ​I have officially withdrawn my application and filed formal complaints with the CFPB and the California DFPI regarding these deceptive practices. If you are shopping here, be extremely wary of any quote that seems too good to be true--it likely is. UPDATE TO RESPONSE: Nice try shifting the blame. The data I provided didn't change, but your numbers did. You provided a correct quote, then dangled a fake 5.123% rate to get me to apply, then 'switched' back to the higher rate after harvesting my data. Your Sales Manager already admitted the error was on YOUR end, yet here you are publicly blaming me. This is exactly why I've filed formal complaints with federal and state regulators (CFPB and DFPI). Prospective borrowers: if they quote you a weird number like 5.123%, run. They are just 'capturing the lead' with a rate that doesn't exist.

When I gave them the case number and asked to speak with someone higher up, they just say my case has been transferred to an expert to resolve without providing any further info. Weeks go by before my mortgage broker finally called his contact at Kind and things seem like it was getting resolved. Then I receive a correspondence that they were transferring my loan to the first lender they transferred to but it should have been the 2nd one, the correct one. Here we are, good 4 months later...
