STAY AWAY STAY AWAY STAY AWAY FROM MITCH OHLBAUM!!! I cannot stress enough that this is the most incompetent, negligent and unprofessional person I have EVER dealt with. I am a CPA, and he came EXTREMELY highly recommended by a client of mine who uses him for all of her real estate transactions. He "locked" in a great rate for me at 3% on a 15-year fixed refi in early April, 2013. I was ecstatic and extremely thankful. I responded to every single request for documents (and there were many) within hours or one day at the most. Communication, however, was difficult....he, and his cohort Claudia, were incredibly unresponsive, and I'm not a nagging or needy person, I just want to be kept up-to-date. Most texts and emails of mine went unanswered, and when they finally would get around to answering me, it was to ask for another document, and reassure me that all was going well. At one point, after almost two months, Claudia assured me that just one more document was needed, and it would be going to the underwriter next week at which time I would probably close. Then, nothing. More emails, no response. Weeks later, just the other day, he finally calls and tells me he was out of town, and oh, by the way, my lock was broken - Claudia hadn't informed him and he just learned! After 2 1/2 months, and the very week the rates spike on Bernanke's comments. Then more assurances that he was going to take care of it and call me the next morning. Nothing, I send texts asking for updates, no response, finally he says he's working on it and needs more time. Then I send 2 more texts, nothing. Then he texts me the next day saying his VP of Operations will get this resolved by morning's end. Nothing. Then more texts and phone call attempts......NOTHING. FINALLY, Friday evening at 7 PM, a short terse text "Looks like we'll have to reprice your loan Monday"! The inconsiderate nature of these people is mind-boggling, especially when he affirms in the beginning that he was going to personally look after me because I was recommended to him by someone close to him. So how does he treat people he doesn't like??!! Not once has he had the courage or integrity to talk to me straight, to accept responsibility for bungling the whole thing, for showing any sort of remorse or understanding that his incompetence and lies will cost me upwards of $30K, and if I don't qualify for a 15-year because of the rate hike, an additional $250-300K! There is not one single promise Mitch or Claudia have made that they have kept, NOT ONE! Go to these people at your own risk and only if you enjoy being scammed, ignored, lied to, and taken advantage of. read more

My 1st call when I have a new clients is to Mitch! There is no mortgage broker I trust more to not only handle the transaction at hand, but to do it in a professional, friendly, timely and easy to understand manner. Each client has different needs and Mitch takes the time and care to understand them as individuals. Some require more time, some less, some need detailed explanations, others just want to know "where to sign"....whatever my clients characteristics, Mitch takes care of them all. As a top Realtor in Los Angeles if I refer a client to a mortgage broker and my client is unhappy - I will lose that business. Mitch is a clear reflection on me and how I conduct my own business. I trust him explicitly to provide the best, all-around service to my clients. He exceeds my expectations every time. Mitch will even follow up with my clients years down the road as he realizes they are his clients too. This is very appreciated! I have many mortgage brokers that constantly try and get my business, but no one compares to Mitch! read more

I am a realtor and I have worked with Chris Rahn on many transactions. He provides a great service to the buyer and to the buyers agent. Chris does everything possible to ensure the transaction closes. On our last transaction we needed IRS documents in order to close on time and the only option was to wait in line at the IRS office. The buyer did not have time in his busy work schedule to wait in line for hours. Chris took it upon himself to get in line at 6am and hold a spot for the buyer. The buyer arrived at 10am and Chris was almost to the front of the line. The buyer was able to get the required documents and thanks to Chris the buyer did not have to wait for hours. I highly recommend Chris Rahn and Macoy Capital to Realtors and borrowers. read more

I referred a few clients to Chris Rahn at Macoy Capital, and I plan to continue referring business to Macoy Capital. The company has a wide variety of loan options to accommodate the most complex buyers/borrowers as well as straightforward situations. Chris makes himself available to my clients even when he is very busy. He explains details and follows up with my clients regularly. I know I can always count on Chris to oversee the loan process and ultimately get the deal closed. In the past 10 years I have worked with several loan officers, and Chris is one of the most professional and knowledgeable loan agents I have dealt with. read more

I have worked with Mitch and Chris on a number of deals and I have been very impressed with their professionalism and personalized approach to every client.

In addition, Katie has been tremendous when processing loans, willing to drive documents to my client's house for signing when it was otherwise difficult for them to send back. As a real estate agent, I take my financing referrals very seriously and I continue to trust the service, support and advice of the Macoy team. read more

They are a local niche' private lender in the heart of Beverly Hills, which made meeting with them easy and convenient. Thank you, Mitch and Dave for all of your hard work!! read more
