My family had multiple negative experiences with this "company" while they were our mortgage…read morelender. They threatened us within the first month of us being with them. They repeatedly would tell us they would fix something only for it to not be fixed. One specific instance with them happened in the last year plus. When we refinanced our mortgage, the title company sent in the wire transfer for the payoff. We received the receipts confirming the wire transfer was sent and everything was fine. A few days later Essex was telling us a different story. They claimed the payoff was sent in late and was not processed until a few days later into the next month. We find out about this a week later via our bank's credit report alerts. When we called Essex to find out what happened, they claimed multiple things. We didn't send in the payment on time, the title company messed up, and finally our payment was flagged for "domestic terrorism." Each of these claims were easily disputed with facts and receipts, except the domestic terrorism claim. It took us a year to finally get in contact with the government agencies to dispute this one. Each claim Essex made was false and ultimately a lie. The government agencies laughed and said that Essex's claim was bogus. Essex was ultimately trying to cover up a mistake they had made before a holiday weekend. Upon Essex, and the government, confirming our payment was submitted on time, Essex claimed to submit a manual credit fix on their end and told me they would fix it. They did not. 2 months later, I called again to get them to fix this and they claimed it would be fixed at the beginning of the next month. It was not. In the 2-3 years we had Essex, it was filled with stress, lies, incompetence, and repeatedly blaming us for their mistakes. Believe the negative reviews you hear and question the validity of the positive ones.

I thought I would never end up buying a house...so when I found my dream home just randomly driving…read moreby one day, I realized I didn't have any knowledge of how the process work. While my parents introduced me to a family friend who was a real estate agent, I had no idea how to go about finding a loan officer! After digging through Yelp/Google, I stumbled upon Meridox Mortgage that had stellar reviews and took a chance. I called Meridox and was put in touch with Trung Tran. I let him know that I didn't have any knowledge of how the house-buying process works, but he was incredibly supportive and assured me he would walk me through every step. Shortly after we finished talking on the phone, he sent me a list of items to provide for the pre-approval letter. Trung's turnaround was quick. I sent him my information in the evening and got the letter the next morning. My real estate agent used this letter to draft the offer...it was accepted! After my offer was accepted, the rest of the process was somewhat nebulous, but my real estate agent worked closely with Trung to help me through. Trung was with me every step of the way. He patiently explained how my monthly mortgage payment and closing costs were calculated and even helped me negotiate a home insurance offer. He even kept a close eye on the market and advised me when I should lock in the rate. I thought home buying would be more stressful, but it wasn't as bad as I thought because Trung made every step clear and was very on top of deadlines. From pre-approval to loan closing, it took just one month! Thank you Trung for being so diligent and patient in helping me secure my dream home! Trung was also very proactive in reaching out to me a few months later when interest rates dropped by about 1%. I had the honor of working with Trung again for my refinance, and it was also efficient and painless! I recommended Trung to my coworker recently when she was looking to buy a condo. Highly recommended to anyone who is in a market for a house to look into Meridox!! Thanks again for your hard work, Trung!!!

I cannot recommend them enough. Linh is an amazing service provider, and she will meet you at your…read morelevel. A little background: I did 2 house purchases, and 1 house sale by myself without a realtor before engaging Meridox. I didn't need handholding, because I was not a first-time buyer. I wanted an advisor who can give me an honest opinion as to pricing, knows the neighborhoods, and can negotiate with the seller's agent. Linh was so on top of things. She understood that I was busy and scheduled multiple showings for me on weekends. She mapped out our route, so we can be efficient with time. She never asked me to consider any property that was outside my price range or not what I was looking for. I was able to knock out many home viewings with her, and we put in a couple of offers. I saw a house that fell out of escrow. I messaged her, and she was immediately on it. She showed me the house, called the seller's agent, and basically convinced the seller to take my offer that was a tad below listing that either that same day or the next. (OC is a hot market, so this was an incredible deal! My other offers all sold above listing.) She was incredibly responsive, super sharp, and very easy to work with. I used Meridox as my mortgage broker as well and used them again to refinance a year later. Very seamless and easy transaction. Forget all the agents who claim to "treat you like family." Choose Meridox: the true professionals.
