I had such a great experience working with Megan Sfara, and her assistant Reanna Walls, doing a refinance on my condo in San Francisco. Thanks to their great follow-ups, they helped me get all the correct documentation and worked with the lender even though I had just signed an offer letter on a new job after freelancing during the heart of the pandemic. They were very informative during the entire refi process which made me confident in my decisions. I am grateful, not only for the GREAT rate Megan was able to secure but for her and Reanna's attention to detail and SPEED of closing! I will definitely be reaching back out to Megan with any future loan needs! read more

I've done 2 refi's with Megan and I've had a great experience both times, she was able to get us great rates and exactly what we asked for, very prompt and professional service, she even gave me good advice on how much of the refi costs to pay out of pocket, and how much to role into the new loan. Every step of the process was clearly explained and our options were given to us, the figures were all highlighted and transparent as well so you get a good handle on what's going on, and there were no surprises, above and beyond service, if you need some help with your finances she can help you, even if just to advise you. Thank you again Megan! read more

Long on Promises, Short on delivery! I decided to go with Megan because she great reviews and she offered a very competitive rate. After $950 spent on appraisal and almost two months of going through the process, she came back and said that the lender is not willing to make a loan based on the fact that one of the loans was modified 3 years ago, the requirement is 4 years, and I didn't disclose it to her. So in other words she blamed me for the fact that she failed to ask questions and investigate. There is no way for me to know what requirements her lenders have, its her job. The underwriter in question was confused and couldn't really explain their reasoning for 4 years as there is no such requirement, Fannie and Freddie require only 2 years. So Megan decided to attack me and call me a liar for not disclosing something that there is no reason for a person to think is relevant. Good luck dealing with her, if it doesn't go the way she expects, she'll put the blame for her failings on you. Towards the end Megan proved to be a liar and bully, constantly twisting the truth to fit her purpose and sending emails that high schoolers might send when they feel slighted. Here is a sampling of her emails: On Fri, May 28, 2021 at 12:18 PM Megan Sfara wrote: And you are DECLINED.   Good bye!!!!! On Fri, May 28, 2021 at 2:19 PM Megan Sfara wrote: This is actually humorous.   Your one little tiny opinion means 0.    You are a proven strategic maneuver of avoiding paying mortgage debts.  No one in the lending world will like you. Please don't buy into her professional-sounding response, she is the opposite of that. read more

Megan Sfara and her assistant Reanna Walls went above and beyond during our refinance process. We have lived in our home over 30 years and have had some negative experiences along the way. Not only are they fast and efficient and knowledgeable, most importantly to us is they're very informative during the refinance process and made our experience a positive one. It was a pleasure to work with them! We highly recommend Megan and her team for any of your mortgage needs. Thank you Megan and Reanna! read more

Megan is expert and proficient in her field. Responds very well, and very detail oriented and organized in her communications. Megan is professional and our financing process moved seamlessly. Her experiences and skills helped us to get our information together fast with no guesswork. Everything was done right enabling the whole process to be completed successfully. With that being said, Megan loves her work and passion for it. She works in unmeasured time beyond her normal banking hours (9am to 5p). To you Megan, please continue to promise yourself to take care so that you continue to extend to help with your expertise. Thank you Megan, see you next time. read more

I never would have thought I would use Yelp to find a mortgage broker in hopes of buying another house. I guess in a way I now use Yelp for pretty much everything and typically find the best places to eat, drink, visit and yes even buy a house. I reached out to Megan a few weeks ago to set up an appointment and she responded almost immediately. I was very pleased with the entire process and how quickly she was able to get us pre approved based on all the information that was requested. Buying a house can be a long drawn out process and that's why it's so critical for me to work with the right person. We definitely found that with Megan and Commerce Mortgage. While we are nowhere near finalizing anything it gives me peace of mind that it is all headed in the right direction. If you are looking to purchase a home in the bay I strongly recommend reaching out to Megan for more information! read more

Megan is such a competent loan broker. Megan has refinanced my home loan four times in the last ten years. Not only is my loan a 30-year loan at 3.625%, but Megan had the foresight to have us open up a HELOC (which is at 3.25%) even though we didn't need it a year before the economic collapse. I am not saying that Megan has a crystal ball, but when a good loan program is available she will call you and attempt to have you benefit. Unlike many loan officers, Megan promptly calls/emails you back, she doesn't ask you to send the same document multiple times, and she's been doing this long enough to know the latest lending requirements--i.e. 80/10/10, etc. read more

Megan Sfara - Megan Sfara Sherman - Mortgage Brokers Near Me - Los Gatos, California

A+ for Megan as a Mortgage broker. I generally don't write reviews, but I really wanted to in this case. Megan has done 2 purchase loans and a ref for me in the past 9 months. She is extremely knowledgeable and extremely responsive. For all my deals, whenever I called (which was quite often), she always picked up immediately or called back within minutes. She is totally "on top of it" at all times. I was very confident in her abilities to get the job done efficiently and well. My last purchase deal almost fell through due to the HOA I was dealing with that couldn't get their act together. Megan went above and beyond to get them on track. She relentlessly continued to put pressure on them until they finally complied with our requests. I was on a time pressure due to income tax issues. If this deal fell through, it would have cost me a lot of money. Megan totally came through for me. She was in my corner fighting for me. She has won me over as a permanent client. I plan on doing a couple of refis with her in the near future. read more

Megan was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly responsive, always on top of everything, and made us feel like she was singularly focused on our case (even though she must have had other clients as well). Our situation was unique and Megan found a mortgage program that fit our needs perfectly, led us through the entire process with ease, and made sure that our nerves were at ease. Home buying has so many sources of stress; it was great to have Megan on our side to shield us from one of the major sources: getting your mortgage. I would highly recommend her and will be recommending her to my friends as well. read more

Megan has handled the financing for two of my real estate purchases and one refinance. She is great. You want to things from a Mortgage broker. First, a good rate. Megan has always provided this but lots of other people do as well. Second, and more rare, is someone who will relentlessly work to make sure the deal is financed on time. This is where Megan really shines. She knows how to work the internals of her company, deal with appraisers, and to get results and she will put in whatever hustle is needed to make the deal happen. Super highly recommended. read more

Megan was fantastic! We really loved how quickly she responded to each of our many questions about refinancing our home, and how eloquently she handled the entire process. We highly recommend her to anyone needing financing options....you won't be disappointed! read more

Megan was highly recommended to us by our financial advisor and boy did she come through! My wife and I are very happy with the whole experience while working with her. We had a complicated financial past and we had given up on the idea that we could pre-qualify to buy a house. But Megan was incredibly helpful in helping us gather all the financial documents that pre-qualified us and eventually landed us with a mortgage loan on our new house. And throughout the whole process she was readily available to make sure we were informed about what was happening. Megan always made us feel like we had her on our side as we tried to close the deal on our new house. I would second my financial advisor in recommending Megan to help anyone who needs a home mortgage. It was a pleasure working with her! Thanks Megan! read more

My wife and I are the first time home buyer. Megan helped us nail the mortgage without any problem. She is very professional, easy to communicate and very responsive and proactive. I rarely review on Yelp, but I will definitely rate Megan a five star. When we first shop for brokers, some said we have the visa issue, some said we can not get the jumbo loan, but Megan is very confident in the first place. And the reason she is confident is that she prepares everything you can think of for you, and do things in advance. As first time home buyers, we have a lot of questions and sometime very anxious when the closing date is close. She always answers question in detail and makes you feel calm. And she can do things effortlessly even when time is tight sometimes. I'll definitely recommend her to everyone! read more

My experience was fantastic. Megan Sfara was so helpful, every step of the way she guided and gave insight to the process. Most helpful was that she kept me on track with all the required documents. I highly recommend Megan, she has the proper knowledge and experience to get you what you need at the best rates available. Thank you Megan. read more

Megan is an amazing mortgage broker and has been a great resource for my wife and I over the past several years. She's helped us secure and close loans and refis at great rates about a half dozen times! While the process used to be a lot easier for borrowers when we first began working with Megan, she's always strived to ease the pain and cumbersome nature of the process as new and tighter requirements started being put into place by the underwriters. Megan has always seen us thorough to the finish line and has offered some creative and effective solutions to meet our objectives. She's our go-to mortgage professional, and I highly recommend her to others. read more

Megan, she is a great person that you can depend on when you need your loan to be done. My experienced with 2 loans that i did with her in the past, all went smooth. And recently, we are about close another loan soon. She very legit. read more

Megan just finished up a refi for us and everything was great. We had some issues with a merchant dinging my credit score due to a mistake in payment and she helped me get it fixed so we could get my score bumped back up to qualify for the new loan. Super easy to work with and a great communicator. I highly recommend Megan! read more

Megan is very knowledgeable, professional, and she took care of my loan quickly and smoothly. I have recommended her to some of my friends who are looking for a loan as well. Her associates proved to be equally friendly and helpful. I am very satisfied with the whole experience. read more

Megan has been my go-to mortgage broker on several of my deals over the years, both purchase and refis. She does a fantastic job and comes through every time. I can't say enough about how easy she is to work with, her professionalism, prompt communications, and overall service. You can't ask for a better business partner. read more

When we signed the sales contract on our house, we only had 25 days to complete the closing. Megan did a great job staying ahead of things and letting us know what documents were required by when. In the end we were able to close a day early with no problems. I highly recommend working with Megan. read more

I contacted Megan because her Yelp ratings were very favorable. My experiences with her were not favorable. In all fairness, my case was not simple and I do believe that initially, she tried to help me. However, her follow-through was very poor as she never provided the pre-approval letter that I requested on 3 different occasions. Megan didn't seem to have the time to provide the attentive care that she has been praised for. In addition, I specifically asked that my credit report be pulled using my mailing address and not my physical address, she used my physical address. read more

I wish there were more than 5 stars to give. Megan is nothing short of a miracle worker! Having just moved from France with a Frenchman with no credit history in the US, we shopped around and were told that it could take 1yr+ for us to qualify for a loan. Then we found Megan. Not only was she able to get us a conventional loan (with little to no credit history), she was able to get it all done in less than 30days! She is incredibly reactive and communicative with the perfect amount of professionalism while being casual and personable. Let Megan work her magic for you! Thank you so much Megan for making it all happen and so quickly!!! read more

Megan and her team were amazing. I refinanced my home with Commerce from 6,000 miles away. She took care of everything and made good decisions on her own without asking me. She was uber responsive even while she was on vacation. I highly recommend her and her team. read more

Megan has handled multiple purchase and refi transactions for me over the years throughout the bay area. Her rates are competitive. She has detailed knowledge of multiple loan products, follows the movement of the market, and works hard to make the process as efficient and easy as possible. She kept me updated throughout so there were not surprises. When the occasional hiccup does occur, she is creative and solution-oriented to get it resolved and get the transaction closed. I highly recommend working with her. read more

Megan is an outstanding individual that help us with our refinance situation. Never have I experienced any loan officer as efficient and caring as her. Very good communicator, always keeping you on the loop, works hard for you. I had gone thru other lenders, however I was treated as if I was way too much work for them to bother with, not with Megan, from day she was always attentive to any question or concerns we may had. I found her on Yelp, and everything that everyone has said about her is true. I will never go anywhere else for any loans. read more

We love Megan! She is now the mortgage broker that we trust above all others. After going through the purchase / refinance of our home and an investment property in the Bay Area with several other brokers, we believe she truly is the most honest and professional broker in town. Her strengths include: being straight forward with what is available for your circumstances and financial strategy, respectful, professional, savvy, and best yet - she is super responsive even when she is on vacation in Spain! She calls when she says she will, and delivers what she is committed to delivering in a timely manner. She is a trusty financial partner that works hard to get you the best financing possible. I recommend Megan Sfara wholeheartedly and without any reservation. read more

We found Megan on yelp and since she had great reviews, we decided to call her. So glad we did. She was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout our home refinance. I would highly recommend her! read more

Megan recently helped me with refinancing of my home mortgage. The process was longer and more difficult than expected. It took almost 3 months to close because the first lender of our choice denied my loan application due to the owner occupancy ratio in my condo complex. It was very frustrating since this was not something that I have control over. But Megan quickly found the best alternative lender for me. She communicated well with me throughout the whole process and gave me confidence that it would be well taken care of. She tried very hard to make this process as easy as possible. She is very professional and responsive. She follows through till everything is completely done. It was my third time doing business with her and she again did a superb job. Thank you Megan! read more

Megan came highly recommended to me several years ago when I was looking to refi. She has since brokered loans for me three times and I can say she is a dream to deal with. She responded to my initial inquiry within a couple of hours with multiple options, competitive rates and sound advice. She was always on top of every aspect of the process. She even remembered my house was in my trust from a previous refi a couple of years ago and made sure that paperwork was included. She is highly knowledgeable, efficient, pleasant, and quick. I have referred family members to her and they were thrilled with her work and expertise as well. I cannot recommend her more. read more

We found Megan Sfara on Yelp so thanks to the other reviewers for calling out how great she is. It's all true. Megan and her team helped us refinance our home in record time and they were smart, professional, organized, efficient and accommodating - all while getting us the best rate possible. Wonderful experience and would use her all over again if we needed to. read more

Megan did a really great job in working with all parties to coordinate the financing on my real estate transaction in San Francisco in 2013. I was new to the Bay area in 2008 and I had used several other mortgage professionals in the past, in other states, and I must say, I really think Megan does a great job on taking the logistical pressures off the buyer and really stays on top of the details of the transactions through close. Further, I really appreciated the fact that Megan has a lot of experience and both conventional and other products and is really creative to get the job done. To sum it up, Megan has her "xxxx" together...when she asks you to provide information it is a detailed request and is a complete request so that there isn't tons of random follow-up questions and information request. Really enjoyed working with her and would do so again and would refer her to family and friends. read more
