I was so happy to have discovered and met Kent as a professional loan agent. Unlike numerous other…read moreloan agents who were rarely available and did not give me any of their time to discuss loan options, Kent took the time to explain the details and options available to me to finance a home I really hoped to own and urgently needed funding to close the deal.

Julie was professional, responsive, and on top of everything throughout the entire transaction. Communication between lending and escrow was excellent, and whenever we needed an update or had a question, she was quick to respond and kept everything moving forward. As an Escrow Officer, I truly appreciate working with a lender who understands the importance of communication, timing, and teamwork. Having a lending partner who stays engaged and works closely with escrow makes such a difference in getting everyone to a smooth and successful closing.

I trusted Jack enough to defer to his guidance/suggestions on selling strategy. Trusting the expert is what helped me get this house sold at a profit in less than 45 days on the market. My home was very difficult to sell due to some repairs that would be needed and the aesthetic. Jack was able to get 2 offers in less than 30 days and think of a creative solution to make the deal work. A lot of realtors can do the showings and be friendly. However, not as many can come through when it's not the perfect property to sell. He did a great job in setting a strategy, pricing, and good reputation with other realtors. He is my go to realtor and I would 100% recommend him.

Review for Sierra Capital Mortgage - Linda Wilcox…read more We recently worked with Linda Wilcox at Sierra Capital Mortgage and I can't say enough great things about her. From the very beginning of our home search, Linda was incredibly kind, empathetic, and genuinely invested in our success. Throughout a very competitive buying environment, she was consistently responsive, patient, and creative in exploring every possible solution. I truly believe that we were able to secure our townhome in Sierra Madre because of her willingness to think outside the box and advocate for us proactively. Linda not only guided us through each step with clarity and care, but she also truly understood the emotional and financial weight of the decisions we were making. Her combination of professional expertise and human kindness made all the difference. I would highly recommend Linda and Sierra Capital Mortgage to anyone looking for a partner in the home buying process. She helped make what could have been an overwhelming experience feel hopeful and achievable--and we're so grateful.

As an escrow officer locally for over 40 years, of every mortgage broker my mom ever worked with (& she worked with a ton!) she was most impressed by Loanda.

It's no surprise Sierra Capital has been voted Best/Reader Recommended Mortgage Broker by Pasadena Weekly for the last 11 years straight, 2013-2024. Wishing you continued success, Loanda & Rolend!
