She kept things moving, got us a great interest rate and allayed any concerns by working with us. Her response time and attention were so good that if we didn't know better we would think we were her only clients! Dylan was also very professional and great to work with. I want to reiterate this was the best mortgage loan process we have ever been a part of. Highly recommend Agave Home Loans.

ZERO STARS IS MORE ACCURATE I am writing this to warn…read moreothers about the incredibly poor experience I had with Agave Mortgage Brokers. Their performance throughout the entire process was utterly pathetic. They seemingly cannot read basic financial documents--specifically Shareworks statements. They saw and requested the exact same documents on over 10 separate occasions. Then, finally, on the 11th time, they actually decided to look at them and ask questions about the accounts and statements. This absolute incompetence caused a massive, last-minute pivot and wasted 2 entire months of my time just to get to that point. Combined with horrible communication along the way, it was an incredibly stressful and unprofessional experience. Save yourself the headache and take your business to a broker that actually values your time, communicates transparently, and knows how to review basic paperwork. Avoid them at all costs.

We've always had great service with Desert Financial. In the past they've bent over backwards to…read morework with us and we had had no issues to report. However we recently purchased a new vehicle and they gave us a 30 day window for our interest rate on the loan while we worked with the dealership to finalize. Despite remaining within the 30 day window, when we called back to inquire about financing with them, they told us they closed our file but acknowledged we were still a couple of days within their timeframe. Because they would need to run our credit again, we are going with someone else. I'm unsure which location Mike McGuire works out of, but he was particularly helpful and courteous, despite Desert Financial dropping the ball.

Desert Financial treated me like a mobster would treat someone who owes them money…read more I owe roughly $2,000, and I understand that I am responsible for the debt. But I already gave Desert Financial $997 -- essentially my entire Social Security check -- toward what I owed them. Despite that, they reported me to ChexSystems, and now I'm having a very difficult time opening a checking account anywhere else. This is what makes me extremely angry. I'm not saying I don't owe the money. I'm saying there should be a reasonable and humane way to resolve a $2,000 debt without making it difficult for someone to access basic banking services. The way Desert Financial handled this feels less like a credit union working with a member and more like mobsters collecting a debt: pay us, or we'll make your financial life miserable. I will remember this experience for a very long time, and I hope other people think carefully about how this credit union handles members when they fall behind. $2,000 does not justify treating a person like a criminal.

They use high pressure sales tactics to convince you they're giving you the best deal when the jig is up, and will feed you many things they think you want to hear just to agree to what they're offering. When we began the preapproval process with them, we only ever talked about a single DPA program where the down payment is forgiven. Never once were any other options discussed or offered, and our preapproval paperwork was for the primary loan only. Once we were under contract we found out that they had actually gotten us a high interest second loan for the downpayment- NOT what had in mind. They proceeded to go back and forth on several things, including whether or not my interest rate was locked, what the interest rate would actually be, price of closing costs, etc. Never was anything straight forward. I was continually asked to sign paperwork that was significantly different than what my LO was telling me my loan would look like, and that it would be changed later. They advertise as a no fee lender, but they either add in a $5000 broker fee to closing costs OR 1.5% on your loan (which equates to tens of thousands of dollars). Worst was, when I found another lender, I was subject to high pressure sales techniques sprinkled with contradictions and blatant inaccuracies. I'll spare you the detail, but I cannot not even tell you how many misrepresentations, coercions, and outright lies were used in my dealings here. Again, I thought my LO was a nice person and probably just trying to make it. However, this company is predatory. Don't walk, run. At the very least, do your OWN research, be skeptical and ask for ALL the details every step of the way, and compare your options with another lender. Once I worked with another lender I realized how straightforward and matter of fact they were, I realized how much stress trying to work with this lender was.

Even with a few bumps in the road (not from their doing), they were still able to blow timelines outta the park. I recommend them highly to all friends and family members!

I first spoke wth Kimmer O'Brien about arranging a $900,000 bridge loan in order to buy a smaller…read more home before I sold my $1.5M home. I had been contacted by several lenders, but when the going got rough Kimmer stuck with me. I retired 20 years ago. My home has been paid for for many years, and I do not owe anyone anything. I pay cash for things like new cars ($50,000) and have a good retirement investment amount. I do not trade stocks as I carefully selected my portfolio, (bonds and stock mutuals), and they have served me well. So I was shocked when I received my "fair" credit report from only one of the three credit agencies. The others would not report as I did not have enough open accounts! I expressed my frustration to Kimmer who has now helped me get it sorted out with the three agencies. As we were getting it straightened out, my son, an ex-pro football player who just sold his Fortune 500 company found out my situation and wired me $1M to buy the house with no interest. Kimmer gave me a lot of help at a time it would have been easier to just walk away from it as the others had. I respect Kimmer greatly as he is certainly a man of integrity.

We are 84 and 75 with no children to inherit. In our home since 1986 with a ton of equity just sitting there. I called Federal First Lending and got a recording, so I hung up, leaving no message. In just a few minutes, a nice young man called our number and said he had had a hang up on his line, he introduced himself and offered to help us. That was the beginning of our relationship with Taylor Coulton and Federal First Lending. They are a small mortgage brokerage firm, but extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant to do business with. I did a fair amount of research prior to calling them about a Reverse Mortgage, but they made sure I knew all of the ins and outs of the Reverse Mortgage rules. We completed our Counseling Program, Real Estate Appraisal, and Loan Approval process in 3 weeks and we closed on our Reverse MTG. We are in Florida and they are in AZ, we signed some papers on line and some, a mobile notary came to our home for us to sign. We can now plan for big expenditures, like a roof and new windows with out going into debt on our fixed income. Taylor has changed our lives and we are so grateful to him. Best wishes to you, your fiancee and business partner. We know you will be extremely successful! Kindest regards!

Exceptional Service - Nina Made the Process Seamless!…read moreWorking with Nina Francini, my Loan Partner and primary contact at Griffin Funding, was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. I was applying for and closing on a DSCR loan for one of my investment properties, and she truly went above and beyond to make the deal happen. Nina was consistently responsive, polite, highly qualified, and exceptionally conscientious about every detail of her work. Anyone who has applied for a loan knows how arduous and overwhelming the endless requests for paperwork can be, but Nina kept the entire process structured and manageable. What stood out to me most was her problem-solving mindset. Whenever a bump in the road came up, she didn't take the easy way out--she actively found real solutions to keep everything moving forward to a smooth closing. Great job, Nina! If you're an real estate investor working with Griffin Funding, you couldn't be in better hands. Highly recommended!
