Pamela is patient, knowledgeable, organized, and passionate about her job. She always went above and beyond to make sure my husband and I understood the process. Pamela was always one step ahead and not only did her job, but ensured that the other parties involved in the process where on top of everything as well. She wasn't just our lender but our friend too. Words truly can't express how amazing she is and we wouldn't not have made it through this process without her.

13-14 years ago my wife and I were buying a home and I was referred to Jason by my broker, before I…read moregot into the business. At the time, young and trying to understand too many things about the home buying process, we heavily relied on Jason's experience. My wife and I had quickly realized that Jason was providing an "above and beyond" service to us, got us a great rate, translated lending into common terms and he got the deal closed. We saved and really enjoyed working with him. At that time I pledged, that when I get into the business, he will be my lender. 1-2 years later I got my Broker's License and Jason has done over 100 loans for our clients and friends. Good guy that knows his stuff, and works hard to make it happen. In this industry its not the easy deals that show you off, its how you solve problems when things get tricky. He has never disappointed, and I highly recommend him.

None of that was Jason's fault. By phone or email, he was reliably easy to correspond with and communicated thoroughly without being inundating. His thinking several steps ahead in the loan process proved a great source of relief. Before prequalification for the co-op I eventually purchased, he ensured I understood the nuances of co-ops versus condos and, given a heftier-than-standard down payment, impressed upon me a liberal closing cost estimate before proceeding. He answered all emails/phone calls within a day, with the majority answered in a half hour or less no matter when contacted.

It also turns out he's the office manager, so there was no way, unfortunately, to avoid him being part of any of the transactions. He was even very unethical in making a concessions offer to the interested buyer without consulting us first! He's arrogant and doesn't know how to promptly communicate updates to us. Thankfully, our real estate attorney, Dale Hauser from Urban & Burt was very professional and on-the-ball with every bit of this sale. If we could have chosen who received the commission from the sale of our house, it would have gone to our real estate attorney as he did all of the work. At closing, our real estate attorney, once again, came through for us. The Z-Team didn't even bother to show up or even call to give instructions/directions on their part of the closing process. Our attorney had to call them and their response was to just put the check in the mail. Very poor experience as a whole. And, I definitely would NOT recommend them to anyone.

My fiancee and I were not only on the house hunt, but also a realtor and mortgage consultant hunt…read more We were given Estela Flores' contact information after she was highly recommended to us by a friend. Since we were first-time home buyers, she set up a pre-qualification meeting to get to know us better. During this time, she patiently explained and familiarized us with the different mortgage loans options available, how the loan approval process works, what forms and paperwork were necessary, and tips on how to improve our credit scores. She knew everything inside and out after working in the mortgage industry for nearly twenty years. Once the first "big day" arrived (placing an offer), Estela was available to us for any questions via the phone, email and text. She was always easily within reach. Since we were buying and requiring an FHA loan, we feared and dreaded the process with the idea that it would take forever with such little time before the closing date. Estela's employer, Platinum Home Mortgage Corp., was extremely fast in getting all of the necessary work done for our building to become FHA approved and have our loan processed. Estela is now a great friend and I highly recommend her to anyone who is need of a mortgage consultant.
