My husband and I recently bought our first home, and we truly couldn't have done it without the…read moreincredible team at the Greenhouse Group. Our realtor, Craig, was amazing from start to finish. He helped us search for the right place and offered thoughtful, honest advice throughout the entire process. One thing we really appreciated was that we never once felt pressured to make a quick decision. Craig genuinely wanted us to find a home that we loved and that he himself would feel comfortable living in. He was also extremely diligent during the home inspection process, which gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind. Craig went above and beyond in ways we never expected. He even took the time to make a YouTube video for my husband to show him how to handle a few DIY things around the house. On top of that, he had several hour-plus phone calls with my husband just to walk through the escrow process in detail and make sure we truly understood everything that was happening. That level of patience and dedication meant a lot to us. At one point Craig had even injured his foot, and despite that he still showed up to help us view homes. That kind of commitment really says a lot about the kind of person he is. We also want to give a huge shoutout to Jeremy, our mortgage officer. Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you can make, and Jeremy did an incredible job walking us through everything step by step. Our loan situation was a bit complicated in the beginning, but Jeremy gave us solid advice and helped us get to where we needed to be in less than a year. He always made sure we understood the financial side of things and felt comfortable with the decisions we were making. Jeremy also showed us that having a strong relationship with lenders and simply being a genuinely good, personable person who's easy to talk to can make a huge difference in getting a loan approved. On top of all his professional accolades and knowledge, he's someone who is approachable and easy to communicate with, which is honestly a rare quality and something that made this whole process so much smoother for us. What really stood out to us about this team is that they're not just a realtor group. They're a group of people who ended up becoming our friends throughout this journey. They made it clear that if we ever have questions down the road, they'll always be available to help, no matter how long it's been since we bought our home. That kind of long-term support means a lot. Overall, the entire team was incredibly helpful, communicative, and trustworthy. We always felt like they were truly in our corner. The constant communication between everyone meant we never went a day wondering where we were in the process. Even though we know they work with many clients, they made us feel like we were their only ones. We're so grateful for their support and guidance during such an important milestone in our lives. And when the time comes for us to buy or sell again in the future, there's no question -- this is the team we'll be working with.

I didn't end up originating my mortgage through him, but I just had to come on here and say I…read moreHIGHLY recommend Drew Clemans for your mortgage origination needs. Throughout my entire home buying process Drew was generous with his time and expertise, literally every step of the way. His bio mentions that his approach is rooted in education, and that really came through in my experience. He took the time to make sure I understood what was happening and why, which made the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. His advice was thoughtful and tailored to my situation, never generic or salesy. He knew I already had a lender but he was still willing to give him time and advice with no strings attached. He also connected me with a homeowners insurance agent who ended up getting me a much better policy than what I was originally planning to sign up for. That referral alone made a huge difference. Drew is the kind of person you want in your corner when you're navigating the home buying process. Knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in helping people. I truly can't recommend him highly enough.

As a first time home buyer I was apprehensive about the whole process and totally clueless where to…read moreeven start. We just closed on our first house last week, and I feel SO FORTUNATE to have found Maureen!! She is a mastermind of the mortgage lending process! I don't think I've ever met someone who is so hardworking with such high standards. Even better, Maureen upholds the same high standards for every one else involved in the lending process (escrow company, lenders, realtors, etc.) and she is constantly 2 steps ahead and prepared for anything, with a back up plan "just in case" to ensure everything goes through seamlessly. As a first time homebuyer initially unfamiliar with the process, I now know I threw a couple curve balls and Maureen didn't even bat an eye. As if all that wasn't enough, I also had no idea where to start when looking for a good realtor. Maureen suggested a few she has worked with in the past that she thought were really good, and she did not disappoint. I ended up choosing Melissa Tucci as my realtor, who was just as amazing as Maureen, and the two of them working together turned into an unstoppable powerhouse that could move mountains and get a deal done! If you're looking for a mortgage broker who will take care of you like family and go above and beyond, look no further. You will not be disappointed!

Aloha. If you need a lender who actually understands real estate investing and doesn't panic at the…read morefirst sign of a complication, look no further than Griffin Funding. I worked with Marina Oliver and Shell Contizano on a cash-out refinance for one of my vacation rental properties. Because the property has an ADU and my financials involved multiple businesses, a standard loan wouldn't work. Marina expertly guided us into a DSCR loan. Along the way, our title report pulled up an old judgment that wasn't mine and a pending insurance lawsuit. Where other lenders would have backed out or delayed for months, Shell and Marina communicated clearly, told me exactly what documentation they needed (like an identity affidavit and an attorney letter), and pushed the file through underwriting without missing a beat. They put in the elbow grease and got it done. Five stars all the way. Mahalo!

As an experienced Asset Manager with a company overseeing a portfolio of properties, we are sharing…read moreour experience with Griffin Funding for the benefit of the public seeking mortgage loan/brokerage services. * We engaged Griffin to advise us on options for a DSCR 2nd Loan (i.e. 2nd-lien priority). After many hours of extended discussions and emails over many months with the Loan Officer we felt our situation was clear and a subject property for the loan was selected. * We were given verbal assurances that based on the estimates, projections and models shared and discussed, based on the cashflow and DSCR ratio of the property, a loan would be approved. * An appraisal was then requested and ordered by Griffin. We paid $825 for the appraisal fee. * We then stated the loan amount could be adjusted to meet the DSCR ratio requirement. In the meantime, we met on-going, voluminous documentation requests. * Thereafter, the Loan Officer informed us there was a $100K minimum loan policy but agreed to lower the loan amount to $60K in order to obtain approval. At the same time, the Loan Officer stated the appraisal had nothing to do with the loan approval. * Next, we were told that Griffin would not allow an exception to their $100K minimum loan policy and therefore could not approve the loan. The Loan Officer then (again) proposed we switch to a 1st-Lien Refi (requiring a refinance of the entire loan balance from approximately 3% to 9%+, an option we clearly ruled out at inception). * At that point, we requested the $825 appraisal fee be refunded given the minimum loan policy was not made clear at the outset and the Loan Officer stated the appraisal had nothing to do with the loan approval. Surprisingly, our request for a refund was met with immediate rebuttals, reprisals and accusations. When we referred the matter to the CEO of the company noting Griffin's standard email footer "...our CEO would love to hear from you...", after approximately three months we received an email response. Rather than reaching out to discuss the specifics of the situation, address concerns and consider a reasonable resolution, we were again met with absolute rebuttals and refusal to take any further action. Upon expressing our dissatisfaction once more the response was "...refer all correspondence to our attorney...". In our opinion, individuals and businesses seeking real estate funding/loan services are well-advised not to engage Griffin Funding.

Mike, Mike, Mike! We cannot recommend him enough, and it's a testament to his expertise and care…read morethat we've worked with him for not one--but two home purchases! First, he helped us find and buy our very first townhome, and six years later, he guided us to our dream primary residence. What makes Mike truly exceptional is not just his depth of knowledge in real estate, but also his expertise as a lender. He took the time to ensure we understood every aspect of our loan--not just the numbers, but the strategy behind choosing the right terms for our long-term goals. Beyond that, he helped us think outside the typical inspection process, connecting us with specialists so we had a complete and well-rounded understanding of the home before making such a big decision. Mike is remarkably patient, always available (even for early-morning calls or late-night questions), and his approach is refreshingly thorough and considerate. He doesn't just want to close a deal--he genuinely cares that his clients make smart, well-informed choices. If you're looking for someone who is as knowledgeable as they come and has an unmatched commitment to your best interests, Mike is as patient, caring, and knowledgeable as they come.

Even when we faced a few unexpected bumps in the road, he helped us stayed calm, and always had a solution to help us move forward. He made the entire process so much easier, walking us through every document, answering all our questions quickly, and helping us truly understand each step. His team and resources was just as amazing, organized, efficient, and on top of everything. Thanks to Andre, we were able to close on our loan fast, which was a huge relief. A very special thank you to Andre for recommending our realtor, Alejandra Stepho, who was also absolutely a dream to work with. She made the home buying experience smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. She's knowledgeable, patient, and truly had our best interest at heart every step of the way. Highly recommended!

Dave Pennington is an amazing mortgage officer. Our realtor contacted him on short notice to help…read moreus close on a house 13 days after our initial contact, and he nailed it. The backstory is that we originally were working with a different mortgage officer for a different company, but she warned that we weren't going to be able to make the closing date. That freaked us out, and our realtor recommended we switch to Dave. I'm so glad she did, because Dave really stepped in and got things done, as soon as possible. It's like he had a fire lit under his butt and needed to move move move. We really appreciated that. He pushed us to get things turned around quickly, and he pushed everyone else involved in our transaction (especially the escrow company, which was having issues). On his own initiative he contacted the relevant parties (e.g., the escrow company, our financial advisor, our insurance agent) when things were unclear or when they needed to be pushed. And we were able to make our closing date with days to spare, with a solid mortgage at a very competitive interest rate. Dave took the time to explain the complexities and walk us through things, while also pushing things along and sending us reminders when we were forgetful. One thing I especially appreciated is that he acted as our advocate and gave us advice, rather than being tight-lipped and trying to cover his own butt. In other words, he acted as if he wanted us to get a loan and get the house, and his job was to help us make that happen, rather than trying to protect the bank from all possible risks and just make money for the bank. I recommend Dave most highly.

Some of the initial lenders would make the initial contact and then drop us off their radar and from the others we would simply not hear back from them. After some online searches I found Anita and her team. I submitted an inquiry and Anita quickly reached back out to me, ensured that her team would take care of us and let me know that I could call her or her team with any questions or concerns we might have. I immediately realized that her team would be the lender that would get us ready for our home search. We began the underwriting process and their dashboard made it extremely easy to upload and sign documents. Very user friendly! I had a ton of questions and would keep reaching out to Anita and she would gladly provide her recommendation and feedback. After about a week or so, I had reached out to her again and let her know that we needed a new agent and then she recommended us to an amazing realtor, Veronica Morin. We went on one day of showings (it was a Monday). Then, that same week on Wednesday, we submitted an offer on a house and by Thursday of the same week we were in escrow. I give credit to Anita's team which had us ready to close escrow in 17 days and also Veronica's constant communication with the seller's agent for getting us our home in such a quick and painless process. Special shout out to Anita's team who would constantly call for updates and reminders to help us stay on top of our escrow process! Really appreciated that I could call them for any updates and go the extra mile to ensure nothing got delayed with escrow. If we wouldn't have documents or something was missing, he would make the necessary calls and get the ball moving again.

I am a worrier by nature and Anita and her team were able to walk me through ever step and answer ever question no matter the time or place!

My wife and I are first-time home buyers, so there was so much around this adventure that we didn't…read moreunderstand going in. The lending part of the process was especially intimidating and anxiety-provoking. Based on a family recommendation, we reached out to one person initially, but the communication was transactional, terse, and spotty. It only made us more uncomfortable and disoriented. That's when we reached out to our real estate agent for her recommendation. We said we didn't know what was typical, but that we were hoping for a more hands-on approach. She recommended Max Snyder with the 100 Doors team at RWM. Max is absolutely phenomenal. He's personable and patient, with excellent attention to detail and follow through. He's a strong communicator and responsive, too. Whenever we were confused or curious, he was happy to answer our questions. Throughout the process, he kept in mind our "financial personality" and how we wanted to approach our expenses conservatively. He helped us set our overall budget based on our desired monthly payment. Then, as we house hunted, he created reports on the homes we were most interested in so we could get a clearer picture of their feasibility. That was an awesome service! It empowered us to make offers and understand our limits. He also helped us explore our options to save money, such as presenting ways to qualify for an interest rate cut and the ability to lock our interest rate (as well as good timing for the lock). Come time to shop for home insurance, we knew the monthly cost to shoot for to keep our monthly payment where we wanted it. Around our closing disclosures, he let us know what to expect, so there weren't scary, deal-breaking surprises numbers-wise, and he explained changes we spotted. At every turn, I felt like I knew what was going on and like I wasn't alone. His team kept us on track through all the major milestones and got us to our closing date on time. There was even a moment when the listing agent mistakenly requested a later closing date. Extending our interest rate lock would've incurred a daily fee, but that was our best financial option. To help us through the change, Max offered to absorb the fee. Max made the lending process warm and approachable. He instilled confidence, both in him and in our own decision-making abilities. I can't thank him and his team enough for all their hard work. We couldn't have asked for a better loan officer. It's hard to put into words how much this positive experience meant to us at such a stressful, exciting, and significant point in our lives.
