We'll be forever grateful. Thank you Shannon! Thanks so much for you and your fabulous team!

Joe Pickett. That's…read moreall I have to say. Joe works magic with numbers and works quickly! He helped us buy our dream home in 2017, we started off with no credit and no plan. He walked us through all the necessary steps we would need to take in order to buy a home, what loans we would be eligible for, and would constantly check up on us to see how we were progressing. Made all the paperwork part super easy and understandable. We had the keys in hand just in time for the holidays! Now, 2021, with interest being at an all time low, Joe helped us refinance. Went from 4% interest to 2.75%, we're saving $600 a month! All done within a month. Perfect timing, as we're welcoming Baby #2 in a few months. Thank you so much, JP, from the bottom of our hearts! We're forever grateful and never pass up the opportunity to refer as many family and friends who don't think it's possible!

So I asked around and a couple of people that I work with have used Mann Mortgage and highly recommended them. I figure I would give them a shot. My loan Officer was Keoni Meyers. Overall he did a great job. No closing costs as advertised. I even got some money back. He quickly responded to my phone calls and e-mails. At one point there was a little snafu but he fixed the problem and actually closed on my property early. Kudos to Keoni Myers and his team. I will definitely refer him to my family and friends. Thanks.

I have honestly not been using Yelp recently other than as a quick google source to see rates for…read morecheck up of the expected quality I am about to receive. Nevertheless, today after receiving an open arms, welcoming introduction to the meeting in this supposed to be quick get-to-know-each-other kind of relaxed meeting, I got to meet the legendary Jodie (and Geoff). I say legendary as I was seriously perplexed in all the positive analysis developed just from quick, focused, and efficient $$$ Jodie was able to jot down and calculate. Although I already have a house, I really feel like just a peon on this chess board of life. Thats why I do not see it anywhere close to the end of my story. I am currently 33 and genuinely not a subject matter expert in anything with mortgage, Jodie was able to translate my sloppy knowledge about mortgage processes and flip it into something I can easily understand. Likewise, she also provided me with not only one view, but actually a few different visions, but again this time with the realistic and workable matching information to my actual life/scenario rather than the poor information I sourced just from google ‍. The whole reason I took a few mins to seriously sit down and write this Yelp review was to display the equal level of respect Jodie and Geoff represented. They immediately displayed advanced subject matter expertise and soaring intellectual knowledge about the whole finance mortgage obstacles, and seriously held that standard throughout the meeting and the exact way all the way through the meeting and when we all parted ways. Seriously in the 1-2 hr meeting today, I went in there confident, but afterwards, the awe-inspired vibes and reality reassurance they both provided me gave me one of the best feelings/highs I've had in a very long time. Although I just met them, without Judie or Geoff needing to ask me to recommend them to others, I would in a heart beat share the knowledge they gave me and their contacts now to anyone who needs assistance with mortgage as I want all my friends, family or just anyone I know to surround themselves with the highest levels of respect and treatment as this will lead anybody trying to provide for their family the best they truly can do and show for their hard earned money. Respect and appreciation is all over this review but again from the bottom of my heart, my family thanks and appreciate this. Thank you.

We met Jodie through Team Lally, and I must say--it was an emotional journey, but overall, we're…read moreincredibly happy and grateful for the service we received. We worked closely with Jodie, Anna, Lisa, Kasie, and Jeannie throughout the entire process. They were all extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and dedicated--putting in long days and late nights to make sure everything went smoothly. While there were some stressful moments (through no fault of theirs), they guided us through every step and made sure we got exactly what we needed. We asked for so many estimates and had so many questions--and they handled it all like pros, never missing a beat. Thanks to their hard work, we were able to get to closing much faster than expected. Their attention to detail and commitment gave us complete confidence that not only would the job get done--but it would be done right. And that peace of mind means everything. I highly recommend Pacific Rim Mortgage to anyone and everyone. I would absolutely work with them again!

After attempting to refinance with a large company and having it go really poorly to the point we pulled the plug, Preston and crew handled us with such care.

They got us a great rate and walked us through the whole process step by step, readily answering any of the questions we had and trying to make things work for us in the best way possible. We can't thank Hi Five and Preston enough! Highly recommend!

#51 for 2021 If I…read morehad my way, I give 0 stars for not taking any action on our file to refinance our home and allowing it to sit idle for four months from September 2020 to January 2021. Loan officer, who I will not state name, mentioned to us a few times that our file is done, is out of his hands, waiting for other department to get back, but is backed up with helping people on their first mortgage and first home. It's either the team knows or don't know what they're doing and/or doesn't have their priorities straight and in order. Think first come, first serve. My husband usually communicates weekly or bi-weekly with loan officer to see if there's anything else that we need to do on our end. Nothing. We have to wait. In December 2020, I told my husband if there's no progress made in January 2021, let's go with plan B. In January 2021, we had a group phone meeting, and we agreed to stay on. After a few weeks, my intuition told me nothing will be moving forward. After having a heart to heart discussion with my husband, we decided to state our valid reasons, say goodbye to loan officer, and go with plan B. We're both hurt that loan officer is someone my husband knows and wasn't a stranger to us. Kindly send a DM if you must know who we had as our loan officer. We will not recommend any of our families and friends. We do not wish to have any further business relations with this company.

Lower rates, super friendly, great teachers, 1000x better service, and answers to the millions of questions I had. We were in a lottery for over a year with no luck and then the market was exploding and we knew we had to buy NOW. Steve hustled for us non-stop, and I can't be more grateful. They say that when you're buying a house you need to assemble a solid team to help you succeed, well you don't have to look around anymore, add Steve and his team to your roster!!
