I recently worked with Bixby Knolls Mortgage to buy my first home, and came away from the…read moreexperience very impressed. Applying for the loan was painless, and I appreciated that Tom called me to discuss interest rates, where they might be going, and different financing options at length. He took a fair bit of time out of his busy day, and I appreciated that. When I started interviewing agents, all of them knew of Tom & his team and were happy to hear that I was working with him. Definitely not the reaction I would have gotten with an online lender. During the transaction, I appreciated Lauren and Tom's prompt, timely communication of the status of the loan, along with any items I needed to take care of. Tom again took the time to walk me through the terms of my loan, the rate, what a rate lock is, and any questions I had as a first time home buyer. We funded & closed on time (despite labor day weekend happening in the middle of the transaction), and I got a great rate on the home I wanted. I'd happily recommend Bixby Knolls Mortgage to anyone looking for a good lender, and they'll be my first call if I want to refi or purchase a new home in the future.

Can't thank them enough.

First off, I did close on my home (a day late) and the rate I received and what I was offered was…read morerelatively good. Also I acknowledge that there are parts of the process that are out of the control of the loan officers. These are not the reasons for the poor review. I worked with Angel Chavez and Marc Dorado and my process couldn't have been more frustrating. I was working on a tight timeline and was ensured that the process would be expedited. For over two weeks I waited for the appraisal. I understand that the appraisal is done by a third party company but what bothered me was the miscommunication and straight up lies from Angel and later Marc (his manager). After the appraisal was done, I asked Angel when would the report come in. He said tomorrow. Then I check tomorrow, he says end of day. I message him end of day, he says it should come after the weekend. I check in after the weekend, still nothing but he says it should be there today. Next day, same thing. He couldn't be honest and just say he didn't know. I requested expedited service and asked Angel I paid for it. He says yes, I paid for expedited. I call him later that day, he says there is no record that I paid and that this job wasn't available to be expedited. I ask him why he lied to me. He can't respond. For whatever reason he could never give me a straight answer and instead would always give me false hope. I would have much rather he just said he didn't know and would update me. Enter his manager, Marc. Same schtick, makes promises that the report will come in and that he will update me. In our first conversation he even said, the report will come in the next day. I said I didn't believe him and when the report still didn't come in the next day, I didn't even get a courtesy update. I hear nothing till I contact him. At one point, I'm extremely upset and Marc tries to calm me down by ensuring that even though the appraisal is taking a long time, closing is still far away and I shouldn't be so upset. It was truly insulting to try and use that logic on me since I had other contingency deadlines to meet and even though we did close, it still ended up closing a day later than expected. So yes, it all worked out in the end. I closed on my home and am living there now, but the experience working with Optimum was unacceptable. It must be in their training to keep making promises since they both did it. I couldn't believe it kept happening and the whole process was extremely frustrating. Again, I understand that a lot of what happened was out of their control. The appraisal company is the one who really dropped the ball. Still, the reason I got frustrated is because Angel and Marc never just said that they "didn't know" or "hopefully the appraisal will come in but it might not" or something to that effect. Instead they overpromised and then underdelivered and then neither would give me the courtesy of an update until I asked. I don't think they misled me on purpose but rather gave assurances they couldn't keep. Every time it happened, I got more and more flustered and that's why I had such a frustrating experience.
