Lisa, Sara and Jim, thank you! You've worked so hard to get us into our forever home. We had issues arise and Sara took it by the reigns. Overall, working with this company was the EASIEST part of the home buying process. Their attention to detail and commitment was so reassuring for us. Sara said when she gets her eyes on a goal, she achieves it. We are currently moving into our home because of the 3 of them. Thank you so so much for all you did for us! read more

I recently refinanced my home and had the absolute BEST experience ever with solano mortgage from start to finish. I was referred here through my bank (solano first credit union) after canceling my refi process with another company and couldn't be more pleased. I worked with Melinda Lillis who was my loan processor and she was very accommodating and attentive to all of my needs. She was very patient with explaining the process and any time I had a question or concern I could text or call her with no problem. I really loved how I only had to work with one person the entire time. Previous refi's I had to work with 2-3 people and there was always in issue. The entire team at solano mortgage is amazing. When I went to the office to meet Melinda as well as Jim they were both very nice and easy going. I didn't feel rushed and they made sure all my questions were answered. From the moment I had my call with Melinda to the moment my loan closed was exactly 4 weeks. This is the fastest time I have ever had a refinance done. Just amazing! If you are looking for professionals that will go above and beyond to meet your needs I highly recommend using solano mortgage you can't go wrong with this team! Thank you all that helped me with this process. After having 2 other refi's that I had to cancel with other companies that had no clue what they were doing I am so glad I gave it one more try with solano mortgage. Best decision ever =) read more

Solano Mortgage always comes through for my clients. I cannot say enough great things about Lisa, Sara and Jim. They are prompt and available when I need them to connect with someone interested in purchasing property. Jim Porter is the most knowledgeable guy in the business and I ask him my toughest client and personal investing questions. Such a great resource and they are right here in Vacaville! read more

Solano mortgage was very professional and helpful. They helped my husband and I through our whole loan process. I highly recommend Solano Mortgage read more

Only because I see the commercial on NBSBA 720. Our experience wasn't good with Solano Mortage. Let me explain: Not all Mortage lenders are for everyone. It seemed to us, Solano Mortage was looking for a easy, quick loan a 'slam dunk.' And that wasn't our situation. We needed to correct some issues before we could get the home loan. Solano Mortage blew us off for a year and we spent a ridiculous amount of money for a credit repair that Solano Mortage referred us to. After a year of wasted time. We finally found Caliber Home Loans and we bought our home. I guess Caliber Home Loans has the magic touch and Solano Mortage doesn't? We don't understand and it doesn't matter at this point. Your commercial on TV is very clever, cute and funny. Maybe, mortgage companies are like friends or marriages? You just need to find the right person/home loan company. Three Stars because we are good people and wish you the best. read more

Just finished closing on our house in Woodland. Solano Mortgage provided great service, great knowledge, and is always ready for any questions you have for them. Very good lending company to go with. Thank you Solano Mortgage Team! read more

I'd like to thank the Solano mortgage team for all they did We are so happy with your team thank you!!!!!! Highly recommend!!!!! Ok

We want to give a big shout, thank you, high five and praise to Loli for making our homebuying process such a breeze. She treated us as if she's known us for forever and never made us feel like we were asking the wrong or dumb questions. I always felt like she answered our emails or calls immediately. She gave us more information than what we asked for and never made it feel like it was a burden on her part. When we met with her to sign all the documents she took the time to explain every single page and to make sure that we understood what was happening. There was 100% full transparency throughout the process and she definitely knows her stuff. I'm sure she had many other clients when we were working with her, but she never made us feel that way! She is 1/2 of the dream team and although we didn't get to work with her partner, it is clear that they have earned that title and are true to their customers. Anyone looking to buy a home, new buyers or experienced, I would hands-down refer you to Loli because you will be in GREAT care. Thanks again, Loli! read more

Jake and his team were extremely helpful. Was able to work through a refinance of my property quick and really fought for the best deal. Definitely made the process easy for me. read more

Tom Garant is hands down the best loan agent one could ask for. This is our 3rd home purchase, but first time working with Tom and we will never work with anyone else so long as Tom is available. He never made us feel pressured to move forward, we felt like he was continuously working for us, and he answered all questions honestly. I especially appreciate his realistic, down to earth, tell you how it is nature. It only grows trust, and that trust establishes loyalty amongst customers. It never hurts just getting a second opinion on a loan. Call Solano Mortgage, ask for Tom, and watch him work his magic. read more

Loli and Alix are the BEST. They always stayed on top of the whole loan process with me. Whenever I had a question they were always available and readily answered my question with the most accurate and understandable response. There was a period when I had questioned whether or not I was getting the lowest possible interest rate from them. Without hesitation or reluctance they provided me with fact sheets detailing loan variables and possibilities. I was then able to intelligently compare other offers by lenders marketing "lower interest rates". Fortunately, I learned that these so called "lower interest rates" were packed with many hidden costs and fees that would have resulted in me spending a lot more money. In short, they did not have to take the time and explain things to me, but they did! They did not have to provide me with their fact sheets, but they did!! This showed me that they truly wanted me to get the BEST loan whether through them or someone else. It showed me that they CARE!!!!!! I am so very pleased to have worked with them. They possess qualities and skills that all businesses should convey but don't. I can't say enough positive things about them, their characteristics and their ethics. They put my mind at ease and delivered a superior product. If you or someone you know are in the market for a loan I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE DREAM TEAM. They are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

As a first time home buyer, Jake and and the rest of the Solano Mortgage company made me feel at ease and were available to answer any "silly" question I had. What a great team and I definitely recommend Solano Mortgage! read more

Lisa Porter and Sara Blanton did an awesome job assisting my wife and I in purchasing our first home. We're 500 miles away and they made it really easy with all the forms and other paperwork. They are a stellar bunch and have been voted the best in Solano county for quite some time. read more

Jim, Sara, and Lisa saved my home transaction! I had been working with another mortgage company when they bait-and-switched me 10 days prior to closing, trying to double my closing costs and making me give a higher down payment. The cost change was so much that I might have had to walk away from the transaction losing my earnest money. A family member referred me to Jim's team to see if there was anything they can do, and I was so glad she did! Not only did they get me a better deal than the original one from the other mortgage company, but they were still able to close on the original date!!! The whole Solano mortgage team was a joy to work with, and I already know who I'll go to for my next real estate transaction read more

In 4 years, I've worked with Jim Porter and his team 4 times! 2 purchases and 2 Refis. The last 3 were with Sara Blanton. Everyone on their team is a joy to work with and it all starts with Jim.

_Having tried to refinance my house with a much advertised national broker and getting nowhere because they did not seem to understand some the nuances of my needs, I finally approached Solano Mortgage. These people KNOW well their profession. They not only listened to my individual situation involving a trust situation, they did specific research with their lenders before we started the process. As a result, they were efficient, knew what questions to ask and information to give me as needed and wrap the re-fi up quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend all of the staff I worked with. I very much highly recommend Sara Blanton who was the loan specialist and really knew her field. She is pleasant, professional and responsive. What a pleasure to work with this group, and I cannot say that enough times! Go with this group and get your business done well. read more

I want to thank Solano Mortgage for making buying my first home such a great experience ! Jim Porter welcomed me like family and got the process started immediately ! Special thank you to Sara Blanton !! Sara made this so easy for me she answered ALL of my questions and was very reachable whenever I needed her. She knows her stuff and will make sure you understand by explaining things thoroughly . I will always recommend Solano Mortgage to my family and friends in the future. read more

Jim Porter and his team are exceptional. They helped my husband and I and even accommodated our busy schedules to meet with us. They have been amazing through the whole process and have been nothing but professional while treating us like old friends or family. read more

I contacted Tim Porter before I signed paperwork for a refinance through Loan Depot. I was comparing before I signed. Tim took the time to explain my situation and never once tried to sell me.....not once. Very rare these days. As it turned out, I was going to make a big mistake. Not because Loan Depot was giving me a horrible deal but it just didnt make since for my situation. I wish the sales person at Loan Depot would have broke it down like Tim did instead of trying to pad their pocket book. I get it though. Tim has earned my business for when I am ready and if you are reading this, trust me, if you want an honest lender, speak to Tim Porter. read more

I could not have been happier with my experience at Solano Mortgage. They navigated me through the hectic process of getting my first mortgage effortlessly. I felt treated like family, from talking to Jim and his daughter initially, then eventually working with Kevin Daniels. Even after shopping around for loans with my primary bank and checking out an online mortgage broker, they were unable to match the quality of service I received from Solano Mortgage. Kevin was very patient and very transparent about the entire process. He touched bases with me daily to let me know where I was at what I needed to complete next. Kevin made the loan fees clear to understand so it made it easy to compare their product with other lenders. After all was said and done Kevin even got my loan funded a week early! Overall, I feel very fortunate to have worked with Kevin Daniels at Solano Mortgage. read more

Jim Porter is a is a consummate professional with tireless energy and enthusiasm! His integrity and in depth knowledge along with his dynamic personality, make you feel at ease with your loan needs. I highly recommend and have recommended him to all my friends and family!! read more

We secured our home loan through Barbara Kibby, an agent here at Solano Mortgage. She was personable, thorough, and very professional -- the entire thing was a breeze. We went through hell with Bank of America Home Loans -- it was literally a year-long process of incompetency, not meeting deadlines, submitting the same stuff over and over, etc. So we were VERY thankful for Barbara's hard work, competence, and efficiency. We secured a loan for a short-sale home and closed within 2 months. Barbara was able to offer great options and really knew her stuff. She was easy to contact as well. I'd highly recommend her! read more

Being first-time home buyers we had no clue where to start when picking a mortgage broker, but after a little Googleing we decided to go with Solano Mortgage, and let me tell you: BEST...DECISION...EVER. We worked with Jim, the owner, and couldn't have asked for a more professional, knowledgeable , and motivated guy; Jim and his team was truly amazing! We were very green to the home-buying process but the entire team at Solano Mortgage was emphatically willing to answer questions and handle logistics to ensure we got into the home we wanted. We closed on our home one year ago and Jim still never hesitates to respond promptly to my emails or phone calls, no matter their nature (it's literally 9 PM and he's responding to my email about refinancing options). He is an honest and straight up guy when it comes to business and very obviously has our best interests at heart. He remembers his customers and advises them according to their needs, not his. He has my complete trust and I would not hesitate to send my family or friends his direction. From day one Jim and his team made themselves available around the clock to handle our question or concerns and keep us informed about how the process was going. It was refreshing to have such a personal experience and I will only be going to him for all our future mortgage needs. read more

Thank you Sara Blanton for being so approachable and reachable during our home buying process! My husband and I are so thankful for you! We are still in shock that this whole process was completed in a 21 day window! Thank you for the advice and for getting us a great loan! We are so appreciative!!!!!! read more

Wonderful experience with Loli and Alix! They are both so professional and made this process seamless. They kept us updated every step of the way and were extremely prompt with responses to any of our inquiries. We wholeheartedly recommend them and will go back to Loli and Alix the next time we are in the market. Thank you both! read more

Jim Porter is a top notch mortgage broker. Jim came highly recommended from my realtor and from my father. I could not be more happy and satisfied with the outcome. He always took the time to return phone calls, listen, and provide the needed feedback to get through the mortgage process. The Jim Modar team worked with me to secure my loan. Modar and his team worked constantly and professionally to complete my loan process. They always took the time to answer questions and explain every step of the process. After all that hard work, we even met my 30 day closing request!!! Amazing!!! read more

Had a great experience at Solano Mortgage with my refinance. Jim Porter has a great team here. Jeanine Nucum helped us and she was fantastic. She thoroughly explained all our options and laid out all our scenarios in a clear manner. Together, we went over each option to find out which suited our needs best. Jeanine made the process so easy, I recommend her to anyone thinking of doing a home loan. Solano Mortgage is a wonderful company to have in our city and I'm so happy I found them. Try them and you'll see why they're the best! Thank you again for your service! read more

My husband and I are first time home buyers and we were referred to Kristi Markel by a relative and it was the best referral ever. Kristi worked really hard and made sure to update us. She explained every thing to us and made sure we were comfortable with all decisions before setting them in stone. We closed on our house early this month and we couldn't be happier. Kristi definitely knows what she's doing and I consider her a friend.Thanks Kristi. read more

I highly recommend Dawn Palestini & Kashala Link! They were extremely knowledgeable, detailed, patient and very clear.

They made what could have been a confusing process straight-forward and understandable. read more
