Rosemary Gee goes above and beyond! What a great broker. Myself and my family have used her. We wouldnt go anywhere else. She is super efficient but also has the 'personal' touch. Really takes care of her clients in all ways (including getting the best rate) Thank you so much, Rosemary read more

Rosemary was one of two lenders recommended to us. After doing an initial screening of both recommended lenders, we knew right away that Rosemary was someone we wanted to work with. From the start, Rosemary was very responsive and provided us with a wealth of information. She knew her stuff and it was apparent. All our questions were answered directly and she never pushed us to make one decision over another. She gave us the facts and then gave us time to absorb the information while always being accessible for questions. Rosemary helped us through multiple offers and ultimately helped us find a loan option that worked best for us. We signed closing documents for our first home the same day we brought our newborn home from the hospital. We couldn't have done it without the support of Rosemary on our team. I highly recommend working with her for your mortgage needs! read more

We have used Spinner Mortgage a few times and have been treated so wonderfully, and professionally. Ted and Jodi are such a team! Correspondence back and forth is quick. They respond immediately and always have an answer to our questions. Very experienced and knowledgeable. I would never go anywhere else. There are a lot of brokers out there but Ted and Jodi will never disappoint. They will get you the best rate in town! Laura C read more

Ted and his staff have been nothing short of amazing. They work fast and efficiently. You want something done quickly at the best rate, Spinner mortgage is the perfect solution. 5 star service read more

We wanted lower our monthly expenses and interest rates were down. I compared three different mortgage brokers, including Rita Lo, who I initially called because of the glowing reviews for her on Yelp. Rita was nice over the phone and asked some pertinent questions. I answered what I could and she quickly sent me an email in chart form of different options for our mortgage. I don't know about you, but Mr. L and I *really* like when things are organized cleanly in easy-to-read columns and emailed so we could look it over. The other mortgage brokers were not nearly as organized or efficient. One said he wasn't able to email us (whaaaa?!), so I had to take notes over the phone (FAIL!). He also didn't get me nearly as good rates and called repeatedly (MEGAFAIL - you lose, Wells Fargo!). Deciding to work with Rita was easy. We did most over our correspondence over email, even though her office is nearby. When we eventually met for the closing, she was extremely pleasant. I discovered then that her educational background was from UC Berkeley as an Electrical Engineer. No wonder she's so smart. Our monthly payments are lower, Rita made the process painless, and we were happy to have our mortgage done by a detail-oriented go-getter who likes doing mortgages. Go figure. read more

See all

Ted and Jodi helped me refinance recently and they have been so helpful throughout the entire process. I was contacting big banks for their rates but none of them really had us in their best interest. I was so happy we found Ted and his team. He'll send me daily rates base on our desired scenario and always had our best interest in mind. Ted and Jodi are super responsive and is very knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. I thought refinancing would be a really painful process but with Ted and Jodi's guidance, it was so simple and quick! read more

All the past positive reviews and comments here are on point. Ted and Jodi are clear, responsive, and truly work for what works best for your particular scenario. This is the 4th time we have worked with them (1st & 2nd home mortgage and two refi's) and we couldn't imagine working with anyone else. Multiple scenarios are presented, they lay out all the facts and figures, all questions and concerns promptly addressed, all with no pressure whatsoever. We got a quoted a fantastic rate right before the Covid-19 shelter order, and Ted was diligent in getting paperwork signed and processed, appraisals and notary scheduled, even sending and responding to emails after-hours, all so that we could close the loan in a timely manner at the quoted interest rate. Mahalo Ted and Jodi! read more

I was referred to Rosemary Gee from a coworker who had done multiple refinances with her. The coworker said that Rosemary will look through your paperwork and tell you what loan and interest she can get you and she can deliver as quoted. Before purchasing our second home I've gotten a pre approval letter from Rosemary. When I placed my offer for the home I wanted, the agent knew of Rosemary already and because of her reputation of getting the loan she pre approves for the seller's agent convinced the seller to reject the highest offer and accepted our offer. Our offer was in the back up offer list. I think if I used any other agent, the seller's agent wouldn't had convinced the seller to bump the 1st offer off. After all the paperwork we finally closed on this home. Since then we had refinanced three times and every time Rosemary delivers as promised with professionalism. She will not question you about more than what is needed to explain any and every situation to the loan company. After every loan process/ refinance, Rosemary will send you all the paperwork in a portfolio folder to keep for future references. read more

A year after we bought our house we used Rita again to refinance, the experience was as wonderful as our first.

Scott, Rita, and Ted are such a gem to work with. As first time home buyers and not knowing anything about purchasing these guy walked us through It all, willing to answer any questions we had ( we had a lot of questions) . They worked with us with any problem that arise and did not give up on us . As anyone would know buying in the Bay Area , restate is tough and can be tricky but when your working with Scott; he will put you at ease about It all . do not hesitate to give them a call for your next home because you won't regret It. We will definitely be calling Scott once we are ready to sell and and purchase our second home . Thank you again spinner! read more

My wife and I have used Rosemary Gee previously on refi's. I have referred ALL of our family and friends to her. Our tax accountant even used her and raved on what a great job she did for him, Recently we almost lost our apartment building due to a very complicated situation . Our bank refused to refinance our loan and was threatening to take it over. We got Rosemary involved and she was able to find us a lender to refinance our building and saved our property!!!!!, She did an outstanding job. After many sleepless nights, my wife and I are finally able to breath a sign of relief. read more

This review is specifically for Rosemary Gee, I've not worked with any other Spinner member. Rosemary is very knowledgable and a true professional. She guided my husband and I through the whole process and assuaged all our concerns. Return calls and emails are promptly made, and you feel like she really looks out for your best interest. Her enthusiasm and kindness made the process so much more bearable. It was such a pleasure to work with Rosemary. She has worked with my parents and my uncle and both parties have also been very pleased with the level of service Rosemary has provided. If anyone ever needs a rec. for a mortgage person, she would be the first person I point them to, hands down. read more

We have financed or refinanced with Rosemary four times now over the past eleven years and each one has been great. We have received loan terms that we have been very happy with, and that is in addition to her simply taking such great care of us in a friendly and professional way. She makes the process as easy and as painless as it can possibly be. Many thanks. read more

As a first time home buyer we were super nervous and had very little idea on what we were doing. Scott is the best he stepped in and showed any house we were interested in or the ones he thought we would like (he found the one we ended up buying) there is nothing he won't do to help. Rita also was a major asset, we had a million questions and she took time to make sure we understood everything during the process. When we upgrade down the line I know exactly where we will be going to for our agents. Can't express how helpful they were! read more

Rosemary Gee at Spinner Mortgage is expedient, accurate, and efficient. I dealt with Rosemary a few years ago to refinance my house. My second transaction was closed yesterday. I have had extremely positive experiences with both loan transactions. In addition to Rosemary's ability to communicate effectively and efficiently, I was able to get a very good interest rate with a very affordable payment option. I would highly recommend Spinner Mortgage and Rosemary Gee. Thank you Rosemary for helping me in finding and processing my second loan. read more

We have worked with Rita Pen ~six times the last 4 years. Yes, that's a lot of debt accrued :) , but more importantly, we know that Rita is reliable, knowledgeable, honest, dedicated, and patient. She is backed by a great team. Thanks to Rita, our loans always worked out and funded on-time, even in high-pressure, complex situations. I recommend her to all. read more

I was recommend to and have been working with Rosemary Gee since 2011. Rosemary is awesome...knowledgeable, thorough, and super responsive. Rosemary recently helped my with a tricky mortgage and made sure everyone little detail was taken care of. I recommend all my friends to Spinner. read more

I was referred by my close friend who has known and worked with Rosemary Gee for years and she spoke highly of Rosemary. What impressed me was not only Rosemary is very professional, dedicated, and she's very customer oriented. I totally trust that things are in good hands with her. From the day I got my pre-approval letter till Escrow closing, we were able to accomplish within 30 days! Trust that my case could be complicated but she could turn around to make things happen very smoothly! It was an extraordinary experience for me! read more

I just finished refinancing my home through Spinner Mortgage and I could not be happier. I found spinner via a yelp search read the reviews and thought I would give it a shot. Yelpers are never wrong! When I phoned I was put in contact with Rosemary Gee, and from our first conversation I knew I had finally found the right person to handle my refi. I had been shopping around the whole month of November 2010 and found that by far Rosemary answered all my questions with a much higher degree of expertise than anyone else I had spoken with. In addition, some other places made me feel that my loan amount was not worth their effort since they were being saturated with refinancing clients do to the low interest rates. Rosemary never once made me feel that my business was insignificant to her or her company. I am very pleased to say that it was a very pleasant experience and I would highly recommend Rosemary to anyone who needs a good mortgage broker. Her follow through was great, (even when mine was not always as great) and her attitude was fantastic. Thanks Rosemary for making the process as easy as possible! read more

My wife and I have worked with Ted, Jodi, and company several times over the last 5 years and they are amazing. They helped us buy our home and refinance twice. Highly recommend! If you want a friendly staff that are always willing to go the extra mile, look no further. read more

Just finishing up on the last of the paperwork for our 12th purchase of real property over the last 40+ years. The two including the current transaction that have been brokered and managed by Rosemary Gee have been, without a doubt, the most professional easiest and least stressful of them all. Rosemary and her behind the scenes staff provide a level of service that is quite frankly, "Second to None!" Respectfully Dan Johndrow read more

I was starting to look for a mortgage to buy a new house and wanted to know what I could qualify for before engaging a real estate agent. I contacted Spinner by email and received a prompt reply. I was assigned to someone other than Ted or Rita, who have been reviewed here so far. When I started to submit documentation, the response times went up. I have a fairly complicated financial situation because I generally work at startups so I tend to switch jobs frequently and also have fluctuations in my income. As we worked through these issues, response times got longer. Finally, I received a brush-off answer saying that I couldn't possibly qualify for a loan without selling my current house (duh - that was always the plan). I tried one more email to try to get an indication if they wanted my business or not and never got a response. I guess that's a clear indication. The bottom line seems to be that if your situation is complicated, they may not have the will to see it through. It may also depend on whom you're working with. I will not be trying to work with Spinner any time in the future, though. read more

I cannot emphasize enough what a great job Ted Yamagishi and the others at Spinner did on our recent home purchase! We threw Ted all kinds of curveballs like changing downpayment sources/percentages at the last minute and he still got the job done! Ted even personally showed up in the city on a late Friday afternoon to make sure our closing went smoothly . . . apparently a rarity amongst mortgage brokers. read more

I would recommend Rosemary Gee without hesitation to anyone looking for a home loan. She helped us get a very low rate loan with competitive terms and got us through the process quickly and smoothly. We started looking to buy around Thanksgiving and Rosemary was invaluable in helping us close on our 1st home in Fremont on Valentine's. She's always responsive and works extremely hard for her clients. read more

Once again, Ted and Jodi provided the very best guidance through my recent refi. Spinner Mortgage is jewel in a very competitive Marketplace. No need to look any further for your mortgage concerns. read more

Cannot say enough wonderful things about Rosemary Gee! My husband & I were referred to her and told she is the best, and she truly is. We reached out to her months before wanting to purchase a home and from the beginning she was amazing. She made sure we had everything in order and ready to go for when we were ready to buy. She was so professional & friendly and really made the whole experience a breeze. She was on top of everything and never did we have to follow up with her. Truly a class act and would refer all family & friends to her. Thank you Rosemary!!! read more

Ted, Jodi, and Rita helped us with a very quick close on our new home. They are so responsive and really provided a personal touch that we so appreciated. Ted even accompanied us to our loan signing so that he could answer any questions or speak to any last minute concerns we might have. Thank you to the Spinner team! read more

I was referred to Ted Yamagishi and Spinner/Bayview Mortgage to assist me with a fairly complex, delayed financing loan. I acquired a property back in December and had 90-days to secure a new purchase money, 1st mortgage on it. I first made contact with Ted the week between Christmas and New Years and we were able to close a loan in about 45 days. It had been quite some time since I last applied for a mortgage. Ted is extremely knowledgeable and has 30 years experience in the loan biz. He gave me the latest updates on rates, the current market conditions and walked me thru the entire process step by step. I was provided with several options and we were also able to do just about everything via electronic communications. Ted and his assistant Jodi are a great team. They are well organized, extremely responsive and available by phone, email or text. I recommend them highly of you are looking for a mortgage loan or to refinance. Thanks Ted and Jodi. read more

I refinanced my house and Edwin Okamura was just so AWSOME he helped me get this done and it went so smooth I live in Southern California and he is In The Bay Area but besides all that everything went great and it was painless and I saved a bunch of money. He kept me posted on every step and he was quick to get this done I recommend this company and Edwin Okamura to anyone wanting to refi read more

Me and my wife recently worked with the excellent team @ Spinner to get a loan for our house which we just closed on in Pacifica. The whole team, and especially Rita were amazing in working with us throughout the whole process. We had multiple questions and concerns throughout and a special circumstance that required a bit of extra work but the team made the whole process easy, transparent, and efficient. Highlight recommended! read more

Rita Pen was instrumental in making our first home purchase possible. She helped us drive the process forward and was both responsive and helpful along the way. She was always willing to walk through the details. She's extremely fast, organized and thorough. She also was able to find us an ideal loan based on our specific situation. Thank you Rita and Spinner Mortgage. read more

We worked with Rosemary for our home mortgage financing. She is amazing in every sense of the word. Very professional, responsive, on top of all requirements, patiently answers all queries, gives great advise and knows the ins and out that will help you get the best rate and finish all formalities on time. We closed our offer in less than a month. In addition, she has a great team of people she works with if you need more help. Really happy with her work and strongly recommend. read more

I've purchased two homes and refinanced 3 times with Spinner Mortgage and would never go anywhere else. Each individual I've worked with has always been kind, courteous, and professional. They help you through the process to understand the information you're looking at and always respond immediately to any thoughts or questions you might have. Specifically, Ted and Jodi are amazing at what they do. They've become family more than friends and I'd happily invite them into the home they helped me purchase with open arms. If you're looking for a mortgage broker, look no further. Spinner Mortgage is the company you've been looking for, and the company you'll stay with forever. read more

My husband and I have worked with Ted and his team numerous times. They are always there to help make sense of the often complex processes. Also, what I think speaks volumes about the quality of Spinner's work is that anytime we interacted with any of their colleagues, their colleagues had nothing but good things to say about them. I can't recommend them enough; they truly put you at ease! read more

Ted Yamagishi and Jodi Fujimura are a great team. They just helped my wife and I purchase our second investment property in Marin. As a retired couple, it can be more difficult to find a loan but Ted and Jodi found one for us. They clearly explained the process, anticipated all of the red tape we had to negotiate and helped us get our loan within our tight timeline. We have been using Spinner Mortgage for over 25 years for both home mortgages and refinancing. I wouldn't go anywhere else. read more

I recently worked with Spinner Mortgage, specifically Ted Yamagishi to get a mortgage on a home and the experience was amazing! Ted got me a low interest rate through his relationships with several lenders and closed my loan in 15 days. We were in a time crunch too, which made this even more meaningful to me and my family. On top of this, he walked me through the entire process and anytime I reached out he would promptly follow up and address my concerns. I would recommend Spinner Mortgage and Ted Yamagishi to anyone that wants an easy, fast experience dealing with a knowledgeable Loan Officer. Thanks Ted & Spinner Mortgage! read more

Ok, all you yelpers. This review is LONG over due, so I apologize to Rita and Rosemary, and the rest of the awesome team at Spinner for being a slacker!! So stop looking for another mortgage broker, and just call Rita or Rosemary already. Anyways, I am a first time home owner thanks to them, and with their teamwork, guidance, and follow through, they made my home buying experience unbelievably smooth. I bought my home at the end of last October with Rita and Rosemary, and I am now going through the refinancing process with Rita. So some highlights of my experience with them include: 1) They are very professional, organized, and efficient. 2) They don't treat you like a moron if you ask tons of questions (and I ask a ton of stupid questions). 3) They are super responsive. I have probably 99% of my communication with them via email on my phone (I do not have a desk job, and am not able to talk on the phone freely), but they always got back to me in a timely manner. 4) With all the tons of paper work, they tell you up front what you need to know, what you need to sign, and when they need the stuff. 5) They take care of YOUR best interests. SO CALL THEM ALREADY!!! Seriously.... why are you still reading all this? read more

I was first introduced to Rosemary 10 years ago when I first bought my home. From the first time I meet her, Rosemary was welcoming and made me feel at ease. Since then, I have refinanced 2 different times. I can't say enough wonderful things about her. Rosemary is extraordinary! She is always so friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and patient, She always has my best interest at heart and helps guide me through every stage of the process. She is quick to respond to phone calls and emails, contacts me regularly to check in or update me when rates lower, and works tirelessly to make sure that I get the best rates possible. She is a wealth of information and always takes the time to get to know her clients. Her attention to detail and passion for her work make it easy to trust her. I feel so fortunate to have found her and would recommend Rosemary and Spinner Mortgage in a heartbeat! read more

I will keep this review short and sweet. Working with Rosemary was a pleasure. Her proactive approach got my little family the loan on our new home without any hiccups. Her communication throughout the entire process was amazing. She kept us informed and in the loop in what was going on from beginning to end. I will definitely recommend spinner to family and friends. THANK YOU ROSEMARY. read more

I found Spinner via Yelp. I am surprised that they didn't get more feedback postings on Yelp! My experience with Rosemary was excellent. She was very responsive and quick to respond to my emails and phone calls, even during weekends/holidays. She was very effecient and thorough with the paperwork. If I ever needed to refinance again, I will definitely go back to Rosemary. Highly recommend! read more
