We recently had the pleasure of closing a transaction with Julie and the Aragon Lending Team, and…read moreit was a great experience from start to finish! Julie was professional, responsive, and on top of everything throughout the entire transaction. Communication between lending and escrow was excellent, and whenever we needed an update or had a question, she was quick to respond and kept everything moving forward. As an Escrow Officer, I truly appreciate working with a lender who understands the importance of communication, timing, and teamwork. Having a lending partner who stays engaged and works closely with escrow makes such a difference in getting everyone to a smooth and successful closing. Julie and the Aragon Lending Team were wonderful to work with, and I would absolutely recommend them. I look forward to working together again on many more transactions! Thank you, Julie, for being such a great lending partner!

They were available online the whole time -- both during the home purchase and later during refinancing -- always ready to answer any questions. Everything went smoothly and stress-free, with every step explained in advance so there were no surprises.

Highly recommend!

I really gave this some thought before writing this review, but I feel that I have to let others…read moreknow what happened to me. Make your own judgment and decision. I put a substantial deposit down (equal to one months rent) on a unit in one of this companies buildings. The following day I was offered a job in another city, accepted the position, and immediately notified the apartment managers that I couldn't take the apartment. The managers, who were very nice, said there wouldn't be a problem receiving my deposit back. It took me over two weeks to get my deposit back, and Vonderahe wasn't going to give it back at all. The apartment unit was "off the market" for one day, and I wasn't going to move in until January 20th, and he deducted $206.00 from the deposit return due to "forfeit of two days rent" and "deposit forfeit processing." He only returned the partial deposit after numerous e-mails were sent requesting my refund. Again, I will add, the apartment managers were very kind, but the Vonderahe Management Company is unscrupulous. Beware.

The young children in the building run wild and unsupervised around the driveway and parking area. Running and riding their bikes around parked cars. Scratching and denting them in the process.

I'm planning to move out as soon as I can afford it.

We worked with Jahi from Victory Financial Solutions for both our initial home purchase and a…read morerefinance (within a year), and both experiences were outstanding. From the very beginning, he took the time to thoroughly explain the process, outline all available options, and set clear expectations. He was proactive in gathering documents, anticipating potential issues, and addressing them before they became problems. We had a few complications with the refinance and it was only through Jahi's oversight and guidance that we were successful in our process. Communication was excellent throughout-- this was our first home purchase so we naturally had a lot of questions. Every question we had was answered promptly and clearly, and we were kept informed at each stage of the process. Jahi coordinated seamlessly with our lender, underwriters, and other parties to keep everything on track and on schedule. His attention to detail, responsiveness, and calm, professional approach made what can often be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We truly appreciated his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable mortgage broker. I would not hesitate to recommend Victory Financial Solutions to any of our friends and family. He was nothing short of fantastic and we are so grateful to have worked with him through both experiences!

If you're reading reviews trying to decide who to trust with something as important as your…read moremortgage, stop here. Jahi at VFS Mortgages is the one. From day one, it was obvious I wasn't just working with someone who "does loans", I was working with a true expert. Jahi has a deep, end-to-end understanding of the entire process, and more importantly, he knows how to guide you through it with total confidence. He doesn't just answer questions, he answers the ones you didn't even know to ask. What really sets him apart is how he takes ownership. Jahi handles everything. Every detail, every step, every moving piece, he's on it. There's no chasing, no guessing, no stress. Just a smooth, well-managed process where you always feel taken care of. And the communication? Next level. Proactive, clear, and consistent. I always knew exactly where things stood, what was coming next, and what to expect. That kind of transparency is rare, and incredibly valuable in a process like this. Bottom line, if you want someone who is knowledgeable, strategic, responsive, and completely in control of the process, Jahi is it. After working with him, there's honestly no scenario where I'd consider using anyone else, and neither should you.

My personal experience working with Tressa was horrible. I was the agent on a deal for a buyer I…read morebrought to her, and everything felt fine prior to acceptance, but went downhill immediately after. To start, Tressa became upset with me for allowing the buyer to open on a Friday instead of the next Monday saying we just lost 3 critical days, but then proceeded to change both the loan amount and the down payment assistance amount without notifying me or my client! We both (the buyer and I) only found out about it 2 weeks AFTER opening (so that time gone) because I had requested an estimated closing statement. She made the correction, but continued to, in my opinion, purposely keep me in the dark about the status of our file. So when we didn't receive CTC one week like she said we should have, I asked her about it and to my horror found out: 1) She sat on my client's file for the first 12 days, as in didn't submit the city reservation request at all, blaming it on issues with the buyer. One of these "issues" she told me had been resolved in 5 days, and the other "issue" she never brought up to me at all, all while leading me to believe everything was moving as it should be 2) She held off for 15 days to submit my client's info. to another DPA program, even though she knew about it the first week in escrow. She again tried to blame the buyer saying it was sprung on her last minute, when it was not. 3) The city can actually take up to 4 full weeks! to send their check after CTC, something she never told me about (up until then she had told me 2-3 weeks) even though I had directly asked her about it. When I then adamantly requested to know okay how much time do we really need since clearly we're behind, Tressa - refused to provide an answer - proceeded to blame me once again for allowing us to open on a Friday - used info. she found on my Instagram to INSULT me multiple times - complained about barely making any money on this deal - lied about requesting a document we needed to get us up to speed (when she hadn't) - then called the listing agent without my knowledge asking why the closing date had been changed (when it had not been! Tressa had misread the contracts). I ended up having to set up direct points of contact with everyone involved -- the underwriter, the city, her broker, etc.; watch over her like a hawk daily; and corroborate every piece of info. she gave me to get this deal done. To say that I was beyond disappointed, in my personal experience, would be an understatement. Please note again, this was my own experience working with her behind-the-scenes, not as a buyer.

As a first-time homebuyer, I felt like there was A LOT of trust that I was just being asked to put…read moreinto other people's hands to get through this process successfully. Living in California, this is especially terrifying given how competitive and expensive the market is. And add on top of that the distrust built up from the scam that is student loan debt. With that being said, I thought that I would be the only person I could rely on to look out for my best interests throughout the home-buying process, and holy crap was I wrong. I don't understand how Tressa and her team can have hearts so big to give all of her clients the support, attention, reassurance, and care that I received while working with them. While I was looking for a home, interests rates were increasing faster than they ever had in decades, but still Tressa fought like hell to find me the best rates. There were legitimately points when I was on the phone with her, trying to understand how she benefitted from giving me such unbelievable deals, only to find out the only reason was because, "It seems like you really need this and I want to help you." And as sellers were taking more and more protections away from buyers to squeeze every penny out of them, there was Tressa, in my corner, leaving no stone unturned to make sure I'd be safe if anything went south, putting her neck out there on my behalf. And each step of the process, whether via email, text, phone call, or video appointment, her team's communications were clear and frequent. This especially meat a lot to me as I was trying to close on a house while on a charity bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles! It felt like she and her team were always by my side, and I feel incredibly grateful to now be in a home that I love, only made possible by the tireless and selfless efforts by Tressa and her team. Just go ahead and work with her. You'd be sorely missing out if you didn't.

If I ever need to buy another home, I will choose no other than Brett as my mortgage originator. My agents introduced me to Brett. From the first call, I felt in good hands and signed up with him. He worked his magic with me, dedicated his time to review all my financial documents, came up with a game plan and made specific recommendations, I followed his recommendations, then he worked the magic on the back end with his underwriters, and qualified me for exactly what I was hoping for. He guided me every step of the way and he answered my calls and messages day and night, workdays and weekends, any day and any time. As far as I am concerned, he is a mortgage genius and next level CPA.
