After 12 years of consistently good service at the Thousand Oaks Logix branch, I'm shocked at how…read morebadly things went during a recent visit. My mom and adult daughter--a long‑time customer--came in for a simple appointment to open a new joint account. What should have taken minutes turned into an hour of condescension and obstruction from the teller, Chris. Instead of helping them through a routine process, he questioned their ability to "manage the account," spoke down to them, and dragged out every step. These are two fully capable women who have handled their finances for years, yet they were treated as if they were incompetent. The tone was dismissive, patronizing, and frankly humiliating. It wasn't until I left work and came in myself--calm, direct, and simply insisting the account be opened--that anything actually moved forward. Only then did Chris suddenly become able to do the job he should have done from the start. The whole experience felt disrespectful and unnecessary. After more than a decade of loyalty, this was enough to make me ready to take my business elsewhere. If you value being treated with basic respect, be cautious about using Logix Credit Union.

We just got to step into our new home for the first time--still can't believe it all came together!…read moreBecause we owned a second home out of state and the conforming loan limits in our new area were lower, this wasn't a straightforward mortgage. Several lenders made the process feel overly complicated, but Mark was incredibly resourceful and got it done smoothly. He went above and beyond to find solutions, secure a great rate, and guide us through each step. His responsiveness and clear communication made a big difference throughout the process. We're truly grateful for his help and will definitely reach out again when the rate environment improves. Thanks again, Mark!

Mike and JB helped us with a refinance. It was the smoothest financing experience I've experienced,…read moreMike was very thorough explaining the process, our options and walked us step by step. JB helped us with gathering documentation and closing docs. Entire process was a few weeks long and was very straight forward. They got us great rates and found us a great lender. Would highly recommend the team for a home purchase our refinance.

My wife and I just closed on our first home, and got our mortgage through Neil and his team…read more We were beyond impressed with Community First Mortgage, and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a mortgage broker. Neil walked us through every step of the process and was incredibly responsive. As first-time homebuyers, there were lots of things we didn't understand and Neil took the time to explain things clearly. We felt confident we were getting the best rates, and had the best team working hard for us. For reference - it took us FOUR days to get our loan "cleared to close" from the day our offer was accepted. We had a 14-day escrow period, and our loan was ready to close well in advance. That was an incredible feat by the Community First Mortgage team, and took a ton of pressure off of us with such an aggressive escrow timeline. Lastly, Neil also recommended our real estate agent, who was another incredible addition to our team. The folks at Community First Mortgage have a five star rating for a reason, we could not have been happier with the service we received and look forward to working with them next time we are in need of mortgage brokerage services.

Bruno Pastor handled everything for us and from the initial call, through a dicey escrow with seller and appraisal issues, all the way to the close, Bruno made the whole process easy and stress-free. He was there for us for questions big and small and made a normally anxious experience into a pleasure. Even our real estate agent was impressed with his quick response times and attention to detail. A big thanks to Magnus, and Bruno especially, for helping us get into the home of our dreams!

If you have the strangest, most difficult property that you want to purchase in the state of…read moreCalifornia and you need someone who will shop and shop and shop again until he finds the financing you need, look no further than Marc. Mixed use property is unusual on the West Coast. Marc was able to find one of the few companies that actually want to help buyers like me, who want to invest in mixed use. It was a nail biter but he got the job done and that is golden.

My wife and I recently purchased a home in Ventura and worked with Marc on our home mortgage. Marc…read morewas extremely responsive, very knowledgeable, patient, and persistent on our behalf. The loan process can be daunting and it's so important to work with someone you feel like you can trust and has your best interests in mind. Our loan process required that we move very quickly and navigate some relatively complex issues and I'm not sure we would have been able to make it happen if it weren't for Marc. If you're looking for someone to be your advocate through the financing process, that will treat you with respect, that is unswervingly professional and pleasant to deal with, and will deliver as promised, look no further than Marc Lisheski.

She was thorough, kind, and even gave me tips to help me in my assessment - ideas for comparison, tips on questions to ask, etc. I knew immediately she was the one for me! Throughout the house hunting and buying process, Amy was kind and attentive. She worked closely with my chosen realtor, would text me updates, was responsive to my questions, and proved her expertise at every step. Buying your first home is very stressful, but Amy and my realtor made all the difference to ensure that I had a smooth process and no stress! Additionally, her team was also very helpful and easy to work with. All around great experience! Thank you, Amy!

They don't call her "the closer" for nothing!…read more We purchased our first home earlier this year on a VA Loan. Prior to Amy, all other loan officers were weary of our VA loan, basically shunning us off that we'll never close a home in time to meet the seller's need and would take up to 60 days to close. Well it's their loss because Amy helped us to close in 28 days on a VA Loan! Amy is super sweet, professional and very helpful. She continues to leave a lasting impression on us (which you'll only know if you go though her)! ;)

I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Mayen at CSMC mortgage. WOW. He was the best…read moreand he made the process so easy for us. We are first time home buyers and he explained each step of the process, so we knew exactly what to expect. He got things done in such a timely manner and helped us secure our dream house. I am forever grateful. He taught us so much about the process that we were unfamiliar with. I've rented for 10 years, so all of this was new to me, but Mayen was available to answer any questions we had and even anticipated most and got us the information ahead of time. Unmatched service. Highly recommend!

Could not have picked a better mortgage broker! Justin is one of a kind. He was incredible to work…read morewith, so approachable and walked us through every step. He worked weekends & holidays for us (Christmas & Christmas Eve). He was always available, gave advice when we needed it and treated us like family. He made buying our first home easy with no surprises. He was upfront, honest and knew and communicated exactly what he could do for us. Our close was less than 20 days and Justin made it stress free. We are lucky to have found him. He came highly recommended by a friend of ours who has used him multiple times and we would recommend him to anyone and definitely use him again.

Justin just helped me close on my home and I couldn't have had a smoother experience. He was so…read moreincredibly patient with me despite my 1000000 questions, because as I regrettably learned, majoring in finance in college 20 years ago means nothing when you're trying to figure out what an interest rate is for a mortgage. I had so many questions and as a millennial, I dodged all calls, but Justin remained incredibly patient with me. He was never condescending, even when explaining the most basic concepts of a mortgage, and I felt like he was truly looking out for me and in this to help me get the best rate out there. I think trust is something that's not easily won these days, and I wholeheartedly trust Justin to help me and anyone who's lucky enough to find him in the future. There are a lot of lenders out there, a lot of big companies that will pull a bait and switch on you, as I discovered in my home buying experience, and that's why I appreciated working with Justin so much. He was always up front about expectations, good and bad; above all else, I trust his integrity. He was looking out for me as a person with unique needs and personal challenges and trying to help me make the right personal decision with no pressure. I know I would not have gotten that with some random lender advertising on the internet out to make a quick buck. Thank you for helping me through this incredibly challenging process, Justin.

They were never pushy or rushed us but made sure to reach out if we had any questions or wanted info on various scenarios. When we had an offer accepted and were ready to start getting serious, Laura sat down with us to go over everything and made sure we had and understood all the information needed to make the best decision. She even provided a handy notebook with all the info she shared along with our scenarios and kept us informed throughout the process. As you can imagine, buying a home can be a stressful process, but Laura and her team were very accommodating, calm and friendly. We are so glad we worked with Laura and her team and would definitely recommend her!
