Straight forward communication and the have nice tools that allow you to consider several options when considering the loan terms. Brady hasa productive team. I will work with them again. read more

Brady and Team Thomas were a pleasure to work with. I decided to go with Brady because I'm a person who asks a lot of questions and he was able to patiently explain financial concepts, as well as look at the big picture and help us take a strategic approach to mortgage decisions. The team is made up of excellent project managers and great communicators (who are all in sync with one another.) The process was pretty painless and as stress-free as possible for such an important purchase. I also LOVED the donation at the end. What a great way to connect with and put down roots in your new community. read more

I couldn't ask for a better mortgage loan experience than working with Brady and his team. They were always available and flexible in what ended up being complex negotiations with the seller. They always kept me apprised of the progress of the loan and took the time to patiently explain exactly what was required on my end. I highly recommend their services! read more

We could not recommend Brady and his team more highly! He made the loan application process simple and understandable for first time homebuyers and went above and beyond to help us secure our home purchase. Thank you so much for your responsiveness and kindness Brady! read more

My husband and I had a great experience with Brady and Laura and the whole team. They were always on top of what we needed to do. They made the process run smoothly. Can't recommend them more highly. read more

Brady and his team made the home lending process a breeze. Prompt responses and crystal clear communications / instructions. Would highly recommend for East Bay buyers! read more

Brady and team were amazing! They were integral to a seamless transaction and speedy closing. Also, as first time home buyers, Brady's guidance and advice was both needed and appreciated. I would recommend Brady and his team to ANYONE. Moreover, their communication and quick response to all of our questions was excellent! 100% / A+ marks across the board! read more

Brady and Team Thomas have been just amazing to work with. They've stuck with us for 5 years as we've hunted for the perfect home for us. They were able to help us with an exceptionally short close to help sweeten our offer in a highly competitive market and hit every milestone as expected and kept us up to date daily. exceptionally professional from start to finish. we won't use anyone else. read more

I came to Brady because he was recommended by two of my friends who closed homes with his help and I agree with their favorable opinions. Brady and team did a great job helping me determine the best type of loan and was able to close on time despite two unexpected events (home not appraising enough and issue with rental documents) - neither which were his team's fault - yet it was on him to do the work to meet the deadline. read more

Highly recommend Brady and Team! As first time home-buyers we had a lot of questions--Brady was patient, knowledgeable, and explained things clearly. The team handled our short closing timeline seamlessly. They were great about communication and transparency in the process and offered solid advice at the decision points, coming from their deep experience. A very positive experience! read more

We were recommended Brady and his team by our realtor. This was our first home purchase, and it can be pretty intimidating particularly in this market. Brady was super helpful throughout the entire process. From the beginning he was transparent about the various factors affecting financing, and on multiple occasions took the time to talk us through the specifics of various decisions, making sure that we understood everything. Bidding was competitive, and Brady's close relationships with the agents in the area was really helpful during the stressful process in making sure we were able to put in a winning bid on a house we loved. And all the way through to closing Brady and his team were always very communicative, available to answer questions, and a real pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend Brady wholeheartedly and would definitely work with him and his team again. read more

Brady and Team Thomas are the real deal! I cannot even begin to articulate just how competent, efficient, and impressive they are. Incredibly detail-oriented so that you don't have to be. We originally worked with Brady and co in 2014 when purchasing our first home. Flash forward to July 2020, during a global pandemic no less, and they helped take us over the finish line as we sold our original home, and bought our next one in record time. We are forever grateful for how hard Team Thomas worked for us and recommend them without a shadow of a doubt! read more

From beginning to end, Team Thomas helped curate a seamless and fast first time home purchase with a great interest rate!

Brady, Elizabeth, Lindsey and the rest of Team Thomas are amazing! They clearly explained each step of the process, answered all of our questions, got us a good rate, and followed up even after closing. Homebuying is a stressful process, I would highly recommend you reach out to Team Thomas! read more

This review is so late, sorry Brady. I needed some MAJOR dental work and decided to refi my house and use some of my equity to pay for it. Problem is that I'm retired so my tax returns don't reflect my true economic situation. Add to that three major holidays, COVID, and a rate lock deadline. Oh, and a HELOC that I really needed to keep open after the refi. Despite all of these obstacles Brady and Elizabeth Bernal expedited this in a transparent and highly professional way. I don't know what the outcome would have been had I gone to someone else. Brady and his team really delivered for me. I don't have enough good things to say about them. I highly recommend them with no reservation. read more

Brady and his team were phenomenal to work with. Super communicative and answered my questions every step of the way. As a first-time homebuyer, learning this process can be intimidating, but Brady and his team laid everything out very clearly. Would highly recommend! read more

We just finally are somewhat "settled" into our new home so now have time to do all the reviews and what not. Had a good experience with Brady and team from the start in our home search and purchase process. Our family appreciated the initial video call with Brady so that we could put a face to the name. He was very patient and knowledgeable and walked us through his and his teams approach and what we could expect. We had a several months home search with a few offers that didn't stick and with each one Team Thomas was on it working with us and realtor team. Thanks for helping us in the process of acquiring our new home! We also love that you all give back to the community as a thank you. read more

Once again, we had a great experience with Brady and his team. A year-and-a-half ago they helped us get the right loan for our circumstances when we purchased our new home before we sold our old home. This time, we refinanced the house after making significant improvements to it. They were outstanding again working with me to get the perfect loan, even canceling a loan with one lender when the interest rates dropped sufficiently that it was worth making the jump. His team was great always responding quickly even under the challenging COVID-19 circumstances. When the closing costs ended up adding up to slightly higher than his estimate, he refunded the overage. They were all great and I would happily recommend them to anyone or use them again in the future. read more

This team led by Brady Thomas are the dream team! As nerve wracking as it can be for a first time home buyer, they were extremely patient, informative, knowledgeable and committed to helping me every step of the way. If I could give them more then 5 stars, I would. 10's across the board. Thank you all for making my long time goal a reality and for calming my nerves - hehe.. I made it to my goal - and not without your support! Truly appreciate you all! read more

Brady + Team Thomas were incredibly helpful when my spouse and I were buying a home just as the markets tanked and we all began to shelter in place due to COVID-19. They helped us secure the best financing, communicated clearly and often, didn't sugarcoat complicated news, and were responsive throughout all the steps after our offer had been accepted to post-closing. We loved working with them so much that our agent enjoyed the partnership, too (so much better than the banks!). Strong recommendation -- look into Team Thomas. They're knowledgable, responsive, client-focused, and will get you the best options. read more

La Salle Mortgage was a pleasure to work with. Brady and Laura were particularly responsive, helpful, and encouraging. Their app for facilitating the loan application process worked smoothly. We recommend them. read more

Brady, Liz and the rest of the team were very helpful to us, especially since I was a first time homebuyer. Brady was always available to answer my questions, and explain the process. He (and Liz) even explained how the market affects my mortgage interest rates and supported me to "float" for a few days before locking in a rate for my loan. The entire process was very confusing, but I always trusted that Team Thomas had my best interests in mind and were taking care of the details. read more

My partner, Kress, and I have been referring Team Thomas to our clients since we first worked with them back in 2012. Brady and his team are client focused. They are courteous, attentive, accurate and most importantly, when they promise, they deliver. There are many good lending choices out there, but you'd be hard pressed to find anyone else of this quality and caliber. read more

Brady, Laura, and everyone at Team Thomas were so helpful for us in the process of being first time home buyers in the crazy Bay Area market. It has now been 6 months since we bought our house and I am embarrassed it is just now that I'm sitting down to write this review because there isn't a day that goes by that my husband and I don't look at each other and marvel at how happy we are not to be renting anymore. We took the plunge after 20 years of imagining what it might be like to be homeowners and feeling really intimidated by the entire process. Brady was very patient with us as we made two false starts before finally being ready to start putting in offers. Each time our financial situation changed, he helped us know what our options were. I don't suggest wasting his valuable time if you're not serious but he was kind both times when we realized we weren't yet in a position to buy. They know what they're doing and they'll hold your hand through the whole process. I can't say its fun, but it wasn't painful, and on the other side, I am very glad we worked with the rad folks at Team Thomas to get through it. Thanks y'all! read more

Brady and his team are as good as it gets. My spouse and I are rarely impressed when we hire vendors as we both are very detail-oriented and expect excellence of ourselves and of others. Well, we never had a shimmer of a doubt that were not in the very best of hands with Brady and his team. From the start, Brady did a fantastic job of understanding our needs and provided us mapped out scenarios for all of our options when it came to buying our 2nd home and either keeping our 1st home or selling it. His verbal and written communications are outstanding and he is incredible responsive. Once we were in contract, his team kicked into gear and we were completely impressed with how instep they all were with each other and every individual on that team clearly reflects Brady's level of excellence. Needless to say, funding went without a single hitch and this buying process compared to when we bought our first house (with a different agent and broker) was incomparable. Easy as pie. Oh, and all of this during a global pandemic and with the world upon it's head. We will recommend Team Thomas to every single friend and family member looking for a mortgage broker. read more

They make it seem like they are ready to help, but the team was unresponsive to a couple of us resulting in missed home buying opportunities. read more

Team Thomas has your back. We bought our first home with little to no idea about the process. He is available 24/7 and makes everything so easy to understand. He constantly is emailing you updates which makes it feel like you are truely a part of the process. I still don't understand much about buying a home but I give my absolute confidence in Team Thomas to help us with our future home buying. I could not have asked for a better loan agent out there. read more

I closed on a condo this past Monday, the day before the county shut down for at least the next few weeks for "shelter in place". I am very grateful to have had Team Thomas on my side. I have no doubt that, if I had chosen a different mortgage lender, my close would not have happened, and I would be in limbo right now as everything is put on hold for "shelter in place". I am a first time home buyer and had an aggressive ~2 week close schedule. In all, I contacted three mortgage lenders. Team Thomas stood out in their thoroughness, willingness to explain, and, through my interactions with them, a sense that I was working with good people (I did NOT get this impression from my interactions with Quicken or the other mortgage lender I contacted). When I made my offer, Team Thomas was traveling for Brady's wedding. Despite traveling, his team made themselves available, taking calls even while they were en route to the ceremony. This team works hard! (Fortunately, it seems Brady took some time off to attend his own wedding.) I am very glad my real estate agent recommended Brady. I had a great experience working with him, Lindsey, and Elizabeth. I highly recommend! read more

As a first time home buyer, I did not know what to expect with the loan approval process and only heard how invasive and uncomfortable it would be. However, after working with Brady and team it was not nearly as rough as I was expecting. I 100% credit this to Brady and his team. They would send detailed emails about: 1) what to expect, 2) patiently explained and walked me through the process, and 3) provided very clear instructions what I needed to provide and when. On top of all that, he secured a great rate for me and I can't recommend Brady and his team highly enough. Thank you again for making the process smooth and stress free! read more

Buying a house is stressful. There are so many moving parts and it's easy to get overwhelmed. Enter Team Thomas - Their responsiveness, patience, and knowledge was invaluable throughout the entire process. I had many trivial questions that were thoughtfully and thoroughly answered. We were able to close in a timely manner and they helped lock in a great rate. I'd recommend Team Thomas to anyone looking for a competent and trustworthy loan advisor. read more

Brady asks for a lot of documentation upfront, but all for good reason. His thoroughness is exactly what is needed to ensure a smooth loan process. His team is organized, detail oriented and responsive, also exactly what is needed in good mortgage broker team. The mortgage rates were competitive. I would work with Team Thomas again. read more

I have worked with Brady and his team three times now including home purchase and refinance, and every time they have knocked it out of the park. Brady's advice is always spot on, and he proactively recommends what is best for the client. Their rates are competitive, and the best part is that the whole team is always communicative, keeping me posted on what the next steps are. It's very helpful to have that guidance especially if you are new to homebuying and not always sure of how things work. I will keep coming back! read more

Team Thomas was very helpful, friendly and responsive during our mortgage process. They helped us early on to get all of our stuff together and get pre-approved so that we had a really strong offer on our house. They walked us through the approval and title process, acted as the go-between with the bank and title company so we only had to provide our information to one person, and kept in close contact with us when our closing date was delayed for a day because the bank didn't fund in time. Thank you, we are so excited to move into our new house! read more

Brady and team were super helpful and available to help with the complicated process of obtaining a mortgage. Highly recommended!

Brady, Lindsey and the rest of the gang were amazing when it came to securing us a loan for our first home purchase. As first time home buyers, you can feel completely inundated by all the paperwork that's involved, but team Brady made everything as smooth as it could be. We bid on 4 houses and each time they provided valuable support, helping us understand the process and going over adjustable spreadsheets so we could calculate our mortgage estimates with each minor change. He even went so far as to call one seller's agent (unsolicited) to confirm that we had the funds necessary and that they had no doubt we'd be able to close on time. In this crazy Bay Area market, you need someone fast, thorough, and responsive in your corner, and Team Thomas delivers all that and more. Hopefully we won't have to buy another house anytime soon, but if we did, I would 100% use Brady and his team again. THANK YOU! read more

Purchased a new home with LaSalle and couldn't be more happy with the rates, process, communication, and professionalism. Highly recommend this lender! read more

Highly recommend! Brady and Laura were so patient with all of our questions and addressing our concerns. Brady made himself so available to us, holding our hands through this very complicated and overwhelming process and helping us feel equipped and empowered with clear and orienting information read more

Team Thomas did a fantastic job helping us find a mortgage for our new home! We were first time home buyers and Brady spent plenty of time explaining the process to us. He is very thorough, clear, and approachable. His team worked extra hard when we had an opportunity to close early. That really helped our move go smoother. They also have a great mission of giving back ($250 donation to our favorite charity org at the end of close). Would highly recommend! read more

Buying a house is probably one of the most important and most expensive purchases that a lot of us will get in a whole life-time. So you really can't underestimate the importance of people that you will choose to help you on that journey! Especially in a crazy Bay Area market!!! Brady Thomas and his Team are everything you could wish for in a process of getting a mortgage for your future house! Brady was pretty much the first person that we talked to and I knew right away that I wanted to work with them. They got us pre-approved and showed us multiple options that we could've gone with, they explained all the calculations and scenarios, so when we started bidding on houses we knew exactly where we stand. We won the bidding war with a second offer because we liked the house so much we were willing to bid the max and Brady's Team were supporting us throughout the whole process! They get job DONE! Buying a house was my biggest goal and dream for the last 7 years and dreams do come true! - you just need to pick the right professionals to work with! Thank you to La Salle Mortgage, Brady, Elizabeth and the rest of the Team! We're beyond excited to move into our new home and can't be more appreciative! read more

Brady and his team were excellent on getting us to close in 15 days. We went with the TBD approval process which allowed us to offer a 14 day close. We were delayed a day due to how crazy the refinance market has been over the last couple of months as rates dropped precipitously, but Brady and team were able to expedite it and get it done. The rates generally seemed reasonable compared to what I was seeing offered online, but unfortunately, there isn't much transparency in this area; but that's a knock against the general industry, not Brady & team. With how much of a seller's market it is, I would highly recommend using a local lender like Brady who can provide quick, personable and reliable service rather than directly with a bank, even if the bank will give you a better rate. You can always refinance with another bank later on. Upon close, he also donates $250 to a charity of your choice, which I thought was awesome. read more
