He truly looks out for your best interests and tailors solutions to your specific goals rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach. The fact that I continue to return to Renzo says it all.

I worked with Marina Oliver and Shell Contizano on a cash-out refinance for one of my vacation rental properties. Because the property has an ADU and my financials involved multiple businesses, a standard loan wouldn't work. Marina expertly guided us into a DSCR loan. Along the way, our title report pulled up an old judgment that wasn't mine and a pending insurance lawsuit. Where other lenders would have backed out or delayed for months, Shell and Marina communicated clearly, told me exactly what documentation they needed (like an identity affidavit and an attorney letter), and pushed the file through underwriting without missing a beat. They put in the elbow grease and got it done. Five stars all the way. Mahalo!

First, he helped us find and buy our very first townhome, and six years later, he guided us to our dream primary residence. What makes Mike truly exceptional is not just his depth of knowledge in real estate, but also his expertise as a lender. He took the time to ensure we understood every aspect of our loan--not just the numbers, but the strategy behind choosing the right terms for our long-term goals. Beyond that, he helped us think outside the typical inspection process, connecting us with specialists so we had a complete and well-rounded understanding of the home before making such a big decision. Mike is remarkably patient, always available (even for early-morning calls or late-night questions), and his approach is refreshingly thorough and considerate. He doesn't just want to close a deal--he genuinely cares that his clients make smart, well-informed choices. If you're looking for someone who is as knowledgeable as they come and has an unmatched commitment to your best interests, Mike is as patient, caring, and knowledgeable as they come.

Some of the initial lenders would make the initial contact and then drop us off their radar and from the others we would simply not hear back from them. After some online searches I found Anita and her team. I submitted an inquiry and Anita quickly reached back out to me, ensured that her team would take care of us and let me know that I could call her or her team with any questions or concerns we might have. I immediately realized that her team would be the lender that would get us ready for our home search. We began the underwriting process and their dashboard made it extremely easy to upload and sign documents. Very user friendly! I had a ton of questions and would keep reaching out to Anita and she would gladly provide her recommendation and feedback. After about a week or so, I had reached out to her again and let her know that we needed a new agent and then she recommended us to an amazing realtor, Veronica Morin. We went on one day of showings (it was a Monday). Then, that same week on Wednesday, we submitted an offer on a house and by Thursday of the same week we were in escrow. I give credit to Anita's team which had us ready to close escrow in 17 days and also Veronica's constant communication with the seller's agent for getting us our home in such a quick and painless process. Special shout out to Anita's team who would constantly call for updates and reminders to help us stay on top of our escrow process! Really appreciated that I could call them for any updates and go the extra mile to ensure nothing got delayed with escrow. If we wouldn't have documents or something was missing, he would make the necessary calls and get the ball moving again. Truly appreciate Cardinal Financial for taking care of us the whole way through and not just seeing us as another job. My wife and I extremely recommend them for your home buying needs!

I am a worrier by nature and Anita and her team were able to walk me through ever step and answer ever question no matter the time or place! Words cannot express my gratitude to this amazing team and if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. If I ever need to buy another home (hopefully not in the near future), I know Anita and her team will be there to continue to support me!! If your looking to buy or refinance, this is truly the team you need to turn to!!

Andre made us feel less stressed when making decisions and truly took the time to explain every step along the way. He seriously was only ever a phone call or text away. Andre is amazing!

Buying a house for the first time can definitely be a super intimidating process. The process of getting a loan and finding a payment that works into your budget can be an overwhelming experience. With over 26 years of experience in loans, Andre's expertise truly guided us through this process. He was extremely patient, kind, professional, and time-sensitive throughout the entire process. It is rare in the professional world to find someone who gets the ball rolling as quickly and with gazelle-intensity as Andre does. Andre was extremely transparent and honest throughout the whole process and got things done in an extremely time-efficient manner. Andre is the kind of team player that you want on your side of the transaction, as he frequently is the first one to follow up on your loan before anyone else is able to in order to ensure that the process rolls smoothly and quickly. Our loan had some pretty aggressive deadlines, and Andre exceeded those deadlines and got things turned around immediately. As a first-time homebuyer, Andre answered all of our questions with patience and with kindness, something that is rare to find in today's world. We are absolutely thrilled with the service Andre was able to provide to us!

I first contacted them in late July after her passing and followed their instructions to mail the required documents. Despite sending the packages to the address provided, I was later told nothing was received. Over the next month I emailed and called several times, but responses were slow, sometimes taking several days if at all, and the information provided was often incomplete. Each time I thought I was making progress, they would never respond to confirm it. After weeks of delays I decided to drive from Los Angeles to their Mission Valley location in San Diego to resolve the matter in person. When I arrived I was told I still needed additional documents. This was especially frustrating because I had emailed the day before to confirm everything was in order and was not informed of this. The only positive part of this experience was working with Tron at the Mission Valley branch. He went above and beyond, even staying after his shift ended to help me complete everything. He was empathetic, efficient, and made sure I left with the situation resolved. I want to acknowledge him by name because his professionalism and compassion stood out compared to the challenges I faced with member services. Overall I would caution others who need to handle account transfers after a family member's passing. Be prepared for delays, lack of communication, and missing information. Unless you go in person, expect a long and frustrating process.
