When we signed documents, we were told that we would receive an emailed copy and I had to call 6 days later to get that. After I called, I only received the final settlement statement and not the full copy of documents that we signed. There was an unexpected charge on the final settlement statement and when I called to ask about it, they were not able to explain it but instead said someone other than our escrow officer would call me back. I am writing this about an hour later and have not heard back from them yet.

Her professionalism, patience, and attention to detail gave me confidence during what could have been a very overwhelming experience.

My transaction ended up being canceled, and during the process I requested to complete a standard wire. I was told I needed to notarize a form. That alone isn't unusual, but what is unusual is that this escrow company does not have a notary available on site unless you pay extra. Any professional escrow company I've ever worked with has a notary available as part of basic service. Here, they refused to do it unless I paid, which honestly felt cheap and unprofessional. In a transaction involving large sums of money, nickel-and-diming clients over something this basic is unacceptable. Between the lack of support and unnecessary friction, the process was frustrating from start to finish. I would not recommend this escrow company to anyone looking for a smooth or professional transaction.

The last time was a refinance of our own home that we used it to build an ADU on the back of our lot for our son and his family.

And all three of them have been so helpful whether we are doing more things on-line or back when almost everything was in person and signing multiple papers.

He was super patient with me even when I had to ask a bunch of pretty basic questions. I always looked forward to talking with him! Most importantly, John made it super easy and smooth to secure our mortgage -- even though we were first-time homebuyers without a huge down payment. John helped us determine a price range that was competitive yet comfortable for us, and I could tell that he has a strong sense of ethics and integrity in regards to these things. He actually cares, and that makes it easy to trust him. I am 1000000% certain that John had our best interest in mind. All in all, it was super easy to to get our loan arranged -- and we got a FANTASTIC rate! John even managed to get us a better rate than the one we'd initially agreed on after a few things changed with our escrow! Special shout-out to Gita for helping coordinate the many, many pieces of our transaction. Thank you both for getting us into our first home.

I've been working with this Realtor since 2019, and I honestly couldn't recommend him more…read more He helped me find an amazing home in April 2020, right at the start of COVID, when the market was chaotic and competition was fierce. Despite all that uncertainty, he stayed calm, strategic, and incredibly thorough, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel surprisingly manageable. He also guided me through selling another property and somehow made the entire transaction feel smooth and far less overwhelming than I expected. Since then, he's continued to be a valuable resource, providing thoughtful, data-driven insights on my current home's value and market trends. Most recently, he's been helping me analyze rental options for that same property, again bringing strong data, clear explanations, and practical advice to the table. He's extremely trustworthy, detail-oriented, and clearly invested in his clients' long-term success, not just a single transaction. On top of all that, his use of modern, state-of-the-art technology, including drone footage for listings, really sets him apart and results in beautiful, professional presentations. If you want a Realtor who is knowledgeable, honest, and backed by real data and smart tech, this is the person to work with. Highly recommended :)

Mike is simply the best realtor I have ever met. He represented me as a buyer, and from the very…read morefirst day I met him, he made a strong impression by telling me that transparency is the key to being a great realtor. It's clearly something he truly believes in, and he consistently practiced it throughout my entire home-buying process. Mike has every quality you would hope for in a professional agent, like strong local knowledge, excellent negotiation skills, and an incredibly strong network of trusted contacts. Any time I had questions about repairs, inspections, or even remodeling ideas, he could instantly recommend the right person to talk to. That made the whole experience so much easier and less stressful. However, what really sets Mike apart is how organized and proactive he is. He emailed me daily updates summarizing what had been completed, what was currently in progress, and what the next steps would be. That level of communication is rare, and it gave me a huge sense of confidence and trust. On top of that, whenever any issue came up, Mike would call me directly, explain the situation clearly, and work out a solution quickly. Every time, things were resolved shortly after our conversation. That's the kind of experience every buyer hopes to have during the home-buying process. As a result, the entire purchase felt incredibly smooth, efficient, and well-managed from start to finish. Mike was the second agent I worked with in San Diego, and I can confidently say I will stick with him for my next home purchase or sale. If you're looking for a realtor in San Diego who is honest, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely cares about his clients, I cannot recommend Mike highly enough!

My husband and I are both veterans and with no so great of credit score to begin with, even though the VA themselves don't really have a minimum credit score to qualify, unfortunately these other major companies do. So we were out of luck! We have-been wanting to a buy a home for the last 5 years and finally qualified by income but not by credit score it sucks. One of the local companies actually penalized us for having a lower score and added almost 10k to our closing costs. We quickly realized they were not trying to really help us. We actually were in the process of bettering our score. It just took months to show to technically qualify with these major companies. We were ready to just call it quits and I decided to try one more time and search another company. That's when I saw MLH and they even give you credit as a thank you towards closing costs which is a great help when you don't really know the process of buying a home and get surprised by closing costs LOL. Eric Edwards our Loan Officer contacted me right away and asked questions about me and family and the whole home buying situation. I told him everything especially about our score and he told me that the minimum and I was definitely not that bad and that there were no penalties for having a lower score. From there forth I went them as our lenders. Eric picked almost every-time I called with questions whether it was big or small or really stupid ones that I just didn't really know and he educated us and explain things to the T! He gave us options and gave great advice. Even my realtor agent loves this company's communication. They are on top of everything in the process of home buying. I may be a first time home buyer but the energy and care and support they provide is beyond the standard. I am truly amazed and thankful to these guys especially to Eric Edwards and Shiraney Sims for the communication and quick answers. My real estate agent and I definitely recommend them.
