    I don't use the word "extraordinary" lightly, but David Lerman and the CalUnion Funding team earned…read moreit. I came to David with a complex transaction -- purchasing a $2.7M owner-occupied property in the Coachella Valley that required creative financing, fast execution, and a team that could handle curveballs without flinching. David delivered on every single one. What sets David apart is not just his knowledge of the mortgage industry -- it is his character. When obstacles came up (and they did), David did not just solve them, he anticipated them. He moved mountains quietly, kept me calm, and never once made me feel like the deal had challenges even when the pressure was real. His team -- Lauren, Vicky, Ryan, and the entire CalUnion crew -- matched his energy every step of the way. Professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting this done. I closed on a stunning 5-acre estate in the Coachella Valley that will change my family's future! That does not happen without David Lerman and this incredible team. If you are looking for a lender who is a true partner -- not just a transaction processor -- stop looking. You found him. Five stars is not enough.

    My experience with CalUnion Funding was outstanding. Working with David was incredibly easy--he's…read moreknowledgeable, responsive, and truly made the entire process smooth. I highly recommend CalUnion Funding and David to anyone looking for exceptional service.

    Cricket Yee is the real deal…read more Buying a home is stressful. Cricket made it feel manageable - and even exciting. She is responsive, sharp, organized, and incredibly calm under pressure. Whenever something unexpected came up (and in real estate, something always does), she handled it immediately and strategically. She fought for us during negotiations, kept everything on track during escrow, and explained every step in plain English. We never felt lost or unsure about what was happening. Beyond the professionalism, she genuinely cares. You can tell she wants her clients to win, not just close. If you're buying or selling in LA, call Cricket. Period.

    I worked with this agent to list my rental properties in Winnetka, CA. My properties were not…read moreadvertised correctly on key platforms, including Apartments.com, Homes.com, and Zillow, which are among the most important channels for marketing rental listings. This negatively affected visibility and inquiries. When I raised these issues and requested corrections, the agent declined to address them, stating that it would take too much time and that technical personnel were unavailable. As a result, the inaccuracies remained unresolved. When I continued to follow up regarding these issues, the agent terminated the agency relationship, which caused delays in marketing my properties. She also suggested that my listings be transferred to more junior personnel within her brokerage rather than handling the matter herself. In addition, I gave clear instructions to restrict access to a separate furnished studio unit with valuable contents and specifically requested that the lockbox code be changed so contractors could not enter. Despite these instructions, after termination of my agreement she willfully made the key accessible to the contractors. In my experience, her conduct was unprofessional, including failing to correct listing errors, not following clear instructions regarding property access, and terminating the agency after concerns were raised. Based on my experience, there were significant lapses in responsiveness, follow-through, and adherence to client instructions.

    I was referred to Ricardo, the owner of feniks funding in Cerritos through a friend, they had done…read morebusiness before with refi's together and he had purchased cars from my friend working at a dealership. I reached out and told him that I wanted a refi on my current primary residence and was open to doing a refi on an old condo that I had if pricing made sense. I was urged to take money out on the low balance condo and did not want to do that and told his associate to move forward with my bigger loan and I might decide to refi the smaller condo but wanted to complete this specific loan 1st. After getting pricing which was good I was told that there would be no miscellaneous "b.s" fees by Ricardo, just the origination fee and standard fees that are necessary. After getting all the required info like tax statements, paystubs, home owners declarations and hoa info on the condo and whatever else needed I finally was at the point of appraisal and paid for it upfront as requested. After the appraisal the communication started to fall apart. I could not get a hold of anyone at this office including my referral and the other associate helping me (Devin P) Who I had spoken with throughout the whole process multiple times a week for probably 2 months or so. Finally after excuse after excuse I reached out to the only person there willing to help Amelia H. She assured me that all that was holding the process up was an error on the appraiser's side of things and it would be cleared up within a couple day's. Mind you at this point the reps at Feniks funding had been blaming the appraisal company for almost a month now and would not reply to my e mails, text or phone calls any longer. Finally after about another 2 weeks I had a blunt conversation with Ricardo and he stated that he was giving me such a good deal that he couldn't do just 1 loan and when he was told I was only doing 1 loan they let my lock expire, and apparently they were just afraid to tell me. At the time no one had told me my lock had expired and I was told I was just days away from signing final docs whenever I did get any response from anyone. I was furious at this point but tried to work with Ricardo to get a deal though rates had changed I wanted to just get this done because I was already over 3 months in at this time, already paid for the appraisal and rates had gone up and my loan was substantially higher at about 3.675% from when I bought the house. I am writing this review because I have never been jerked around and blatantly lied to like this. I am out the $450 for appraisal but just closed with loan depot with the same rates and substantially less fees and credits to offset my closing costs. savings in just fee's is almost $3,000 and it has been a great experience with loan depot. The way I got jerked around by Ricardo I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. When I was shopping for another lender he e mailed and text me out of the blue saying ok, we are ready with final docs. At the time it had been almost 5 months and all the figures changed on the new Le and were substantially higher than the fees others lenders where quoting me, including the initial fees they had promised me. Rates may change however fee's dont. My main motivation for this review which I will be posting wherever else I can is because I was jerked around for over 5 months, with them wasting my time and losing $450. My goal is to save as many people as I can from making the mistake I did and trusting them with my refi and personal information, do yourself a favor. Save time and money and go elsewhere. Do not give these unethical people your business. I can blow off the $450 they cost me but it's the time and stress that bothers me most. Please again do yourself a favor. Take your business elsewhere.
