Our family is living happily ever after in a beautiful home. This couldn't have happened without Jonathan and is team. Jonathan made us feel we were his only client. Extremely attentive and detailed to our needs. Jonathan went above and beyond for us. Saying "thank you" doesn't cover the gratitude we have for Jonathan and his hard work to place us in a home greater than our expectations. read more

Same review I posted to Google! My husband and I got our first ever home loan through Augusta Financial. At the same time, a friend of ours was buying a home and after we "secured" our rate with Dwayne, we found out that there were LOWER rates which could have saved us THOUSANDS because our friends got a significantly lower rate at almost the same time (within a week). Augusta Financial clearly did not have our best interests at heart. They came recommend by the real estate agent of my husband's family and we trusted him, so lesson learned to not trust the family realtor and do our own research. My husband did not want to start the process over elsewhere with the amount of time we had already spent and as we had found a home we wanted to purchase at a more or less affordable price. Also, they did not tell us our loan would be IMMEDIATELY sold to another company. We already had set up automatic payments and got notification in the mail 2 weeks after we moved into our new home that the loan was sold. Dwayne also could not spell in almost any email we received from him, which personally irritated me. Grammarly is free. Attention to detail was not strong and everything he required was always urgent, but when we needed an answer to something he was nowhere to be found until it was convent for him. I also had to explain things several times to several different people at Augusta Financial like they do not communicate with one another there... Overall, I would say we had a rough first mortgage loan experience and do not recommend Augusta Financial. Take your chances with them as they do not look for the best rate for you, and they do not give you all the information upfront unless you know what to ask for; as first time home buyers, we did not know what to ask and there is A LOT of information out there and so much to understand that it can be very overwhelming for first time homebuyers. read more

I can't say enough good things about Andy Green and his team. They deserve every one of these five stars. Andy was transparent, diligent, and incredibly proactive, ensuring everything was handled smoothly. He helped my client secure a non-warrantable condo in Valley Village and closed escrow when other mortgage companies couldn't get it done. As a local Los Angeles realtor, having Andy and his team as my preferred vendor is a huge asset. Thank you, Andy, for your outstanding work! www.EpicRealtyLA.com read more

I had worked with Peter Cosfol from Augusta Financial on a reverse mortgage back in 2020 and they definitely helped us out. I reached out to Peter in late October 2025 inquiring if Augusta Financial were doing personal loans but that is a product that they do not offer. Peter suggested to look into federal credit unions since they have great loan rates vs. banks. I did reach out to a federal credit union that I was a member of. Through Peter's suggestion, I was successful and obtaining a personal loan and I am grateful to Peter for taking the time to point me in the right direction! read more

As first-time homebuyers, we honestly couldn't have done this without Jordan and his amazing team at Augusta Financial. From day one, Jordan took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense, which really helped take the stress out of such a complicated process. He was patient with all of our questions, made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way, and kept things moving quickly and smoothly. Even though the process is overwhelming, they made it feel a lot more manageable because we knew we were in good hands. We're so grateful for all the care, effort, and support Jordan and his team put into helping us get our home loan. We can't recommend them enough, especially to anyone buying their first home! read more

Augusta was recommended to us by our Rockstar real estate agent, Cherrie and Zach from NextHome Real Estate. Our Augusta Lender was Steve Tampus with Richard Terrazas assisting him. Both Steve and Richard were great in terms of professionalism, responsiveness, and quality of their loan products. Steve helped us on the weekend when we ready to make an offer and needed to know what we were qualified up to, and Richard was also available when we needed him. I also liked their secure website with document upload capability. I would recommend Augusta to anyone whether you are purchasing small, big, or have great credit or some challenges! read more

Our experience was bad with Augusta Financial. We were constantly chasing down our rep and he failed to get back to us so many times, we decided to shop elsewhere. We have narrowed it down to Loan Depot and we have been very happy with their proactive and professional interaction so far. Several realtor friends recommended Augusta, and we will be sharing our experience with them and recommending Loan Depot instead of Augusta. read more

We first were recommended to Steve Tampus around December 2020, by a realtor we were working with via Redfin/NextHome apps. It was originally our intention to keep our first home, and buy a second as our mortgage officer at the time said it shouldn't be a problem after reviewing our finances. We were all set to go with our original lender when Steve came in and promised he could close just as fast, and also get our downpayment from 20% down to 15%. Our realtor also advised us that it would be better to work with a local lender as our offer may not be taken seriously by the buyer of our dream home. While this advice rubbed us the wrong way, we chose Steve anyway because we had missed a few homes in November from overbid offers. He ensured us that while we were both at new jobs for over 6 months, our six months of paystubs and our taxes should be sufficient in getting our loan processed. After reviewing our file over the weekend, he advised us that we would need to sell our first home in order to qualify for the lower downpayment. We wanted this house so bad, we had our agent list our first home, and accepted the first offer tossed our way because we didn't want our home sale to affect the closing of our new dream home. After weeks of going back and forward with Steve's team, and getting our first home into Escrow, we were now almost at the end of week 2 for our Escrow. Steve informed us underwriter was reviewing our files and we should know by this coming Monday (1/3/21). It was Tuesday 1/4/21, when we received the grim news. The underwriter declined our loan because they did not like that my wife was making more income then I. We even had the owner of our company write a letter explaining why she was hired with a higher pay. We were on a trip in Tahoe with our kids when we received the bad news and it seems discriminatory that they would call my wife's pay "fishy". Thankfully, we did not lose our dream home as we went back to our original lender (C2 Financial Corp), and fortunately they were so good that they were able to close in TEN days without any hiccups. Steven's team never even refunded back the inspection that his team ordered and never used. We will work on charging this back, as they never return calls or emails. TLDR: Was all set to offer on our dream home, but our showing agent recommended using a local lender to be taken seriously. Steve and team were responsive originally, but as the weeks went on and the escrow clock was ticking they failed us in the worse way possible. We could still have our first home, and not just our dream home had we not listened to these people. The whole ordeal felt shady, almost mafia like. Even the buyers of our current home did not like anyone from Augusta and Keller Williams VIP. read more

I purchased a home in Burbank and Augusta was our lender! It was a very unusual sale, a probate sale. Jordan Must was hands down the most PROFESSIONAL man I have ever dealt with. He helped us move through this very emotional and difficult sale with ease! I highly recommend Augusta Financial and I will be back if I ever need another mortgage! read more

So I will say that the first time we worked with August, I was absolutely blown away by how incredible they were. It was honestly some of the best customer I've ever experienced. Which maybe is why I was so shocked at how terrible it was the second time around. I know they are busy with rates being so low, but to go 11+ days and not hear from anyone is just back customer service. I've worked in customer service for 10-15 years and customers want to feel valued and informed. When I decided to end the transaction, I did so via email, and my point of contact called me that day and ignored my email entirely and when I repeated over the phone why I wanted to end the transaction she basically told me that's how it is because they are busy. So I did her a favor and took one more file off her desk. I used to recommend them to everyone, now I cannot. read more

A+ service start to finish with all my clients. Mike and his team are always a phone call away to guide you through the process. Mike is very knowledgeable in all aspects in the mortgage industry. THANK YOU Augusta Financial read more

Augusta Financial fell FAR FAR short of what I expected when I decided to work with them. CUSTOMER SERVICE LACKED BIG TIME. Frankly, if I was not so busy I probably would have and should have gone with another company. They basically did the least amount of work for me in the maximum amount of time they could. I first contacted Steve Tampus mid-July for a mortgage refinance. I was very prompt in getting him and his assistant the documents they needed but I had to send several emails to even get a response from them. The loan didn't fund until the end of October, literally the last day that the payoff quote to my original lender would expire. And even more frustrating was that I was promised that I would not have to pay a mortgage for October and November, which I relied on... and even followed up with Steve once I started getting late payment notices from my original lender asking "are you sure I don't have to pay October?" He assured me that I did not. I later come to find out that included in my closing costs are the late payment fees!!! So I sent an email to Steve asking for the costs of the late payment fee--a small drop in the bucket of the closing fees they charged me--and here I am a month later WITHOUT HAVING HEARD A WORD back. I guess this is the type of company that honestly does not care about their clients a smidgeon more than they have to in order to close a deal and get their money. YOU HAVE SEVERAL BETTER OPTIONS. CHOOSE ANOTHER. read more

I have known Peter Cosfol for several years and they have finance several homes for me and recently did a refinance to lower my payments. Peter and his team were on it the entire time. To top it off this was a VA refinance and Peter kept me updated at every step. We closed on the original promised date and the process was as smooth as it could possibly be! Do yourself a favor and reach out to Peter and allow him to earn your trust and your business not only now but into the future as well. Thanks Peter! read more

Andy Boron and his fantastic and incredibly sweet team rockstar Stacey helped me secure what I needed in this tricky market to make my dream home purchase a reality! Soo much soo these guys have an open invite to all my social events! Their follow up and follow through is impecable! Love this group! Thank you for helping me through every step of the process! Thank you Augusta and Mike Meena for the thoughtful closing gifts as well! read more

I had the great fortune of getting to work with Jordan Must from Augusta Financial for my first home loan and Jordan was absolutely incredible! This house in particular was a bit of tricky process as it was a probate sale but Jordan knocked it out of the park. He worked with us in an extremely detailed way in order to help us find the right way to approach the loan, how much to put down, etc. etc. etc. He was fantastic at talking everything through with us, which was especially helpful as first time homebuyers. And he moved quickly and smartly with time sensitive matters and always looked out for us. I honestly don't think we would have closed on this house if we hadn't been introduced to Jordan! read more

Dwayne was our loan officer for our new home. He was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was able to meet with us with very late notice when we found our perfect home. Even though we weren't fully prepared with all our documents, he was able to work with us so we could get our offer in ASAP. We never felt any pressure. He was very easy going and helpful. Throughout the process, he took extra time to explain everything to us and answer all our questions since we are first time home buyers and young. He presented all our options to us in detail. Overall, he made everything as simple and efficient as it could be. He was always very quick to respond to emails/texts/phone calls. We would definitely work with Dwayne again and happily recommend him. read more

I was on day 22 of Escrow of my very first home purchase when I got horrible news from my then lender, Chase Bank. Chase informed me that they could not and would not fund my loan AFTER telling me on several occasions that I was clear, and I could sign off on the loan contingencies (which I did). I was going to lose my earnest deposit. I was heartbroken. PETER COSFOL TO THE RESCUE! I was referred to Peter over at Augusta Financial. He was such a blessing! MY LOAN IS CLOSING TODAY! He saved me! Peter is the best at what he does and his personality makes this excruciating home buying process easier. I highly recommended Peter! Anyone looking to buy a home, CALL PETER! Peter is personable, knowledgeable, and explains the process. read more

We were pre-approved for a home loan by Sean T. at Augusta Financial. He was very friendly and knowledgeable! As first time home buyers we weren't sure exactly which type of loan we wanted and he answered our questions. We appreciated that he reached out after pre-approval when he found a different loan product that could work for us. While we ended up going with a different lender, we had a good pre-approval experience with Sean! read more

Wish there was a 0 star. Worst lending office ever. I hate the fact that whenever I call, they're always "on the other line" or "busy." Purchased a home using them, only because my realtor highly recommended them. They seriously suck. These reviews are not correct, because from the lack of service I have received and the(mind my language) sh** I go through to actually talk to someone is ridiculous. Trying to get ahold of Claire or Kris, is seriously impossible. The play mind games on you. It's sickening. EDIT: Just going to add, the response from Augusta has changed, to come off cruel so I can delete my review, to somehow feel embarrassed by what is said. When in actuality, my review will stay for people to know the truth. EDIT AGAIN: Also going to add, yes boyfriend at the time... Now husband... LATEST EDIT: I WILL NEVER delete this review, ever. We just recently sold our home and are in the market to purchase again, guess who we definitely did NOT call, this place! Just looking at how rudely this man(CEO) responded by belittling me and treating me like I was of no worth since I was my husband's girlfriend at the time is absolutely insulting and downright evil. Happily married 3 1/2 years and 3 children later. Still to this day never recommend this lending office and tell everyone to stay far far far away. Also what he did was illegal. I was private messaged in a harassing way to remove this review with a threat and guilt trip that I was jeopardizing his business. Which is in direct violation of the Yelp terms and conditions. read more

I recently purchased a new home and needed to secure a home loan. or to this most recent transaction, I was not familiar with Rachael Cleveland and I had planned on going through another broker. My Real Estate Agent, spoke very highly of Rachael and suggested I contact her to shop rates. I figured that I had nothing to lose, and called to leave Rachael a message that evening. Quite honestly, I was pleasantly surprised when Rachael actually answered her phone after 7pm and took the time to provide me with her detailed background and respond to my interview of her and Augusta Financial. She gave me the rates for earlier that day and promised to call me back in the morning with a current rate quote. Needless to say, Rachael made an immediate positive first impression. The next morning Rachael called me as promised and gave me a competitive quote. She also explained to me in detail about her commitment to providing me with a superior level of service. She wanted to assure me that she would be there for me every step of the way. Prior to doing business with her or Augusta Financial, I asked if I could meet her at the office and she welcomed me and accommodated my schedule. I arrived at their office in Newhall, and met Rachael. I felt so comfortable with her and she introduced me to many members of her staff. I completed the application and Rachael began the loan process. Throughout the entire process, Rachael was simply amazing at processing my loan and keeping me informed the entire time. It was clear to me that she was experienced, professional, warm, caring, hard working and very dedicated. In my 30 years in business, I have honestly never witnessed a level of dedication like Rachael Cleveland's. As promised, my loan was quickly processed and approved thanks to Rachael. While my loan was processed incredibly smoothly, the buyers of my home were having great difficulty with their FHA loan through Bank of America. Our closing date came and went and BofA continued to pepper my well qualified buyers with ridiculous requests for more and more documentation. Finally, two weeks after our proposed closing date, I was frustrated and the seller of my new home wanted to back out of our deal. At this point, I talked to Rachael and she graciously offered to help by working with my buyers on an extremely expeditious manner. I then insisted that my buyers drop BofA and work with Rachael. Much to everyone's amazement, Rachael was able to get loan approval in 24 hours and the deal funded in one week! If it wasn't for Rachael Cleveland, a three property real estate deal would have been lost. She literally saved all three transactions and flat out impressed everyone involved in the process. Rachael Cleveland is simply an amazing person! She is the most personable, professional and dedicated person I have ever met or done business with. I mentioned before that few people impress me, well Rachael has made a lasting impression on my life. Not only is she professional and dedicated, but most importantly she truly cares about her clients and prides herself on providing an unsurpassed level of customer service! Throughout this entire process, I have told countless friends, family members and colleagues about Rachael Cleveland and Augusta Financial and have strongly recommended that they use Rachael for all their loan needs. read more

I have been using Augusta Financial since 2011 when my wife and I bought our first house. Back then when my family was first starting out, Mike Meena made everything possible for that first house. Since then I have used them for refinancing and just recently for my new house in Idaho! On my house that I just bought in Idaho, Peter Cosfol handled my loan and many times I feel went above and beyond to make everything fall into place and get escrow closed on time. There were times when the title company did not think there was a possibility of closing on time and I don't know what Peter did but my agent and title person all said he worked a miracle with all that had to be done to get things done on time. I can't say enough about my experience using Augusta Financial, everybody I have worked with there has been phenomenal. Thank you so much Peter for everything you did to get us into our new house with how crazy things are now in the market and with Covid you're the best! read more

Augusta Financial is the best! Mike Meena is totally different than most mortgage guys! Most mortgage guys we talked to were kind of "too cool" but Mike and his guys were happy to assist and super on-the-ball. I own a company, and am self employed so my loan was complicated but these guys walked me through everything. Dwayne Okpaise, one of Mike's employees was super-helpful too! I would give 6 stars if I could!!! read more

Five stars is not enough to express my gratitude to Michelle Smelser and Augusta Financial! Michelle came highly recommended from family and although we were hesitant to use a broker over 400 miles away, we quickly fell into the comfort of Michelle's charismatic personality coupled with her knowledge and experience- it was a sure fit! I am so grateful that my fiancé and I had the pleasure of working with Michelle on the purchase of our first home. From the start, Michelle went above and beyond to explain every aspect of the home loan process to us. She told us exactly what we needed and held our hands through the entire process. She worked so hard and was always available. Michelle has exceptional communication skills, she worked with my fiancé, our realtor, escrow and myself remotely yet was so on top of everything, it felt like she was here everyday. My family and I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Michelle and Agusta Financial and want to thank them so much for helping us in this very scary but exciting milestone in our lives! Highly recommend! read more

Brett Doscher of Augusta Financial is amazing!  We would not have our home if it weren't for him. We had a realtor decline our ability to put in an offer due to final negotiations on a property.  Because Brett had all our loan documents prepared and underwritten, we were able to put an offer in less than an hour and secure our dream home.  I can confidently say we would not have this home if it weren't for Brett's responsiveness, organization, and agility.  We could reach Brett immediately, and he always followed through with his commitments. He educated us on a process that seemed intimidating as first time home buyers.  We had a one-year-old daughter to take into consideration and wanted to ensure we were budgeting appropriately for her future. Brett broke down different options we had, including providing tons of insights into how we could present our offer in a market that was the most competitive we've experienced in our lifetime. All we can say is, "Thank you, Brett!"  We wouldn't be homeowners if it weren't you. read more

I was referred to Augusta Financial by my real estate agent, Jesus Arteaga, and I couldn't be more pleased with the way I was treated and the professionalism of the team! Mike Meena, Kris Kehl, David Bogosian, Teresa Hernandez, and the rest of the team were amazing! They were very knowledgeable, prompt, friendly and they were very thorough in dotting every "I" and crossing every "T" to ensure that our loan funded for our beautiful home. I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a loan and I hope to do business with them again in the future! A very sincere thank you to Mike and team from the Hernandez Family! read more

I had the amazing luck of being referred to Sean Treloggen by a real estate agent a couple of years ago. I wasn't approved for a loan initially, but Sean sent me a message the following year to give my application another try. His diligence got the ball rolling, and I was fortunate to find my first home and a great rate all thanks to Sean! Because it was my first home purchase, I had many questions regarding all of the technical language within mortgage documents, but Sean was always ready and eager to help. He made the whole process easy and stress free. I would highly recommend that you ask for Sean Treloggen by name. He is a broker that every home buyer deserves! read more

Top notch service. I have been using Augusta Financial for years. I wouldn't use any other lending company. Peter and his team are responsive, thorough, and don't get upset that they repeat themselves!! If you want a friendly, fast, an ease of service lending company I would absolutely use them. We have an appointment for Jan 2019 to re-evaluate my loan to ensure I have the best one possible. No other lending company would care this much (I may be bias!). read more

I know any where else I wouldn't be able to make my wife's dream happen and thank you to Augusta Financial for all the hard work and dedication to our family and for our loan!!!!! read more

When I was deciding which Financial firm to utilize, for my Home Financial transaction, it was very important for me to find someone who primarily specialized in that field and that employed a staff with the experience that would make the difference.

Peter was very accommodating to my schedule requirements and was always very responsive to my correspondences to him, be it through telephone, text or email.

Andrew (Andy) Boron was fantastic! A trusted friend recommended him and I am glad she did. I was frustrated when I called other companies about their advertised refinance rates and then found out that the rates came with points. Andy was very clear when going through refinance options and then made it all happen. I felt like I got a great rate and understood my options. He responded to email and phone calls very quickly if I had any questions. My refinance was quick and easy. My loan funded in less than three weeks even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Though I was in Long Beach, I was able to do everything electronically and Andy sent a notary to my home. I would highly recommend. read more
