Ayata at Clear Mortgage Capital handled my unique situation with care and timeliness. Choose Ayata for quick closing and quality service.

Having recently purchased my first home in the ridiculously competitive Bay Area housing market. I am so very grateful to have had Ayata as my mortgage broker during this transaction. I don't think I would've been able to purchase in this market at this particular time without her expertise, shared-knowledge, coaching, and overall diligence. Throughout the experience she made it more of a priority to educate and advise me and placed very little emphasis on "selling" her broker services. This made my decision to work exclusively with her a very easy choice. I would recommend Ayata to any of friends, family, or colleagues. read more

Ayata has helped us refinance our house in North Berkeley twice. She combined very professional service with a friendly demeanor that made the entire experience a pleasure. While the interest rate on our mortgage is now so low (thanks Ayata) that we will probably never use her again, I would recommend her to anyone who needs a mortgage. However, even though she made no money, Ayata recently referred us to another person who set us up with a great Home Equity Line of Credit. Nothing but praise for Ayata. read more

Ayata is an excellent real estate broker, I loved the fact that we cross path because my fiancé and I had been looking to purchase our first home for the past year and it didn't happen until we met Ayata.

Ayata helped me refinance my home this year and it was about as pleasant as taking out a mortgage loan could be. She said that she was my partner in this effort and it truly felt like it throughout the entire process. When I was just shopping around for a new lender she answered all of my questions thoughtfully and thoroughly, and if there was something she couldn't answer she told me exactly why (e.g. compliance issues). I always felt like she was giving me all the information she could in a way I could understand. There was the option the e-sign papers so that was very convenient but when I wanted to read through documents in person Ayata met me at her office after hours and went over each document with me until I felt comfortable signing. Overall Ayata is your partner in refinancing your mortgage. read more

I am very grateful with Ayata. She saved a transaction for us. It was a condo in Union City where the buyer had been denied because of the percentage of owner occupancy versus non-owners did not comply FNMA guidelines. She quickly found a lender that would accept the current conditions and was able to close within 21 days. This is really a record for such a difficult scenario. She not only dealt with the time pressure but communicated with all parties very efficiently. I highly recommend Ayata for any of your mortgage loan needs. She is awesome to work with. read more

Ayata is the true definition of " Wonder Woman". This has been a 2 year journey and I have worked with 5 lenders. I finally spoke with my realtor about the roadblocks I was experiencing and shortly after I received a call from Ayata who was extremely devoted to helping me reach my goal. At times when I started to feel discourage she kept me encourage. Ayata didn't make me feel like another client, but more so a friend and even my big sister.

It was great working with Ayata. Buying my place in Oakland was so much more complicated than buying my home in Philly, but Ayata helped every step of the way, including helping me navigate a rather unexpected credit situation.

There are some many wonderful words i can use to describe Ayata but i will start with compassionate and relentless! I brought her a client that had been denied a loan through Union Bank -- Ayata and her team worked tirelessly to make sure this deal closed! I was so emotional tied to this family as the mother had rented the house for almost 30 years and her son was 150% committed to purchase and it seemed unfair for this family to have to move. We experienced challenge after challenge--- but we closed the deal. A huge thank you to Ayata and her team! I am forever grateful and will be sending more clients your way! read more

Ayayta Colbert was God sent. I was in contract with a seller( I'm a first time homebuyer) and my original loan officer sold me a fake dream and wasn't able to come through on what he said he would be able to do. So my real estate agent got me in contact with Ayayta Colbert and the rest is history. She was able to get me the loan I needed in a very short period of time, and was very straight forward with the process and what to expect. As long as she does home loans I will always back her name so if your looking for a home loan she is the very best. read more

My husband and I just purchased our first home together thanks to the tenacious efforts of Ayata Colbert.

She was like a theater production manager making sure everything came together properly with full attention and care for her client. Thank you Ayata!!! read more

Our family is so thankful to have had Ayata as our mortgage broker during our home buying process. This is our first home and we were prepared but extremely anxious. She was patient, professional, and thorough which helped us tremendously. When I started to panic, Ayata remained calm and continued to walk us through the process. Her assistant Deona was also incredible in keeping us on track with supplying our documentation. Every step of the way was made easier because Ayata was very hands on. We ended up getting a great deal and our interest rate is superior! We are over the moon.
