I had an excellent experience refinancing with Bobby Home Lending Advisor. Even though I am working in banking industry myself, I have never met a Home Loan Advisor like Bobby. He is incredibly kind, responsive, and always stayed in close contact throughout the entire process. What truly sets him apart is how much he genuinely cares about his clients and adds a personal touch that you don't often see. The process was smooth with almost no hiccups. I felt fully supported every step of the way and highly recommend Bobby. Either this is your first home, second home, Heloc or Refinance, please work with Bobby so you would not face the stress of the process by yourself or getting lost without any update or communication. He is really the best I could ever work with! read more

Very professional, courteous and patient. Couldn't have had a better experience than this. Every conversation with him over the phone was very reassuring and pleasant and you can sense that he's fully invested in this and wants to take you all the way over the finish line without any hiccups. Overall a phenomenal guy to work with. read more

Bobby is the best. We called Meriwest to refinance and was directed to Bobby to handle the application.

This is my second time I've had Bobby do a refinance for me. This time he reached out to me with a great refinance rate. I was very appreciative and excited at the same time. Bobby is just an all around very nice man. He's very knowledgeable and is always making himself available to interact with the whole process of the refinance as he was with the other refinance I had done about three years ago with him. The whole process was very easy and comfortable for me and I would highly recommend reaching out to him for a new or refinancing of a loan. read more

He is amazing and helped me in getting approval on my first home loan even I didn't have a good credit history. Also, mortgage rate he was able to approve me of that is less than any other lender offered me. He makes sure that I should get key to my house and fulfilled all his promises and assurances. Also, whenever I had any query, he promptly replies back. He was able to do COE in just 21 days and always provide a feedback on the loan process. He is my first choice for a loan whenever I will plan for refinancing or buying another house. Thank you Bobby, you are amazing and really appreciate for all your hardwork and efforts. read more

Bobby was great! He answered all our questions in a timely manner. He made himself available via email, text, and by phone.

He gave both my wife and I sound advice and reduced our anxiety through the whole refinancing process. We would definitely recommend him and look forward to working with him in the future should the opportunity arise. read more

It was great working with Bobby and his team. We could give a few more stars if yelp allowed. The loan process felt like a piece of cake going through Bobby. Our realtor had introduced Bobby to us. And from the time we got introduced to closing the loan, it was less than 2 weeks!! Extremely efficient team. Always kept us in the loop with the updates on what's going on (with the loan) and were there always for any questions we had. Strongly recommend to anyone (especially first-time home buyers) looking for a solid loan officer. Keep calm and leave it to Bobby! :) read more

It was great working with Bobby. He is very knowledgeable and most importantly - gets thing done!

Bobby is the Best!!! The best testament is repeat business, and Bobby handled my refinance on a home 5 years ago and was excellent with the refinance closing ahead of time and I received an excellent rate, and I was very satisfied. I contacted Meriwest on a recent purchase of a home and was delighted that Bobby was still there. Bobby handled the recent June 2020 purchase of my home and I received an excellent rate and closed ahead of time. If you are looking for a Mortgage consultant, Bobby is the very Best!!! read more

Bobby and his team get the job done efficiently. He is direct and clear with his requirements and is very easy to work with. I highly recommend him. read more

This is a little late , almost 2 years in June but we had Bobby and every time I had a question or needed help with something he was there the whole way through, always answered when I called him freakin out and he always calmed me down through the process, we now have our dream home in Gilroy. I would recommend him to all of my family and friends. Thanks Bobby! read more

Bobby is very experienced hardworking, efficient and honest. He is always to the point and there is no room for misunderstandings or surprises later on. Being first-time home buyers, we had hundreds of questions and Bobby patiently answered every one of them be it early morning or after hours. He genuinely cares about his clients and it's not just a transaction for him. Looking back, I'm so happy that I once took 5 min after lunch at my office cafeteria and chatted with a visiting Meriwest representative who gave me Bobby's contact. Bobby and his team are super quick and deliver as promised. -- Pre-approval - 1 day from sending over all documents requested -- Day 1 within an hour of signing contract - Credit rechecked, appraisal ordered with rush, taxes& fees requested from escrow -- Day 2 - Documents verified and preliminary disclosures sent out -- Day 3 - Appraisal received -- Day 4 - Processor prepared file for underwriting -- Day 5 - Underwriter's approval with a couple of easy conditions -- Once requested docs are submitted, underwriter cleared the file in a few hours and Closing Disclosure sent out the same evening!! The best part is that Bobby kept us on the loop always and periodically updated the progress. Many thanks to him for such a smooth transaction and making it happen for us!!! Tip - if Bobby reviews your file and suggests an insanely short close time that's too good to be true, don't doubt it as he has a track record of delivering it. If you're in the market for a lender, pick up the phone and call Bobby. Once he reviews your file, simply listen to his do's/don't and follow exactly as he says. Rest assured, he will take care of everything whilst keeping it a painless and stress-free experience for you. read more

He is super quick in closing and in answering any emails. If you want the job done fast and done well, he's your guy.

Just fantastic experience. My loan needed customization and was beyond regular underwriting guidelines; Bobby understood the intricacies and took my case upstairs for a special review as my advocate. He kept me up to date on the progress. Financing a home can be stressfull expereince but with Bobby on my side, it was a super smooth transaction. I will highly recommend him. read more

I have had the pleasure of working with Bobby for almost a decade. He's just an amazing loan officer who treats the clients the way they need to be treated - with respect and warmth. Bobby is extremely responsive, meticulous and has a get it done attitude. I would gladly recommend his services to anyone any day. Thank you Bobby! read more

Bobby promised to close the purchase loan in 21 days and he delivered exactly as promised. He's been reachable throughout the period both via phone or email, even when he's not in office. Would love to do business with him again! read more

Bobby and his team did refi loan for us this year, 2020. They were absolutely a joy to work with. They are thorough, quick time-around, and got best rates for my property, communication was great in all channels. His team is top notch. Our loan had an issue due to us traveling abroad and couldn't attend closing, Bobby went above and beyond to move that out without any additional costs to us. They were able to close my loan on rescheduled time and underwriting was smooth as well. Amazing work!! I would love to work with his team again. read more

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! This is my second loan with Bobby and he is awesome! The transactions always go smoothly and so fast! His dedication to detail and customer service is first class! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great, no hassle experience! Thanks again for the great service Bobby!! read more

Bobby Shamlou and the Meriwest team are the best that I came across. I have taken mortgage/refinanced thrice before shopping for loans from several small and big banks, but Meriwest really puts customer first and makes sure the loan process is simple, fast and effective. I am impressed by the way the team handled few surprises we had to face to make sure we meet COE deadline. Thanks a bunch to Bobby and team! read more

We were referred to Meriwest Mortgage and Bobby by our real estate agent for buying our first home. Bobby got us preapproved in a matter of hours within a day. This gave us full confidence that we are in the right hands. After that, the entire process was like a breeze working with Bobby. It all went very smooth and fast. The very fact that he was very active even during his vacation responding promptly to our emails and texts shows his level of his dedication and is highly appreciable. He answered all our queries and guided us in detail through the available options and procedures. He handled minor hiccups tactfully and professionally.Overall it was an amazing experience working with Bobby and we highly recommend him to everyone. read more

This is my second time working with Bobby; he did my original loan, and now we just completed a refinance. He is truly a delight to work with, and very likely the most hard working person I have had the pleasure of meeting. Ironically, I've never even met him in person (hopefully someday soon). Anyway, your future self will thank you for having him represent you in your home's financing, so just STOP and look no further - he's exactly who you need. I know I can't wait to work with him and his team on many more property financing in the future. Thank you so much Bobby! read more

I had refinance done couple of days back. The entire experience was very smooth and Bobby kept me well informed on the progress. I would highly recommend him. read more

When I started looking out for buying a home, I was not sure about the loan and how this whole thing works. I started exploring several mortgage specialists and all I got was disappointment. Few were not sure as I had no 20% down, few said I have to do 30% as I am on H1 visa and so on.... At a time where I almost lost hope, my relator referred me to Bobby. The day I called Bobby, I realized he was the one who will get this done. NO was not an answer with Bobby. He is also a specialist for H1 holders and he closed my transaction in 15 days which was as good as cash offer. Any buyer would absolutely like it and this is indeed a great sauce to win the race in this crazy market. I highly recommend Bobby anytime. Thank you, Bobby, for getting this done! read more

Bobby was refereed from a friend of mine who worked with him previously . When I approached him I was in a tight situation w.r.t. time to close and loan approval. But, Bobby was so assuring when he speaks. Each step he took care very professionally and he was approachable to speak on loan questions. We closed the loan at right time even though we have very short duration. Without Bobby, we would not close the loan in time. Thanks Bobby!!! read more

Bobby and team have been an absolute pleasure to work with and helped us close on our house in record time!!! They are professional, punctual, and were our mortgage rockstars! They bent over backward to get us the most amazing rate ever! As a first time home owner, they answered all of our tough questions and were always available to help out in any way they could! 10/10 for Bobby and team!!! read more

It was a great experience working with Bobby. He is very hard working and professional. Being a first time home buyer, we had a tons of questions and bobby answered all with patience and on time. In the loan process, there were a couple of surprises because of other people involved. But Bobby made sure that he makes it up to us. He made the process as fast as possible. I highly recommend Bobby. read more

Bobby is a outstanding Loan Officer. He just made my loan and always was on top of everything making sure that things went through fast and smoothly. Lots of experience and resources in the field to make sure that you are working with the right people including realtors. Super fast closing as promised! Thanks a lot!!!!!! read more

In this competitive market (bay area), its really important to have a strong team (realtor + lender) to buy a home. When it comes to selecting a lender, then you can not go wrong with Bobby. There are few things which makes him unique and the best as compared to other lenders in the market. Firstly- loan closing time, he is very confident in closing the loan in a very short period of time (as low as 2 weeks), this factor is very important when it comes to closing a deal in the bay area market. He knows the entire process in and out, he is an expert in this process. Secondly- patience, as a first time home buyer, the entire loan process can be intimidating and stressful, especially when you put an aggressive offer like 2 weeks. Bobby will explain everything to you step by step from basics. It took me more time to understand and make decisions so I repeatedly asked him questions and asked for his advice, there wasn't a single instance when he got irritated. Even when it comes to making decisions about loan options, you can rely on him to advise the best for you, he actually cares about his clients as if it's his own purchase. Lastly- knowledgeable, if you are stuck in the loan process to get required documents or for something similar where you cant think of a way to do it, then Bobby can help you. He is so knowledgeable that he will think out of the box to find an alternative for you to help you. I will use his services again when I plan to refinance and buy my 2nd home. I highly recommend Bobby!!!! Thank you Bobby!! read more
