I am scared of numbers, so when I walked into Chebel's office I was reluctant to say one word. As he and my wife progressed in the conversation and he explained several things I began to realize that I understood what he was talking about. He continued to explain the process and what we could expect in the coming days. He answered all of my "dumb" questions by stating that they weren't dumb, he just happened to work with this information daily while I did not. Chebel is so easy to work with and he makes sure you understand what is going on. He takes the time to make sure you get all of his attention at any time. He called while he was on vacation to make sure that we understood fully where we were in the process. Truly a wonderful person in his craft. I highly recommend Chebel not only because of his knowledge, but he really cares for his clients. I wish I could add more stars to his rating read more

I highly recommend Mr. Chebel Mina of Broadview Mortgage as a most outstanding Mortgage Broker. He is very patient , kind and knowledgable. He addressed all of my concerns and was very helpful with my excessive phone calls! He has helped me purchase my last 2 homes and in the process has become a very good friend. I feel very lucky to have found him. read more

Chebel and his team were amazing to work with every step of the way. They continuously went above and beyond to help us find our perfect home. We will highly recommend Broadview to our friends and family and look forward to working with Chebel and his team in the future! read more

If you're a first-time homebuyer, I can't recommend Chebel enough. He helped my wife and me by buy our first home, and we're both so happy that he served as our steward in this process. We had done some research on different types of loans and assistance programs. But there's a difference between reading something out of a book and actually applying it for years. Chebel clearly knows his stuff. He assessed our situation and, using his experience, found the loan that was right for us. Not only that, he made it a point to educate us about the homebuying process as well as the mortgage we'd be committing to. He gave us a chart that helped us easily understand our options, re-shared the chart as the loan application process progressed, and sent helpful explanatory videos at each stage of the process. We knew exactly how much we were going to pay before signing on the dotted line. No surprises. And thanks to Chebel's expertise, we were able to close quickly. By following his instructions, we were able to close in 21 days. (I didn't think that people could buy a home and move in in less than a month!) Chebel also introduced us to our realtor, Preeti Bhathal, whom we couldn't have been more thrilled with. Chebel is smart, patient, responsive to emails and phone calls, and genuinely cares about the people he's helping. We're so glad that we went with him. Thanks again, Chebel! read more

Chebel is the best of the best and we have recommended him to our friends. My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Chebel for the first time last year when we purchased our first home. He is very honest, thorough and really wanted us to understand what our options were. We felt very comfortable and informed when we purchased, and he was even ready a week early! We loved working with Chebel so much, that when we were considering refinancing this year, it was a given that he would be the man for the job. He once again explained all of our options and made sure we made the best decision for ourselves. The process was, once again, seamless and he made some recommendations that really paid off for us. We will continue to recommend him to anyone who is looking for purchase a home or refinance. read more

Chebel is exceptional in every way. We worked with him back in 2009 to purchase our first home which required an FHA loan in a highly accelerated timeline. Not only was he able to meet the deadline to close, he guided us through every step of the process with an great deal of care. Chebel is one of a handful of people we've met that truly cares about his clients and treats them like family. This is why we came back to him to purchase our second home and will continue to do so in the future!! read more

Chebel is truly one of the best you will find. He has helped my family with 3 mortgages over the last 7 years and every one was the same......exactly as Chebel said it would be!! I highly recommend you give him a call and this will be the easiest part of the home buying, or re-financing process....I promise! Thank you Chebel !!! read more

Chebel is the definition of customer service. We live in Los Angeles and bought our first home in Los Angeles. After interviewing a few banks and loan officers we were recommended Chebel through a close family friend in Orange County. We made the drive down and will do it again the next time we're in the market for a home. Having a GOOD and KNOWLEDGEABLE loan officer is crucial. He won't sell you on a loan and will take the time to teach you the ins and outs of every loan option. In addition he is available morning, noon, night -- seven days a week. Any question, calculation you need, payment breakdown, he is always available. He truly becomes like family and it's all because he's honest and direct. We had a lot of agents that tried to get us to switch out of an FHA loan or put more money down to stay "competitive" but Chebel was quick to back us up with facts and would get on the phone with any agent to educate them on what they don't know. Like I said, never sells you on a loan that isn't for you and alway has your back. I only wish every business would take a page from him. He's worth the drive, flight, or train ride. read more

Chebel is wonderful!! I have been a Real Estate Agent for 11 years and couldn't believe how easy he was to work with. His buyer made an offer on one of my listings. We had multiple offers but what made the difference was that Chebel immediately contacted me and got involved. His constant updates and communications were exceptional. I have worked with many lenders but Chebel is in a class all by himself. He preps his buyers and gets them ready so escrow closes smoothly. As a buyer, using Chebel will make all the difference to a Listing Agent. As a seller, I would require that all buyers get preapproved with Chebel before the offer is accepted. He really is that good!! read more

Chebel is fantastic. I just purchased my first home and was fairly familiar with the mortgage industry as my dad is a broker, and my siblings are in the mortgage field as well (I also had a very brief stint in the industry). My Realtors recommended him to me, and what made me feel absolutely comfortable with choosing Chebel was the fact that one of their daughters used him to find her first home. So, I decided to go with Chebel and I am so glad that I did. Once I found my home, Chebel provided me with these amazing charts and graphs that demonstrated various loan scenarios for me and also demonstrated how beneficial it is for me to purchase that to rent. I have never seen anything like it. It was very helpful in assisting in my decision to choose the loan program best suited for me. Once I chose my loan, it was smooth sailing after that. Throughout the process, I would even receive personalized video clips that were informative to assist me with the process, as well as entertaining. There was one little hiccup (regarding a litigation issue with an owner of a home in my community) and Chebel managed to handle it promptly with ease and success. I have a super low interest rate and the entire process, especially as a first time home buyer, worked out in my favor in every which way possible. We closed and funded sooner than anticipated and when I received my keys, I was thrilled! I highly recommend Chebel who is patient, will answer any and all questions promptly, and will assist in any way to make sure you get the home you've always wanted! Thanks, Chebel! read more

We were first time buyers but, having been forced to deal with another "back-up" lender during escrow, we can safely say that is Chebel is truly fantastic. He took the time to educate us on the different types of mortgages, how the process works, how market forces affect mortgage backed securities and what to look for. He was always available via phone, email or an office visit whenever we needed and no matter how many stupid questions we had. Every step of the way through the process he went way beyond the extra mile. As a result we locked in a fantastic rate, with great rebates towards closing and Chebel even managed to move our file to the front of queue to close on time (the other lender caused us so many problems it resulted in a delay) and much more! If you want a great lender, great rates with a personal touch, Chebel and Broadview are just that. read more

We were in escrow, a month from closing and ran into problems with our loan broker. Our financial advisor recommended Chebel. We called and immediately, Chebel calculated a FAR BETTER loan for us saving us $100,000.00 long term! Not kidding!!! Chebel was delightful to work with. Very knowledgeable with over 30 years experience and was happy to answer all our questions carefully and throughly. We began as a business relationship, ended as friends! read more

I was referred to Chebel Mina at Broadview Mortgage by my real estate agent, and he made my first time home buying experience extremely smooth and pleasant. Chebel kept me informed the whole time about what was happening, why certain documents were needed, and what our next steps were going to be. As a first time home buyer, I appreciated his extra care in educating me about the unfamiliar process that was unfolding. Everything with my loan preparation worked out so well that we closed escrow two days early! I am thrilled to now be a homeowner and recommend Chebel without hesitation. read more

Two years ago my husband and I started looking into purchasing a condo and were lucky enough to hear about Chebel Mina. He helped us step by step and went above and beyond to help us with the process. He was great with answering any question we had right away. He made it such a wonderful experience! We recently went back to him last month to refinance our condo and once again had a great experience! I definitely recommend his services! read more

Our realtor suggested my wife and I contact Chebel Mina to discuss various home financing options, etc. This wasn't our first property purchase so I didn't think we had much to learn, but I was curious what Chebel may have to say so we decided to meet with him. The only time we could make work was on a Sunday, which I didn't think banker-types worked on the weekends! To make matters worse, we were late which was embarrassing but Chebel didn't seem phased at all. He warmly welcomed us into his office and we sat for a good two hours talking about all sorts of options and how the system works and his recommendations. He does not sit in his ivory tower and tell us how we ought to do this or that. I was amazed at how intently he listened to us and walked us through various options all the while taking our feedback and working it into the next approach. He was very up front about pros and cons, but he also didn't bury us with facts and then leave it completely up to us out of disinterest or fear of litigation. He was genuine and warm and intelligent and experienced, all the qualities you want in a financial person on your side. I highly recommend Chebel! read more

My Wife and I just celebrated our 1-year anniversary in our First Home !! A year ago at this time, we would not have thought this to be possible. Working with Chebel Mina, our dreams became a reality, and we could not be more thankful for his service and efforts throughout the entire process. We have recommended him to friends looking for their next home, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for the first Home or their next Home. read more

I had an offer in on a home in Mission Viejo and Chebel Mina at Broadview was recommended to me by a friend on a real estate forum. From our very first meeting, Chebel and his team were professional, patient, and efficient. I was shown detailed analyses of my options, broken down and explained to me. I can be confident I got the best product for me at the best rate at the time. My mind was at ease through the entire process, I had constant contact from Chebel and his team, they worked hard for me. Highly recommended. read more
