Chris was referred to me by my brother-in-law, and from the very first interaction he was amazing…read more As a first-time buyer in Azusa, I had no idea what to expect, but he broke everything down every step of the way through calls, texts, and even newsletters that kept me in the loop throughout. We started at the end of January and closed by early March. It was that seamless, that quick. What really stood out was his confidence and how proactive he was with everyone involved. There was a moment when the selling agent reached out directly because my agent wasn't available, and Chris told them we could close within 10 days. And we did. He makes a promise and he delivers. He had my best interest in mind the whole time, and I would absolutely call him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a great mortgage broker.

The last thing you want in purchasing a property is problems. I have bought multiple properties over the last few years and I have to say dealing with Elvis is a pleasure. Many mortgage brokers dont know the business, Elvis does. Here is the summary of my transaction: Ease of Transaction - Elvis makes it easy. Many brokers do not streamline the process which makes it very difficult. Elvis does the heavy lifting and gets all information upfront so you wont have to constantly go back and forth. Reputation - Elvis has a great reputation in the industry and his connections to underwriters is key to getting docs processed timely. Service - He and his team are always available to answer questions. The great thing is he keeps you updated throughout the way. My expectations are always exceeded. This is my second loan with him and I will tell you that the level of service and smoothness of the transaction is light years ahead of any other broker I have used.

They were knowledgeable & professional, as well as kind, which made all the difference in our interactions with them. No stone was left unturned to ensure we achieved the rate and payments we were looking for. Patrick was very transparent and communicated with us daily to give us the latest update and confirm that all our questions were answered, which was refreshing! Emin made sure to layout all our options to facilitate a loan that worked best with our situation. They are also very prompt, if you are promised to have your loan funded in a certain amount of time, know that they will deliver early and exceed your expectations. Thank you for your patience as well as treating us as people rather than just home loan customers and always looking out for our best interest.

Ali Shemirani really made my first time home buying experience come true, and he made it a breeze…read more To be honest, I went through 4 different loan officers before contacting Ali. They all said that it would be too difficult - or impossible - to get the loan I needed with my current financial picture. Ali had a different tune. He said, "don't worry, I am going to make it happen - you will get your loan and I will close it for you." The rest is history, I finally have the ideal home and terms thanks to Ali and his persistence. I will definitely use him and Provident lending again to refinance once the rates come down, and for future purchases and investments. Thank you Ali! In addition, Alicia Crosby was such a fast loan processor! Within minutes of any question or concern I had, she would get back and with good news / information. When it comes down to the final moments of closing escrow, she did not skip a beat to make sure everything got processed on time and I understood all of the steps along the way. I am grateful for her patience while I followed up every day, sometimes multiple times a day, to check the status of the loan proceedings. Impeccable customer service and I would recommend no questions asked. Thank you Provident Lending Group!

I became a member in 2014 not knowing what a credit union was but was always interested by the little robot and the color scheme of the original corporate office. I remember getting all the information that helped persuade to open a membership. They assisted me with a credit card and then a personal loan to help me be debt free from past credit card uses! As of now, I'm close to paying off my debt and feel that Logix FCU gave me the chance to make that a reality! It's also great to say that every logix location I have had the pleasure of going to have all been great service all around! I know I will have a life long relationship with logix as I will also open an UTMA account for my nephew to help save for his future! I know Logix FCU will help the next generation just like they assisted me all these years! Heck! Their great service and chill atmosphere also got me interested in completing my banking and finance degree which now I work for a Credit Union! lol Your biggest fan! -Grigor

Request for redundant paperwork is frustrating and time wasting. Their online banking app is a joke; it won't allow you to transfer to an outside account. The final step never completes the process. They do not have a 24hr phone customer service line. Their banking hours are limited and accessing your money through their app is impossible. I guess you get what you pay for. So if saving a half percent on interest is worth it to you then get ready to hoop jump throughout your banking experience.
