I cannot recommend Chris Fenoglio and Melanie Ortize highly enough! From our very first conversation, they went above and beyond to make the home mortgage process as seamless, transparent, and stress-free as possible. Right out of the gate, Chris and Melanie secured an incredibly competitive rate that outperformed everything else we looked at. But what truly set them apart was their sheer speed and flawless execution. Mortgage timelines can notoriously be tight, but this team operates like a well-oiled machine. Thanks to their proactive communication, dedication, and sheer efficiency, we actually closed on our home **nearly two weeks early**! read more

I can't recommend Chris and his team enough! read more

PNC Home Lending provided OUTSTANDING service and communication throughout the loan process. Chris and his team kept me up to date every step of the way and were extremely responsive to any/all questions I had. It didn't matter the time of day (or night), they responded immediately with the information I needed to make informed decisions. It was evident from our first conversation that Chris had a great deal of experience in the Southern California housing market and was very knowledgeable regarding all aspects of home financing. One of the primary reasons I chose PNC as my lender was because he is a partner, not a salesperson. Between Chris, Melanie (who went above and beyond to process everything in the most efficient and timely manner) and Jacob, I have no hesitation in giving PNC the highest rating. They are the best in the business. read more

Chris gave us the most competitive rate on our loan and helped us afford more house for essentially the same payment and less down...it really was a win-win. He walked us through the entire process and was quick and efficient in his responses. I recommend them to anyone looking for a superior home mortgage product. read more

Updated review: Chris actually went out of his way to be a completely rude and unprofessional idiot. After concerns of the 15k$ he was adding on my loan for a refinance his words were " FINE ILL JUST CANCEL OUT YOUR APPROVAL I WOULDNT WANT TO SAVE 300$ A MONTH EITHER" this guy is a joke, laughable at best. Surprised he is still in the industry with sales skills reminiscent of a 19 year old in the 80s with a bad cocaine habit. Stay away read more

Can't say enough about my seamless experience with Chris and his team. In these crazy time, Chris let me know everything I needed to do to get financed. From the initial preapproval through closing. He even recommended me to offer less on my home I ended up closing on! Shhh, don't tell my real estate agent! I appreciated his candidness and information. He is very knowledgeable about the market. Would I recommend? 100% yes! Will I be using him on my next purchase? ABSOLUTELY! read more

Chris and his All-Star team of Melanie, Jeremy, and Jacob were amazing in helping my wife and I refinance our home to the new lower 2.5% VA loan.

They were even so thoughtful in sending us a beautiful Holiday Gift Basket for their appreciation. We are truly grateful for your assistance in helping us save money especially during COVID-19 and the holidays. I highly recommend choosing Chris at Finance of America, if you need a top notch lender with financing your home. read more

Chris and his team came through once again! I used this team when I first purchased my home a few years ago and since I was so pleased with how they got the job done I decided to go with them again. I recently refinanced my home and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you Jeremy and Melanie for walking me through the stressful process and answering all my questions and concerns. You will not find a more efficient team! read more

Chris Fenoglio is a great lender to work with! He got me into a beautiful property at a great rate in Jan 2021, and 8 months later, he has remained fully available for my questions and concerns. He is always knowledgable and direct, and he and his team are a pleasure to work with. I'm also pleased with the Finance of America website; it is well designed, and it gives valuable and clear information about the value of my property every time I make a payment. I highly recommend Chris and Finance of America! read more

Hustle hustle hustle. Chris and his team hustle! He never wasted any of my time or his with a long sit down. We did everything over the phone and through text and email and it really helped at a time when I was super busy and already taking too many days off of work to see houses. These guys hustle. The loan was completed in 12 days. It was insane. We still had to wait another week or so for the sellers to move out and then close. If it was vacant I'm pretty sure we could have closed within two weeks. He gave me a lot of advice on what I should do to save myself money. He ended up finding a nice work around to get me a lower monthly mortgage with a much smaller fee than I was expecting. He actually took the time to find me the best deal possible for the way I wanted my loan to work out. Part of the reason I got my house was because the listing agent had worked with Chris and knew that he hustles to close. He also sent me a nice house warming gift. They are a great team and I'm never going anywhere else. read more

Chris and team were a pleasure to work with. As first time home buyers, we had a number of questions - Chris always explained things in a straightforward manner that we could understand. Chris was also extremely quick to respond to any inquiries we had for each step in the loan process. He obtained a great rate for our mortgage and helped us lock it in prior to another rate hike. Highly recommended! read more

Chris and his team were such a welcome pleasure to work with. They did a refinance which also eliminated a second mortgage for me. Given my self employment terms, it was a challenging refi, but Chris got it done. I also appreciate how much of their communication and document turnover is streamlined in an electronic format that is easy to navigate and use. Very up to date for the modern world. It was always a pleasure working with his coordinator, Melanie, as well. I would highly recommend using Chris and his team for your mortgage needs. read more

Very professional team that met our needs and kept all of our questions answered. Would highly recommend.

I was referred to Chris after my lender was unable to get me approved. Obviously my situation was complicated and Chris was still able to get my loan approved and we closed in 19 days!! The whole process was so simple, everything was transparent and I never had to ask for update or status because they were so on top of it. Not to mention the loan they worked out for me was so much better than I thought i could get. Great team, great company. I would absolutely use them again. read more

Chris and his team are awesome!!! When I thought I wouldn't get approved, he prove me wrong. I got approved and now I'm moving into my new home less than a month.

Keep up the good guys!!! Give Chris and his team a try, you won't regret it. Thanks again to you and your team Chris!!! read more

Justin Hughey is an incredible Lender on the team and was always quick to provide quotes based on different purchase criteria during my long real estate search that spanned condos, townhomes and single family residences.

Chris and his dedicated team were excellent to work with. As first time homebuyers, my partner and I were nervous and unsure about the whole loan process. Chris and his team were always responsive to my phone calls and e-mails, of which there were plenty! Chris and Shelly took the time to answer all of my questions and made the daunting loan application process as easy as possible. As a person who appreciates efficiency, Chris and his team streamlined everything; I can't think of one serious hiccup during the several months it took to work through the process of getting our loan approved. Chris updated us regularly on the loan progress and even sent us a helpful checklist to visually show us where along the process we were. Buying a home can be stressful, but Chris and his team alleviated a lot of that stress. We just closed and moved into our new, first home, last month. Thanks again to Chris, Shelly and the rest of his amazing team! read more

My wife and I are first time home buyers during this very unusual time, we didn't know what to expect. As we started shopping around for houses we found that the market is very competitive. With so much competition and houses selling quick we knew we needed the upper hand and to take a different approach. Chris was able to help us with that, through a 21 day close. We learned from our research and shopping around for different loans that this was something that was far and few between. Chris and his team were able to make it all happen. Not only is he great at what he does but is very personable, he ensures all your questions are answered and responds promptly to emails. Going through the home buying process can be something very intimidating but, Chris and Team ensured we were comfortable and informed through the entire process! Thanks Chris, Melanie, and Jacob! read more

I highly recommend Chris Fenoglio and his team! read more

This is our 4th house that my husband and I have bought...This is the first time dealing with a Lender that the transaction was seamless for us. After submitting the documentation to Chris we were awarded a sheet that routed the stages of our lending progress. How awesome was that! Chris had us ready to fund within 3 weeks from start to finish. However our buyers had problems with their lender no fault of theirs which pulled all stops on us buying our house and the sellers of our new house as well. Our buyer got his lender from a well known bank which worked 9 to 5 so he didn't have an urgency to say the least. As it turned out our buyers got upset after 3 weeks of waiting for approval. Buyers decided to change lenders and went with Chris. Needless to say we actually was starting all over again after 3 wks into the approval from the other bank. Chris got the files request paperwork that was missing and completed the loan approval for our buyers. Due to Federal Laws we had a 10 day delay and all had to wait it out. As soon as the penalty was over escrow closed 1 week later! So in theory we closed 2 weeks later instead of 5 weeks. Let this message be a warning to anyone who uses Banks for their Lenders not saying that they are all bad but they're going to get paid for the day no matter how much work they do on one's loan. Chris worked in silence as not to stress any of us out, got the job done and and escrow was closed funded and recorded the same day! And that would be both houses not just one! We absolutely love him and his assistant Shelly and our Realtor. Thank you Chris you will be our forever Lender. Due to his quick action and organization, He saved us from losing the house we were buying. And that's the Truth read more

Chris and his team got the job done quickly and with ease.
