Thank you James - you are sincerely appreciated!

Steve Lopez at Clear Mortgage Capital caught my attention because he advertises lower rates…read more Unfortunately, that turned out to be misleading, as there was no follow-through once I actually engaged him. After I sent him my financial documents to get pre-qualified for a property I was submitting an offer on, he stopped responding. I followed up multiple times by email, text, and phone. When he did respond, he repeatedly said he would call me back, but he never did -- this happened twice. Because of this lack of follow-through, I lost the opportunity to move forward on a triplex I was trying to purchase. He only reached out again after I contacted one of his colleagues. When I later called him back, he again said he would call me in a few minutes and never did. At that point, I stopped reaching out because none of his promises were kept. This experience was extremely frustrating and unprofessional, and it cost me a real opportunity to purchase a property. I will not be using this lender for any future transactions.

Nicholas was super quick with everything and didn't waste time going back and forth. He explained things clearly, got right to what mattered, and that made it really easy for me to make decisions without second guessing.

Overall just a really solid experience. If you're going through a loan and want people who are responsive and actually make things easier, I'd definitely recommend them.

Here's what's next: Customize your offer Choose from a variety of rate, term, and payment options. Complete your application Digitally verify your identity, income, and speak with an eNotary*. Voila! Funding in just a few days! The process is fast, easy and only takes a few minutes to complete 100% online. Continue your application The application was continued over the phone explaining all they needed to know to determine a equity/Heloc only to find out this company based out of California and their underwriters did not approve going forward. This company knew where I lived in Florida and denied going further with my applications according to their underwriters. This company refused to take on the difficult circumstances of my son as co-owner and living in NY as I live in the residence in Florida. I would not consider to use this company.

Erik Board understood from the beginning that we were well-qualified buyers that were going to shop…read morearound for the best rate, as this was not our first home purchase. Erik was willing to compete to provide the best rate, terms, and guaranteed on time closing. He provided a quick pre-approval letter that was needed to make a more competitive offer to the house sellers. He was transparent on budget and the money down that would provide the pricing. Following the home inspection and our intent to proceed with staying under contract, he provided the best loan estimate and fixed rate with no points from a pool of five different lenders that were all in competition for my business. Optimum First won out with a loan estimate that the other lenders couldn't beat. Everyone at Optimum First was very responsive, even at odd hours or weekends. We were moving from Virginia to Texas and with Optimum based out of California, the time zone difference played to our favor since we could email and contact them after work on the East coast and they would respond the same day with the three hour time zone difference. Make sure they lend in the state you are considering on buying. They are CA based and cover a lot of states, but I am not sure if they cover all of them. After we committed to using Optimum First as our lender, we generally had no issues with loan processing and providing necessary documentation or follow-up info for underwriting. However, one word of advice is I would recommend as soon as you know you want to stay under contract (likely after your home inspection) and proceed with the house you want to purchase, obtain your final, bound homeowners insurance policy with your preferred provider (not just a quote, the policy) as soon as possible. This will be needed with Optimum First for your clear to close letter and any buyer financing requirements stated in your contract. It will help make sure you close on time to make sure the policy is in place as soon as you can get when you commit to Optimum and go into underwriting.

When I gave them the case number and asked to speak with someone higher up, they just say my case has been transferred to an expert to resolve without providing any further info. Weeks go by before my mortgage broker finally called his contact at Kind and things seem like it was getting resolved. Then I receive a correspondence that they were transferring my loan to the first lender they transferred to but it should have been the 2nd one, the correct one. Here we are, good 4 months later...
