If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Working with Pat…read moreat Central Coast Lending was nothing short of a miracle. From the very beginning, our situation was tough -- the kind of file most lenders would've walked away from or told us wasn't possible. We initially DID have a loan officer completely ghost us right before, but not Pat! He stayed patient, persistent, and focused the entire time. Even when it felt like the odds were stacked against us -- with hiccups in paperwork, last-minute surprises, and a tight timeline -- he somehow made it happen. He communicated every step of the way, always kept us in the loop, and fought hard to get us across the finish line. Because of his commitment, we're now officially homeowners. That still feels surreal to say! I can confidently say we wouldn't be holding these keys today without him. If you're looking for a lender who actually cares and gets things done no matter what, Pat at Central Coast Lending is the one you want in your corner. We'll be recommending him to everyone we know

First of all, buying a home is STRESSFUL! And, to top it off, we had the worst escrow ever...and…read moreNOT because of our lender. But, that's another story!! We worked with Carly Smith from Certainty and from DAY 1, she made the process as smooth as possible, with our impossible situation. We actually were able to get a 14 day close (which is super fast) and Carly made sure that everything was done right on her part and on Certainty's part. We fulfilled all of our obligations, although the escrow did lag behind and finally closed in 45 days. However, Carly's sense of urgency, her communication skills, and her reliability all made the process so much easier to swallow. PLUS, she's knowledge and FUN to work with! You feel like you're working with someone you've known and trusted for years, even though we just met her (via a recommendation from a trusted realtor friend). We just can't say enough about Carly and Certainty Mortgage. In total, this is our 10th home we've bought and hands down, Carly is the best mortgage broker EVER!

Before 1/2013 we talked to Beverly hoping to refi, but due to our loan we were unable to do so. Every few months she would call to check in and let us know about changes in the rules that might allow us to refi. Finally, we were able to and she got us a great interest rate! She was great throughout the whole process! She always kept us informed about what was going on or what needed to be done. This was especially important because we are in Sonoma County and she's in San Luis Obispo. Even after our refi was completed she still kept in contact checking in every few months. Our loan was sold to Wells Fargo and we ended up having some problems with WF and she helped us tremendously in dealing with them. Once again throughout this process she kept checking in with us and even helped us contact key people at WF. I really appreciate all the extra time she put into working with us. She would go to work early or stay late to answer my calls or emails. She was always there for us! I highly recommend Beverly to anyone who is looking for a mortgage no mater where you live!
