I have known Howard for over 8 years. I have been in the market to buy a home all those years, and due to prices climbing, I haven't been able to find an adequate home. I have had 4 agents working with Howard and he never made a dime, but was always supportive and optimistic, that we would make it happen, and actually meet face to face to celebrate. Well he made it happen and I have an awesome home, great loan, and a PERMANENT broker when I decide to buy another property. I never could have done it without his advice and encouragement. He always told the truth and warned me about risks during the process. He didn't just push the deal through do get it done. He waited until it was the right time for me and my family, and is always willing to take a call from me for any reason. I have bought 8 houses over 35 years, and I have never had someone perform like Howard. He has more than skills. He has character and is honest. Too bad you can't give 6 stars, because he is the best. read more

I just closed on my dream home last month and I could not have done it without Howard! I dumped my original broker and lender at the end of my 30 day escrow because I had lost faith they had my best interest in mind.

A thousand word review could not begin to express our gratitude for Howard and the help he provided in securing our home loan. Had it not been for his extra effort and dedication we probably would not have been able to close. Howard worked tirelessly to find the key players involved when it was discovered that the building we were trying to get into, had pending litigation. When it looked like there was barely any hope left, Howard did some detective work and was able to build the one contact he uncovered, into two and before you knew it, he was able to get the main parties talking. Many days we were on edge not knowing what our future would be, but we trusted in Howard and his experience and in the end, he did not disappoint. We would highly recommend using Howard for re-fi's and for home loans. And especially if you are in the West Hollywood area, Howard is the guy who can get you into your forever home. We will definitely use Howard Allen-Lee, who has become not just our mortgage broker but a friend, for any of our future mortgage needs. read more

Howard ably shepherded us through our first home purchase (a condo) during the height of the real estate bubble. He was well-informed, responsive, and -- most importantly -- steered us away from the sort or risky/predatory practices that led to problems for so many in the market at that time. Since then he helped us with refinancing twice, allowing us to make the most of the changing real estate environment. I recommend him highly. read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Howard from a different perspective. I am a home insurance agent who has had the pleasure of working with Howard for several years now.
