Honestly, don't rush to give someone credit before real problems happen. She might seem extremely…read moreattentive while you're still in the process of working with her. This was my first time buying a house, and I was introduced to her through someone I know. At the beginning, she called nonstop, saying all the right things and promising the best. But once everything was done and I still had questions and issues that needed to be fixed--my God, trying to reach her was nearly impossible. I am truly disappointed that I trusted and worked with someone this irresponsible. Every time I call, it goes straight to voicemail, and even after leaving messages, she takes one or two days--or longer--to respond, if she responds at all. I still have unresolved issues, and nothing has been properly addressed. I strongly urge everyone to think twice before choosing a loan officer like this.

​Caution: Non-Standard "Teaser" Rates & Bait-and-Switch Tactics…read more​I had a very concerning experience with Optimum First Mortgage. I was initially quoted a highly specific interest rate of 5.123% (a non-standard figure in this industry). Based on this quote, I submitted my sensitive financial documents and authorized a hard credit pull. ​Once they had my data, the rate was significantly increased. When I questioned this, the Sales Manager (James) admitted in writing that the original quote was based on "incorrect input assumptions" and was a "human error." This feels like a classic bait-and-switch: lure the borrower in with an unrealistic rate to harvest their data and credit authorization, then claim "clerical error" to move the price. ​I have officially withdrawn my application and filed formal complaints with the CFPB and the California DFPI regarding these deceptive practices. If you are shopping here, be extremely wary of any quote that seems too good to be true--it likely is. UPDATE TO RESPONSE: Nice try shifting the blame. The data I provided didn't change, but your numbers did. You provided a correct quote, then dangled a fake 5.123% rate to get me to apply, then 'switched' back to the higher rate after harvesting my data. Your Sales Manager already admitted the error was on YOUR end, yet here you are publicly blaming me. This is exactly why I've filed formal complaints with federal and state regulators (CFPB and DFPI). Prospective borrowers: if they quote you a weird number like 5.123%, run. They are just 'capturing the lead' with a rate that doesn't exist.

Their CEO Thuan Nguyen responded and his rate/offer was the most competitive. Decided to give him a call and let him know the situation we were in as we needed to make a rush switch and do everything possible to close in 2 weeks. Thuan assured me they could get it done and looped in his team. This was a very rush/urgent situation given the short timeline. Matt Hang was assigned as my loan officer handling my loan. He and the loan processor Sophie Pham worked diligently and professionally to get to the end goal of closing the loan. Although I probably wasn't the easiest client to work with given the urgency and my constant follow ups, Matt and Sophie remained professional and kept pressing forward to get this closed. We did have to extend two days past the expected close date, but there were several conditions to get through so this was still a solid success. I recommend Loan Factory for both their competitive rates and ability to get it done.
