Worst mortgage broker ever! Do NOT deal with these falsely…read moremarketed & shady people. I was directed to them as I work in public education for the state of CA. They are the "Teacher Next Door" program lender. DO NOT be fooled - they are amazingly archaic, oblivious to the current real estate market, and offer very high interest rates! We applied for a pre-approval (not full underwriting) with a hard pull on our credit, submitted documents, proof of income and pay stubs. A week later, they reply and said they are sending out written letter of verification of employment. I said WHAT ? We are not at that stage of underwriting so I was confused. So we then get a call from their network "realtor" asking if we wanted to look for a home. I asked realtor "um where do you suggest we look for a home in Los Angeles County for under $400,000 ?". The realtor said nothing - I said, how about a vacant lot in the Mojave desert ? The realtor said she knows something about Southern California realty so tried to apologize. I could not believe the gall of this mortgage company to offer such a low amount to a state of California employee! Very disappointed with this company. Don't waste your time!

He talks over you. Being deceptive about running credit even when told we were not ready yet. And this was only the beginning of the process. I think a job like this requires patience and understanding especially for first time homebuyers. Taking such a big responsibility is intimidating Upon reading other reviews online, I'm glad I didn't go through with them.

My husband and I had tried to purchase a home three times before. Let me tell you about this craziness. First time we tried we went through so many classes so that we could qualify for help programs, we found a home and were excited only to find out that the program was not what we thought and that loans were going to be similar to a balloon payment and had the chance of loosing our home if we didn't comply with some stipulations for the first years of the loan. luckily we pulled out and were sad as we were back to square one. The second time, we knew we had some credit issues and were working to clean them up, we thought we had a great team found a house and went through the process and at final walk through we found someone had came and stolen all the copper and the air conditioner from the home which made the home unable to be purchased, we searched for other homes found others and were finally told that our credit wasn't strong enough for them to even help us, so we waisted our time and were very sad again with no home. Third time was the worst, we had cleaned our credit, thought we were good this was it we were going to be home owners, they (realtor and lender) had us so excited. We searched and searched for the perfect home. We found the most perfect home ever!! This was it, it was going to happen!! we made it all the way through the whole process and two weeks before closing we received the worst heart wrenching news ever! They called and told us that the lender had pulled our credit one too many times and had made it so that we couldn't qualify any longer and closing was off and the deal was pulled. At that time my husband said NO more, we can rent! I agreed and we rented for almost ten years until one day I was scrolling through FB and was reading some stories about my cousin Michelle Cordova and her new adventures in real estate and how happy she was to make some dreams come true. For the heck of it I called her and told her a little bit of our story cause how could my cousin do me wrong, right?? and she says well can I have Amanda call you and see where your at? I said sure and even told my husband well here we go again, I don't even know if I want to do this, I can't deal with this again. So Amanda calls and we talk and she gets all my info, I felt like we were life long friends. Next thing I know Michelle is calling me and says congratulations you are qualified!!! I swear I was like yeah right "OK" we will do this again and then nothing. Amanda's team asked for some info and paperwork and we complied, I hardly heard from them, I was busy with Michelle looking for a house, when we finally found a house Michelle submitted our offer, it was accepted and the process began. please believe me when I say we hardly new we were in a loan process, everything went so smoothly it was scary, I wondered when I was going to get the bad news about anything and NOTHING!!! I got the ok from the team that were good to close and they always gave step by step info on what to expect, when to expect it and what I needed to do and boom it was always legit!! I cried uncontrollably at closing because I seriously waited for someone to tell me it was a joke! WE WERE HOME OWNERS!!!! It doesn't end there though, one year had passed in our home and we had started to get info from our mortgage co. about refinancing our home and I wasn't sure and didn't feel comfortable, so I called Amanda and told her what they were talking about. She looked into it and BOOM!! Again she made it happen and we refinanced our home and are now paying $350 less in our mortgage!! She is legit!!!! Please trust the process!!! I can never thank her and her fabulous team enough!!

I have heard horror stories about the loan process and was honestly very intimidated by the entire thought of paperwork. Jennifer Hurtado was my initial contact and always made sure to answer my questions. I warned her that I had never bought a house before and she made herself readily available at all times. The majority of the loan process was done in 9 days, signed loan documents 2 weeks early, and closed a day early. The honesty and patience with each member of the team was incredible. I strongly recommend this team to anyone who has general questions or is curious about the home-buying process.
