Working with Mina was a dream! She explained everything simply for us and showed us different options to financing our loan that could help us save money up front. Mina is quick and responsive. She turned around our preapproval within 24 hours! I highly recommend working with Mina and her team fo your mortgage needs! We will be referring her to our friends and family.

Mina was absolutely amazing to work with. We were referred to her by our agent, which turned out to…read morebe one of the best decisions we made. From our very first call, we were extremely impressed with her knowledge and professionalism. She took the time to truly get to know us and understand our homebuying goals. As first-time homebuyers, the process was entirely new and, at times, overwhelming. However, Mina has a calming and reassuring presence that helped alleviate many of our concerns. She was able to help us close on a very tight timeline, which made our offer stand out. She also turned around mortgage scenarios quickly for multiple properties we were interested in, with varying financing options--sometimes even multiple times in a single day. Every time we spoke with her, she was transparent about the process and clearly communicated next steps. Thanks to her diligence, she was able to lock in our rate just before they increased significantly, which we are very grateful for. She was always available when we needed her, and we truly could not have asked for a better lending partner. We look forward to maintaining our relationship in the years ahead as we settle into our new home.

Mike was awesome to work with during my home refinance. As a new homeowner (and one that is always…read morelooking to save, yet doesn't know exactly how to do so), Mike was incredibly helpful all throughout the process. He educated me on the pros and cons of doing so and also made it very applicable to our specific situation. It's important to note that this all happened during the first six months of the pandemic where there was just so much uncertainty. All in all the process took maybe 3ish months from start to finish and we have been happily locked into our new rate the last year and a half or so. Throughout this time he was incredibly responsive, sending text replies within minutes of me sending off any questions (but not so responsive that it became unmanageable). Communication is so important and doing it right means you always earn my business. I plan to continue discussions with Mike for future similar inquiries. Thanks, Mike!

Our amazing financial journey with Mike Lee began in the first quarter of 2021. He was referred to…read moreus by an amazing Real Estate company, Livingstone Realty Group. We were looking for ways to reduce our debt. Mike was and is very professional. He guided us through the process and offered personal professional assistance at anytime of day and the few times that we needed questions answered late into the night, he was there for us both times. Yes, that's not a typo. He facilitated our cash out refinance and the last quarter of 2021, he facilitated a refinance to further reduce our interest rate!! He is an amazing mortgage broker and we highly recommend him for anyone who needs an honest, thoughtful, professional, and genuinely caring person whom you can trust has your best interest at heart. As we move forward into semi-retirement, we are relatively debt free thanks to Mike and his guidance while facilitating our financial needs. He is simply the best of the eight mortgage brokers we have used in our property purchases and refinances. Gail and Rufus Thompson

That being said, it made it essential for things to move quickly that day. When I arrived at the Irvine branch with our purchase order, the loan officer I was supposed to meet was in another appointment and then heading to lunch which would have cost us an hour and a half delay. Nermen Awad stepped in to help with competence, warmth and tremendous efficiency. I was in and out and back at the dealership with time to spare. I could not be happier, and needless to say my son was thrilled as well. Thank you OCCU.

My husband and I recently purchased a home with the help of Byron, Jinny, Derek and Russell. I…read morecould list a hundred reasons why I love this group so much, but a few that stood out are: 1. From day 1, they've been very honest and transparent and there was never any surprises that could push back our escrow. If they thought that we would have possible issues, they told us upfront and so we were always prepared for anything. 2. If it's your first time purchasing a house, terms and numbers are confusing. But they've explained everything to us so well. And if we found a house that we liked, all we need to do is send Byron the address and he would email us with the numbers which really prepared us for anything! 3. They're all easy to reach. I could email now and get a response in less than an hour, and if it's important, I could get a call back in minutes. 4. Customer service skills is unparalleled. 5. They give you cookies from Cravory cookies (which is to die for). And once Russell found out that we loved the cookies, they sent us another box! So if I could give them 10 stars, I would. We've had such a great experience with this team, and would highly recommend them to our friends and family.

I had been receiving detailed instructions and assistance from Byron Watson and his team on how to find the place - and they're located across from the Irvine Spectrum, on the 7th floor of the Smile Brands building in Irvine! As I was ushered into the office, I quickly saw that they were ready for my visit. I was greeted pleasantly by the staff and noticed a welcome board with my name on it - wow, impressed already. After some pleasantries, we got some water and got to work. Byron was extremely helpful and patient when explaining every detail of the home buying process that we could get to in our two (2) hour time frame. This meeting definitely increased my confidence and willingness to buy a home, and I'm glad Byron and team were there to show me the first step! Will remain in contact with Fairway and Byron throughout the purchase and financing process. A very professional and informative experience that is really valuable - definitely recommend to anyone that's new to this stuff as well :)

And then there is the level of skill that she brings to the mortgage financing process. Her inherent wisdom paired with her thorough and intentional approach is truly remarkable. For example, she's a pro at active listening and you will be able to tell because she remembers your previous questions and concerns and takes it into consideration during the process. As a home owner going through my first refinance and my first venture at building an additional dwelling unit, I felt completely comfortable talking to Marcie about my goals, objectives and concerns. Marcie was more than willing to take the time and walk me through every question I had...and I had a lot of questions including ones that I should have known already for instance, the difference between a home equity loan and a home equity line of credit or how mortgage points work. Marcie and her team worked with me to come up with the best home loan and were by my side through the whole endeavor, ensuring that the process was moving along in a timely manner. The entire refinancing journey was not stressful at all, actually it was exciting going through each step, learning how things worked and accomplishing each milestone. Marcie even offered advice on next steps for the income property after the loan was approved. I have no hesitation in saying that if I called her today with a question, she would give me the same stellar service I received several months ago. When all is said and done, Marcie is a true mortgage loan whisperer. She will be with you for every step, you will not feel like you are alone but instead you will feel heard, understood and supported. Marcie did not make me feel bad about asking questions or discussing possible scenarios in fact she was fully present and engaged. As a woman of color, I did not have to brace myself for any implicit bias or assumptions about my financial situation, it was such a relief and so refreshing. I whole heartedly recommend Marcie and her team. Thanks so much Marcie and the Quantum team for your excellent service! Much appreciated, Jenn P
