We reached out to Scot and were immediately impressed with his marketing savvy, his use of high technology (which was especially important to limit exposure in our home), his long list of great vendors and resources, and his professional manner in moving our home from showing to offer to condition clearing to closing. He also handled most of the transaction himself, which we really appreciated vs. delegating to newbie staff. We have bought and sold multiple homes and investment properties throughout the US and we can honestly say Scot is the best!

Dear Craig and Team, Let me begin by saying that it is a…read morerare event for me to sit down and write to a company. If I am upset with a product or service received, I will most often, simply not patronize that company again. Writing is something I do as part of my career as a corporate Sales Director, and frankly, I try to leave it at the office. Occasionally, I am pleasantly surprised when I come across a company that hasn't forgotten what outstanding service means. My experience working with Residential First Mortgage was nothing short of world-class. As a sales professional myself, it takes a lot for someone in a sales or service position to impress me, and that is exactly what happened throughout the entire process of obtaining a mortgage through Residential First Mortgage. Acting on a recommendation from a friend, I called their office. My first impression was positive when a live person answered the phone. I mentioned to this person that I had been recommended to them by a friend, and I would like to speak to someone about a new mortgage. She transferred me to Craig Calentino. Craig asked me a couple of questions and instantly made me feel comfortable with him. It was only later that I discovered that he was the President and CEO of RFM. However, he treated me with such kindness, and respect that he seemed more like someone just starting out trying to earn his stripes than the head of the company. Throughout the process of Craig managing my loan process, I honestly felt like his only client. Communication throughout the process was unparalleled in terms of being proactive. I knew where we were in the process not because I called to ask, but because Craig called me. My realtor even commented that Craig's communicative approach was the key to my offer being accepted. My realtor, along with the listing realtor both commented that they were very impressed with Craig and RFM. I will say that my loan with Residential First Mortgage was certainly not large by California standards, but as a result of the service I received, you would think it was. If you are searching for a mortgage, I recommend you work with Residential First Mortgage. If you are purchasing a starter home or a waterfront estate, they will provide you with the best service I have ever experienced. Thank you Craig and your wonderful team! Best regards, Tom

Anyone trying to buy a house post-2020 in this cut-throat seller's market will tell you how intense…read moreand challenging it can be. You are basically entering a battlefield where you face high-risk conditions that require you and your team to act at lightning speed with total precision to succeed. Who you choose to handle your financing makes an immense difference to the seller. The financiers' integrity, credibility, level of accessibility, and speed of response are all critical and can literally make or break your deal. As a creative professional, real estate finance is not my forté. When faced with needing to absorb so many new, complicated factors both thoroughly and quickly, having Haley at our side was an absolute Godsend. Not only is her patience and agility under pressure astonishing, she is an excellent teacher, and she can run numbers and scenarios faster than anyone I have ever seen. With our stress levels redlining, she went out of her way to make herself available to us whenever we needed her, and she patiently explained (and re-explained) the complex matters, leaving us feeling totally confident with the decisions we were making. When you choose to work with Haley, you aren't just getting an incredibly talented, experienced professional; you are gaining rare and privileged access to someone who genuinely cares about you and helping you succeed. It's evident that the wisdom and knowledge passed down through her father has amplified her natural abilities to progress her proficiency and competence to a much higher level than someone without it. There are people you work with who are "just doing their job," and then there is Haley. She is as sharp and masterful with her craft as she is genuine, kind, and caring. You can't ask for a better person to have in your corner, and I simply can't recommend anyone more highly.

There were also a lot of competing buyers, some with higher offers. Matt crafted our offer to make it as best as it could possibly be in every way. He really understands the notices the small details. However, the seller took the house off the market when their new home purchase did not go through. Matt stayed in contact with the seller's agent for a whole year to see if/when the sellers would put the house back on the market. He called, emailed, texted throughout the year--all very professional and thoughtful--a lot behind the scenes. He also advised us to send a heartfelt note to the sellers. When he finally heard that the sellers were thinking of selling again and were willing to entertain another offer, he helped us submit another even better offer that the sellers could not refuse. The sellers never put the house of the market again; instead they accepted our offer!!! As a result of Matt's dedication, professionalism, and skills, we got our dream house! This changed the course of our lives, thanks to Matt. We've lived in our dream house for a year now--we are just so happy and never want to move again. No other realtor would do what Matt did. I could go on and on about Matt. For example, if you have any questions or issues even after the transaction has closed, Matt has always been available and happily willing to answer questions or guide us in the right direction. Matt has helped us with 2 other real estate transactions, and our experience has been nothing but GREAT. If we need a realtor again in the future, we will definitely contact Matt again. Matt is the best!

Working with Derek made the entire process of selling and buying our home feel incredibly easy and…read morestress-free. Because we still had a tenant in the house, we listed it as "coming soon" and only did private showings. Derek handled everything seamlessly and, after just a few private showings, he found us an all-cash buyer who was ready to move quickly -- all before the home even officially hit the market. Shortly after selling our home, Derek also helped us find our next home, and it truly checked all of the boxes for our growing family. Throughout the entire process, he was proactive, communicative, knowledgeable, and always one step ahead. What really sets Derek apart is how personable and trustworthy he is. He has great ethics, knows the local market and communities extremely well, and genuinely cares about finding the right fit for his clients and their families. We always felt supported and confident working with him and couldn't recommend him more highly.
