Chris was always responsive, communicative, and proactive about keeping us informed at every step. He answered all of our questions quickly and clearly, which gave us so much peace of mind during what can be a stressful process. Beyond that, he's just a genuinely personable and kind person, just an absolute pleasure to work with. We're so grateful for his expertise and support, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a smooth, efficient home loan experience!

Because of his thoroughness, the underwriting process moves very efficiently, with little to no additional documentation requested. He explains each step of the loan process clearly and patiently, making sure you understand what is needed and why. His communication is transparent and organized, which makes the entire experience much less stressful. Thanks to his careful preparation and proactive approach, my loan was approved very quickly and smoothly. I truly appreciate his professionalism, efficiency, and dedication.

But Adam exceeded our expectations and has been a tremendous help for us. We were introduced through referral via our agent and we are so grateful for the opportunity to cross paths with him. He is an EXCEPTIONAL loan officer/broker and we couldn't be happier with his service. We had a lot of questions regarding the process and were searching at a time where rates were extremely challenging, but Adam helped us find an incredible low rate, which made purchasing a home possible. We shopped around, and trust us, you cannot beat his rates! He is straight forward, honest, demystified all things mortgage/lending, and was razor sharp the whole time. With his support, we closed fast, smoothly, efficiently and he made sure it was painless. We had a planned week trip during our closing period, and he made sure we had everything in place and communicated well so that we didn't have to worry. He puts his clients first and is responsive. Something we did not realize while purchasing our home was how an optimized portal makes a difference in the process. Adam's portal was easy to navigate and user friendly compared to other platforms. He's always one step ahead, which gave us a competitive edge to secure a home. We will be using him again when we refinance and have full confidence recommending him to everyone we know. Can't recommend Adam enough!

Mortgage lending can be painfully confusing with all of the programs, qualifications, and various factors involved, but Norma made everything easy to understand. The most important thing for us is that Norma was HONEST! She didn't mess around with pipe dream promises, but told us exactly where we stand. She is all about ethics and not putting buyers in a precarious position come closing time. I thank Norma for her time, patience, and willingness to work with me and I absolutely recommend her if you are looking for a spectacular lender.

I feel so fortunate to have found Scott Wise and Reliance financial…read more Reliance Financial had the best rates for a refinance, that I was able to find anywhere. Scott was so patient and available, through the whole process, helping me navigate different rate and lender credit options, answering paperwork questions, and walking me through each step of the process. In my opinion, the only thing more important than a good rate, is a broker that you can trust, who prioritizes relationship building and doing what is best for the homeowner. I plan to use Reliance for every refinance or home loan I might ever need in the future, which is a great peace of mind. Thanks again Scott!

Corinne came highly recommend by several family members and she is truly amazing! She is…read moreprofessional, extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure we got into our new place in Manteca, after our first offer on our old home fell through. She basically had two loans ready to go--one at 20% down and a second at 5%, in case our old home's sale didn't fund in time. She worked with my agents and the title companies to coordinate everything for us and helped us fund on time. We saved thousands of dollars on our new loan because of her efforts. I can't thank Corinne enough and recommend her highly.

She will email us forms and sheets to help us figure out things on our own too. We like Corinne

In fact, my dad was in the middle of a very slow refinance and Mike was able to get him out of it - at a better rate - and still closed faster than the original.

I recommend them to everyone I know and will use them again if the opportunity arises. This seems like a paid review but I promise it's not. Use them, you will not regret it.

Several staff told me I qualified…read morefor a promotional interest rate and then strung me along for weeks as I opened and funded an account. A week later a banker informed me she had finally applied the interest rate, but the following week, still no rate and I was left calling in again to get information. The banker finally called and informed me I never qualified for the promotional rate. No apology, no we made a mistake, just go bank somewhere else. A follow-up complaint to a manager produced no result. This combination of sloppy work and miserable customer service has caused me mainly great frustration, but for others it could be financially costly.

We recently had the opportunity to refinance and without hesitation, Stephen reached out directly to us as soon as he noticed rates were coming down.

I'm very grateful for Stephen and his team and will definitely be referring him to our friends and family.

Based on his numerous good reviews, I messaged Stephen early last August about the possibility of…read moregetting a United Wholesale Mortgage (UWM) 15-year fixed home loan at 1.99%. This was a new program announced by press release, which I read about in a Yahoo! Finance article, through a link on Google News. Having worked previously in real estate and finance, I knew what the key points were to our situation, so I included those in the message to Stephen, asking whether he would be able to do the loan. Stephen responded abruptly by saying that he would have to talk with me by phone, to discuss "details." After I called him, he proceeded to try to browbeat me into accepting a different program at a higher interest rate. His approach was to use old-fashioned psychological pressure tactics, along the lines of: "Are you so naïve that you think you could actually get such a loan? That rate is just a teaser that you would never actually get." He was crude, demeaning and even insulting. I informed him, politely, that I had a background in real estate and finance, so I was not naïve about these things, offering him one last chance to do business with us, if he was so inclined. But he insisted that the loan would not be possible for us, so I thanked him and said goodbye. Shortly thereafter, I found a straightforward loan broker who in fact did the loan for us, on exactly the terms I had in mind: 1.99% 15-year fixed, with a reasonable fee. We closed in less than three weeks and none of the things that Stephen said were obstacles turned out to be an issue. I am pleased to report that my wife and I are now enjoying substantially lower monthly payments. BOTTOM LINE: If you want someone with an "old-school" approach to sales--involving psychological games, pressure tactics and absence of transparency (resulting in your not getting the best deal that you could)--Stephen Wong may be a good fit for you. Anyone interested in connecting with the straightforward broker we ultimately used is welcome to send me a private message, as I'm not allowed to include that information in my review.

So this bank had my review removed that is a real true review…read more I have all the evidence needed to bring it to light that this bank is stealing money from member. My account would always be at a negative balance even after depositing cash into an atm. I brought it to their attention and was sent new atm cards but I was still being charged. The last card they sent I didn't even activate it to see if I as just imagining it or my account as soon as I put money in practically spent itself without activating the new card and I never got checks either. I had my account for less than a year and have NEVER had so many problems with a bank. It became depressing that all my Tip money from my clients, I'm a hairstylist, was feeding this never ending bank account. I made 1 last deposit to bring my account to good standing before I had enough of this cycle then all of a sudden my account was nearly $1000 over drawn, I was locked out of my bank access and have spent nearly 3 my months disputing my account after they have already charged off my account, sent my account to collections, put me in check systems and had a Highly Negative remark put on my credit that ultimately disqualified me from getting an apartment for my self, I couldn't pay my credit card bills without my checking account so now those are late plus added fees due to the negligence of Pacific Service Credit Union. They finally contacted me today, that Jojo bless his heart, he called to say we were able to fix your credit and take you out of check systems, we reversed all fees that you were charged and zeroed out you account. All while holding a grin I could hear over the phone thinking I wouldn't catch that last part..... wait what did you say? You zeroed out my account but I had a positive amount of funds JoJo with a "P" for positive not an "N" for negative or a "Z" for zero but a "P". While I'm grateful for my credit being fixed and being taken out of check systems, P.S.C.U is responsible for my hard earned reputation of on time bill pay being tarnished. You should be held accountable and take RESPONSIBILITY for your (knowingly or not knowingly) actions of theft and then trying to cover it up with not allowing me to log in to the account to calculate everything that was legitimately charged by me. Instead I was offered to be mailed a statement stating they ZEROED out my account. Wow you all should be terminated immediately and as a member still because you keep my saving account open, all of the staff including the president who refused to talk to me, be terminated and the member guidelines be rewriting to better suit the members since we all have shared. P.S.C.U should also be made to pay a settlement fee to cover what they have negligently done to me. It will take time to bounce back from this especially after Covid-19 and not being able to take clients for over a year.
