As of today, I'm officially a homeowner, and I couldn't be more thankful for Steve Kim and the team…read moreat Compass Lending Group. I was introduced to Steve through a mutual friend, and from the start, he was incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and really took the time to help me understand everything. He broke things down clearly, gave honest advice, and always made sure I was making decisions that fit my budget and goals. I never felt overwhelmed or lost--just supported every step of the way. Big shoutout to Susana Lee too. She was amazing at keeping everything organized and making sure nothing slipped through the cracks. Her follow-ups and attention to detail made the whole process smooth and stress-free. One tip I'd give to other first-time buyers: don't be afraid to ask questions, even the ones that feel basic. Steve and Susana were incredibly patient and helpful, and having that kind of support made a huge difference. Really grateful I got to work with such a solid team. They made a complicated process feel manageable and even enjoyable. I'll definitely be working with Compass Lending Group again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a team that truly cares.

We started our home-buying journey back in 2021, and I probably asked a million random questions…read morealong the way. Through all those years, Eddie was always patient, never once making me feel like I was bothering him. He answered every call, every text, every email--always with professionalism and kindness. When it finally came time for the lending process in 2025, he invited us to his office before signing any official documents so we could review everything together in person. Even though he could have easily handled it over the phone, he wanted to make sure we fully understood every detail. That extra step gave us so much confidence and showed how much he truly cares about his clients. Fast forward to today, we are officially homeowners, and we truly don't think we could have done it without him. His guidance made the process so much less stressful, and we always felt supported every step of the way. If you're looking for someone who will be there for you from start to finish (no matter how long it takes), I can't recommend Eddie enough!!!!

I refi last year when the rates were low and went with Journey Mortgage Advisors. Why? Because in…read morefull transparency, I have met Jason before and knew he used to work with mortgages all his life. So thus after talking to him on the phone (Since Covid times we couldn't meet in person), all of our forms and paperwork were all done on line. It couldn't be any easier. My significant other and I originally went with a regional bank for our mortgage. I have to say, we didn't like it because of the amount of paperwork involved but we did it because we had an checking account there. So when we had to refi the first time, it was a lot of work. So much so, I was almost afraid to refi again. That is, until we did it with JMA. It was easy. Stupid easy. There were forms you needed to upload and depending on how fast you want to close, you'll need them done by a certain time. Since everything was done on-line and you have Jason guiding you through, the process couldn't be any easier. Also, we had questions on the weekend because my personal work schedule isn't like anyone elses. Of course, Jason will reply even during weekends. Super impressive with his professionalism and knowledge. The only time we had to do a face to face during this process was with a notary. We did a outdoor meet and even that took no more than 40 minutes with all the paperwork. The first time we did our mortgage, our paperwork alone took 2 and a half hours. I sh*t you not! Now, we have auto-payment set up and in 15 years, we will have this place paid off! Definitely cannot wait until then but for now, I would suggest you go with JMA for all of your mortgage needs.

Alan is a Godsend! I…read moream a first time home buyer and unfortunately made the mistake of trusting the first mortgage agent that sounded confident and friendly. I initially applied through the chariot bank because they were the home seller's preferred lender. The agent sounded smart and attentive on the phone so I trusted him. Unfortunately he made a tiny mistake, resulting in me running around each day obtaining documentation after documentation and still ended up with the denial of my loan and the loss of $900 application fee. I did not know this at the time, but apparently this bank is well-known for its irresponsible pre-approvals and haphazardly dragging out the loan application process. One would think they'd show their customers more respect after a major scandal and a public apology campaign. Just when I was about to give up this home-buying mess, my realtor introduced me to a friend who was Alan's client. Alan was extremely responsive with phone calls, emails, and texts. He paid close attention to detail and is always one step ahead of you. He picked up the mess and got my loan approved in 7 days, 3 days before I lose my earnest money deposit! I cannot thank him enough for making my home purchase happen! I will not hesitate to call up Alan if I ever need to buy another property again, and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy a home!

Steve Marche and the entire team at Great American Funding Corporation are amazing!…read more We were most likely one of their most challenging clients for a loan with the head of household being disabled on SS. Steve and his team never gave up to successfully secure a loan for us. They did not just do the minimum required, they went above and beyond. Each step in the very complicated loan process (for us as first time borrowers) was followed up via emails and phone calls. When the first and second options fell through, he swiftly went on to option three. Giving up was not in Steve's vocabulary. It was not discussed, not once. When we had questions, it was never too early or too late to contact Steve. He would pick up the phone and take his time to explain everything. If he did not have the answer at his fingertips from 30+ years of experience, he was honest, found the answer and called us back. When we were discouraged and stressed, borderline rude, he understood and told us to not give up: "I got you, hang in there" were his kind words we heard a few times. And he was right! He and his team got us. They handled it all. We highly recommend Steve and the entire team at Great American Funding Corporation.

Success in life is largely based on who you align yourself with in various areas…read more We started to Refi our loan almost 12 months ago. We had some credit score issues but my income and debt to income were solid. I went from one broker to another who said they could get it done for me only to end up wasting time and money. Most of these guys use the same system and the mortgage business has reduced all of us borrowers to just numbers. They put your FICO score into the system and it's either a yes or a no. There is no expertise to this industry it seems. I came across Great American and Steve and he seemed to have a different approach. I presented my situation to him and after some analysis he stated he could get it done. Fortunately, 5 weeks later I have a closed loan through Great American. I am sure it takes years of experience and due diligence making the connections to be successful in this business and Steve has certainly done that. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to get a mortgage loan. Whether you have perceived obstacles with credit or property value, bring them to Steve and he can honestly assess whether you can get the financing you need. I am glad we did and we are now almost $600 in the black every month thanks to Steve's help. We look forward to future success in this area now that we have Steve in our corner.

In September 2017, I refinanced my home using United Finance Corp. located in Tustin, California…read more My broker was Mark VillaGomez. The reason I chose United Finance Corp. was because of the information I received in the mail, and the biz was related to my original home purchase financing. I called the number on my literature and Mark VillaGomez. From the onset, Mark was courteous, helpful, knowledgeable and professional. He provided me with information regarding the refinance process and explained, in detail, and what I needed to get to him. I or provided him the info he needed, that day, and we started the process. Everything went according to plan, as he told me, which was awesome. We did come down to the wire when it came to diving the documents; the notary notary came to my house at 8:30pm, and again the following morning as she'd forgotten a document. Funding made its way to me a week and a half later or so. Mark and I communicated by email and phone throughout this process. Great customer service, no hiccups, according plan. I paid off my debt with some of the money I pulled out. Since the closure and pay off, my credit has gone from fair to excellent in a short period of time. Thank you Mark! I will refi again in 6-8 months, hopefully, to get rid of the PMI. United Finance Corp was great. As a side note the home appraiser, someone contracted from my area, posted photos on my appraisal documents which were not my house. That's my only concern with the process, Tanya please send me an updated copy as we discussed. The gray and White House pictures on last page of report are not my home. Mine is the one at the beginning of the report.

I must say Juan, and Tiffany are AMAZING and outstanding in their customer relations, I absolutely give them 5 stars. Bonnie the front desk is sweet.

I travel for work and have to be fast and electronic on payments. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again if caught in a pinch. It is no surprise this company is either at or over 100 years old, its all about customer service!
