My wife and I were referred to Mike Pandazos and Golden Coast Finance recently to purchase our first home together. I can't stress how much Mike helped us do everything we needed to do to make all the magic happen. Mike's dedication in his work was amazing and I honestly think we wouldn't be able to get our amazing home without his expertise and knowledge in mortgage lending. Even my realestate agent was impressed on how smooth and how knowledgeable Mike was throughout the entire process. Knowing how busy Mike was with all the other clients, he would still answer all our calls and make my wife and I feel comfortable throughout this journey. Arthur and Vanessa are also a great asset to Golden Coast Finance because they were very organized and clear with all the paperwork they processed. My wife and I will definitely work with Mike at Golden Coast Finance and the team again and I highly suggest anyone else to do the same! We had an amazing experience! :) Thank you Mike and to Golden Coast Finance team! -Allen and Eliza read more

We're so grateful to Mike's team for helping us purchase our new home! They were knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. They worked hard to get us a great rate and made everything feel smooth and manageable. And a special thanks to Arthur for going the extra mile and being so supportive and patient through it all. We truly appreciate everything you did for us! read more

If you're looking for a lending company, look no further. Mike and his team were able to take our paperwork last minute and make the magic happen.

What can I say? This place is a dream! Golden Coast Finance took care of me from pre-approval to closing. Arthur and Mike are wonderful! They both were always available to answer my questions, offer guidance, and ensure me that I was in good hands.

I'm so thankful for the team at Golden Coast Finance as my go-to place for all things real estate and lending. I definitely will be working with them again! A+ read more

This is my second time working with this company. During one of my interactions I had an opportunity to chat with Mike personally and appreciated the time (after work hours) he spent answering my questions. Gladys who was also handling my file was also accessible and friendly when I called with questions. During the process I did compare rates of GCF with two other national lenders and GCF came out on top. With competitive rates and timely underwriting (as least in my case), this is a company I would work with again. read more

Mike and team were great. Gladys was a text or phone call away. She explained every step in details. Artur was very helpful with loan information. Highly recommend this place. read more

Amazing team to work with. They were responsive and kept me informed. They made the process as stress free as possible. I am very happy with the rate I locked in and the overall service. Highly recommended. read more

Mike and the entire Golden Coast Finance team made my homebuying experience so seamless and enjoyable! As a first-time homebuyer, I had so many questions and was so nervous every step of the way. Mike and Arthur explained every detail (many times) and spent so much time making sure I was comfortable with every decision I was making and every form I was signing. They made a scary and new experience feel manageable and even fun. Not only were they patient and kind with me, they were so knowledgeable about the entire process. I was so confident that they had my best interest in mind. I wouldn't go anywhere else! read more

Mike and his team are the best. From the fist call I had with Mike to the closing of escrow the whole team was amazing. I remember Mike was vacationing with his family and took the time to answer some questions we had after attending an open house. They made a stressful process much easier and better for us. One day we were looking at a home we loved and in less than a month we closed escrow and all thanks to Mike and his amazing team at Gold Coast Finance. Special thanks to Mike, Vanessa and Arthur for always answering all our questions even when it wasn't related to them directly. They always found the the way to get an answer for us. Thank you guy's so much for all your hard work. read more

Great team to work with! Arthur kept us informed the entire time and walked us through every step of the process to help secure our financing for our new home. Mike's entire team is awesome - friendly, fast, efficient, and very very clear. I highly recommend the Mike Pandazos team for mortgage opportunities. Thank you thank you! read more

My husband and I had the opportunity to work with Mike, Sarmen, and the Golden Coast group. From the moment I spoke with Mike (We had spoken with 3 other lenders of different firms), I knew I was never going to look further. Mike's speaking habits are very friendly and warm when on the phone. I felt relaxed and the urge to apply immediately. Our pre-approval was given in a span of 24 hours. Once we found the house we liked, we asked for more money and was approved immediately. The application process was easy, taking me 30 minutes or less. I had access to Sarmen, my assigned lending professional, who answered all questions and concerns 24/7, and even holidays. This is our first home, and we were in awe how the process went so smoothly, comparing it to some horrible home-buying stories (especially in today's market). We closed in less than a month- 21 days. We were going to get a home but ended up with a dream home, because we had access to needed funds. If you want a lender who is open, well informed and will support you through the whole process, trust me on this. Make sure you have all your finances in place, stay positive, be open to the lenders, and you will have no regrets. We are so happy and looking forward to buying more homes and sending family and friends to this awesome group of lenders who went above and beyond. Thank you, Golden Coast you truly lived up to your name of "Golden." We are very lucky to have worked with you. read more

Honestly Mike and his team did great on both my home purchase and refinancing it. They always were there when I had any questions or concerns even after closing the escrow. Thanks a lot Mike, Arthur and Oscar for being there and helping us during all the process. read more

Mike and his Team have been amazing to work with in purchasing my home. They're responsive, supportive, and they work with my realtor so well! They made everything so smooth, and they work so hard. For sure I will be using them again if I can save up for another home purchase. Thanks guys! read more

I can honestly say Sarmen made my first home buying experience a very pleasant one. From our first conversation he explained each and every option that was available to me and I never felt pressured into any decision. My phone calls were handled in a professional and timely manner. All in all I really couldn't imagine my home buying process being any easier. Even now that the deal is done I would still feel 100% comfortable calling Sarmen with any questions. He extended his expertise beyond the scope of the business deal and I look forward to contacting Sarmen for my next home purchase. Thanks for everything Sarmen, Mike and the team. read more

A very professional team, that I'll refer to all my friends. Ask for Arthur, he will answer any question, he is very friendly and thoroughly explained my options before making any decisions. read more

Searching for a home is a journey, and we could not be happier to have taken that journey with Golden Coast Finance ("GCF"). We were connected to Mike and team by happen chance. We submitted an offer, and were asked to cross qualify with GCF...just another hoop to jump through we thought to ourselves. But we were wrong. Though we didn't end up with that property, we did get connected to a wonderful broker with GCF. From the very first conversation with Mike, he had made a great impression and we felt confident that the entire GCF team would be just as great. Fortunately, this time we were right. Mike and the GCF team are super responsive, thoughtful, thorough, answered all our questions and given that this was our first home purchase, we had a lot of questions. Mike had recommendations for us when needed and he gave us his opinion when it mattered. He and his team were professional, kind, and efficient. We were kept in the loop throughout the entire closing process. From the moment our offer was accepted to the very last day of close, he made sure the process was as smooth as it could be. Any wrinkles that did come up, he helped us iron out and explained what was happening each step of the way. Inherently, home buying and finance of said purchase is transactional but Mike and the GCF team found a way to go beyond that and at the end of the day he stayed true to his word and each conversation felt authentic. He made the biggest investment of our lives seemingly easy and we are happily writing this review from the comfort of our new home. We are recommending GCF to our friends and family and to everyone reading this. Thank you GCF! read more

I really love this team! There were a few hiccups with my refinance that had nothing to do with the GCF team. These "hiccups" made me really nervous and question whether or not I should continue with the refi. Brenda was so patient with me, answering all my questions and allowing the space I needed to make my final decision. I look forward to working with Brenda and Andrea when I purchase my next home read more

Amazing team! Had such a great time working with them. They were there for me every step of the way and that was especially important to me as a first time buyer. Highly recommend! read more

Mike and his team went above and BEYOND our expectations - After opening escrow on a home, our original lender let us down and took back everything he had initially promised and given us. As you can imagine, this is not exactly the situation you want to be in when you've opened Escrow in a competitive market.... Luckily, we were recommended to Mike at Golden Coast and he took matters into his own hands. He worked with us diligently day and night to go through the motions and take care of us. We are so thrilled with his first class service - definitely looking forward to working together again in the future!! read more

Mike and the entire team at Golden Coast Finance are absolute rock stars! Just finished the 2nd new home purchase with them, both 21-day accelerated cycle escrows which gave us a competitive edge when making the offers. Team was on the ball from day one and drove the process forward one step/hurdle at a time. Mike's also been very competitive with his rates all along - beating both major banks and the specialized high volume mortgage processors like Cash Call etc. In the end what matters to me today and moving forward is the trust relationship that's been established with GCF - I know they will give me the support needed and will execute without a glitch for the next 10 or so real estate deals. Congrats Mike and team, well done! read more

My real estate agent recommended Mike and his team to my fiance and I as we were in the midst of buying our home. I don't have to tell you that buying and financing a home can be stressful. Mike and his team were in constant communication with us as went went thru the process of securing our loan which closed recently. The entire transaction went very smoothly and we were given the keys to our new home a few days ago. read more

Hands down one of the best I've dealt with for my home loans and financing. Mike secured my first home purchase loan a decade ago, then again when I bought my next several properties. The personal attention he and his team gives is top notch. Everything runs smooth, promptly and professionally. Been utilizing his services for years and anticipate to for years to come. read more

This company is THE best financial company I've ever worked with. They were referred by my teal state agent in the middle of my escrow since my previous agent didn't meet the deadlines and was very hard to get a hold of, Mike and his helper Arthur took over the loan process. They collected all of my documents within a day, send the estimate break down letter and found a bank all in the same week. They called every day to explain to me the process, guided me and advised in my first house purchase. They closed the escrow the day they promised and found me the lowest rate it could possibly be out there without having to pay for any points. They worked hand in hand with my real state agent, and escrow company. There was not miscommunication whatsoever. They were very reliable, professional and trusted during the process. Honestly, if I ever decide to buy another house I would not think twice about Mike and his team. They are very experienced. Also, they send me a few gifts that showed their appreciation and how much they care about their customers. read more

Mike is just hands down the best lender there is. I've worked with him and his team when I purchased my home and then through two mortgage refinancing. He is always the consummate professional. He makes sure you understand everything, keeps you in the loop, and has a hard working team behind him. Mike always got me the best deal and made it seem like I was his first priority, even though I can be a lot sometimes. Amazing! Thanks for everything! read more

There is no one better than Mike as a broker, hands-down. Mike and his team (Oscar) are super efficient, experienced and very professional. Communication is effortless with Mike as he quickly will get back to you and answer all your questions and keep you up to date. Mike was patient with me for about a year with me constantly bugging him for multiple pre-approval letters, questions, scenarios, etc. My loan also ran into a bit of a hiccup since the appraisal came in severely short which could have made things complicated. Luckily, Mike was equipped to quickly combat that obstacle by going thru another lender in such a quick timespan and the appraisal came back fine the 2nd time around. With Mike, not only are you lucky to have an experienced and skilled broker at your disposal, but you also have a very ethical person. Oh, and he also got me a great rate. read more

I would like to say what an amazingly smooth and easy process refinancing was with this team...you guys are an amazing team and I am so beyond happy!!

They give all my clients VIP service. Their team is efficient, transparent, and always solutions oriented.

Mike and his team at Golden Coast Finance were AMAZING to work with. I actually work in the mortgage industry and have never experienced such quick and excellent service. Mike walked me through the entire process and was available whenever I needed him. And his staff, most importantly Brenda was on her game and always willing to take time to fill me in on status and answer questions along the way. They worked with us to do a 25-day escrow, and although it was stressful at times, Mike and Brenda and team pulled it off ahead of schedule, even with a last minute change that caused a couple day delay that was my fault. The process was so smooth. I HIGHLY definitely recommend Gold Coast Finance and I look forward to using them again for future properties and refinances... Thank You Brenda, Mike and Team!!! read more

Mike and GCF have been my broker for 7 years. Mike helped me to purchase two properties in the past and last month we refinanced them with a low rate.The process has always been smooth and quick.

He's truly one of the best in this industry. Thanks to the entire team. read more
