Extremely disappointed with the mortgage underwriting team at OCFCU. Despite providing clear…read moredocumentation and citing specific Fannie Mae guidelines (B3-3.7-02) regarding business cash flow, the underwriting team ghosted me for a week, and their manager Monica Partida refused to apply standard industry add-backs, resulting in a wrongful denial. OCFCU went back on their word after I was promised by my loan officer Jennie Jacobson. that OCFCU would apply standard industry add-backs to my income. While she promised to use standard industry add-backs to secure my application (and Hard Credit Pull), they then fundamentally changed the "rules" during underwriting to deny the loan. Indeed, the entire culture at OCFCU is decayed with failed communication at each level. Even after escalating my credit appeal to the executive board, I was ghosted for two weeks with zero accountability or rebuttal. The executive board (Kathy Jumper, Donald Carazo and Jeff Harper) never sent me a single message acknowledging my escalated complaint and appeal. My appeal was affirmed and singed by OCFCU fourteen days after the fact and coincidentally the very same day I told them: "Too late, I will be publishing my bad experience with OCFCU online." Although, instead of simply emailing me an update, they claimed to have snail-mailed me the response to my appeal--nothing was ever received in my mailbox. If you are self-employed or have a complex income, save your credit score and go to a lender that actually understands modern secondary market requirements. UPDATE (May 13, 2026): After escalating this matter to the Executive Board and the NCUA, the Chief Lending Officer Jeff Harper personally intervened to make right on the misrepresentation of underwriting standards. The Credit Union has since facilitated the removal of the hard credit inquiry. While I appreciate the eventual accountability from leadership, I do believe the initial process for self-employed members remains flawed. 3 stars for the resolution, 1 star for the experience.

I've worked with JJ and his team for over eight years, and there's a reason I continue to…read moreconfidently refer my clients to them. Real estate transactions are rarely perfectly smooth -- and it's in the complex, time-sensitive moments where true professionals stand out. Time and again, JJ and his team have navigated difficult files, solved problems before they escalated, and delivered results when it mattered most. They communicate clearly, anticipate challenges early, and remain steady under pressure. More than once, they've stepped into situations that required creative structuring, tight timelines, or last-minute adjustments -- and they've simply handled it. My clients consistently feel informed, supported, and protected throughout the process. That level of consistency over eight years is not accidental -- it's a reflection of expertise and integrity. I trust them fully, and in this business, trust is everything.

Can't thank them enough.

My dream was to own a home again but I didn't think it was possible. A friend referred me to…read moreMelissa Tooker and said she has years of experience and will be very honest with me. Initially I was embarrassed to have her run my credit, but I did have to start somewhere. Melissa was so professional and non-judgmental, I instantly felt relief that I could finally share with someone my financial situation. She advised me on the steps I needed to take to prepare me for home ownership. I knew it would take some time but she kept in contact with me offering any help or just to check in and say hi. One year later, I am sitting in the most beautiful home in Laguna Niguel. She pre-qualified me so I knew exactly what I could afford and locked me into a rate before it went up. Melissa Tooker gave me hope again. I have referred several of my single friends to her, encouraging them not to give up hope. Melissa changed my life and I am so grateful to have met this wonderful, intelligent and trustworthy woman. Thank you Melissa, you have changed my life.

She guided us, then backed us in all decisions, we never felt like we had no clue what we were doing, thanks to her taking the time to explain every detail. HIGHLY recommend using Elenna for all real-estate transactions - we won't be using anyone else but her!
