I needed to find a broker/lender that I trusted to move forward with my home buying process. I was…read morereferred to Bodhi and his team by my sister in law who has many clients that speak highly of Bodhi. By the time I spoke with Bodhi, I had already spoken with 3-4 different brokers and I was getting tired. Bodhi sparked a new excitement and confidence in my home buying process. He was detailed and specific on pinching numbers to allow me to feel comfortable with what I could afford (including cash flow). It was important to me not to be house broke and he was always honest with me. Being a first time home buyer is overwhelming in and of itself; having someone like Bodhi and his team who are patient and willing to educate and re-educate was such a relief. I felt like I had someone on my side; it wasn't just about the money. Every time I had a question or needed something, they were always available or would call me back immediately. The process of home buying was smooth and they instilled a lot of confidence and calm in this process for me. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. I highly recommend Bodhi and his team. You won't regret it!

We spent months navigating what felt like an impossible road. Three appraisals. A denial from the first lender. Countless hoops to jump through. So many moments where it would've been easier to just walk away. But you never did. Bodhi and Elsa--you stood by me and my dad every single step of the way. You didn't just process a loan. You fought for us. You believed in the importance of keeping a roof over my dad's head, and you never gave up--even when things got hard. Even when you could have. And here's what meant so much to me, maybe more than anything: you told me the truth. In an industry where silence often replaces honesty, you didn't hide the bad news. You didn't leave me in the dark when we were up against a wall. You brought everything to the table--the good and the bad--and gave me the opportunity to overcome it. That kind of transparency is so rare these days, and it meant everything to me. You saw that this wasn't just about money. It was about dignity. Security. Love. It was about helping an elderly man stay in his home--his safe space, his sanctuary. And you made it happen. It brings me to tears to think about what you did for us--not because you had to, but because you wanted to. Because you saw the heart behind this, and you matched it with your own. This is what it looks like to work with good, ethical, human-centered people. This is who you want in your corner. To anyone looking for a mortgage company that goes above and beyond-- Empower Capital Group is it. Ask for Bodhi and Elsa. They don't just make loans happen. They make miracles happen. From the bottom of my heart--thank you. You didn't just help us with a reverse mortgage. You gave my dad his home. And I will never, ever forget that.

Kelly Ann G. is completely correct. I purchased a new home already set up in the park with a…read moreone-year warranty in place in 2023. Within one month, the primary shower leaked all over my new floors. Initially people tried to help at the sales office but I grew so angry with the delays by the factory in Perris, (an 8-hour drive away from which their imminently unqualified workers drive from), that Robin told me, "I am not their customer" because I didn't buy direct from the sales office, but the man who installed it and sold it to me did. You need to know that the state of California protects manufacted home owners with an additional one-year warranty because without that, I saw the strategy of the factory was to outwait the warranty expiration. Their corporate lawyer told me they would no longer help me after the warranty expired and I had to remind him of my legal rights, which I'm sure he knew. I believe becaause the majority of their buyers here are seniors, they hope to dupe them. It truly amounts to elder abuse. It took me 19-months to get the shower fixed, one I couldn't use for half of the time, after black mold developed. It was so bad I had to move out. My new floor was destroyed. Along the way, the exterior paint proved defective (to which they painted it because I let them know the park was talking). The paint job the factory workers did was abysmal. Paint spattered all over the stone on the unit and pavement because they didn't use tarps, nor did they power wash the dirt off. Ultimately, the shower leakage was due to an defective install at the factory, which had to be torn out and replaced. The shower pan squeaks (it wasn't mounted correctly) and the door had been installed backwards by their factory workers, who Ros Cabral assured me were qualified to install this. They were not. It finally took an outside contractor to fix it. You should see the scraps of lumber they used to build the surround. Now, the mirror in the bath is oxidizing, the door hardware is rusting (they didn't use stainless steel) and the kitchen drawers are falling into the cabinets below because the hardware they used was so cheap. Steer clear of this company. It is and was a nightmare dealing with them. I could go on. This wasn't all. I'm looking forward to moving out of here.

She answered question after question over several months and never appeared put-out with my unending queries. if you are in the market for a manufactured home, give Jennifer a call. She will not steer you wrong. It has been a looong hard haul getting into my Clayton Home. I am thrilled with the home so far, but it is early days. The difficulties came from the county permitting process and PG&E. Their requirements for West County have been tightened to the point of discouraging folks from building all together unless you have unlimited funds. I had an old cabin that we disintegrating. I had the cabin demolished and a manufactured home placed on the property. I am a senior on a limited budget and every week a new regulation came up with the associated fees and paperwork to the tune of thousands of extra dollars added to the price of the home and contractor. I expected permit fees but the new regulations are beyond any expected. After 2-1/2 years of back and forth with the county, I am still awaiting the final approval on the permits. HOPEFULLY, all will be complete in the next few weeks. I am a bit concerned about the complaints I have read about Clayton Homes following up with repairs post sales. People often only post reviews to vent rather than posting about positive experiences, so I hope that any repairs I may need are done well and swiftly.

During my initial weekend visit, she quickly understood my preferences and helped me narrow down my search. When a promising property came on the market after I returned to Boston, she provided such a thorough video tour that I felt like I was walking through it myself. Her responsiveness, knowledge, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process remarkably smooth. Kimberly truly went above and beyond at every turn. She coordinated inspections, arranged for deep cleaning before my move-in, signed for my new bed delivery and setup, and even agreed to receive my car delivery over the Christmas holidays. As a newcomer to California, I was overwhelmed with logistics, but she guided me through everything from acquiring insurance in a fire-risk area to understanding the nuances of Oakmont Village's different sub-HOA requirements. She connected me with reliable inspectors, contractors/handymen, and service providers, drawing on her extensive network and experience flipping homes with her husband. Whether answering questions herself or quickly connecting me with the right expert, her follow-through was impeccable. If you're buying a home--especially from out of state--Kimberly is the best!
