    We did a refinance with Lee and Aaron and it was such a smooth process.

He worked late hours around my schedule and made the entire process seamless. The loan was underwriting approved within 24 hours, which was impressive. He explored all options and delivered even better results than originally quoted, which exceeded my expectations. Having purchased multiple homes, this was the best experience I had. I highly recommend Devon Doan and Advanced Horizon Lending to anyone looking for a top-tier lending experience.

A friend connected me to a real estate agent who connected me to Travis, and he was kind enough to get on the phone with me at 8pm on a Sunday to talk us through all the steps we'd need for pre-approval and the mortgage lending process. Within a few hours we had a pre-approval letter - it was SO FAST and seamless. When our offer was being reviewed, Travis went the extra mile to connect with the seller's agent and put in a good word for us, and he worked around our crazy vacation schedule (and 9 hour time difference) to get us a good loan while we were in escrow. I couldn't recommend him enough, he's so kind, patient, thorough, and organized. He was very communicative and much faster than working with a standard bank.

I could have gotten the same rate going anywhere else and not had all of the runaround. I have reported MWF to my union to make sure these fliers don't end up in our boxes ever again and to make sure other teachers don't have to go through the mess I had to put up with.

I can publish the lender's name but I would prefer not to. You need to hold your loan officers to higher ethical standards. 3.7%?? Horrible Don't do a refi here. A few months ago, the lender (I won't shame him by using his name - he knows who he is) told me I "barely qualified for an FHA refi" and my rate would have to be 3.7 percent and I would have to hand over my next month's mortgage payment plus my American Express payment and they would pay it and then my loan would close. Really? So I have to hand over 3000 dollars to you and what if there is an issue with the loan? What if it doesn't close? You then have my money. I walked away but not without being threatened with "You won't be able to refi for 6 months." Do you think I'm stupid? Of course I can refi- just not with you. About a week before this played out the lender had called and said to me "Your loan is solid." I just had a weird feeling because he sounded like a used car salesman and a few days later he was like "I don't know if we can do this, we have to raise the rate." I went to my current mortgage company who offerred me 3% and dealt with me professionally. The loan officer never promised anything he just said we will go through the process and it recently closed. Any delay was due to COVID and a backlog of refis. No high pressure tactics, no trying to cheat me by saying I had to take 3.7%. Just a solid loan. Oh and the AMEX payment? My current lender, Michael, just said you can pay it now directly to AMEX or pay it at closing. That's ethical. That's professional. Really calm cool and collected and PROFESSIONAL lender. Stay away from Cal Path. Sunwest, you have a client for life. This is the second refi I have done with Sunwest and both times it went smoothly. Shouldn't have paid attention to the glossy color flyer from Cal Path in my teacher box.

She is incredibly easy to work with, always responsive, and communicates clearly every step of the way. The entire HELOC process felt smooth and stress-free, which is something I didn't think was possible! Uploading documents was simple and straightforward, and both Amanda and Kylie made sure everything stayed on track without any confusion or delays. Their professionalism really stands out--they are knowledgeable, organized, and genuinely care about getting the best outcome for their clients. What impressed me most is that even after we had already started the process, they were able to secure us a lower rate. That level of dedication and follow-through is rare and truly appreciated. If you're looking for a team that makes the process easy, keeps you informed, and goes the extra mile, Amanda and Kylie are the ones you want to work with. Highly recommend!
