He was my go to person for all things financial related to home ownership and he knew i could count on his honest advice. He always delivered the honest feedback regardless whether or not we'll end up with his services or not. He also did fair price and rates comparison with other providers and was always available to answer any questions or take those lengthy calls if needed. But not just that, he also offered the best rates in the town which always helps financially. 10/10 from us. I'd highly recommend working with him and his team!

I'd like to share my experience with you.

I was introduced to Nicole through Feagley Realtors during the pandemic when getting immediate help from a lender was challenging due to high demand. Nicole promptly handled my paperwork and assisted me in securing a very good first loan as a first-time home buyer. The remarkable part is that it was all done over the phone and email; I only met Nicole in person after the closing. Fast forward two years later, I returned to Nicole's to strategize my second loan. Without the advice and attention Nicole provided the second time around, I'm unsure if I could have obtained another excellent loan for a second property. Nicole and her team worked wonders for a blue-collar worker like myself, hailing from Richmond with little money but a dream. I'll forever be grateful to Nicole and her team for turning my real estate dreams into reality. I hope to return to her office for loan #3 when the time is right, God willing. I strongly encourage you to consider talking to my lender. Honest, Reliable and down to earth person!

This is the fifth house I've purchased in my life and this was the first time I didn't panic during our loan underwriting. Outside of this experience, closing on time always felt like it was at risk. This time, we had 3 week close and actually closed a few days early. Brenda was extremely proactive, communicative, and responsive. We could not believe the seller went with us despite not come in with the highest offer. We were told through their agent one of the reasons they accepted our offer was because of Brenda's reputation. You can't ask for more than that

Working with Marco and Vanessa Rodriguez (the MVRod Team) to sell my inherited property was an…read moreexceptional experience. The home needed repairs, but they brought vision, encouragement, and a clear plan that truly brought the property back to life. I had interviewed another agent whose low price, quick sale strategy felt self serving. Marco and Vanessa were the complete opposite -- they listened, understood my goals, and genuinely wanted the best outcome for me. They guided me through a thoughtful home refresh based on their deep market knowledge and understanding of what today's Buyers want. Even though I live out of the area and was frequently traveling, they handled everything seamlessly. I still remember Vanessa telling me, "Go on your vacation and don't worry; we got you." And they absolutely did. Their professionalism extends beyond the two of them -- their entire support team, from Jennifer (admin) to Flor (transaction coordinator) to Wendy (escrow), is outstanding. They have their process dialed in, and it shows. Whether your home needs updating or not, Marco and Vanessa know exactly how to make it shine. They are truly a top notch team.

First time homebuyer and being naturally cautious, skeptical and realistic (e.g always leaning…read moretowards the negative), I was expecting the whole mortgage process to be hell. Was referred to Janice by my real estate agent and could not be any more thankful to the whole team for a relatively smooth process. As stated by previous reviewers, Janice is very professional, knowledgable and efficient. May I add that she is very patient and will really take the time to explain things to you. I had countless questions (which I feel were both valid and stupid) and she patiently answered them. That's not to say the mortgage process was 100% trouble free - - there were a few hiccups here and there but overall, the process was smooth sailing. Not sure how many people actually search Yelp for mortgage brokers but want to make certain that if anyone decides to actually look this team up here, they will read some feedback and hopefully be reassured that they will be working with very competent folks. Cheers! Again, don't expect the process to be perfect but if you work with this team things will be easier than you anticipate it to be! Thank you PCM team!!!

GWEN BROUSSARD IS OUR MIRACLE WORKER AND THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS!…read more This is an extremely long review, but please read it unto the end: We were currently living in a beautiful, convenient, brand new downtown Oakland apartment. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were given a 90 days' notice to vacate! A dear church member put us in touch with a mortgage lender who qualified us for enough to make a purchase and we were given one of their real estate agents to work with. Being new to the entire process and not knowing that we could use the lender for funding, but select our own agent was traumatic at best! The agent soon dropped us and we were left dead in the water, with now less than 60 days to vacate our unit! We came to Gwen under the direst of circumstances and implored her real-estate prowess for assistance. She gave us a timeline and said "Stick with me and WE WILL FIND YOU A HOME." She was thorough, efficient, patient and no-nonsense (in working w/the seller's agents). She held our hands and walked us through EVERY STEP OF THE PROCESS! From going out to look for homes daily, on down to explaining all the ins and outs of the contracts/agreements, to connecting us with the finest network of agencies, (i.e. home and pest inspectors, etc.) to assist us in the purchasing process. She is a down-right maven, an authority and expert in all things real estate! I can't imagine NOT having had her to be our agent for purchasing our first home! She encouraged us until the very end. There were MANY times we wanted to give up. We were facing this incredible deadline and didn't know if we should just throw in the towel and rent an apartment for $2200/month or to keep searching. She made the entire ordeal something we could totally conquer and wondered why we hadn't sought out her services sooner! We got an offer accepted on our new home about a month before we were mandated to be out of our apartment. She made it possible for the deal to be expedited and we were able to move out of our apartment and received the keys to our beautiful new home on the same day! Our mortgage is several hundred dollars below what we would have given away in rent. Our home is absolutely amazing and perfect for our little family; our neighborhood is cute and the neighbors are friendly. I recommend Gwen not only to YOU but to anyone! As a matter of fact, I recently did recommend someone to her. I had the opportunity to share with her how easy the entire process was with Gwen and how her knowledge and understanding of real estate is a must have and just how REALLY DOABLE the home buying process is with a fantastic agent. She not only took my suggestion and contacted Gwen, but do you know SHE TOO just received the keys to her new home and her deal was completed in even less time than ours! I myself was amazed at how quick the transaction happened from start to finish! I'm telling you from my own personal experience, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A REAL ESTATE AGENT - DO YOURSELF A FAVOR - GET GWEN!!!! You'll thank me that you did and soon be sending my invitation to the housewarming party for YOUR new home! Thanks Gwen Broussard for making a lifelong dream our present day reality for our family.

Let me step back and say this first - My family has a long history of buying all sorts of insurance over the last 30 years. In that time, we have met many people in the insurance industry across various roles. With that context in mind let me say this. Kenny is amongst the most thorough, knowledgeable, and helpful people I have ever met. He is not trying to just "sell you something." Instead he works hard to understand why it is that you think you need the insurance you have asked him about, he uses his intellect and creativity to suggest other options if they are appropriate (his feedback many times proved better than my own initial assumptions and work), and wants above all to help you. He is responsive, razor sharp, and high integrity. I started this review with the word "exceptional" - well, there is "exceptional" and then there is "truly exceptional" and then there is "rarely seen level of exceptionalism" - and for me, Kenny is just that.
