First, I have to say thank you to Lori for making this loan process an easy and great experience…read morebeing my fist time. I was referred to Lori by a family member and I am so happy I worked with her. From the first conversation I had over the phone with Lori I knew how knowledgeable she is and made me feel super comfortable. She was super honest with us and gave us different options on how we could move forward. She will tell you right off the bat the honest truth and won't give you the run around. Process was very easy and Lori was always available at any time of day to answer any of my questions. We are truly happy with her services but most of all her honesty, loyalty and hard work. I am looking forward to working with her again in the near future and will definitely vouch for her when referring her to our friends and family.

Megan is an exceptional real estate agent. I contacted her because I was selling my home and moving…read moreout of state. Megan made the whole process so much easier than I had expected. Before my home had gone on the market, she had already reached out to potential buyers. The week my home went live, Megan had an open house that weekend both days. My home went in contract the following week. It was amazing. Megan is very personable, knowledgeable and great at what she does. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling a home.

We first met Michelle at an open house in March 2022, and were impressed by her attention to detail…read moreand her warmth. When my husband and I decided to start looking for our long term forever home, we started working with Michelle. After a few months, we found what we all agreed was a property with tremendous location and good bones, and were able to acquire the home. Michelle has many great qualities that one looks for in a realtor. She is incredibly responsive. She is honest with what she thinks will work. She doesn't push you to do the easiest path to close a deal (ie higher price). She is patient and will make sure buyers understand the unique vagaries of real estate in California in a high fire zone with earthquake risk. She knows properties inside and out, and will immediately tell you if a property is NOT a good fit. She is a bull dog for her clients. Michelle definitely does not disappear after closing! She was there for EVERYTHING after we closed and helped me get the house to a usable state, including recommending multiple outstanding vendors and putting me in touch with an architect we ended up engaging. She has remained a valuable sounding board for all things on this house. We look forward to eventually moving to SB full time and seeing her more often! I would definitely recommend Michelle Cook!

We were nervous about a 21-day escrow, but she was in lockstep with us the whole way. I especially appreciated the automated emails with To-Do lists highlighting what documents were needed and when and her live video walkthroughs of our closing costs so our questions were answered before it was time to sign. You cannot get this type of personal touch and genuine care from a bank. Thanks Alyssa!!

Stephanie helped my family sell our Mother's home in Westlake Village. She was a true godsend, as…read morenot one of us lives close to Westlake. Two of us live down in San Diego, and the others out of state. Stephanie is a wonderful communicator. She kept us abreast of the entire process and helped us price the home perfectly! We ended up with multiple offers and we got the home sold for $36K over asking. She went way above and beyond in rinsing out a gross trash can that had maggots collecting in it (YUCK) and at the very end, we inadvertently left a few things in the garage that needed to be removed. Since no one was around to remove them, she made the trip to the house and removed them for us. Thank you so much for all of your help and PATIENCE, throughout the process. I know it was a challenge and a lot of work, but you were amazing until the very end. If you need an honest, dependable agent, please give Stephanie a call! ‌
