As first time home buyers, the sheer idea of buying a house can be overwhelming. From day 1, Matt…read moreand his team were patient, thorough more than willing to help answer (and re-answer) all our novice questions. We left Matt's office confident that if/when we bought a home, O2 would be our lender. Then we found a house... It was a brand new build in Hollister, CA. The builder makes it seem like going with their lender is the only logical, economical choice because of the "credit" they give you towards your closing costs. Needless to say, we drank the kool-aid and signed on the (many) dotted lines. Matt was understanding and even offered to be a second pair of eyes if anything about the contract was confusing. What a guy! Fast forward 6.5 months, we are about to close, and I reach out to Matt jusssttt to make sure we're actually getting a decent deal. THIS CALL SAVED US $100,000. As it turns out, O2's rates were better, their fees were lower and the "credit" we thought we were getting is immediately erased by a fee they charge, so it's a total wash. Matt and his team worked round the clock to make sure we were still able to close on time, which we did. They were prompt, considerate and meticulous. My only regret is not going back to Matt and his team sooner. Whether you are a first-timer like us, or a seasoned home buyer, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND Matt Falconer, Danny Schaezlein and the team at 02 Mortgage. We are life-long customers!

Disclaimer: I do not like giving 1 star reviews, but in this case, it is more than sour grapes, it…read morewas simply an awful experience. We just purchased our 9th home, and the experience with RPM was by far the most disappointing of all the loans we have received. We are very familiar with the loan process having been through it many times before, including as recent as 2012. To make a long story short, we wanted a 7/1ARM product, to which RPM agreed, sent the GFE, and marched forward.On the 17th day, the day contingincies needed to be lifted, RPM informed me, out of the blue, that they needed another 5 days to get the loan, which jeopardized our buying the house. (The house had backup offers). In the end we had to quickly switch products...to a 30 y fixed, the loan we absolutely did not want, at a full point higher, resulting in an additional $300 month payment. Unfortunately, I now am shopping for a new loan, with a new lender, only one month into my loan with RPM. My guess is the loan advisors all have different experience levels and ours was not familiar with the 7/1 product and miscalculated the timings. I will note the branch manager, Jennifer Walker, is attempting to resolve the issue but to date has not. I will update this review if a remedy is found. This loan was incredibly mishandled and we were caught in the middle, causing our family much stress in our move and relocation. I would not recommend RPM to any of my colleagues.

Jennifer Walker is my #1 referred lender. When I call with a client who needs to know if they…read morequalify for a loan she calls them as soon as possible. What I like about Jennifer for my clients is she goes over their total financial package. She wants to know not only will if the client can afford the home loan but can they afford to be a home owner.

She also has worked with my clients for years as they save, or pay down debt and improve credit. She is one of a kind and my first call!

When we started looking for a property in Aptos a year ago, we went to Yelp to find realtors that…read morewere familiar with the local market. Mike Bloch's reviews were great, so we contacted him. He stood out for his knowledge of the Santa Cruz market and his personality and positive, open attitude. We decided to work with him, and he and his team delivered. Within a few months, we found a property we liked, so we decided to make an offer. Even though our offer was good, the seller decided to take a different offer (the house was a duplex, half of it occupied). We continued to monitor the market with Mike's help. We narrow down our search to a very specific, relatively small neighborhood close to the beach. It took us several months, but we finally found a great property, made an offer, and we got the house! Thank you, Mike for your patience and for guidance throughout the entire process! :-) :-) :-) :-) Sincerely, The four of us

My sister and I initially met with him on 5/13/23 at her residence in Aptos, and started the loan process (RV# 4616183) at that time.
