I've been working with Dan (and his daughter) at Emerson Financial for five years, and they've been…read moreincredibly helpful. Dan advised me through the home-buying search then through the two-year wait to refinance. Dan consistently tracked market ups and downs, offering great advice on managing my loan and navigating the volatile market without losing my mind. He's not only friendly and incredibly smart, but he also provides just the right amount of detail without overwhelming me with financial jargon. His organized approach makes everything easy to understand, and I'm definitely looking forward to continuing our work together and recommending him to all of my friends.

He stayed on the phone with me for 10 minutes giving me financial advice and letting me know the loan quote I got from the other company was a good one. Thats honesty.

Wilson and his team at OWN made a stressful process feel easy. They were professional, kind, and…read moreknowledgeable from start to finish. From the first meeting I was impressed with Wilson's thoughtful approach, which was clearly driven by a strong mix of market data and years of industry experience. They far surpassed my expectations, and I would highly recommend Wilson and his team to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Bay Area. Also a big shoutout to Priscilla and Michele, who helped throughout the process and were amazing as well!

I think a 4 1/2 star review would have been more appropriate so I would rate OWN very good. We…read moreengaged Wilson and his team at OWN to sell our home in Millbrae. We interviewed three realtors and we selected Wilson because we agreed with his vision as to how to prepare our home for sale and his assessment of current market conditions. We were very pleased with the decision as we found out that Wilson has a strong team to support the preparation and sales process. A project plan was developed months in advance and for the most part all deadlines were achieved. Luis (contractor) and Priscilia (coordinator) prepared the house for sale on time and on budget. The staging firm did a great job in presenting our home. When necessary Wilson was alway available to answer our questions. The Open Houses took place as we planned months in advance and we were given an update at the end of each weekend. When offers came in Wilson and Cathy (Experttcs) helped us navigate through the negotiation process until we accepted a bid that met our target. We were then introduced to Michele (Director of Ops) and Aldolfo (escrow officer of WFG Title Co.) to guide us through the closing process. Their assistance made the paperwork burden as painless as possible. We were happy with the entire process and impressed with how the Own Team worked together to get the job done. We deducted a 1/2 star because the lateral sewer work mandated by the city was delayed for weeks because the plumber that OWN uses was not available. This caused a delay in closing. My recommendation to OWN is to expand the list of plumbers the company can use. Also, we were assigned an original coordinator with whom we did all the pre-planning. However, when execution time arrived we discovered she left the company. Thankfully Priscilia stepped in and everything worked out fine.

Some people may call him Carlos De La Fuente, but to me he put Pinnacle Mortgage on the map and…read morewill always be the G.O.A.T (Greatest of all times). He came recommended to me by a family member years before I was ready to buy a home, and out of his kindness and heart to give everyone a chance to purchase, he guided me toward what proved to be one of the most difficult but at the same time the most rewarding experiences of my life. Using his recommendations, I worked hard to do my best to get ready for the purchase and when it was time, Carlos went immediately into action and advocated for me at every turn. Though we had to go through the paces, he was kind enough to check on me daily and encourage me to keep going, and to let me know that it would be okay, and we would make it through and be victorious. I honestly believe that if it wasn't for Carlos, I would be looking at renting for many years to come, he helped me believe that I could do it and now I have. He is such a seasoned professional, he could tell me what could happen before it hit, so that I could prepare myself for the roller-coaster in this crazy market. We even had a very tight closing window working against us, but Carlos helped me hurdle over every obstacle. The only sad part in this whole experience is that I won't get to talk to Carlos every day. Carlos for me was more than a Senior Loan Consultant, he was like a brother to me, and I will be indebted to him for the rest of my life. If you are ready to purchase or thinking about making a purchase or a reverse mortgage, there is no one else to call, but Carlos De La Fuente, he truly is the Greatest of All Times!!!!

From the start, Rosemary was very responsive and provided us with a wealth of information. She knew her stuff and it was apparent. All our questions were answered directly and she never pushed us to make one decision over another. She gave us the facts and then gave us time to absorb the information while always being accessible for questions. Rosemary helped us through multiple offers and ultimately helped us find a loan option that worked best for us. We signed closing documents for our first home the same day we brought our newborn home from the hospital. We couldn't have done it without the support of Rosemary on our team. I highly recommend working with her for your mortgage needs!

One thing that truly stood out was his support when our home appraisal came in below the contract price.

Throughout the process he was proactive, transparent, and always available to answer our questions.

I had been in communication with separate lenders through big banks, but due to the pandemic, their guidelines made it almost impossible to find a reasonable loan. I was almost ready to give up on the home mortgage loan application process, but Mike made this process go by with ease! Mike was efficient and extremely quick to respond to all of my questions via email. He was very organized with his checklist of documents needed to start the application process. As soon as my documents were submitted, he was able to find a lender who offered me exactly what I was looking for. The entire process went by quickly, as he was able to close in record time: three weeks! As an added bonus, Mike even covered the lender fee!

Eileen's communication was clear and concise, making the complex process as smooth as possible. She was also accessible and responsive at all times and had everything prepared when presenting offers. An offer was accepted in November of 2016 on a beautiful home we never thought we would own in the Bay Area. She quickly guided us through the closing process and the endless paperwork. Although stressful, it was seamless and quick under Eileen. Most impressive of all, she was able to secure our loan in under thirty days due to a demanding seller. I absolutely recommend Eileen as she goes above and beyond for you. She will be there at every step of the home buying process and was even present at our escrow signing! I would definitely work with her again.
