I needed to find a broker/lender that I trusted to move forward with my home buying process. I was…read morereferred to Bodhi and his team by my sister in law who has many clients that speak highly of Bodhi. By the time I spoke with Bodhi, I had already spoken with 3-4 different brokers and I was getting tired. Bodhi sparked a new excitement and confidence in my home buying process. He was detailed and specific on pinching numbers to allow me to feel comfortable with what I could afford (including cash flow). It was important to me not to be house broke and he was always honest with me. Being a first time home buyer is overwhelming in and of itself; having someone like Bodhi and his team who are patient and willing to educate and re-educate was such a relief. I felt like I had someone on my side; it wasn't just about the money. Every time I had a question or needed something, they were always available or would call me back immediately. The process of home buying was smooth and they instilled a lot of confidence and calm in this process for me. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. I highly recommend Bodhi and his team. You won't regret it!

There are people who do their jobs. And then there are…read morepeople who change lives doing their jobs. To Empower Capital Group, Bodhi and Elsa--I don't even know where to begin. This wasn't easy. We spent months navigating what felt like an impossible road. Three appraisals. A denial from the first lender. Countless hoops to jump through. So many moments where it would've been easier to just walk away. But you never did. Bodhi and Elsa--you stood by me and my dad every single step of the way. You didn't just process a loan. You fought for us. You believed in the importance of keeping a roof over my dad's head, and you never gave up--even when things got hard. Even when you could have. And here's what meant so much to me, maybe more than anything: you told me the truth. In an industry where silence often replaces honesty, you didn't hide the bad news. You didn't leave me in the dark when we were up against a wall. You brought everything to the table--the good and the bad--and gave me the opportunity to overcome it. That kind of transparency is so rare these days, and it meant everything to me. You saw that this wasn't just about money. It was about dignity. Security. Love. It was about helping an elderly man stay in his home--his safe space, his sanctuary. And you made it happen. It brings me to tears to think about what you did for us--not because you had to, but because you wanted to. Because you saw the heart behind this, and you matched it with your own. This is what it looks like to work with good, ethical, human-centered people. This is who you want in your corner. To anyone looking for a mortgage company that goes above and beyond-- Empower Capital Group is it. Ask for Bodhi and Elsa. They don't just make loans happen. They make miracles happen. From the bottom of my heart--thank you. You didn't just help us with a reverse mortgage. You gave my dad his home. And I will never, ever forget that.

After not receiving a return phone call from his office, I requested a quote using his online request form. His office responded the same day via email asking me for four items of information to process a quote for me. I emailed them the information the same day. After 7 business days and no response, I called Joe's office and spoke with his office manager Christina. I asked her why she had not responded to my request after giving her the information she asked for. She told me she had received my email but there information I provided was blank. I asked her why she had not at least emailed me or called me to tell me she did not receive the information. She did not have any response, instead she told me she would "have to talk with her boss". I told her that since she did not seem interested in helping me that I should "just move on". She told me that I should "move on". The service provided by this office was both unprofessional and disrespectful. This is not a business I would recommend to anyone!!

Myra has been my go to loan officer twice now. She helped me and my wife, at the time, purchase…read moreour first home. Being our first real estate transaction we needed a strong, knowledgeable, veteran to coach us through the process. Myra made the process very understandable, transparent, and quite smooth. We were absolutely thrilled. We started our family in our home raising two amazing young boys, but with time people change and last year my wife asked for a divorce. It put the whole family into a very tough position. Both of the boys wanted to keep "their" home. They didn't understand why they should have to lose "their" home just cause mom and dad weren't going to be living together any longer. I heard some amazing figures from the an Internet loan company and started working with them, what a waste of time!!! Lots of promises up front and when things moved past the initial phase, the numbers kept changing, the " no closing cost promises" evaporated, rates went up etc. Now I could see a reader thinking well yeah that would happen without good credit, well my credit is excellent, yet I am self employed. So once again, I called on Myra, we met at her home office, we caught up on our lives briefly and she took down my information, and looked over the numbers. She was very optimistic. She covered the positives, the challenges, and explained exactly what she needed from me to make this refi-buyout loan happen. To me, it was a long shot, even with near perfect credit!, but I listened and followed Myra's instructions to a T. She worked, I worked and together the refinance came through as she said it could, with the rates she originally quoted, and she got it done five days ahead of the MSA deadline I was facing!! To be able to look my boys in the eyes and tell them we will be able to KEEP OUR HOME!!! was priceless. Me and the boys all hugged and shed some tears the day escrow closed! My oldest son looked up and said " Dad, your a great dad, thanks for saving our home." I owe Myra a great deal of thanks, and hold her with the highest respect. Myra is professional, punctual, dedicated, proficient, super knowledgable, well connected, and simply put Myra is who you want on your team when you want to make any real estate funding changes in your life. Myra cares, she is comfortable, compassionate, and understanding. Yet, she has a very serious side, when needed, to make certain any obstacles are not going to stop the loan funding process once she says it can happen.

I'm sure you already know this, but State Farm is not a good neighbor. We have been with them for…read more24 years. We had 4 policies with them: homeowners, two cars, and umbrella. We never made a claim on our homeowner's insurance, but they are dumping us (non-renewal). Furthermore, they are reporting to everyone else that we had a claim in 2020 even though we withdrew it before we they even came out for an inspection. There was never any claim. But they show it as a loss of $0. That makes it even harder for us to find insurance. No other insurance company will take us. We have no choice other than the FAIR plan. We will have to get a DIC policy to cover everything other than fire. State Farm said they were willing to offer us such a policy, but they're only giving us a 5% discount relative to last year's premium. They're excluding the biggest risk factor (fire) and giving us only 5% discount? Fair is going to cost us $6,500. Last year we paid $2,464 for our homeowners insurance. Now State Farm thinks we're going to pay $2,343 for a homeowner's policy that excludes fire, which is by far the biggest risk? I don't think so. We already got a lower quote for a DIC policy from a company that has a better A.M. Best rating than State Farm. We're also looking to take ALL our business elsewhere. (Now they say they're going to take away our multi-line discount because we no longer have homeowners insurance with them. They dumped us!) I don't appreciate being treated this way. State Farm didn't even have the decency to notify us in appropriate manner. They simply sent an email that was written as if we already knew our contract had not been renewed. Our new insurance agent has been much more helpful. She answered all our questions and took the time to think about what might be in our best interest.
