After 12 years of consistently good service at the Thousand Oaks Logix branch, I'm shocked at how…read morebadly things went during a recent visit. My mom and adult daughter--a long‑time customer--came in for a simple appointment to open a new joint account. What should have taken minutes turned into an hour of condescension and obstruction from the teller, Chris. Instead of helping them through a routine process, he questioned their ability to "manage the account," spoke down to them, and dragged out every step. These are two fully capable women who have handled their finances for years, yet they were treated as if they were incompetent. The tone was dismissive, patronizing, and frankly humiliating. It wasn't until I left work and came in myself--calm, direct, and simply insisting the account be opened--that anything actually moved forward. Only then did Chris suddenly become able to do the job he should have done from the start. The whole experience felt disrespectful and unnecessary. After more than a decade of loyalty, this was enough to make me ready to take my business elsewhere. If you value being treated with basic respect, be cautious about using Logix Credit Union.

We just got to step into our new home for the first time--still can't believe it all came together!…read moreBecause we owned a second home out of state and the conforming loan limits in our new area were lower, this wasn't a straightforward mortgage. Several lenders made the process feel overly complicated, but Mark was incredibly resourceful and got it done smoothly. He went above and beyond to find solutions, secure a great rate, and guide us through each step. His responsiveness and clear communication made a big difference throughout the process. We're truly grateful for his help and will definitely reach out again when the rate environment improves. Thanks again, Mark!

My wife and I just closed on our first home, and got our mortgage through Neil and his team…read more We were beyond impressed with Community First Mortgage, and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a mortgage broker. Neil walked us through every step of the process and was incredibly responsive. As first-time homebuyers, there were lots of things we didn't understand and Neil took the time to explain things clearly. We felt confident we were getting the best rates, and had the best team working hard for us. For reference - it took us FOUR days to get our loan "cleared to close" from the day our offer was accepted. We had a 14-day escrow period, and our loan was ready to close well in advance. That was an incredible feat by the Community First Mortgage team, and took a ton of pressure off of us with such an aggressive escrow timeline. Lastly, Neil also recommended our real estate agent, who was another incredible addition to our team. The folks at Community First Mortgage have a five star rating for a reason, we could not have been happier with the service we received and look forward to working with them next time we are in need of mortgage brokerage services.

Bruno Pastor handled everything for us and from the initial call, through a dicey escrow with seller and appraisal issues, all the way to the close, Bruno made the whole process easy and stress-free.

A big thanks to Magnus, and Bruno especially, for helping us get into the home of our dreams!

Mixed use property is unusual on the West Coast. Marc was able to find one of the few companies that actually want to help buyers like me, who want to invest in mixed use. It was a nail biter but he got the job done and that is golden.

The loan process can be daunting and it's so important to work with someone you feel like you can trust and has your best interests in mind. Our loan process required that we move very quickly and navigate some relatively complex issues and I'm not sure we would have been able to make it happen if it weren't for Marc. If you're looking for someone to be your advocate through the financing process, that will treat you with respect, that is unswervingly professional and pleasant to deal with, and will deliver as promised, look no further than Marc Lisheski.

She was thorough, kind, and even gave me tips to help me in my assessment - ideas for comparison, tips on questions to ask, etc. I knew immediately she was the one for me! Throughout the house hunting and buying process, Amy was kind and attentive. She worked closely with my chosen realtor, would text me updates, was responsive to my questions, and proved her expertise at every step. Buying your first home is very stressful, but Amy and my realtor made all the difference to ensure that I had a smooth process and no stress! Additionally, her team was also very helpful and easy to work with. All around great experience! Thank you, Amy!

They don't call her "the closer" for nothing!…read more We purchased our first home earlier this year on a VA Loan. Prior to Amy, all other loan officers were weary of our VA loan, basically shunning us off that we'll never close a home in time to meet the seller's need and would take up to 60 days to close. Well it's their loss because Amy helped us to close in 28 days on a VA Loan! Amy is super sweet, professional and very helpful. She continues to leave a lasting impression on us (which you'll only know if you go though her)! ;)

We are first time home buyers and he explained each step of the process, so we knew exactly what to expect. He got things done in such a timely manner and helped us secure our dream house.

We just finished my first cash-out…read morerefinance at a fast speed and Justin just gained a lifetime client as I will be coming to him again for my future lending needs! He worked incredibly fast, had the best rate, communicated very clearly, had great manners, advocated for me, and made it easy-breezy. I'm self-employed with complicated income situation. Before going with Justin, I was shopping with 10 different brokers (yes, TEN, I'm not being hyperbolic). The rate and terms he got me was so ridiculously competitive that his competition laughed when I told them, until they realized I wasn't bluffing. Not only were his competitors unable to beat it, but more importantly, they couldn't provide the speed, the smooth process, and advocacy Justin could, which matters a lot in time-sensitive loans. Most brokers feel like they work for the lenders "this is what the lender has and requires", Justin actually feels like he works for my benefit. During the process, Justin had everything scheduled and covered with a clear timeline, I barely had to lift a finger unless it is something only I can do. Justin also had great connections that sped up the appraisal and other steps in the loan process. He even advocated for me and got me extra benefits and more favorable loan terms.

They were never pushy or rushed us but made sure to reach out if we had any questions or wanted info on various scenarios. When we had an offer accepted and were ready to start getting serious, Laura sat down with us to go over everything and made sure we had and understood all the information needed to make the best decision. She even provided a handy notebook with all the info she shared along with our scenarios and kept us informed throughout the process. As you can imagine, buying a home can be a stressful process, but Laura and her team were very accommodating, calm and friendly. We are so glad we worked with Laura and her team and would definitely recommend her!
