We Wouldn't Be Homeowners Without David…read more David Lerman and the entire team at Cal Union Funding made what felt impossible possible for our family. As first-time homebuyers, we ran into roadblocks with other lenders and weren't sure buying a home was going to happen for us. David was patient, honest, thorough, and always available to answer questions and explain the process at any given time. He kept us updated every step of the way and found solutions when others couldn't. Most importantly, he genuinely cared. Thanks to David and his team, we're in our first home, and we couldn't be more grateful. If you're looking for someone knowledgeable, responsive, hardworking, and who will fight to get your loan across the finish line, we highly recommend David and Cal Union Funding. Thank you so much for everything!

I don't use the word "extraordinary" lightly, but David Lerman and the CalUnion Funding team earned…read moreit. I came to David with a complex transaction -- purchasing a $2.7M owner-occupied property in the Coachella Valley that required creative financing, fast execution, and a team that could handle curveballs without flinching. David delivered on every single one. What sets David apart is not just his knowledge of the mortgage industry -- it is his character. When obstacles came up (and they did), David did not just solve them, he anticipated them. He moved mountains quietly, kept me calm, and never once made me feel like the deal had challenges even when the pressure was real. His team -- Lauren, Vicky, Ryan, and the entire CalUnion crew -- matched his energy every step of the way. Professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting this done. I closed on a stunning 5-acre estate in the Coachella Valley that will change my family's future! That does not happen without David Lerman and this incredible team. If you are looking for a lender who is a true partner -- not just a transaction processor -- stop looking. You found him. Five stars is not enough.

Met with David last Oct for a brief interview to sell our house. He was prompt and very helpful…read more His presentation was very professional and made us list our house through him. David and his team were great at organizing showings, he always made sure to lineup few showings within a small timeframe in one day so we don't get disturbed much. David went out of his way to arrange open houses every weekend and was able to bring very convincing offers. But because of circumstance changes I decided to pull the house off the market and David was very understanding. We were very pleased in all that David and his team offered and the level of professionalism and highly recommend his services to anyone that is trying to list and sell his home. We will definitely use David again once we decide to re list our home.

David was the best! I wish I could buy another house just to work with him again. :) My getting the…read morebid on a house I very much wanted was attributable to David's agreeable approach to working with others. David was also always right on top of things, a great communicator, and he brought good advice that helped me with purchase.

ROMEO ECHO REAL ESTATE, Adam Martinez and his entire team, are a gem among gems! Not only are they…read moreinsanely ETHICAL and KNOWLEDGEABLE in the real estate industry, they are HONEST and KIND! Adam is a retired U.S. Marine who decided to form his own company that would reflect his principles and his values. For the same reasons he created a loan division. This is the only way he knew that he could protect his clients throughout the entire process whether they are selling a property or purchasing their first home. They will not only be in good hands, they will ALWAYS be in the BEST hands! In an industry where it is practically impossible to find someone you can trust who isn't in it for themselves or just completely incompetent, PLEASE reach out to Adam or someone on his team if you are selling or buying property. He will NEVER add "junk" fees, he will PATIENTLY GUIDE you through every step, every page of every document, and he will PROTECT you and your family. One of the hardest things I have ever had to do was sell my parents' home after they passed away.......the home I was raised in. I was so grateful and so fortunate to have been referred to Adam to help me sell their home. Through all my tears and all my fears, he held my hand, hugged me a lot and made sure that no one took advantage of my sorrow. And he got it sold in April of 2020 during the pandemic when it was virtually impossible to sell a home. Then one of my greatest joys was when we found a home to purchase for our son who has learning disabilities. Adam, of course, was our first, and of course, our only call. He was beyond patient with Sean and caught so many errors (or maybe tricks) that the KW realtor had made. Adam was there for our son from the beginning to the end of escrow and continues to check in on him. Our son trusts Adam explicitly and fortunately, his entry into home ownership was the best experience because of Adam. But most importantly, he felt SAFE with Adam by his side. Adam has many referrals who have saved us a tremendous amount of money and headache, from a trusted Termite Company to an honest and fair and reliable painter to a drywall "genius" and more. He surrounds himself with people who share his same values and work ethic. THANK YOU, Adam and Kara, for all you have done for our family. We could not be more blessed to have you help us. FOREVER GRATEFUL!

Roland with Romeo Echo Real Estate was amazing. He really cared about us and took our needs into…read moreconsideration. He wasn't just looking for a sale he really wanted to find us what we were looking for and was always honest and up front about every single property. If he didn't think the house was for us he'd let us know. We ended up with a house much more than what we were expecting in a great location in the price range we were looking to spend. I highly recommend this company. They are veteran oriented and have many client functions throughout the year. I highly recommend them specially if you're a veteran

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.
