I had absolutely no idea what the home buying process entailed, and Scott did an amazing job helping me through the entire thing and answering the dozens of questions I would call and ask him almost every day. He was extremely communicative and kept me in the loop which helped ease my nerves, and was always willing to explain everything in an easy way for me to understand. I would highly recommend working with Scott to anyone looking to purchase a home. It was an incredible experience and I feel so lucky to have had him to help through the whole process!

Hans is both an advertiser as well as a columnist, and I do highly recommend reading his columns - Ask the Loan Man - on home loans because he's honest, straight-forward, and knows his business! On the personal side, Hans helped me get a loans on my house - first - to buy out my Equity Share partner who had been waiting 12 years for me to come up with enough money to buy him out. Patience. That was sweet and got me started on owning the house by myself. THEN Hans helped me refinance so I could fix the house - a 1942 vintage Russian River cabin that was literally leaning over on its posts, and the roof was leaking. The BIG Deal about his help is that I am, and always have been, self-employed and that's a challenge when getting home loans. Hans made sure I got loans that covered the costs of my current need, and also that I could afford. 30 year fixed loans because I couldn't handle risk. I appreciate how Hans held my and through the complicate process and made sure I understood every step i was taking. he made me feel secure. That's huge when taking financial risks. I've now owned my home for 22 years and am getting the much-needed work done on turning it into a real house. Without Hans to hold my hand through the loan process, I would not have been able to do this in a relaxed manner. I appreciate his skill and his personal style. And most recently, when my sweetheart Alan wanted to purchase a home, Hans actually guided him into doing it without him and without a loan (cash) because that was best for Alan's needs. That's impressive to me. He puts his client's needs at the top and that's a fact. Thanks Hans!

I recently reached out to Elise for advise on what type of financing product would fit a need that developed with out home.

In addition to your mortgage needs, Elise is also a talented gardener and shares a plant bulb or two as well as advice! You've made a friend in the community after working with Elise.

From the very beginning, Jeanine was so much more than a mortgage broker, she became a trusted guide through every step of the process. No question was ever too small. She patiently explained things I didn't understand, kept me informed every step of the way, and somehow made a very complex process feel manageable and even possible. Whenever a new document, underwriting request, insurance issue, or unexpected question came up, Jeanine was there with calm reassurance, knowledge, and practical solutions. What impressed me most was how deeply she cared. I never felt like just another client. She worked tirelessly behind the scenes, coordinated with my realtor, escrow, insurance broker, and lender, and always had my best interests at heart. I truly not only felt, but knew she was advocating for me throughout the entire process. Thanks to Jeanine, I am now the proud owner of my very first home. Looking back, I honestly don't know how I could have navigated this journey without her expertise, patience, encouragement, and unwavering support. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, responsive, compassionate, and willing to go far above and beyond, I recommend Jeanine without hesitation. She helped make one of the biggest dreams of my life come true, and I will always be grateful.

Me and my husband reached out to Jeanine because I had known she came highly recommended on Facebook by Solano County community pages over the past years and knew she would be our go to mortgage broker when the time came.

We knew nothing about the VA loan when we first started looking into home buying, but Jeanine was so well informed about it that she answered all of our questions with ease. There was never a time we reached out to her that she wasn't readily available via text or phone call, so we highly trusted her to get the job time quickly. Even after closing, she remained in touch and let us know to reach out to her any time with any questions. She really is there for you your whole homebuying experience and after. I highly recommend Jeanine to anyone and everyone!
