I have bought a house with his help, refinanced it more than once with his help, and even spent quite a bit of time on the phone just running through different scenarios.

If you're looking for an agent that will go above and beyond for their clients, look no further…read more Jim Calhoun was both our buyer's agent as well as our selling agent. He listed our house and we got full asking price the first day it went on the market! Jim made sure the selling transaction went smoothly and on schedule. He represented us in purchasing our new home. He went above and beyond to make sure that we closed both escrows simultaneously and held other parties accountable to essential timelines that were necessary for set closing date. Jim is a hardworking down to earth person always keeping his clients best interests at heart. I highly recommend Jim on your next real estate transaction. Thanks Jim!

I was referred to Mike after I tried to refinance my home with several other brokers that had…read morefailed in getting me the loan that I wanted. Mike made the whole process very easy and clear. He didn't try to reel me in with a low rate he couldn't get. He was honest and up front about everything, and delivered on everything he promised me. I was able to get the rate that I wanted, and I didn't have to pay high fees or hidden points in the back end. It's good to find an honest and hard working broker that works on my side instead of the banks'.

I have been investigating and researching a variety of mortgages over the past few months (FHA,…read moreHELO & HELOC, and HECM) because it has taken that long to answer my questions, get a general idea of costs and what's involved, and to interview people that I feel I can trust with my home and personal info. I wish I could say that it could have gone easier but it has actually been the AGENTS who made this process so painful along with misleading online claims about these various loans and what's involved. Let's just say that my interaction(s) (thankfully, I only had 2 with this guy) were less than professional. All "first phone calls" seem to be exactly the same....it's a positive, upbeat interaction that tricks you into thinking they WANT your business until it goes further and my first call back was exactly like other brokers I spoke to. That's what I cal the "over promise and under deliver" technique, people like this just chat you up then it's the luck of the draw if they ever get back to you. Carlos did call back once and spoke very briefly with me, and I sorta got the idea he was actually doing something with our loan but no....(!) that wasn't what happened. They want to keep you on hold while they shop for a better (or perhaps easier) customer or loan it seems. Luckily I have zero trust for anyone in real estate so when a local realtor sent someone to answer some questions, it was THAT broker we went with. I decided NOT to call Carlos to tell him that we had changed (I tested him to see if he'd call) but I really didn't need to since he never contacted me again after claiming he would follow up soon. In my case it became urgent as far as needing a loan since so many people had wasted my precious time by pretending to actually be interested (or knowledgeable) when they aren't. The sad thing is....you have to keep "interviewing" brokers to find a good fit, I suggest that everyone do this since many (like this guy) only care about HIGH commisions or the ability to do a loan blindfolded (not into circus tricks, myself) and it seems that most have forgotten WHO the customer is, they do what's comfortable for THEM. No thanks! Those people are a 'dime a dozen' as my dad used to say....so tread carefully when seeking out a loan. Since I'm a blogger, I plan to write about this whole hideous nightmare for local news (I've done writing for the VC Reporter, VC Star, and Ojai Valley News) as a warning for others....it's a minefield out there! My loan is now in process thanks to someone who actually cares and is authentic, and it was very different from the beginning (no schmoozing, more like "let's get to work!") so you may want to look for the same when looking for a loan. Don't take anything for granted, many are simply great BS artists so if you're at risk of losing your home, don't waste time....you could end up with a terrible outcome as we almost did.

Every aspect of this complex transaction was handled in the most professional, efficient, and helpful manner. The personal attention we received from Carlos and Kristen was amazing. Carlos even came to our home to complete the necessary paperwork. He was always available for questions and we never had to wait for answers - either in person, phone, or via email/text. Carlos explained every aspect of the reverse mortgage in detail, with personable, understandable explanations. The friendly, courteous manner that everything was handled was superb. Without reservation, my husband and I wholeheartedly recommend Carlos and Open Mortgage to anyone looking to do a reverse mortgage.

I told him I had never bought a house before & can I trust him to look after my best interests. Tim took advantage of my ignorance & never told me he was best friends with the sellers. He never told me when the house closed & never gave me a walk through. I found out all about his behavior & lies from the neighbors. The roof didn't leak but poured right after I moved in. The ceiling fell in, not 1 toilet worked out of 3, and my first experience in the very first moments in the house was being locked in the bathroom for 2.5 hours because of a door that was installed negligently. My list of everything wrong became a list of what was right instead. By having a list of what was right with the house, I had no list at all. I tried to talk to Tim who just lied more & his broker only protected him. Tim Mallon made my first home buyers experience traumatic, costly, & the most tragic experience of my life. There is nothing right about the house & property that Tim Mallon sold me after making false promises & statements.
