“Another smooth purchase process with team Jones. This is our second time working with Monica, Lauren, and now Rhonda. Before we started house hunting we went through the pre-approval process to give us better leverage when making an offer. We then listened the the advice and options we could exercise. We went over with Monica about potentially using a 2-1 buy down to lower our interest rate since it was pretty high. We also went over future refi options. When we were ready to make an offer on a place, we used Monica's team's reputation to close efficiently to our advantage. With a lot of loans getting denied, we showed our evidence and our offer was accepted. The process to get funds moved was fast and furious. Monica's team was in constant contact during every step of the closing process. We had the keys in our hands right after New Year. Really appreciate them working over the holidays. Thank you Monica and team❤️.”

“I’d like to share my experience with you. In 2021, I began house hunting and was disappointed with my initial lender, as big commercial companies often prioritize their wealthy clients, which wasn't the case for me.I was introduced to Nicole through Feagley Realtors during the pandemic when getting immediate help from a lender was challenging due to high demand. Nicole promptly handled my paperwork and assisted me in securing a very good first loan as a first-time home buyer. The remarkable part is that it was all done over the phone and email; I only met Nicole in person after the closing.Fast forward two years later, I returned to Nicole's to strategize my second loan. Without the advice and attention Nicole provided the second time around, I'm unsure if I could have obtained another excellent loan for a second property.Nicole and her team worked wonders for a blue-collar worker like myself, hailing from Richmond with little money but a dream. I'll forever be grateful to Nicole and her team for turning my real estate dreams into reality.I hope to return to her office for loan #3 when the time is right, God willing. I strongly encourage you to consider talking to my lender.”

“Lanny has been my mortgage lender for over 12 years and from the day we met he has been nothing but honest and straightforward. Over the years and numerous transactions, he has never let me down. He's not the type to let any grass grow under his feet and moves quickly to get loans approved and closed.He's somewhat of a mainstay in our area because time and again he has proven himself to be an exceptionally knowledgeable and a trustworthy mortgage lender amongst the community, here in Albany, California. He has even helped my children with their refinances - it's become a family thing! I would never consider using another lender.Whether it's for a new home purchase or refinance, I highly recommend Lanny Clark for his mortgage services. His professionalism and ability to simplify the lending process is second to none. Lanny takes the time to thoroughly explain options and ensure clients understand each step.It's rare to find a lender that combines sincerity, efficiency, market expertise and strong communication like Lanny does. He has my business for life.”
“Wahid was incredibly patient and kind helping my family secure a VA home mortgage. He educated me through the process during a very turbulent time for mortgage rates (Feb 2023), with a difficult seller. Wahid helped me secure a loan a full 0.5% lower than I could have managed on my own.Oak Leaf Funding will absolutely be the first place I turn to when it makes sense to refinance.”
“Sam was fantastic! This was our first time buying a home and obtaining a mortgage. Sam and his team made a very complicated process easy. 10/10 would recommend!”
“RAF Property Management was great in supporting me to rent an apartment in Berkeley! Kate was kind, professional and built a good bridge between me and the owner of the apartment. She helped us to achieve fair agreements, being very empathetic with my situation as a foreigner, always looking for accommodating my needs. The apartment was in very good conditions and when something needed to be done, their staff was very helpful and would fix it without charging me.”
“Once more I have come to this bank, to close out a couple of Alan's credit cards and to let them know of his death, since they hold our house mortgage. Bria helped me this time and she was careful, thorough and helpful. It took some time, for which she apologized, but I appreciated both the care she took and her kindness. During my wait I got into an interesting conversation w/ two other patrons, one of whom is planning an upcoming trip to Portugal and wanted lira. The other offered him useful information about the currency exchange at Mechanics Bank in downtown Berkeley, which I had forgotten about. The warmth of the staff at this bank, whether toward me or other customers, is quite engaging and impressive.”

“5 Plus Stars for Veronica A Jackson, Elizabeth Payton Thomas and the Branch Manager for the best Customer Service experience. My appointment required different levels of expertise. Each associate never made me feel like I was just being passed on. They each asked the right questions, repeated my needs back to me and they executed kindly, professionally and clearly. Just before Veronica and I completed our task. The Branch Manager entered Veronica's office and clearly communicated that the next step would require one more stop at the counter. She waived me over and assigned me to a wonderful teller. Again, I was asked all the right questions and completed my purpose for coming to the branch. I am so grateful for the El Cerrito Branch and the staff. Perfect way to complete the year.”
“We were first time homebuyers and our experience with Peter, Holly, Gabby and team was just wonderful. We have complex employment records and they went above and beyond to clarify our situation and support us in every way. They were also incredibly punctual in processing our paperwork and facilitated an extremely quick close on our home. We were able to purchase our dream home in large part to the great work of this team! Thank you so much for making this possible.”
