Mortgage Lenders near Newark, CA

“We've had an outstanding experience banking with Fremont Bank. We've been with them since around 2008 and they seem to keep improving. It is obvious that Fremont Bank puts customer service as a top priority. A couple of the bankers could not possibly be more accommodating. We have received real stellar customer service here. It's such a breath of fresh air compared to Bank of America and other big banks. Also the interest rates are the most competitive of any brick and mortar, in person bank we have yet to come across. Very satisfied customers.”

“Had to visit this branch with our team. Wasn't too busy midday. Our teller, Michael, really helped us sort things out today. Just found out we're established at another location, but wanted to give a shout out and say thanks!”

“I have known and worked with Mark Dunlap, our loan agent, for over 25 years and have always received first class service and attention from him.He always treats you like family.”

“I have purchased multiple homes and this was one of the easiest transactions I’ve every had. The Team I worked with were informative and fast. If I need another loan, they are going to be my 1st call.”

“Highly recommend Stella and her team at transglobal lending. They did a stellar job being communicative and keeping me and the lenders on the same page. Other agents do not offer the same amount of attention and effort as what I received at transglobal lending. Will definitely come again if need to do any loans”

“I had a great experience working with Sacha He was knowledgeable about both loans and homes, and he worked hard to find me the best possible deal on both. He was responsive to my questions and concerns, and he always made himself available to help. He never pressured me into making a decision that I wasn't comfortable with, and he made the entire process a lot less stressful. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy a home!”

“Finding a good Dr/surgeon is imperative and a matter of trust. When you find one, you stick with them. I'm glad I trusted Neil and his team with my refinance. The process was flawless and smooth. He has over 20yrs experience I think and he knows how the system works. Not only did he provide the best options for my house, he also provided me with the best options for me personally. I have to say a huge THANK YOU!!! I would certainly recommend and happily work with Neil again. Cheers!”

“I am banking with Fremont Bank in Fremont Hub for past few months. One of the best branch- I always greeted with a smile. Bahar and other stuff always resolves most of the concern that i have. Employees are here so nice and friendly. I always get nice offers from Bahar and she educate me with newer options. Thank you to all Fremont Bank stuff for positive attitude.”

They took the time to understand our preferences, budget, and desired location, and they were always available to answer our questions and address any concerns we had. Their level of communication was exceptional, and they kept us informed every step of the way.One thing that truly impressed us was Shawnacy's deep knowledge of the local real estate market. He was able to provide us with valuable insights and recommendations based on his years of experience, which helped us make well-informed decisions. Shawnacy and his team were diligent in searching for properties that matched our criteria, and they were patient with us as we explored various options.He demonstrated professionalism and dedication throughout the negotiation process, ensuring that our best interests were always protected.Additionally, the entire team at Excel Realty was a pleasure to work with. They were friendly, approachable, and genuinely cared about finding us the right home. Their attention to detail was commendable, and they made sure that no stone was left unturned during the home buying process.Overall, we are extremely grateful for Shawnacy and his team at Excel Realty for their outstanding service.

“Working with Fremont Bank on the purchase of a new car they were very helpful despite the fact they had to place a hold on my money that I had transferred from one account to another, Reshmi Deo greatly assisted on Maneuvering through the red tape to allow me to process my payment to the dealer. Thank you”

“During Covid, everything was slow, but Asia Vargas helped my case to ensure that we are able to sign the paperwork on time before the holidays. Fremont bank provides competitive rate for my heloc while other banks are not even considering my application during COVID with their blanket guidelines. Appreciate the willingness to look into case by case and treat customers like human.”

“I have been banking with Fremont Bank since I opened my first account with them at their first location on Sundale and Stevenson Blvd in the 1960's. Since then I have been at the Mission Valley branch and It is at this branch that I have been provided with continued unparalleled service by Marilynn and Maria. I just wanted to highlight the excellent professionalism these two individuals have provided me for many years. Thank you ladies for taking such good care of me!”

“I had to deal with a number of somewhat complex issues yesterday. The branch was so helpful getting me the information and forms I needed. A few employees checked in with me to see if I wanted anything: coffee, water, etc.. Great customer service.”

“I started banking here in the summer of 2023 and 6 months later I consider them to be my #1 bank. From the excellent customer service to the great products they offer. There is not one thing to complain about. I get the feeling they look out for me and my best interest and go above and beyond to meet my financial needs. It's the kind of bank you form a solid relationship with and feel secure having your money there.As with any bank it has its busy times but at most times I am in and out. I recommend its well worth stopping by and seeing if this is the right bank for you.”

“We used Nick 2x: for our brooklyn (new construction) condo in 2019 and our manhasset single family home in 2022. Even though he is based out of CA, he is super knowledgeable and responsive (my husband thought he was based in NYC because of how responsive he was even in the ET mornings). Nick also has the best rates. Both times (2019 and 2021), I reached out to other banks for rates and BoA has always had the best rates. He also does all these extra little things that you wouldn't expect... and it's those things that make a world of a difference. Cannot recommend Nick enough!”

“This review is specifically for the loan officer, Thomas Chen, based out of this branch. When I first moved to Hayward in 2018, I used a broker to fund my loan and refinanced with another bank after. But when I looked into Fremont Bank'a options, I met Thomas. He called me back almost immediately and I was able to refinance for the 3rd time in Hayward with an awesome no fee or closing cost loan. Fast forward to today when rates are at their highest, I decided to give Thomas a call again to see the purchase options. Boy did I luck out! He was able to preapprove me in literally 1 single day and get me on my way to bid on homes. Then I found one and the rest became turbo speed! Because I wanted to close on the loan before my son started the new school year, Thomas put that as top priority and stayed on top of all correspondence. There were some hiccups with the insurance part (partly due to AAA), but overall, a standard 30-day close turned into a 14 day close. Amazing!! I literally got my offer accepted on 7/21 and closed on 8/7! It would've even closed sooner but again AAA flood insurance can be a pain, but Thomas was still the one that made it all happen so quickly for me. Due to the current market in general, getting a loan wasn't as easy as when it was typically 2.8%, but looking at how fast he kept it moving, I am so grateful to have him as my loan officer! If you want a professional, speedy, no BS mortgage consultant who is looking out for your best interest, I would definitely recommend Thomas Chen as I already have worked with him twice for 2 very different loans and both times he did what he said he would and there were no surprises. Half I feel is due to Thomas disclosing all that is needed upfront and the other half is the Fremont bank team supporting these loans. From normally a stressful experience, Thomas made things as smooth as possible and still so responsive to this day. I am super happy and would definitely come back directly to Thomas for my mortgage needs in the future.”

“Working with Carl, Suying, and Yao was an absolute pleasure. Even on Super Bowl weekend they were able to assist me with my loan needs! Furthermore, the process was crisp, organized and efficient which further enabled a pleasant experience!”

“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Jerome had the best rates out of all lenders that I contacted with. His loan estimate and fees beat everyone's. However, I went with a local lender due to personal reasons. Jerome can deliver a clear to close within 7 days and close within 2 weeks. He is very responsive and understanding of my situation. Will give him a call when it's time to refinance because NO ONE can beat his rates, like a whole 0.5% average difference.”

“Very personable staff at this Fremont Bank Warm Springs Branch. It has a very neighborhood small community vibe. Stephanie Pi and other staff here are super friendly and warm and so helpful. They go over and beyond in my experience. Compared to their other branch in the hub, the customer service at Warm Springs branch is excellent. I hope the staff here remains the same.”

“Excellent Teamwork by Manger Waseem Sultan and Team. I can strongly recommend other customers, and i am sure you will be 100% satisfied. You have the option to take prior appointments, and so that your precious time can be saved. Staffs are very much experienced and able to answer your questions and give financial advice and options which really helped in my case. Therefore, I can surely say this is one of the top-ranked US bank branches in Fremont, CA.Sebastian Jose”

“After showing supreme dedication in getting us into the market just two years ago by working her magic in getting a CalHFA loan program for us to purchasing a condo in south San Jose with just 5% down and two subordinate loans. There was only one person we trusted with our refi to take advantage of an increase in equity in our property of $75k in just two years!!! We couldn't be happier with the communication and personal explanations of a complex situation with our new refi taking advantage of a greatly reduced APR and a $50k Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC). We can't recommend Sara any more highly she is incredibly knowledgable in all mortgage options and is a pleasure to work with. Your are in safe hands with Team Sara !!!!”

“Have worked with Michael Hoyt on multiple transactions, and he always comes through faster than anyone I've ever worked with, and definitely more effectively. Any client of mine with special circumstances or not, is in great hands with Michael.”

“We are Previous Clients , George is Great to work with both over the Phone and Internet , No Headache Got Us a Great Rate We did some Debt consolations ,Cash Out for Home improvements We Highly Recommend him . Very Professional and Skilled . Our Loan Closed in less the a Month. Thank Again George”

“Vik Randhawa is an excellent broker. His team helped close the loan in under 30 days when most banks were taking over 2 months. I would recommend working with Vik and Cal Coast. They know the market and the process well.”

“I had a chance to consider Sterling as my lender in a property I was buying. I had the pleasure of working with Priti, who was extremely helpful in the process and without whom I would have not bought the house. If you have to consider getting a mortgage especially for a TIC, definitely contact Priti!”
