This is the BEST bank ever! They genuinely care about their clients. They are very knowledgeable, always professional, and they move quickly. Moreover, they are personable and truly dedicated to helping people. Thank you to Doug Dransfield and the entire team at GPB! All I can say is, "You are The Best! THANK YOU!"

I have banked with them for many years and would never go anywhere else. I love that they treat you like their friend and not a "number". Anytime I have had an issue they handle it right away. BEST BANK AROUND!

We just closed on our home and had a fantastic experience with Jason facilitating our lending. Jason was very accessible throughout the entire process, he communicated consistently when things would come up and was very approachable when I had questions. Jason has a great team that works with him to get things done quickly and efficiently. I would recommend Jason to anyone in the market to buy a home.

Jason Mata and his team did a great job with our loan. We had lots of questions throughout the process and Jason was great about answering everything that came up, and explaining it so someone who doesn't deal with numbers often could understand. His team did a great job keeping up on track to close in a 20 day escrow! I was concerned about the timeline at first but they handled everything like the pros they are and even got us signed early!

Jason and his team made my first home buying experience hassle-free! He's uber-responsive and patient, and clearly passionate about helping people achieve their dream of buying a home. I found him through the CalHFA program and could not be more satisfied with the entire experience. Thanks again Jason!

I contacted Jason through the UCI home program that is offered to their employees. He got back to me quickly and was extremely knowledgeable about the various options I had as a first time home buyer. He was always available and answered my many questions. I had received loan options from three other lenders but American Pacific Mortgage had the best rates for me. I can't believe how quickly I was able to purchase a home - closing in less than 30 days! Thank you, Jason!

My review is definitely over due. I'm not an Agent. In October I closed on my second deal with Jason this year. Hands down Jason is the best mortgage professional I have worked with. Since August of 2017 I have closed on 6 properties covering a number of well known and lesser known mortgage services. Jason returns all calls. He doesn't disappear when things go wrong. And, he tells you what you need to hear not just what you want to hear. Excellent customer service. Vast mortgage knowledge. My biggest compliment is Jason is first and foremost a good guy. Definitely a rarity ....... Whether you are a first timer or a seasoned vet give Jason a call. My Agent Jamie recommended Jason and I'm glad she did.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jason a few times at this point and I have to say he is AMAZING! I have worked with many lenders over time (I'm a Realtor so it comes with the territory) so I can say from extensive experience. He is very knowledgable and easy to talk to. He has an easy-going personality but gets the job done every time. My clients always feel comfortable and taken care of when they are in his care and that is ALWAYS the #1 priority when looking or referring out a lender. Most recently, we had a home buyer who was having a tough time in our California market and wanted to figure out a way to make the purchase more "in the budget". It wasn't easy, but Jason pulled through (as always) and not only met their need, but exceeded it. As a fellow professional in the field, I would 100% trust Jason with any of my clients and my own purchases in the future. He is honest, easy-to-work-with, and will work to make it happen for everyone. He's THE BEST!

I chose Jason based on the stellar reviews he received, and I'm happy to say he exceeded my expectations. I am recently divorced and needed to refinance my home in my name. Due to various related circumstances, my "ratios" were a challenge, but nothing could stop Jason. He was truly committed to getting me what I needed and handled the numerous hurdles with grace and aplomb, including some fairly complicated and unusual details. In short, call Jason. He is a great professional and an outstanding person who WILL make it happen for you. Another client said Jason has a "servant's heart," and I think that's a lovely way of summing him up. Just call him. You will be glad you did.

I first met Jason in May, 2016 at the UC Davis annual employee picnic. I got his card with the plan to buy a home in 2017. Jason was extremely helpful in getting us preapproved, however the time was not right for us to buy at that time. So, on July 16, 2018 I sent Jason an email at about 7:30 p.m. I was sharing with him that we were once again looking to buy. Our circumstances had changed from the previous year, and I was only cautiously optimistic. I wasn't expecting a reply until the following day. Jason returned my message by 8:15 p.m. and had a preapproval for me the following day. We were well aware of what the housing market was like, and knew a good opportunity when we saw one. On July 22, we looked at a house that was a great opportunity and made an offer which was accepted on July 24. We signed on August 17 - only 24 days after the accepted offer. This has been the most flawless home buying experience I have ever had. Jason and his team are very responsive, they express care and concern, and demonstration stellar professionalism. Jason and his team work hard for their customers and are knowledgeable about options. That is the golden part, there are many options. This team makes dreams come true.

Firstly, i chose to go to APMC, specifically Jason Mata, because of the stellar reviews; and he definitely went beyond my expectations I am a first time home buyer who is new to the area, but i had done a good amount of research of the home buying process and what to expect in the Sacramento real estate market. We had a phone call about what i was looking for, and Jason was very friendly & informative during our initial conversation. After sending him all of the necessary documents, i got preapproved pretty quickly; so he set me up with an amazing realtor, Alex Villanueva to look at homes. I found a home that i really loved, but was a bit more than what i was preapproved for. All it took was a quick email to Jason & he was able to change the preapproval letter after adjusting some numbers. Mind you, FHA loans are a bit strict in terms of the debt to income ratio; so he worked diligently to ensure that i could afford the home, but also have more options with a slightly higher budget. The sellers accepted my offer, and everything was smooth sailing from there... so we thought! I had a unique situation with my tax return that caused a major delay with closing escrow. Jason mentioned it was the first time he had seen anything of the sort, but informed me that he would get everything settled. I called or text him almost everyday, asking how things were going. Each day that passed, there was progression with the closing process. I was stressed, anxious & nervous about what the outcome would be, since he had to switch my loan from FHA to conventional at the very end of the process. I must say, i never felt that he felt under pressure or stressed out... in fact he helped get me at ease with his reassuring words. Although Jason had to switch my loan type in order for the home to close, my mortgage & closing costs didn't change much. He really pulled strings that didn't exist to get me into this house. (I'm also thankful that the sellers were patient with me, & never cancelled the deal due to these unforeseen circumstances.) Three weeks later, here i am... a homeowner. Jason made everything easy for me. He was very clear, detailed & always replied right away when i reached out to him. I can only imagine how stressful my situation was on him, but he made it work. Jason/APMC also has a very organized email and app structure, where you can track your loan process & view all of your e-docs. I seriously can't thank him enough... I'm in a beautiful home, at a price i can afford, with terms that are extremely straightforward. I highly recommend ANY and EVERYONE looking to buy a property to lend through Jason Mata at AMPC.

We connected with Jason Mata thru the 1st time home buyers website. We had no idea were to begin or any knowledge of the process of purchasing a home. The very first phone call to him he answered all our questions/concerns after that we knew that we can do it and felt we are ready to buy our 1st home. He gave us confidence that with his help in just a few short months we can be in our Very First home. Every meeting/ phone call with Jason has been worry free he has lots patients , understanding, great communication and knowledge. Jason committed his time to helping us with each step of the way making sure we were comfortable and confident with the process . He always showed up happy with a smile .I'm so thankful for Jason Mata in just a few short months we are now living in our very 1st home happier than ever . Thank you Jason&Team .

Jason Mata helped my wife and I buy our first house. We had such an extremely positive experience working with Jason and his team at American Pacific Mortgage that I was inspired to write this review out of my appreciation. From the first meeting I had at his office, until the very last one before we would get the keys to our new house, Jason was a superstar. The team at American Pacific Mortgage worked so efficiently that we were able to close in less than a month. Jason is well educated on the plethora of programs available for first time homebuyers, and was able to recommend the best option for us. Jason took his time and explained each program so that my wife and I could understand the benefits of each. Jason also answered all the questions I had about interest rates, amortization schedules, buying a point, and PMI. Jason worked magic with the numbers, and he explained each cost during our closing. It was great to see someone that loved math as much as I did. Jason has a great sense of humor and is a great food connoisseur, as we traded information about our favorite Mexican restaurants in the area. Jason made some great recommendations throughout this whole process that my family and I will always be grateful for. If it were not for Jason, we would still be looking at options for buying a house. Jason also linked us up with the perfect realtor, Ms. Keri Sternberg, who also worked with us on getting our dream home. Therefore, it is with great respect and appreciation that I would like to recommend Jason Mata for all your mortgage needs. If I ever buy another house, I know whom I will be calling: Jason Mata at American Pacific Mortgage. In addition, since I love the movies, Jason gets two thumbs way up!

Golden Pacific Bank is everything a bank should be. They are professional, kind, and local. Everyone there is so welcoming and they really make you feel like an important person. After setting up an account the branch manager hand wrote a thank you note that I received in the mail that same week. You just don't get that kind of personal touch when banking with large national banks. I appreciate all the staff and look forward to many years banking with Golden Pacific!

Honestly I don't know what we would have done without Jason's help. He explained/taught us about various first time home buyer options that we otherwise had no idea about. He consistently was trying to find us the absolute best interest rate, and share recommendations for how to increase our credit score so our mortgage insurance could be less per month. We never felt overwhelmed or confused, he always made sure that we had all the information we needed. I never realized how straightforward and easy this process could be- I'm sure it's because of how efficient and knowledgeable Jason and his team are. Throughout the entire process, he was incredibly responsive to texts/calls, patient with any question asked- it's obvious that he genuinely cares about what he does. And knows so much about it! On top of that, every person we were in touch with through the approval process was also incredibly friendly and helpful. I couldn't recommend Jason more, and I surely will whenever any friends or family are ready to buy a home. Thank you Jason for everything you do!!
