Mortgage Brokers near Orinda

“We had nothing but a positive experience working with Avenir to get our mortgage and close on our house. We shopped around at several nationwide brokers, but went with Avenir because they were able to match the lowest rate we got, they were the nicest to work with, and they are local, which meant that they understood additional things about closing costs that the bigger companies did not. They made our closing process smooth and uncomplicated. Would highly recommend, and a shout-out to Cedric and Brent, who are a true pleasure to work with!“

“Vic was a tremendous resource during my recent joint purchase of a house with my partner. This was not my first time buying a home, but it was the first time that I felt completely informed at every step of the loan process. From the moment we contacted him and said we were actively looking all the way through closing, Vic stayed abreast of developments in the market and delivered timely information and updates so that we would be able to get the best deal possible. He and his team had a fast turnaround time when providing necessary documents to our realtor and escrow company, avoiding unnecessary delays and allowing us to close quickly and smoothly. If I'm ever in the market for another house, Vic will be the first person I call.“

“I recently went through a divorce and the process of buying my ex out of the shared home was proving complicated. A trusted contact referred me to Jay. Once we were in touch, I found him knowledgable and personable. He came through a proposed solution and helped guide me through the process of obtaining a HELOC, making that aspect much less stressful of an already grief-inducing situation. He also advised me on how I might play things going forward, as markets change due to Federal Reserve actions. I would highly recommend him.“

“Chris really helped my husband and I secure a loan for our first home. We signed up for an urgent consultation and he made himself available and talked us through the entire process of what it takes to get a home loan. He helped us every step of the way all the way up past close with helpful advice as well. Could not recommend him enough!“

“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.“

“Do you think every loan agent is great? Well, think again. Just like each profession, the cream rises to the top. Adrian Gee is an AWESOME loan agent !!!! He is the CREAM OF THE CROP !!!!Man oh Mighty, when you are buying a home, being led by a wonderful professional that truly cares about you is THE BEST. Life while purchasing real estate is fun, but stressful. Adrian is very thorough at making sure his clients understand the monthly costs at various price points before they even begin to shop. That feels like a rare find these days.He offers the entire gamet of loans: FHA, conventional, USDA, 203k, Jumbo, HELOC's, first time buyer programs, teacher, fire, police, public servant loans, private money, etc. The best part is he is able to discuss in depth the pros and cons of each loan and how it can help you the most! Way cool.I hope you get your dream home soon! I know you will enjoy the process with Adrian!“

“When we needed to look into a reverse mortgage with my mom, I reached out to Harold who I worked with on a refi a few years back. Both Harold & Rick came out and explained in great detail all we needed to know about reverse mortgages.This was hands down the best experience we have ever had when dealing with a refi. Harold and Rick were professional and caring and made themselves available at any given moment either on the phone or in person day or night. Of course they were with us every step of the way. When we needed to fast track this reverse mortgage and they made it happen!We whole heartedly recommend C2 Reverse Mortgage for anyone considering it. You will not find better people or better service!“

“This is my second mortgage in two years with Janice. It is a Friday night and I thought of a few questions expecting her to get back with me later. She responded within seconds and answered all my questions and offered to meet me Saturday if I needed too, even come to where I was. This is the 5th house I have purchased and none have been more relaxed and efficient as when I worked with Janice. She is priceless. I don't care what anyone says, obtaining a mortgage is stressful but Janice is so on top of her game that it just flows. It also helps that she has a genuine bubbly personality and just makes you feel so at ease.“

“Very satisfied with the work done to get us a reverse mortgage on our property so that we could afford some much needed cosmetic fleshing up and repairs. Jonny is a pleasure to deal with and a real pro at his job. With his knowledge and ethics of business I felt very well represented and taken care of throughout and ultimately was able to secure a really great loan at a great rate even for the current market. Thanks so much for your hard work!“
