As a first-time homebuyer navigating the very competitive market for two years, I had numerous challenges in finding the perfect home. Throughout this journey, Christine, an experienced loan officer, was a great source of support and guidance. She was always available to provide market updates and explain the intricacies of financing, even on weekends and evenings. After an extensive search, viewing countless properties, and making several offers, we finally got an acceptance! Christine quickly secured our loan approval, making it possible for a 21-day home closing. This swift process afforded me extra time for necessary repairs and upgrades. Christine's diligence in monitoring daily rate changes paid off when she advised me to lock in our mortgage when rates dipped, securing the lowest rate we had seen in months. Her patience, clear explanations, and commitment were instrumental in this process . Christine wasn't just a loan officer; she was an integral part of the team that helped me achieve the dream of homeownership. For those still searching for the right loan officer, I highly recommend speaking with Christine. Her expertise and approachable manner set her apart, and I am confident you will notice the difference/advantages immediately.

We recently worked with Christine for our home purchase and were impressed by her professionalism, attention to detail, and market knowledge. Despite a tight timeline around the holidays and our 30-day trip abroad during a 45-day escrow. This is not our first purchase, we know how much it takes to stay on track and Christine was on top of it! Her communication was excellent, ensuring a smooth process and securing us a great rate. Christine went above and beyond, making our experience exceptional. We highly recommend them for their outstanding service and expertise in the mortgage industry.

She made me feel comfortable asking questions and was very patient. I was impressed how Christine and her team made this happen so smoothly and quickly. Thank you for putting me into my first home!

As a first-time buyer with a schedule crazier than a cat in a yarn store, I was bracing for a mortgage nightmare. But, lo and behold, Christine made it a dream! She juggled my hectic life like a pro, got my loan approved faster than a jet, and answered my endless questions - some I'm sure were quite amusing. Big cheers to Christine for not only keeping up with my chaos but also for making the whole process smooth. 5 star work! Thanks again Christine.

As a daughter of a senior who recently opted for a reverse mortgage, we were all delighted with the process and its benefits. One of the standout features is the growing equity line. It's truly remarkable to see the equity line of credit on our family home being preserved and increasing over time. This provides financial security and growth that we hadn't anticipated. Moreover, the inclusion of mortgage insurance is a game-changer. In these unpredictable market conditions, knowing that my parent is protected from any unforeseen changes in terms is comforting. This assurance gives us peace of mind, knowing that the terms we agreed upon will remain consistent, regardless of market fluctuations. I would also like to mention Christine, our guiding light throughout this process. Her patience, attention to detail, and comprehensive understanding of the reverse mortgage landscape made her the best person to lead us on this journey. Her expertise was invaluable, and we felt confident with her by our side every step of the way. I highly recommend reverse mortgages to other seniors and their families. It's not just a financial decision; it's a step towards ensuring stability and growth in the golden years of our loved ones. A Grateful Child Lynn

We have had the pleasure of working with Christine a number of times with loans. We have always found her to be the most professional and knowledgeable individual in her field. We highly recommend her to anyone needing assistance with their loan process. I appreciate her honestly and that she truly cares about the people she is helping.

Christine provides great re-fi financing. I have used her for three re-fi's on main residence and rental Propeties.

Christine is knowledgeable, professional and honest. She handled my purchase and refi transactions and ensured both went smoothly and closed on time. Would highly recommend her!

Christine is the best Lending officer ever! Period! End of Story! Mic Drop!

Working with Christine and Team made the home-buying process less stressful. They were able to move as fast as we needed and were great at communicating each step. Would highly recommend.

Christine is the best out there. Experienced and accurate. Upfront with all fees so you can know how much a mortgage will cost you. Nimble enough to handle any bump in the road that you encounter in getting your mortgage. And friendly, but "all business". She is second to none. I wholeheartedly recommend using her for new purchases or refinances.

Christine is awesome! She knows her stuff and is very helpful and kind!

The easiest refinance ever. My financial planner recommended Christine, and he has very high standards.

My name is Steve and I was looking for a house in the Huntington Beach area for about 6 months. Finally, the right house came on the market and I had to act quickly. My current home had not even been put on the market at that time so cash was really tight. Christine was referred to me by the broker handling the purchase of my new home. What a great referral that was! Christine was able to match me up with the perfect loan. It financed most of my new home, was locked in early at a great rate, it allowed me to pay the balance down after my previous home sold keeping the initial low rate and also dropped the payment amount when the balance was paid down. She did all this in what seemed like record time, all the while keeping me informed at each and every step in the process. I have been recommending Christine to everyone I've come in contact with who is in need of loan services.
