To whom it may concern:
My name is Heros Aslanian and I had the great pleasure of having Michael Neill on my side this year while going through purchasing my house in La Quinta. Words cannot express the great Blessing Michael was during this process! Although Michael followed up with me through phone and e-mail regularly to ease my mind and give me the information and status updates that I needed to know. The assurance that he gave me from our very first conversation was carried throughout the process all of the way through to the end result. He was calm, confident, professional and kind at every step.
I will recommend Michael and Fist Capital A Mortgage Company to anyone who has the need to purchase his or her new house.
Thank You

Micheal did an excellent job on a really hard loan for us . On times when I was having a complete meltdown he would calm me down and tell me it's going to be alright. We had several issues with our loan and with the owner of the property but Michael and Cena our Realator was there to handle them . I recommend Michael Neill for anyone's next loan or even our next loan in the future. I hope that we made a friend and that we could call on Michael for any questions in the future.

I feel Michael handle our loan in a very professional manner. I kept us informed of issue which needed to be addressed so the process went as smooth as possible.
Much of the loan papers need to be forwarded out of State during our vacation.
Michael did not let any thing get delayed. When we returned home our loan was funded and escrow closed as scheduled. Michael made this loan experience a pleasurable one.

Mike has consistently offered the best service to my mortgage needs over the last 10 years. I have bought 5 houses and Mike has found the best mortgage rates and deals each time. He is responsive, understands the entire process and knows how to avoid the pitfalls and delays resulting in the cleanest and fastest closings.

I will continue to use Mike for all my mortgage lending needs and recommend him to all friends and contacts.

I wish to express my highest recommendation for the professional work that Mr. Michael Neill performed for me in the recent purchase of my home in Cathedral City, California.

This purchase was somewhat complicated by the numerous rules and regulations covering the purchase of this home requiring dozens of legal papers having to be read and processed. More important, this purchase was further complicated because I purchased the home in the name of my trust rather than as an individual or jointly with my wife.

Michael responded to all my questions and telephone calls in a timely basis and provided informed guidance throughout the procedure He further expedited the sale so as to allow me to complete the transaction in a timely basis.

Having dealt with other mortgage lenders in the past, I would highly recommend Michael to any future borrowers because my experience was so positive.

Respectfully Yours.

I recently retired and as such my income is currently from my investments and a company I have in another State. The Mortgage loan process is formula driven and underwriting is non existent. Michael was instrumental in equating my ability to service a mortgage within the system and significantly over regulated and frustrating requirements while calming me down and explaining the nonsensical maze that one needs to circumvent to qualify for a loan that I could alternatively pay cash. He deserves my apology and respect for dealing with me and getting me through the system.

Michael did a great job for us when we bought our house in Palm Desert this year.
He watched the interest rates daily and we were able to lock in an excellent 30 year loan that is a few hundred dollars/month lower than it could have been.

Michael did a great job getting financing for our new house. It was and very strenuous task and Michael kept working on getting the information required to complete the loan. Thanks again.
