On helping clients be successful:

"My highest priority is ensuring my clients are well informed of the escrow process. Setting a realistic timeline and sound expectations are also very important."

As a first time buyer, my knowledge on the home buying process was very little. Starting with the initial phone call Edgar, he answered all my questions and gave me insight on things I had not considered yet. The process was smooth and quick. Anytime I called my questions were answered and throughly explained. I am grateful for Edgar and his team for being patient and encouraging! Forever a customer, forever friends! Thank you!Thank you!Thank you!

Our daughter and her family decided to move to San Diego from Washington state, and we went along to help keep their boys entertained while they house hunted. One day we looked at houses as well, while they took a fun day. We found our perfect new home - exactly what we wanted and close by the new home selected by our daughter's family. With only a few days left in our trip, we met with Edgar and Anita and their team to make the purchase happen. They met us in their office twice and held our hands through all of the paperwork, finding a financial solution that perfectly met our needs and allowed us to buy the new property even though we hadn't yet sold our Washington home. With great communication, efficiency, and professionalism, every day they let us know the status of our application, what needed to be done, and what was yet to come. After our return to Washington they continued to make things quick and easy with electronic and phone communication. Edgar, Anita, and their team made the process very easy.

We are Realtors with over 20 years of experience and many client associations in the industry. Edgar and Anita are remarkable. Their communication skills, professional counsel and guidance, and expertise in obtaining loans are amazing. Their office staff is a direct reflection of their leadership in maintaining a positive and encouraging atmosphere. They work well with first-time buyers and/or seasoned buyers, and you can be assured of their proficiency and knowledge. They know their ‘stuff’ and will keep you informed to stay on top of things for a ‘hiccup-free’ transition. We bought our current residence with their help, and it was one of the smoothest purchases we’ve had. They certainly deserve 5 stars….But I would rather give them 10!!! They are that good!

I highly recommend them they were incredibly professional and guided me through every step of the process. As a first-time buyer, it was a great experience. I’m truly grateful that my friend referred them to me. They made everything so much easier and far less stressful. My parents and I will always be thankful.

Edgar, Anita, and team: Thank you all for your guidance on getting a home for a 21 year-old kid like me in not even a month into communications. We were really in a tight spot with the rented house we resided at, and you guys got us what we needed in a flash. I really appreciate you guys on pushing me to submit documents super quick in order to close on time. Thank you!!

Edgar, Anita, and the Team were an incredible help to us! My partner Alan and I were first time homebuyers and had no idea where to start in the process or even what most of the housing lingo meant, but they were all very thorough and explained everything with patience to us. They went above and beyond to explore all the options we had for every home we liked until we found the place we really loved! We couldn’t have done this without them!

We are beyond grateful to our amazing lender for making our dream of homeownership a reality. Words can’t fully express how thankful we are for the incredible support and care we received from this team during our journey to becoming homeowners. They were there every step of the way, answering every question (and we had a lot!), calming our nerves, and helping us understand what was possible. We will never forget everything they did for us, and we’re endlessly grateful for the role they played in one of the most important moments of our lives.

After cancelling with a prior lender for a huge mistake on their part, Edgar, Anita and his team did not hesitate to help my family. Not only did they help us close in a remarkable time, they did so with integrity and made us feel we were working with good hearted people. The advice and communication along the way was crystal clear and made me feel we were now working with a team that didn't look out for their best interest, but my family's. Thank you Cardinal Financial team for all your hard work and efforts! Thanks to your team, we have a house that is now Our home. 100% Recommend Cardinal Financial!

Edgar’s group help us from the beginning to the end, the process was really easy for us as the team explained to us every step of the process and gave us the best options on what we were looking for. We did our refinance process, and when we finalized the purchase of our home, Edgar made the promise that he and his team will be looking in the market and will bring us in as soon as the conditions got better, and he did, we just got a better deal and now we are going to pay less and will get a better rate than what we have.
Working with Edgar’s and Anita’s team has been the best choice that we as a family have done.
Edgar and Anita sincerely we appreciate all you guys have done for me and my family!!!!

I had a satisfying experience working with the Cardinal team. Edgar and Anita provided clear information about potential loan options and forecasted my monthly expenses. The estimates they provided for my mortgage, interest, and other payments were very close to the actual figures I’m paying now, which helped me plan ahead. They know their stuff as well as what's in their clients' pockets.

The rest of the team kept me on track throughout the process. Their weekly check-in calls made sure I never felt lost in the process, even during my busiest weeks. They were also quick with follow-ups and were always patient with any questions I had, no matter how basic, as a first-time homebuyer. It made the whole experience feel much smoother and less stressful.

My experience with the team was nice due to their professionalism, accuracy, and dedication to customer service, and I recommend them to anyone who needs assistance with home financing.
