Words can not describe how amazing Anita and her team are. We have worked with Anita several times for the past four years. Her team and her always go above and beyond to make the process as fluid as possible, even when challenges are thrown their way. While completing our refinance my family and I were out of town. Anita and her team were able to accommodate us in ways that only her and her team can. We highly recommend them to family, friends and at times strangers. We know we are working with a team that is knowledgeable, honest and friendly. Thanks again Anita for being the best at what you do.

Anita is absolutely amazing. The fact we never were able to meet face to face (because of COVID) never phased her and her team’s excellent service. I felt as if we had know Anita for years. She has a welcoming and warming personality that makes you know from day 1 you are in the best hands! Her knowledge and drive to help and get you the best experience in such a life changing experience is second to no one. She makes you feel like family right away. Her and her team a the best and made our first time home buying experience better than we could have imagined. This team has my business for many years to come. Thank you Anita and Team for this wonderful experience.

It was great working with Edgar, Anita, and their team. They are extremely professional, and the level of service was exceptional. We could not have picked a better Home loan company to help us purchase our new home. We will definitely use them in the future for any purchases or refinancing.

Edgar Aranda and Anita Aguilar have put together an awesome team of professionals who worked with Sam and I consistently through-out the intimidating home purchase experience. Edgar started the ball rolling working with us to get pre-qualified for a home loan. Their team kept in regular contact with us and assisted in getting questions answered by Anita and Edgar in regard to our home search with our realtor, who referred them, Edna Mitchell. A mortgage is a banking process, however, NONE of the TEAM players, from Edgar, Anita, and associates in our search kept Banker Hours! Each and every one of them were available to us nights and weekends too! They are a team of positive thinking individuals who made our home purchase a smooth and happy experience. Sam and I are very glad to be able to recommend them and Cardinal Financial to help other people seeking to accomplish the goal of home ownership. Thank you so much for everything!

I had an absolutely fantastic and stress free experience with Anita and her team! I got my mortgage through Anita and it was the easiest part of buying a condo. When I wanted to re-finance, it was the same easy process. I emailed them the needed documents, they found me a really good rate, they called me with updates, and let me know everything that was happening and why. They're great and I would recommend them to any and all. The experience was really stress-free and easy. Thank you!!

Anita and her team were all so kind, positive, and informative. They were so helpful and attentive every step of the way. My fiancé and I are first time home buyers and had no clue where to begin but Anita and her team worked with us as well as with our realtor to make the process easy and quick. Our realtor was amazed at how easy and efficient it was to work with Anita and her finance team. I can’t imagine going with any other team for future needs. I highly recommend Anita and her team.

We had a great refinance process. Anita was very helpful in assisting us to completion. This was our second refinance with Anita (after our original mortgage - also with Anita). We would highly recommend Anita to anyone looking to either get an initial mortgage or refinance.

Anita and her team took great care of my husband and I after we made an offer on a San Diego condo. We are first time home buyers and were constantly grateful to have such a professional and compassionate team around us. They communicated with us daily and allowed us to close within 30 days from offer!

Anita and her team stuck with us during a really tough escrow (the seller had some title issues) and she was ALWAYS making sure our ducks were in a row so when it came to closing it was a breeze! It can be really stressful coming up with all the documents and needed paperwork, but they made it easy to submit and easy to close on our beautiful home.

Anita and her team made the impossible possible! Long story short, I have been trying to refinance my condo that is in my daughters name to get it into my name. No other lender or team could make it happen until now! Fast forward 1.5 months and we just funded. A lot of work and effort went into this and I didn’t think it was going to happen like so many times before but somehow Anita worked her magic and just like that we are done! Thank you everyone for all the countless time and effort that went into making this possible!!

Anita and her team made the impossible possible! They navigated through an unconventional and complex situation, that I have been working on for years (Yes! Years!!), with professionalism and determination and we’re able to come up with a successful outcome when it seemed no one else could. Anita and her team were in constant communication, giving updates and never leaving me wondering where we were in the process. Anita’s positive and friendly vibe made refinancing a less stressful experience. Her hard work and dedication not only resulted in a completed refi and happy client but also made me feel like I wasn’t just a number and that she truly had my and my family’s best interest at heart. Thank you Anita (and team)! I appreciate you!!

Anita and her team are amazing! I could not praise them enough. Not only did she help us with purchasing our very first home but she also helped us refinance (which dropped our mortgage payments significantly). Anita and her team are experts and will help you throughout the entire process and answer any questions you have. We are extremely happy and would recommend her to all of our friends and family. The entire process was speedy and stress-free. Thank you Anita and team!

Anita and her team are amazing! Look no further; they are the real deal! I was a first-time homebuyer, and they gave me everything that I needed to know upfront. They explained the process very clearly and explained any caveats that may arise during the home-buying process. I shopped around with different lenders, but hands-down, Anita was the best. The other lenders were very cold and not invested in helping me purchase my new home. Anita was different, her attentiveness and cheerful attitude won me over, and I am glad I chose Anita and her team over the other lenders. I have mentioned my home-buying story to friends and family that have purchased a home in the past and they always tell me how lucky I am to have found a lender like Anita and her team! My realtor said the same thing, especially after our 16-day escrow. For this, I am very grateful and cannot thank Anita enough. I will definitely recommend Anita and her outstanding team to friends and family. If you are reading this, don't look anywhere else. Anita and her team are rockstars! No regrets on my behalf, and I am very grateful that she was on my side during my home-buying process.
