Laura was the only loan originator that was able to get me out of a horrible 10% balloon payment loan that was giving me crazy anxiety. She was amazingly prompt in her responses and was a delight to work with. Highly recommend!

Cari was one of the several loan officers recommended to us. After speaking to several loan consultants, it was an easy decision to choose Cari. She is extremely knowledgeable, kind and most of all - patient. She was always available to answer all of our questions and supported my quest for understanding some of the complicated aspects of the loan application. She made us her top priority until the loan was funded and has continued to make herself available to answer questions even after this transaction was completed. We appreciated her efficiency and expertise to anticipate needs in advance so when we wanted to close escrow a bit early, she made it happen. We had such an incredible experience working with Cari and her top notch service; we would definitely contact her again if needed. We HIGHLY recommend Cari and her ability to make a daunting experience an amazing one!

In all my years of experience in the real estate world I never met someone so caring, diligent and professional. Cari's follow up is amazing and welcoming and her knowledge and expertise are exceptional. I met Cari through another agents recommendation and during a transaction. I was told by the mortgage broker that he could not do the loan for my client, and I didn't know what to do. The listing agent had suggested I use Cari, and at this point I thought that we didn't stand a chance to close this deal. Being the professional that Cari is, she was able to save this transaction and not charge a higher interest rate, as the other mortgage broker had suggested. He was also stunned that Cari was able to successfully close this complicated transaction. I continue to work with Cari, she is able to close and maintain a great relationship with my clients and always keeps me informed. She is an all around professional and a pleasure to work with. Recently, I closed another successful transaction and as usual she went above and beyond my expectations. She is a gem of a person to work with. Cari is an asset for all real estate transactions!

Incredible - truly. My loan wouldn't fund with another bank because it was a manufactured home. We were down to the final week before expected closing - Mario and his team took on the challenge and closed it in 7 days - SEVEN DAYS! Not only did Mario and his team knock it out of the park with getting the loan funded, they were nice - they were kind and generous with their time and going above and beyond during after-hours to meet deadlines and to make sure I understood all the closing docs before signing - Mario called me well after regular business hours knowing we were in a crunch and he still took the time to go over everything in detail. Anyone I talked with during those 7 days was professional and genuinely kind and caring about me and my situation. What a great team. I highly recommend Mario and his team and will not hesitate to call him again in the future... thank you Mario & team - you guys ROCK!!!

Tom was referred to us by my brother who's since moved out of town. He's done several loans for our properties over the years and has always gone above and beyond to get what needs doing done.
The highest praise I'll give for Tom though is how he recently helped my Mom. She's getting older and some things just take longer for her to accomplish. One of those things is the process of refinancing a loan. With interest ratesgoing up, she needed to refinance her ARM. Though she has perfect credit and income, our credit union just couldn't be bothered to put in the extra effort to close her refinance.
Tom came into the picture and just got it done. Which is what he does. My Mom got a good loan with a little extra help from Tom and we thank him for that.

What can I say. Mario is amazing! He went over and beyond during my process from beginning to end. If I had any questions, he responded immediately 24/7. Even during my closing, he came to the escrow office. He made sure I understood every page of those 60+ pages I signed. An amazing guy! Made this scary but rewarding process smooth! Thanks again for everything Mario!

Laura is the fastest closer of home loans in Los Angeles. She will run the numbers and make sure you can close the deal before you even put an offer on the house. Lot of other lenders will convince you they can do the deal without looking at your overall situation. Very good with helping a homebuyer reduce the anxiety involved in closing the loan. If I have to hear a No - can't do it I would rather hear from her than any other loan officer in Los Angeles. Closed 3 deals with her already!

Cari is very pleasant to work with. She guided us very professionally throughout the process. She is very knowledgeable and was able to explain in depth every document that came our way. She was always available for a quick phone call to answer any questions. Overall the most impressive thing for us was her positive, calming attitude which transformed this nerve wrecking process into an easy, delightful experience.

Carrie Margulies is the best Loan officer my husband and I ever had the pleasure of working with. We had been looking for a home for a few years and she was there every step of the way. Carrie is extremely professional and on top of her work. When you need something she will go out of her way to make sure everything is done, and done correctly. When we actually picked a house to buy, carrie was there for us any way she could be to make the process easy and comfortable as possible. We highly recommend Carrie as a loan officer and will use her and HomeStreet again in the future!

I met Carrie through a mutual friend when my band was playing a concert in the Los Angeles area. When she told me about what she did in the loan industry, I started referring her out to my network of people due to how she conducted herself in that short meeting I had with her. I feel I have a good judge of character, and Carrie proved that. Because I am in the entertainment industry, I have many fans/friends that are home owners and that are looking to either purchase a home or refinance. I have passed her information along to a few of my network of fans/friends/family, and I have received such positive feedback on how she handled their loans. I can't thank Carrie enough for helping out my friends. She truly is the best in this business and more importantly....she is a woman of her "word."

I can't tell you how amazing Carrie has been. She has made it possible for us to buy our dream home. She has unbelievable patience for someone who knows very little about the process of buying a home. Her knowledge is second to none. Always able to get ahold of her when questions arise. She has made buying a home seem not so daunting. Carrie is very attentive and friendly. I can't say enough how much we appreciate her.

She is so sweet and caring, really has gone above and beyond making sure we're comfortable and educated in this first time buying process. She'll give you all of the details and options, then explain what she recommends. She does not just give her options, she really wants you to see everything! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER TO ANYONE, experienced buyer or first time. She is truly great.
