Vance is the most capable loan broker, in Silicon Valley. He closed several difficult -to-impossible loans for my clients, right on time; there has never been a problem with the value of the appraisal, when I worked with Vance Riddle.

I had the pleasure of working with Vance recently when I was purchasing real estate. Up until the point of getting introduced to Vance, I had had a pretty dismal and hairy experience with the financing side of the deal, but Vance made everything seem much easier.

Vance is courteous and prompt, and makes sure that all details are taken care of in a timely manner.

I would highly recommend buyers work with Vance!

It was a pleasure working with Vance and his team. He was instrumental getting the loan funded with very aggressive closing date contingency.

I would whole heartedly recommend his team to any of my friends for their mortgage needs.

The best loan experience I had in my life time so far. Vance is professional and dynamic person. He told me what he would do and I found that he did exactly what he told me he would do.

We closed the loan in less than 25 days. Wells Fargo ditched me on the middle of the loan and I had my earnest money at stake too. But Princeton Capital and mostly Vance Riddle saved us big time.

We are done and got the key, please pray for us for a smooth move and I highly recommend anyone who is looking for loan to work with Vance and his team. I vouch you would love it.

Vance at Princeton Capital was incredible! He is very knowledgeable in his work and knows how to close, close close the deal. He fought for us with the builder to get us into our home without any delays or issues....and there were many issues with buying a brand new house...he knew how to get them solved, and we had a worry free and happy close on our first home together. Vance, we can't thank you enough for all your hard work and dedication to us as #1 clients. What s great experience to be buying a home and have someone like Vance along the way to helping us in getting the best deal out there and making sure we were taken care of from begin to end!!! We really appreciate it, and we will be referring you to anyone who we know is in the market for a new home. Thanks!!!

Vance was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was honest, professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. From Loan Application to document finalization, he was truly top notch. We literally could not have asked for a better mortgage planner to work with.

I used Vance Riddle as a loan officer for a home purchase. Vance was very helpful getting me approved for a loan which was fairly aggressive for my income level under a very tight timeline. To sum it up, Vance gets the job done and I would recommend Vance for anyone looking for a loan under a short timeline.

I have recommended Vance for years. He has helped many of my clients purchase homes, and I trusted him enough to use him for the purchase of my home as well. He is knowledgeable and able to guide his clients through even the most difficult situations.

Thank you Vance!

Vance is a supportive broker who found us an extremely competitive rate. Vance helped us along the process of buying our first home by calling the Selling agent to confirm us as quality buyers, working through a quick turn around time of a 21 day close, and even showing up to help us sign our closing documents. Vance is an expert with many years of experience, and happy to share his expertise when asked. He is also friendly and responsive. We felt that we were in good hands because of our Coldwell Banker agents and Vance (who work out of the same location). As first time buyers who wanted all of the details (but might not have remembered everything that we were told upfront), the only thing we could have asked of Vance was even more information and communication along the way. I'm sure if we had asked, Vance would have responded positively.
We would recommend Vance to our friends and family and enjoyed working with him. We are appreciative of all of his help along the way of a successful first home purchase!

Vance is a very knowledged yet personable business man. He was the "rock" in my first experience in buying a home. I probably would not have completed the transaction if it was not for his intelligent and calm demeanor. He was patient and went to the limit in explanation of the loan acquisition and home buying process.

Vance Riddle is the true professional with the required experience and knowledge who made our home loan transaction experience seem less daunting.
Vance worked to ensure we had all the information and options available to us to make an informed decision and the right choice of the products available to us. He always returned calls in our request for additional information and in answering questions. I highly recommend Mr. Riddle to friends and family members on any home loan transaction.

Vance Riddle was not only our mortgage broker but I came to think of him as a tireless financial advocate who was always willing to rework the numbers to get us a better deal. Vance and our excellent real estate broker worked as a closely knit team to make sure the deal was consummated with no hitches. They were always responsive to all requests for information, explanations or alternative financing arrangements.

I believe Vance has an excellent command of the skills and information necessary to obtain the best possible financing deal for a client. He was also a great person to work with.

Vance Riddle at Princeton Capital is absolutely the best mortgage planner I have ever worked with! Vance is highly knowledgeable, professional, and extremely good communicator. Vance was very fast getting all the pre-qualification letters I needed. There was few multi-bid situations, and Vance got the letter out that day or the next day. I never worried about getting the pre-qualification letter in time. I just purchased a house and it was not a simple transaction due to different factors that I won't get into. But Vance handled it like a pro. Whenever an issue came up, he "handled it". The loan underwriters and Vance have built an amazing trust amongst each other. This is a huge advantage over other mortgage brokers as this makes a fast close possible. One of the reason I got the house in a is due to a fast close. We ended up changing our offer somewhat last-minute, and Vance rolled with the punches and made it totally seamless. Look nowhere else -- Vance is your man!

I was very impressed with Vance and would recommend to all my friends and family!

We cannot emphasize enough how fortunate we were to have Vance on our home buying "team". It is clear that he is an expert who navigates through the maze of home financing in a way only someone with a vast amount of experience can do.

I believe that we would not have been able to purchase the home we did without his assistance. Not because of any financial hardship but rather because he knew exactly when to interfere when the various parties involved ran into a roadblock. On his own account he initiated several conference calls to assure all parties that everything is on track. Even the selling agent took it upon herself to write him an email stating that she is "impressed with the good work".

Vance was recommended to us and we have already recommended him to trusted friends!

Vance Riddle came through for us like a gift from heaven. He calmly and deftly took our incredibly complicated financial situation in hand and pitched us a home run with runners on all bases. Utterly trustworthy, hardworking and dedicated he is what he says: "in your service", that is in service for "you". This personal approach puts Vance heads above the others we contacted. The contrast between Vance and the five other lenders we had working for us was amazing for the speed, efficiency and knowledge of the lending market, which Vance demonstrated. Vance patiently took time to explain the loan process to us novices while expediting the close of escrow, making personal appeal on our behalf. I would not hold him to that level of service for others, but I'd guess he treats every client similarly. Clearly superior in his field. We give thanks for Vance and his team.

First of all I would like to say Thanks to Vance for his tremendous job as part of the loan.

As first tome home buyer, I have so many questions in my mind, Vance clarified each and every question I have. And he gave so many suggestions to get low APR in the each stage.

I'm very thankful for all his help and would definitively go through him again if I were looking for a new mortgage.

Purchaser of a condo Dec 4, 2013
Vance and his team performed an absolutely exceptional job of closing my loan of a condo in 8 working days!!! This was such a huge breath of fresh air after a disastrous experience of a previous different lender who I was using prior and took over 1 month before declining my application. My only regret was not using Vance and his team from the start so I could have moved in one month earlier.

I cannot commend Vance Riddle enough for navigating me through a complex refinance process that could have been a nightmare. He expedited a solution to some problems that may have taken up to six months to solve. He provided more than just his financial expertise; he did so with caring and support. I am not sure how he did it but I can now breathe a huge sigh of relief in knowing that the house I have lived in for more than 20 years will continue to be the place that my children and I call home.

Vance was not only able to find me a loan with lower interest rate with someone of my limited credit background and property status, but he continued to find ways and programs to provide credit for my closing costs. He was prompt with any questions, and his attention to the smallest detail was evident during the closing. Definitely recommended.

Vance was very helpful. We had a complicated situation that made getting and securing the mortgage tricky, there was a lot of back and forth, and Vance always tried his best to overcome each obstacle, and eventually overcame all of them.
I'm very grateful for all his help and would definitively go through him again if I were looking for a new mortgage.

Happy Homeowner Oct 17, 2013
Vance Riddle was recommended to me by a good friend and I have financed my home with him as a first time buyer.
Being new in the US, he explained to me all the necessary steps and holding my hand during the escrow process. He was very responsible and responsive. His work is professional and was able to get me a good loan even after all the banks were very restrictive after the financial crash.
After I financed my first home, I refinanced twice after that and was still using his service for these two transactions.
I can highly recommend his service and work and if I have a future need, I will defiantly come back to him.

Thanks,
Marcus W.

Vance put a mortgage together for us with a four week closing cycle. We made several modifications including a need to reduce the cycle to 3 weeks. The 3 week commitment was met with few hang-ups. Good job.

Vance provided great support and made my refinancing experience a smooth one. I live out of California and have a busy schedule, so Vance's responsive email communication was key for completing my financing needs. He provoides top notch customer service and goes the extra mile to answer questions.

We recently refinanced with Princeton Capital through Vance Riddle. Vance was hands down the most professional mortgage advisor that we have met. He was thorough and listened to what we needed and expected. Vance came back to us with options and a plan that met our needs. He managed the process very well and kept us posted on the progress of our loan. He went out of his way to assist us in collecting all the information needed to complete the process. Vance is amazing and his support staff at Princeton are world class.
