JC has been very professional and helpful for me and my family. He helped us with two mortgages so far. He is responsible, easy to work with, and he can make things happen when other mortgage companies can’t. We really appreciate all his help!

I can’t say enough good things about JC. We reached out to him while we were in escrow and 2 lenders couldn’t get it done. We almost lost hope that we are going to be able to close . JC took over and we closed within a few weeks. He was always responsive and answered to all my questions. Definitely recommend him! This guy is a closer!

We had a great experience working with JC and his team! Being first time home buyers we were a little nervous about the process but JC and his team patiently walked us through every step and were always available to answer our questions.

JC and his team deserve more than five stars! From day one, JC communicated very well and he was happy to explain any, and every detail along the way. The financial part of purchasing a new house could be overwhelming at times, but the team that they work with, and even the online portals that they use are very efficient. I have recommended JC to my family and friends for their next home purchase.
