The efficiency and professionalism surpassed our expectations on the timeliness of our loan. There was a personal progressive timeline that was constantly updated and made us feel confident that the loan had no glitches. Team Katy were very supportive and patient whenever we didn’t understand certain terminology. It was a very painless 30 days. Thank you again team Katy.

It took ONLY 17 business days to refinance my home from start to finish!!! Katy found several options within an hour and advised us on the pros and cons with each loan. My husband and I got all the requested information needed within 2-3 days for Katy and she worked on it right away. If you want someone who is very responsive and works hard for you, YOU NEED KATY!!! Not only is she willing to make sure everything is done correctly but will guide you through the entire process. She always updated me on the next step and when this task should be completed. With Katy, my husband and I knew we were in good hands and never once had anxiety about our refi. KATY is the BEST!!!!

Katy is really awesome. I was referred to her by a friend to help with my refinance. She is very professional and best of all extremely responsive. There were some hiccups in my application due to my last mortgage company and she provided quick solutions to finalize the refinance. A few weeks after closing she checked up on me to remind me to pay my first payment and to make sure I had all information moving forward. Two thumbs up for me.

FAQs
Your page mostly talks about refinancing, can you do preapprovals too?
YES! Our office can do purchase or refinances. Rates are rising so the opportunity to refinance may be closing so we’re trying to get the word out to move fast. However, we also do conventional, jumbo, VA and FHA purchases as well!
How much does it cost to do a loan?
There are your recurring costs (what you normally pay for your loan like mortgage interest, property tax and insurance) and there are non-recurring costs (one time fees like appraisal, credit report, title insurance, etc.). Your costs will be determined on which rate you choose from the lender. Some rate options give you enough credit to help cover all non-recurring closing costs while some do not. We will shop with over 100 lenders and provide you the best options for you to choose from.
How much do I pay you?
Almost all loans are lender-paid transactions which means the lender actually compensates our team, and not the borrower.
How long does the whole process take?
Typically, each transaction closes in 30 days or less. Sometimes, it may be as little as 15 days, depending on the lender and file.
I want to refinance but there is SO MUCH PAPERWORK!!! Do you allow e-signatures?
Yes! We have some lenders that operate all electronically where they accept all e-signatures. We do have an office in Santa Clara so clients are more than welcome to come visit. However, if you have a busy schedule, we can complete the transaction quickly all online as well.
What’s the difference between a Home Equity Line of Credit vs a Cash-out Refinance?
A HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) is like a credit card. Your amount is based on the amount of equity of your home. A HELOC is separate from your mortgage and you will sometimes have to make two monthly payments. A huge drawback is that the interest rate is adjustable.
A cash-out refinance allows the borrower to refinance their current mortgage for more than what they currently owe and then receive the extra funds. This type of refinance transaction will replace your current mortgage, but you will only have to make one monthly payment. You also have the option to get a Fixed Rate or an Adjustable Rate
Will you sell my information?
We will not sell or share any of the personal data that you provide. Our office does keep a copy of your personal and loan documents for three years after the closing date due to DRE regulations.
