“I recently worked with Peter to set up a trust for my mother, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. Peter was very thorough and took the time to explain the different roles involved, especially the importance of choosing the right trustee for our situation. It only took about a week for him to draft all the necessary documents, and we were able to sign everything the following week. We also received a binder with all the paperwork, as well as an email copy of the trust for our records. Peter honored the Yelp discount, and his pricing was very reasonable.
The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I wish they had a Chinese translator available for my mother, as it would have made communication easier for her. Otherwise, I highly recommend this service for anyone looking to create a trust.“

“Orlando Diaz was my guy and he is awesome! He and his team were there from the moment we connected on 7/21/2023 until we closed on 8/20/2023. Very clean process, a couple of hiccups all on me Orlando promptly caught and walked me thru. I highly recommend Orlando and the team at The Loan Store. A very pleasant experience all around.“

“My experience with Thomas was nothing but superb. I recently closed on a condo in San Francisco and could not have done it without Thomas. Thomas was working with me for over a year as I search for a home and from the beginning Thomas was attentive- answered every email/phone call in a timely manner; was kind and respectful. Any question /concern I had, Thomas or his amazing assistant Kyle was there to direct me accordingly. Thomas was able to help me close in 14 days. 14 days!!! And it was a smooth process. Every one of those days I was able to get in contact with Thomas or his assistant Kyle. Overall, I would highly recommend Thomas as he is simply the best!“

“Lanny has been my mortgage lender for over 12 years and from the day we met he has been nothing but honest and straightforward. Over the years and numerous transactions, he has never let me down. He's not the type to let any grass grow under his feet and moves quickly to get loans approved and closed.He's somewhat of a mainstay in our area because time and again he has proven himself to be an exceptionally knowledgeable and a trustworthy mortgage lender amongst the community, here in Albany, California. He has even helped my children with their refinances - it's become a family thing! I would never consider using another lender.Whether it's for a new home purchase or refinance, I highly recommend Lanny Clark for his mortgage services. His professionalism and ability to simplify the lending process is second to none. Lanny takes the time to thoroughly explain options and ensure clients understand each step.It's rare to find a lender that combines sincerity, efficiency, market expertise and strong communication like Lanny does. He has my business for life.“

“My real estate agent, Sophia, introduced me to Chris and Xpert Home Lending, and I couldn't have been happier with the connection. As a first-time homebuyer, I was pretty nervous about all the numbers involved. Chris took the time to walk me through the entire process, breaking it all down in a detailed Excel sheet. This really helped me understand my buying power and how to play with different numbers to make things work in such a competitive market. With his stellar reputation as a broker, Chris is highly trusted in the real estate world. His entire team is reliable, professional, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!“

“Y’all—client after client, year after year (we’re talking well over a decade now), Robert Imazumi has never disappointed me or my clients. And trust me, my standards are sky-high—I don’t hand out referrals without caveats unless someone has truly earned it. Robert doesn’t just meet the bar, he sets it.

He puts his clients’ needs first. Always. He gets the job done reliably, consistently, and with serious care. But his dedication doesn’t stop with the clients who are ready to buy right now. He shows up just as fully for the “someday buyers”—the folks who aren’t quite there yet financially. He takes the time to educate them, guide them, and cheer them on until they’re ready to make the leap.

His kindness and empathy are just as powerful as his deep industry knowledge and fierce work ethic. And because he’s a mortgage broker (not a direct lender), Robert has access to a broad range of loan products to match each client’s unique situation—whether they’re buying or refinancing.

But here’s my favorite part: no BS. No sugarcoating. No overpromising. Just facts, strategy, and execution. That’s why I trust him with my clients, time and time again.“

“If you are buying a home or thinking about buying a home talk with Sam Lee. Sam Lee has a can do attitude, is smart and knows what it takes to get your offer accepted. Sam also does construction lending.“

“I worked with Sean and his assistant Carla to buy my latest condo. they are both very dedicated, knowledgeable, and helpful. They spent quite a bit of time with me from getting me pre approved to close and showed me many different scenarios and loan options. they would also take time to explain things to me and help me understand the options. I would work with them again in the future. If you are buying, call Sean, you will be happy you did.“

“This review is long overdue. Hector is a solid person with convictions. Honest and real, no fluff. Man of many talents. If he cannot do it, he will find someone who can. Great teamwork. Much blessings in 2025!!“
