Updating my review yet again as we’ve now been fortunate enough to work with Maureen several times, and she is consistently AMAZING! We consider ourselves very lucky to have found Maureen (simply via Yelp originally) to help us purchase our first home, and she has been ‘go-to’ to help us with refinancing our loan - and at times, we've simply reached out for her advice. You will want an expert like Maureen in your life. She is patient with answering any questions, and she is someone you can fully trust. I can’t imagine working with anyone else to support and guide us through the complex details and steps involved with mortgage loans. Maureen’s customer service is exceptional. She is extremely responsive and available to you every step of the way, with the utmost patience, warmth, integrity, efficiency, knowledge, professionalism, and overall just a truly good human! She is definitely the person you will want in your corner as your mortgage expert. For our first refinance, she had reached out to us (gently) to let us know we could secure a lower rate through refinancing, and we are so grateful she did. We were hesitant at first, but she was able to provide us with the estimates on our savings without any commitment from us. So, if you are considering a refinance, I would encourage you to reach out to Maureen to at least get some ballpark figures. We were so happy we explored and then pursued it - as it not only reduced our monthly payment and will save us a lot over the life of our loan, but it also resulted in some extra up front “savings” in our pocket (due to the escrow refund and skipped payments) so that we could finally do our kitchen remodel that we have been dreaming about. A huge thank you to Maureen for once again being a true gem to work with!Original review: All of these glowing 5 star reviews for Maureen are fully deserved!! We are deeply grateful that we found her (on Yelp!) and chose her as our lender for our home purchase! She is truly wonderful to work with, from start to finish! She is very knowledgeable, immensely responsive, reliable, efficient, trustworthy, and a wonderful source of support and encouragement, which is especially valuable during the stressful home buying process. To give you an idea of her efficiency and ease to work with, we first connected with Maureen at the start of August, and she had us pre-approved for a loan (through a very simple online application) and connected us with an awesome realtor before we could blink. We had an offer accepted on a home soon after and got our keys to our new home yesterday! I've only known her for slightly over a month, and yet, she feels like a close friend! She was our biggest resource and advocate during the escrow process. I highly recommend Maureen to anyone starting a home search, and especially first-time buyers because you will greatly benefit from having her as a support, trusted resource, friend, and 'cheerleader' through the process!

Maureen made the home buying process seem stress free and it was a pleasure working with her!!! I appreciated her timely response to questions/emails and she also helped us save $500+ regarding an appraisal transfer, which was not an easy task but well worth it. I look forward to working with her again and will be referring friends her way in the future .

If you are serious about closing on a property, I absolutely recommend working with Maureen. In a hyper competitive market like San Diego it's critical to have a really solid lender and realtor on your side to make sure you can close on a property. I can say without a doubt that I wouldn't have been able to find my house and close on it without her. Part of our offer was a lightning fast close time that she was able to pull off!It was a pleasure to work with Maureen, as she guided me through the entire process. I was moving from out of state so I had a lot of questions and she always responded super quickly with helpful answers! She even recommended a realtor for me and it made everything from finding a place to closing a really smooth transaction.Closing on a property can be a scary endeavor and having Maureen there to answer questions and alleviate my concerns made the process really easy. There was even a weird banking snafu at the last minute on my end that she helped problem solve to ensure we didn't delay closing. She went above and beyond, answering texts quickly at all hours of the day, even on the weekends! Thank you, Maureen!

Maureen is the best mortgage broker I've ever had. This Grammy says, next refi, or purchase don't even consider going to anyone else. Her follow up is perfect and the loan products she offers beat everyone I found. Go with Maureen Martin for a trouble free mortgage loan.

This review is severely overdue, Maureen took great care of us through the purchase of our first home and subsequent refinance. She is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. This last refinance was completed in record speed through a pandemic and through the holidays. Simply put, she's the best of the best.

Wow! Great service. Maureen will do whatever it takes to get your loan approved and funded. I will DEFINITELY use her again!

What can I say, this lady is amazing! I've sent clients to Maureen through the years, as I'm a local realtor, however this is the first time that I've had a need to use her services for my own refinance and WOW, she knocked it out of the park! Not only did she get us a super smoking rate, but she also closed our loan in record time, I believe it was something like 16 days from start to finish at the end of the year, with two major holidays, right smack in the middle of a pandemic! I know that this is not typical since I work with so many other lenders that my buyers decide to go with. Most lenders right now are extremely slow with incredibly long turn times, especially for refinances. So if you are looking for someone who always answers her phone, who's there for any and all questions you may have, creative with financing, knowledgeable in her field, great low rates and super speedy turn times, look no further.

Maureen is the absolute best!!!!! When I purchased my first home in 2014, Maureen made sure the process of purchasing the home was seamless. We were able to close in 21 days. Maureen makes herself available for her clients and answers questions promptly. She made the process of buying a home less stressful! Maureen truly cares about helping her clients get the best rates. Recently, I decided to refinance my home and it was unbelievable that we were able close in 14 days. I would recommend Maureen for first time home buyers, vacation home purchases and refinancing. I would recommend Maureen for anything dealing with financing a home.

It has been a pleasure to work with Maureen Martin to refinance my house. Maureen is an experienced professional and great person to work with. I just completed a refi in record time during the month of December even with multiple holiday days off. The plan was to pay off my previous lender on the 1st business day of 2021 and we did. Wow!!! The timing worked perfectly thanks to Maureen!!! The goal was to reduce my monthly payment with a much lower interest rate. Maureen had the solution and saved me lots of money.Maureen works with a team of professionals that made the refi process seamless. Now the interest rate on my new 30 yr. mortgage is at a historic low which creates great monthly savings. I have worked with a number of mortgage brokers on real estate purchases and refinances in the past ... without a doubt Maureen Martin is by far the Very Best !!! I highly recommend working with Maureen! I give her "10 Stars Plus". Thank you!

6 Star service from start to finish! The first time we connected with Maureen was via email, the response was within minutes. We wanted to sell and buy a home simultaneously, so we asked so many questions and she provided all the answers. Through out the process she maintained open lines of communications. We would contact her via email, phone and text and the responses were instant, as if we were the only clients. She sincerely cares about getting you the best loan terms possible. The process is stressful, but her knowledge and communication kept us calm.Maureen, once again, thank you for your incredible support during our purchase. Many blessings to you, your company and family.

If you are thinking about a mortgage - new or a re-finance, or, a reverse mortgage, I can say you should go with Maureen Martin! Both my nephews have used her and we all concur it was the quickest, most seamless process that we have ever experienced. She walked me through every step of the way. Had answers for any document posting I had trouble with and was always accessible to any question I asked. Moreover, I got a very low mortgage rate with no points. Maureen is knowledgeable and professional; two qualities that are key when most of us are dealing with our largest investment - our home. From the beginning to the end of the process, it only took about two weeks. This is almost unheard of. If you want to streamline this usually arduous process and get a great rate I highly recommend you go with Maureen Martin!

Even though Maureen couldn’t help me because she’s not licensed in the state that I need to go to, she gave me very good advice and took her time talking to me after she knew she wasn’t going to make any money off of me. So I just wanted to add my review to all the other good reviews.

I had the pleasure of working with Maureen for the second time (I would not have contacted anyone else after my first great experience with her!) and she remains fabulous. Maureen is very knowledgeable, responsive, and FAST! I had a tight turn around time with a personal matter and to lock in a great rate, and she made it happen. I highly recommend Maureen to anyone who wants a fabulous loan experience.

We purchased a home and Maureen was our lending agent. She is FANTASTIC! Anyone reading this will NOT regret calling Maureen. She is professional, knowledgeable, and truly looks out for her clients. She also communicates every step of the way and is super efficient! Throughout the entire process we never once worried about the loan side of things. We would recommend Maureen to anyone without any hesitation!

Wow, Maureen is amazing! If you’re looking for an excellent communicator, prompt service and thorough industry knowledge you should definitely consider Maureen. I’ve refinanced on multiple occasions with Maureen and have had a great experience. There are countless choices our there for mortgage brokers. Receiving the personal care and attention Maureen delivers makes here stand out from the rest. Thank you again Maureen!

We contacted Maureen Martin while in the beginning phases of planning to buy our house. She walked us through the different financial strategies available to us to help us to best prepare our credit situation for the purchase. Two years later, we bought our house and Maureen was there each step of the way to explain our options and provide advice (such as, how to reduce PMI fees). Since buying our house, she has alerted us to dropping mortgage rates and let us know when it may be helpful for us to refinance (and has occasionally given us the honest answer of “now is not a good time”). Now, on our third refinance with Maureen, our mortgage payments are less than what a renter pays in our area. She is a dream to work with, very knowledgeable, and willing to take the time to help us understand the oftentimes confusing world of mortgage finance. If you are looking for someone who knows their stuff, is patient, and will give honest feedback along the way, Maureen is your person!

LOOK NO FURTHER!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! We closed on a VA loan in just 20 days. I interviewed 3 other brokers and ended up going with Maureen and I'm glad I did. Her communication was amazing; she always called when she said she would, and she thoroughly answered all my questions. if you're looking for a mortgage broker, CHOOSE MAUREEN!! She'll make you feel like you're her only client..

Maureen has been super helpful for us throughout our purchase process. We reached out to her for a second option considering our current lender had more stringent underwriting guidelines. Even though we were already working with someone, she reached out to her underwriters to find out if her underwriters would be able to approve our application in the case our current application fell through. She was quick to respond and totally fine standing by ready to help us. She is an absolute pleasure to work with and will keep her in mind for any future home loan needs! Thanks Maureen!

We have worked with Maureen Martin in the past for our mortgage needs and we were very happy with her, but to ensure the most cost effective refinance we compared rates and brokers before we decided to once again work with Maureen to take advantage of the current market conditions.Maureen Martin started out by guiding us with timing and loan options to save us the most money with refinancing. Once the timing was right, she expedited and simplified the process of the application and providing supporting documents to get our refinance started quickly. She provided insightful guidance as we made decisions about refinance options and locking our rate. She worked strategically to save us as much money as possible with fees and refinance costs. Then despite all we have been hearing about refinances taking much longer than normal, the process was lightening fast and seamless. She kept us up to date each step of the way and was amazingly responsive to our questions. She worked around our busy schedules while carefully ensuring that our closing occurred in a timeframe that avoided added costs. She has earned her place as our mortgage lender for life.

Maureen is amazing. She is knowledgeable, efficient and quick. When I called her to tell that our offer was accepted she immediately started working. She connected with all parts involved on the purchase of our house. She is on top of things from beginning to end. Thanks Maureen for your hard work!!!!

My wife and I are first time home buyers using my VA loan. Maureen encouraged us every step of the way, and went above and beyond in making sure we were able to purchase our home. We got pre-qualified and were able to offer a 21-day escrow to help get our offer accepted. We highly recommend Maureen. She was able to give us a frank, honest assessment about what we could afford, which helped us find the right home. Thank you, Maureen!!!*UPDATE*We contacted Maureen about refinancing our home under the VA IRRRL program. Maureen provided the program requirements and made it clear whether or not we should refinance during COVID-19. She guided us through the process, and provided timely updates as we hit some bumps in the road due to unforeseen circumstances. Needless to say, our refinance was funded with a lower interest rate, and we are saving money with Maureen's help. We highly recommend Maureen if you are looking to purchase or refinance! Thanks again, Maureen!!!

The world needs to know how amazing a Maureen Martin is! First, buying a home during a global pandemic can be challenging but Maureen went above and beyond to make it a totally painless process. Any new disclosure or conditions regarding COVID were quickly and easily incorporated. Maureen was on top of continual changes and kept us informed every step of the way. Her communication and responsiveness are second to none. She was readily available to assist us in answering questions, running hypotheticals, and when it came time to pull the trigger on our dream home, Maureen stepped it up! She was incredibly efficient and continued to make this easy for us until the last step.Maureen helped us get into our forever dream home where we can raise our little girl and really call this home.If you’re looking for a painless, quick, and all around positive experience, we HIGHLY recommend Maureen.

Maureen is AMAZING! She was prompt, knowledgeable and informative. She got us a rate of 1% less, that our previous lender couldn't get... which saved us over $300 a month. The entire home buying process was a piece of cake. I would recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home! THANK YOU MAUREEN!!

I CANNOT say enough good things about Maureen! I found out about her through a real-estate agent friend of mine in 2012 and she helped with our purchase of our first home. Since then, I have used her 2 more times. She is so quick, so responsive (emails back within the hour and, typically, within minutes), and very professional. Given the current low interest rates, I asked Maureen about refinancing on July 2nd. I signed loan disclosure docs on the 7th and the loan has fully funded today, the 23rd, only 16 days later! An absolute pleasure to work with. I will never use any other mortgage broker.

Maureen did a great job on our home loan. Our loan was probably more complicated than most, being self employed. Maureen made the process simple. The communication was great and there were no surprises, and most importantly the loan closed on time. I would highly recommend Maureen to anyone who needs a mortgage. Thank you for the great job you did for us!! I have also referred Maureen to family and friends over the last couple of years and i always get positive feedback from all . She is the best and i highly recommend her.

I recently worked with Maureen Martin as my mortgage broker for a home purchase in Northern California. I originally came across Maureen when I was living in San Diego through a mutual friend. I hadn't been a homeowner for over 13 years and Maureen helped guide me all the way as though it had been my first time. This was a years-long process as I came out of a $15K+ debt situation and saved for the down payment, but Maureen stuck by my side, offering financial advice and when it was finally time to pull the trigger when all the stars aligned, I had complete confidence in her. She is incredibly thorough and detail-oriented and found a fantastic rate on the loan. We went through several home offers before landing on "the one" and she was so patient in explaining everything to me, multiple times! Working with her hundreds of miles away (Norcal vs. Socal) was no issue at all. I cannot recommend her enough - she consistently went above and beyond to help me through and made it as easy as possible. Thank you Maureen!UPDATE: Maureen reached out to me because rates have gone down and one of her top lenders came out with a new product that would allow us to refinance after only being in the home for less than a year! The process was super easy and we ended up at 3% interest instead of 4% which will save us a ton over time! I trust her completely and will be her client for life. If you have the opportunity to work with Maureen to secure a home loan, it will be one of the best financial decisions you can make!

She made me feel so comfortable with every step of the process. She’s honest and realistic and I really like that about her. Her response time is also something I appreciated. Will definitely use her in our future purchases! 😊

Maureen is awesome to work with, especially during this crazy and unique time she was able to quickly close our refi and secure us a great rate, without missing a beat!. This is our second time working with her, she has helped us through our home purchase and now with a refinance. She is incredibly knowledgeable, very easy to communicate with and happily answers any and all questions throughout the process. You can tell Maureen genuinely cares about each client she works with and we will definitely be back to work with her in the future and are always recommending her to any of our friends and family looking to refinance or get a mortgage loan of any kind!

I can't speak highly enough of Maureen Martin, and how well she walked my husband and I through the purchase of our first home, two years ago, and then again through a refi of the same home in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. She is quick to respond, always available and will give you the best loan possible. There is no one else I would work with for a home loan in the future!

My refinance loan with Maureen just funded! This is my second time working with Maureen. She did my original purchase loan back in 2012 and she made such an great impression on me with her outstanding knowledge, responsiveness, and communication skills, that I knew she would be the only lender I would ever work with again! So here I am working with her the 2nd time around during the middle of this Covid-19 crisis and she is even better! Despite all of the new obstacles in today's environment, she expertly guided me through the process and even made me laugh and have fun along the way! Thanks again Maureen!

I found Maureen online and found great reviews online, and am SO I glad I did. She helped figure out a very complicated issue and put together a fantastic loan for my family. Her work ethic and dedication to us for months prior to getting our loan put together really shows how much she cares. You won't be sorry you gave her a chance to earn your business. Thanks Maureen!!!
