We had a very challenging loan, both because we have an unusual property and because I am self-employed. Cathy stuck with us through the process remaining helpful and engaged the entire time and we achieved closure with an excellent rate. Would be happy to recommend Cathy to anyone needing her help.

Kathy is the best. I have done many loans with her. She is always attentive to our needs and responds quickly. She keeps us up to date on progress and is always checking in. She is like ray if sunshine. She makes getting a new loan or a refinance a much more pleasant experience.

Cathy was simply the best! She explained everything so clearly and was so efficient. It was my first time buying a house so she put it into terms I understood and was extremely patient. She researched everything so thoroughly to even find a first home owner loan and helped me take the course to get certified. She is a rockstar. I was buying my home over Christmas and New Years and she made sure we were ahead of schedule for closing, so the holidays didn't negatively impact us. She is so great to work with!!

I met with Cathy to discuss current mortgage rates and she helped me better understand the details in selling rental properties and capital gains taxes. Wow, a true expert! I am thankful to have an extremely experienced professional who watches out for her clients' best interest vs. just making a dollar. Thank you Cathy! Your integrity is appreciated and you are a true delight to work with!

Cathy did a fantastic job getting us a low rate for our refinance. She explained the process and kept in contact with us during our transaction. We wouldn't hesitate to ask for her help again and we regularly refer her. You won't be disappointed!

Cathy is amazing to work with! She is extremely knowledgeable, organized and thorough. She helps the closing process to move along quickly and smoothly and is great at responding right away. I would highly recommend Cathy, especially to first time home buyers.

Cathy is TERRIFIC! It's Simple: SHE KNOWS HER STUFF.

I have purchased and refinanced so many times over the years and have ALWAYS been disappointed with the service, the interest rate, and the 'garbage' fees they hit you with in escrow (that may indeed be valid but are never disclosed properly until the end when you have to come up with tons of additional cash to close).

Cathy is driven, experienced and knowledgeable in the entire process from start to finish, she's just so....AMAZING! I got a fantastic deal on my rental property, and I must confess, I was nervous as

I confess I don't write reviews nearly often enough, but in this case I was compelled to by a great experience. My wife and I couldn't be happier with Cathy's service. We just completed a refi with Cathy, our 3rd new loan in the past 2 years. We had a purchase loan in Sept. 2014, and a refi 9 months later to eliminate our PMI and lower our payment. Both loans were with the same mortgage broker and both were quite stressful, things just getting done at the last minute. When the rates dropped recently he contacted us again and told us that we could save about $300/mo. if we did another

I'm a little disappointed I have to do this, but maybe I'll get what I need.

I hope that Cathy has learned a lot about VA loans and TRID through my loan and that others will not have to suffer like I did.

I worked with Cathy to get our VA loan approved, and that was a struggle by itself. One minute we were preapproved, then all of a sudden we were not. After starting over, we were preapproved again and ready to buy a house. I was told I could close with zero down payment, then after we signed our contract and it was accepted I was told I need to come up with $32K. That was fun adjusting

She's fantastic! Give her a call. I was happy I did! As stressful as home purchasing can be, she makes the process go seamlessly, gives great advice along the way, and offered great referrals for agents, appraisers, etc.

Cathy is beyond the best in the business if there is a loan out there for you she will find it. She is in the top of her field and I would recommend everyone give her a chance you will not be sorry.

Cathy was very nice. She was so easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. She didn't make me feel rushed and answer any questions I had. She even took the time to help me fill out forms. I highly recommend her!!

My wife and I are just about to close on our first home, and Cathy has been beyond fantastic. Her attention to detail and patience are amazing, and at no time did I ever feel like I was low on her priority list. In fact, it was hard to tell that I wasn't her only customer most of the time!

We always knew where we were in the process and what was needed from us. She is always frank in letting us know what is outside of our control, and while the waiting can be tortuous to endure it is nice to know that Cathy is advocating for us and pulling every lever she has available to her to try

(I wrote this email to Cathy @ Bay Area Loan to thank her for doing such an amazing job)

Cathy,

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for the fantastic job you
did with our recent refinance. I can't tell you how incredibly
impressed I am with the level of professionalism you and your firm
demonstrated throughout this process. As you know, we've worked with other mortgage brokers in the past. While those experiences were satisfactory for the most part, working with Bay Area Loan was
extraordinary!

Throughout the entire process, we could clearly see that you had our
