Had a wonderful refinance experience with Hometown Loan. The people were fantastic to work with. Honest place to work with, we are self employed and have had a hard time getting our home refinanced, but they did for us. They are amazing.....

We worked with Lisa and Tara and could not be happier! As first time home buyers in this market, we were overwhelmed, to say the least. Lisa gently, and quickly, walked me through mortgage lending after hours and bent over backwards to get our loan funded and close escrow in 14 days! She was an absolute rockstar!

Hometown Loans, specifically Kiana and Mike, were a pleasure to work with. They were able to secure a much lower rate than my current mortgage loan and other mortgage lenders were unable to compete! Kiana was prompt to answer my questions and to submit my mortgage loan documents to make a stressful process easier. Thank you, I would definitely recommend them!

I got the mailer and wasn't sure if it was a phishing scam, so I researched it and decided to at least talk to them. I already refinanced last year with my existing loan company and got the best rate they had at the time. I didn't really expect anything better than what I had but I was surprised after talking to and decided to explore it further. We filled out the preliminary paperwork and things just went so smoothly we decided to use them. We got an even better rate than last year and so much faster! The loan officer has to call me a couple of time to remind me to check my emails since I hadn

I recently completed my re-finance process and Colby was assigned to help me with anything that was needed regarding documents, certificates, proof of income etc. Colby was very professional and knowledgeable in answering any questions I had for him. He kept me up-to date on everything and I just cannot say enough about him. He is a real asset to your Company and I hope you keep him for a long time.

This was my fourth loan process that I have gone through and I can't say enough how pleasant and easy it was. My loan officer was Mike Jarvis and he checked every box for me with satisfaction. Anytime I wanted an update he replied within minutes, straightforward, and with no delays or excuses. I am in school and work full time so I was hesitant to start a refinance because it can be so hectic. This go around it was so smooth and straight forward. The fees were minimal and the rate was with market rates. It was a please to work with HomeLoans and I honestly would recommend to anyone I know

Had a great time working with Mike and Kiana here at Hometown Loans. They both took their time explaining the details associated with our loan and we felt very confident that they were in it to help us and not just to make a buck. We appreciated to professionalism as well as the responsiveness of Kiana. We really appreciated how quickly they could close on our refi and would definitely be looking to give them business in the future.

My family wanted to Refinance and we were looking for a reliable Mortgage Company to work with. We contacted Hometown Loans and worked with Kiana H. and she was great! Kiana walked us through step by step and answered all our questions very throughly. We would definitely work with Kiana again in the future.

Mike Jarvis, Shannon Jarvis and Mike Plaia were such a pleasure to work with. My husband and I refinanced with their company twice over the past two years and everything went very smoothly. They are great communicators and kept in contact through the whole process of refinancing our mortgage. They were always available for answering questions, even into the evening, and that makes all the difference. Thanks again!!

Lisa Hoose is a dream! She is thorough, professional, and just an all around lovely person. Will Sammartano also helped us out when our first refinance with another company was backed up due to the historic rush for low rates. Lisa locked in an amazing rate for us and kept in constant communication about next steps and timelines. I'm so happy to recommend them to everyone we know.

May be a scam.
I talked to one person and they requested a copy of my current mortgage statement and they said they would get back to me next day.

A week passed and no response. I followed up again in 2 weeks and they said they call back shortly and they never did.

Look elsewhere as even based on Google reviews there may be some shady things going on:

The team was very responsive, whether it was by phone call, email, or text - I always felt that someone on the team was close by and available to help.

I was referred to Ladera Ranch by a Co-Worker who had nothing but great things to say about them and Mike Jarvis in particular. Mike was honest, straight forward and efficient. Along with Sharon, the paperwork was handled quickly and smoothly. I have had other refinances where it seemed the "additional document needed" went on forever. Not so with Mike. We closed in less than a month. No problems taking the property out of and back into trust. I will definitely use Mike and Ladera Ranch again should the need arise.

I would love for everyone to please please reach out to Nick. He held out hand through the entire process. Nick and his team are very kind, patient, and informative. I am in my 60s and the refinance process is a bit overwhelming. Nick was my fourth and last quote. He knocked everyone else out. He was the best!!! Nick and his team explained every detail to us and got us the best rate. He went above and beyond. My husband and I are so grateful. My son will be refinancing with Nick soon as well. I highly recommend Nick and his team to anyone. Please take advantage of the rates. Put your trust in them

During 2020 I made 4 attempts at refinancing. Due to circumstances like furlough, market changes and even issues with my husbands employer not filling out paperwork correctly. We failed to close each time. As frustrating as each of those experiences were we didn’t give up because we could not fail on saving money via our mortgage. After receiving another letter in the mail we came across Ladera ranch. The process was just like the other ones we had with one massive exception. Westin, Shannon and Michael showed us empathy for what we had been through previously listened to our experience and they

Yes, the soliciting letter was misleading. But the result was wonderful. I hired LRH to refinance my mortgage. Brian is my broker. Although I have excellent credit scores, my employment history was not flawless.

Interest rate was locked on 1/11, closing docs were signed and notarized on 1/25. Money was disbursed on 1/29. My mortgage rate was lowered from 4.1+% to 2.2+%. It's almost a half off. I don't care how it started. It ended well. And it was stress free as Brian promised.

I recently worked with Heather and Cristal on a refi on my home and I had a very positive experience. Both women were highly professional, very responsive, and generally just very easy to work with.

In my case, the paperwork was a little complex, but both Heather and Cristal worked with me to streamline everything and help the process go smoothly and quickly. I am very satisfied and I would recommend Hometown / Ladera Ranch Home Loans to anyone looking to buy or refinance a house.

This refinancing has been the smoothest and professional experience that I ever had, and I had several.
The team is very professional, they are very responsive with the intentions to help, the financing rate that I accepted, was the best at that time, they are very cordial, efficient, and they listen.
An excellent refinancing experience.
We worked with Everett Weston, a very happy father of a beautiful girl, and a great professional. I worked with Mike and Shannon Jarvis, extremely knowledgeable and kind. All very professional with a strong desire to help rand succeed in the refinancing goal

I reached out to Ladera Ranch Home Loans in late July 2020 after receiving a mailer to refinance. I was very excited and initially provided all my paperwork to Kathy to be pre-approved. Once she had built my file she assigned me to Mike Jarvis who would contact me within 24-48 hours. A few days went by and no call. After I followed up with Kathy, I finally received an apologetic call from Mike. This undoubtably was the writing on the wall.

With interest rates dropping and everyone rushing to refinance, I tried to be patient with Mike's lack of communication. I had to initiate a call or

I got one of these scam letters as well! Very deceptive, no company name on the letterhead - but other bank's name is there stating your mortgage lender (they got it wrong in my case). Only the small print in the back states the company name. The rate they quote looks extremely attractive, too attractive to be legit!

Be warned!

I do not do reviews but I almost called them but I saw a non-Yelp site with the scam and I wanted to warn others as this I assume was a mass-mailing!
