Baret Kechian

Michael and team were so helpful and great to work with throughout the home buying process.

I worked with Eli and team, they were very through and helpful. Really appreciated them being so responsive and easily reachable to my various questions.

Loan depot was awful. We really felt helpless with them, and our loan person was outright rude to us.

Arthur was very helpful and communicative during our purchase. At some points during underwriting it felt like there were gaps in communication at the time but that was mostly our impatience. Everything closed properly and we have no complaints.

I compared rates with 8 other lenders and ended up going with Loan Depot due to their competitive rates + PMI + lender credit. I was generally satisfied with the experience, but after the initial correspondences it became increasingly apparent that all of the team members were very difficult to reach. I emailed/called/left voicemails/followed up but on many if not most occasions I never got my questions answered nor was given at least an acknowledgement of receipt. While it's prevalent in home purchases for closing to get delayed, I had to push really hard to not delay it by a lot (it was delayed by 2 days, but if I did not push, it could easily have been a week or more). Do take this review with a grain of salt since I do not have experiences with other lenders in the residential home purchase context, but my satisfaction level of the services were around average and I will most likely try a different lender next time.

Upon recommendation from a friend: LoanDepot and their team have been great to work with throughout. From quoting, rate locking (and relocking), and working through a delayed closing they were incredibly patient and responsive in pushing things through in a timely manner and with little hangups.

Baret was amazing. Very professional and knowledgable. Very responsive to any of our questions.

Baret and team patiently discussed various loan options with us and provided us with recommendations that best fit us as first-time buyers. They were extremely helpful in generating pre-approval letters (for varying amounts when the bidding went on). They were always available to connect via phone and email to answer any time-sensitive questions. They made the loan process seem like a breeze and helped us close on schedule!

Baret's group including John and Mary were amazing! Returned calls and expedited the process in nothing short of a miracle.
