Fresh Home Loan Inc Harbor Bay Pkwy, Alameda

I suppose some people refinance every ten minutes for one reason or another, but I'm not one of those. So when I decided to refinance for a very specific reason, I did not have a deep bench of brokers to call. I don't remember how I landed on Garrick's website, but I left a random message just in case. This turns out to have been one of the best pieces of random luck I have had. He was great to communicate with, explained options without the usual fake buzz of urgency, and answered my questions with experienced insight and good humor. Moreover, he got me an amazing rate with terrific terms while his competition was trying to bluff me into points I didn't need to pay and generally costs that were significantly higher than they needed to be. Garrick is a treasure. Highly recommended.

We had the pleasure of working with Garrick to fund our recent house purchase. We've been through a few house purchases and refinances in the past, and this was definitely the smoothest and easiest transaction yet. Garrick was professional, available, and answered all our questions confidently and patiently. He was able to secure a mortgage for us with a rate lower than we expected and we will absolutely work with him again in the future if we ever need to.

We can’t recommend highly enough! Straight talker, he always gives us the info we need to make smart decisions, and is an absolute pleasure to work with. Garrick got us our original loan and helped us refinance twice; every time resulted in a better rate and more financial security.

As a real estate agent, I've been working with Garrick for a while now and so when my wife and I decided to refi/eliminate our HELOC on our house, we thought Garrick and Fresh Home Loan would be the perfect choice. It's a given that Garrick knows how to make people feel comfortable and relaxed, but what I really like is that he listens to your situation and then helps you craft a solution. He's direct and helps you understand what the numbers really are, not all the teaser rates you'll see on the internet. Also, he's not trying to sell you whatever happens to be best for him, which is very refreshing. Bonus is that his assistant, Lucy, is both professional and efficient/pleasant to work with as well. Once you begin the process, there's a platform used to enter all of your data/docs that helps ensure that everything is done and moving along. The other thing to remember is that something always goes off-kilter with mortgages and real estate. How does your professional deal with it? My experience with Garrick and Lucy is that they work hard and fix problems, not just tell you what's wrong and let you struggle and stress about it. Real estate/mortgage stuff is hard enough, so work with a professional and friendly team that gets the job done. Choose Fresh Home Loan.

I highly recommend Garrick and Lucy. They were the one lender that could promise to meet the seller's need for a 21 day close. They not only lived up to that promise, they made the process exceptionally smooth despite the rush. Good people!

Garrick has been my go-to lender for years. I have been in Real Estate for 25 years and worked with many different lenders over the years. I can simply say Garrick is the best hands down. Efficient, Courteous, Professional and he always has the best rates! I've referred Garrick to friends and family and he has always taken care of them like they are family. Garrick also has a great sense of humor and it comes in handy during stressful situations, which tends to happen in real estate. He always knows how to make you feel at ease and explains everything during the loan process. I can confidently say you wont be disappointed working with Garrick.

Garrick was recommended by a satisfied friend. He responded quickly, didn’t push, provided facts with no BS, and answered way too many of my questions. He even matched a lower bank rate quote! When it was time to move, he and his team worked quickly to remove all obstacles and close within 3 weeks. I’m very happy with the process and my new fixed rate, and would definitely do business with Fresh Home Loans again!

Have worked with Garrick and his team on two loans (purchase and a refinance). Both experiences have been great. Without question they offer the best rates, which is primary of course. But they’ve also been very helpful and knowledgeable with navigating my complex file and situation. Where some other brokers failed to get it done, wasting months of my time, Garrick and his team made it happen. Highly recommended!

We have used Garrick several times for finance and refinance. He even helped a potential buyer of one of our properties to qualify to buy. Each time he communicated all along the process and was always been very professional. The rates he quotes have always been better than the quotes from the lenders that constantly reach out to us. We will always take our business to Garrick.

I've worked with Garrick three times now. I trust him to get me a good deal and help me through the process. He takes time to explain the numbers and works hard to get me the best deal possible. I'm really happy with my latest mortgage rate and the process went quickly and smoothly. I highly recommend working with Garrick and his team.
