We work very hard for our customers because nothing pleases us more than helping our clients acheive the dream of affordable home ownership. We want to add you to our list of very satisfied customers.

Read what others have said about working with us:

In September 2016 we were first-time home-buyers. We interviewed 3 different lenders who were highly recommended. We were not impressed with any of them -- they all acted like salesmen, using unnecessary lingo, proposing unnecessary services, such as piggy-back loans, HELOCs, etc. They just did not seem like players we wanted on our home-buying team. We found Holmgren, and Jim Valler specifically, through Yelp reviews. After working with Jim to complete our first real estate transaction, we must say that yes, all the reviews praising Jim Valler and the rest of the Holmgren team are accurate in their praiseworthiness! We scheduled an introductory meeting with Jim to discuss our needs and see if our personalities, attention to detail, and work ethic were similar, especially given our 3 failed attempts with other lenders. We thoughts that our introductory meeting would be about 1 hour long -- it ended up being 2.5 hours long -- and all of it positive. Jim really got to know us, our situation, our desires. Jim also provided all the answers regarding Holmgren, the transaction processes, and provided us with a detailed plan of all the documents we needed to gather. As we honed in on a property Jim and his team were right there. Everything we planned out 2 months before, was executed as explained to us and planned in advance. Jim was great at answering all the newby questions we had, and provided excellent explanations regarding actions of other players involved including the escrow company and insurance agent (we ended using Jim's home owners insurance recommendation). When it came time to lock in the interest rate, Jim sent us daily updates of the rates, as well as technical market analysis and interpretations. Jim was not some "money guy" you had you check up on all the time on, but was instead a proactive teammate and an adviser with excellent lending and market insight. Simply excellent! Detail-oriented, prompt follow up, clear communicator, and a professional. Sometimes you end up having your realtor over for dinner once the transaction is complete, but how often do you have your lending agent over for dinner? Yes, Jim Valler is that kind of a lending agent.

I contacted Holmgren & Associates in late 2017 after reading all the other positive reviews. I was looking for a straight-shooting, trustworthy assessment of a reverse mortgage situation for my 92-year-old grandmother. Without guarantee of business or reciprocity, John Holmgren communicated with me via e-mail as well as phone and ably and expertly answered my questions in a timely fashion. I am especially appreciative of his time as I did not have all the information needed to make the questions easy to answer for John but he still patiently walked me through what he could confidently conclude and what additional information would help him to give even better advice. Ultimately, after talking with John we were able to keep my grandmother in her home (her strong preference); if not for him, she likely would have moved to a facility she did not want to go to for fear of financial insolvency. We did not end of having to switch my grandmother's reverse mortgage to lender to Holmgren & Associates (in fact, John said it would have been very expensive to start over) so the least I can do is let others know of my experience and hope that my experience will lead others to trust John and his team for their own needs. If we needed a new reverse mortgage I absolutely would have gone with John; he was knowledgeable, helpful, and, as evidenced above, clearly committed to doing what was right for the customer rather than what is necessarily most expedient for profits and the business. Kudos. We need more members of the community like him. I wish him only the best and hope his business will grow and be known as a trustworthy, upstanding part of the community.

Holmgren & Associates are simply the best in the business. Jim Valler, especially, demonstrates an amazing knowledge of the industry as well as an unparalleled loyalty and dedication to his clients that goes far above & beyond the call of duty. Jim is amazing! I just did a refinance with Jim and am super happy with his work as well as his ongoing support.

Jim Valler is the first mortgage broker that I have known who wasn't intimidating. I always tell my clients to "get pre-approved". They respond with fear, but not with Jim Valler. He is calm, positive and willing to wait for a long time for someone to establish their credit. He is positive in his attitude and comfortable to talk with.

This review is long long overdue! John Holmgren and his team made it possible for us to buy our first house in 2012! This was back in the days when getting a loan to buy a house was still difficult due to all the regulations that had been put in place after the big crash on Wall Street but John expertly and patiently guided us through a rather complex process due to the fact that I'm a business owner and my wife had just gone back to work after we had our two boys! I truly don't believe any other mortgage broker would have succeeded in making it happen but John did and we were able to close on our first house after an 8-week escrow period. Thanks John! When we sold the first house after having completed a complete renovation 4 years later, we had such a great experience working with John and his team that we called him to put the financing in place for a second house. The first time around had been so challenging that I was afraid John would not want to work with us again but I called him and once again he made it happen. The second house was a much easier transaction but we still had bumps in the road when the sellers became difficult we decided to pull out of escrow at the last minute! John's expertise helped us get back on track and we were able to close on that same house in just a couple weeks. Thank you from the four of us for making our dreams of being homeowners become a reality twice already!

John and his team are fantastic! I worked with them on the purchase loan for my family's first home and I knew I could always count on them throughout the process. John and Jared worked relentlessly with us and our realtor. They made the process so -dare I say EASY- and provided best in class customer service from the very first meeting. They are not only knowledgeable but he genuinely cared for our financial well being. They were able to answer all of our questions throughout the entire home buying process and made us feel comfortable. And in the end we secured an amazing rate! I highly recommend Holmgren and Associates!

San Francisco, CA | June 27, 2017

John and his team are rock stars. As a first time home buyer and new to the Bay Area, I knew the whole process would be a challenge, but John made me feel comfortable and secure the whole time. He was always available to answer questions, even by phone on weekends (sorry about that, John), and made me feel very confident and taken care of. The process became complicated and a bit challenging at the end, but he and his team worked through it without making me feel nervous, which is quite the task because I easily get nervous. I am recommending Holmgren & Associates to any friends that are looking to buy a home, and I highly recommend them to you too, dear reader. You'll be very happy you chose them.

I rarely write reviews, but feel compelled to write one for John and his team because they were absolutely amazing. We had so many problems securing mortgage financing w/ other brokers, and were so lucky to have found Holmgren & Associates. They are extremely professional, they kept me in the loop about everything, and we closed 3 days earlier then we had originally planned. I would highly, highly recommend John and his team to anyone who is looking for financing. I feel confident that they will get the job done, and you will be moving into your new home in no time at all! 10 Stars!!

Jim was incredibly helpful throughout the entire house-buying process. My husband and I are both first time homeowners and I'm a very type-A, detail oriented, and often anxious person. Jim was consistently kind, understanding, and most importantly, responsive to all of my questions and concerns. He never hesitated to take the time to talk to me and walk me through each step of the process. There's no one better out there!

John Holmgren and his team are absolutely fantastic! Our loan process was pretty complicated. We were doing a home equity line on one home while trying to purchase a new home. John was incredibly patient with my family. He always kept his calm demeanor even when I am sure he wanted to pull his hair out! I am a new home buyer and he was great at explaining all the details with me and making sure I got the best rate possible. He made me feel really confident through the whole process and I trusted his team with every turn. I would recommend John to anyone looking buy or refinance their home.

I worked with Jim Valler to refinance my home. My situation was complicated and I know it was time consuming for Jim. Jim worked with me every step of the way, explained everything clearly and made very helpful suggestions. He responded promptly and throughly to questions and stayed in close touch throughout the whole process. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

I highly recommend Jim Valler. He was great at explaining things to my wife and I, and gave us plenty of useful information. I feel a lot more informed and educated on home mortgages thanks to him. He was also very quick in responding to my e-mails and inquiries. If you're looking for a home mortgage broker, I certainly would encourage you to reach out to Jim. ~Sean B. http://www.yelp.com/biz/holmgren-and-associates-oakland?hrid=hHDrgTfOz-WejwgE6sUMDw&utm_campaign=bizsite_review_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct)

Rick did an outstanding job. He literally held our hand and walked us through every step of the re-fi process. He's a great guy, knowledgable, friendly and professional. I'm sure we will contact him if and when we decide to refinance our home and I will recommend him to all of my friends considering refinancing their homes as well.

Jim Valler is a very trustworthy, hard working and skilled lender and got us great rates. I appreciated his straightforward approach to telling the layperson the components of the underwriting process and what the actual monthly and closings costs would be. We successfully bought a home in the Bay Area because we found a reputable skilled lender in Jim Valler. I highly recommend him.

- Phil Y.
Emeryville, CA | June 06, 2016

Jim and the entire team at Holmgren did an exceptional job at guiding me through my options for a jumbo loan refinance of my home. Everyone's communications to me were always clear and accurate, and they answered all of my questions quickly and thoroughly. The online document signing made it easy to track and keep pace with the frequent requests for more documentation. They even arranged for a notary to come to my house to sign all of the final documents which was very convenient for my wife and I. I highly recommend Jim and team for their outstanding teamwork and professionalism!

wanted to drop you a note in order to express my thanks for helping us secure our dream house. Right now, while I'm not putting my shoulder to the wheel at Autodesk, we've been spending time packing and transferring things out to our new home, so this note has been a long time coming. Even though my wife worked directly with you most of the time, but I could imagine how much work that you had put into the process. Speaking of professionalism, we were impressed by how carefully and detailed that you looked at our application, you even pointed out some information that I could not think of, also helped me with my credit to have a better loan. On top of that, you was really patient with all of our "first-time home-buyer" questions and I know we have bunches of questions. I will never forget that you sent me emails almost every night to bring us up with the speed of the process, and even were there with us while we were signing off the documents with escrow. Speaking of collaboration, we appreciated your willingness to coordinate with escrow company, our agents and other related parties to make the loan/purchase possible. Without your help, we would have to run back and forth between other parties to have all the required documents. It was really a huge weight off our shoulders to know that we have you and the team looking out for us, especially it was our first time buying the house. Speaking of enthusiasm and friendliness, "Jim seems like he doesn't want to stop at all", :) you still help us with the post processes and all the related questions that we have after the loan was funded. You never know how much appreciated we were when you still keep researching for our questions, and gave us better suggestion. We'll sure try to recommend my friends who are looking for a mortgage advisor. We also look forward to doing business with you in the future and would be happy if we could keep in touch. You earned our trust, totally! To John, we just want to let you know how impressed and pleased we were while working with Jim during the process of our loaning. We dreaded the confusion and complication of it all but it couldn't have been an easier process, thanks to Jim. Again, thank for your help!

Jim was very patient with us over the course of three years to finally purchase our first home. We were a tough case from the beginning, but found Holmgren and Associates to be very patient. We appreciate the frank approach, and conservative mindset, along the the creativity it took to close our home we we needed it. We've already recommended them to friends and family and will continue to do so in the future.

I can't say enough how much I appreciate John Holmgren's help in securing my loan. As a first time home buyer I was very nervous and pessimistic about my options. I thought maybe I'm just just a baby fish in the sea and no one is going to care about my small funds going towards my first home. John was very responsive and dedicated. He walked me through the whole process even though I had a million questions and fears. A few weeks later, I landed a house! Now I have my first home! Process was quick and painless. Not nearly as scary as I thought! Thank you very much!

John Holmgren is great. We were first time home-buyers on a tight budget buying a house off-the-grid in the country that was not a typical deal for the realtors, both of whom drove us nuts with theatrics and pressure and threats to the point we ignored them and just listened to John. The realtors must have driven him nuts too, but it didn't show. He stayed sane and calm and we got it done, thanks to him. Five stars.

John and his team recently helped me with providing a financing solution for my new home. I was extremely impressed with their ability to make things happen within a tight time frame. This is the team I needed to support my goal within the crazy Bay Area real estate market. Without them I am not sure I would have been able to get the home I was after.

John Holmgren was an important part of the team that helped get us our house. His reputation is excellent in the local real estate community which makes a difference when submitting an offer. He was able to arrange a very quick close that allowed us to make a competitive winning bid against at least 9 others.

- Emily G.
Alameda, CA | June 03, 2015

When buying a home, one of the things a lot of people don't realize is how important the mortgage broker is. Especially in this competitive market, we were always one of a dozen strong offers. We truly believe that having a well-regarded person like John Holmgren's name on our offer helped, but also having him and Jim Valler follow through on an extremely fast escrow period did wonders. We just closed on our first home and are extremely excited and relieved. We could not have done this with intact sanity had they not been so patient, clear, responsive and supportive during such a stressful time.

- Kara R.
Oakland, CA | May 12, 2015

My husband and I just worked with John Holmgren on the pre-approval and mortgage process and have nothing but great things to say about our experience. His service and responsiveness were top notch and we always felt that he was working hard for us and our best interests. We would highly recommend John to others!

Ayata Colbert and Jim Valler are nothing short of superlative. As a team, they will be present, patient, and persistent as you navigate the maze of mortgage procurement. Months after our deal has closed, Ayata continues to make herself available for advice. It is clear that she is in the business of building lasting relationships, in addition to closing deals. When purchasing a property, especially a first home, you want to be in the company of folks who can help you make split second decisions that will have dramatic impacts on your life for many years to come. You can trust Ayata and Jim--we did! And will recommend them to anyone who will listen.

John Holmgren is an amazing lending agent. He worked very hard for us, always kept us informed of what pieces of information we needed for each submission and worked hard to ensure that our lending process went smoothly. We really appreciate how quick he was to respond and all of his help. We would strongly recommend using him in the future.

My review is for Holmgren Associates - Ms. Ayata Colbert. I came into the housing market - due to rising rent prices. I found a realtor who I trusted and liked and asked for a recommended loan officer. I was referred to Ms. Colbert, and boy was that a blessing! Of course the process is long and daunting - but please believe me that choosing your loan officer is the single most important decision you can make towards securing a good/great loan. You want someone who knows their business and can close. Ms. Colbert not only closed my loan in less than 5 weeks - but got me a rate that was 1.4 percent LOWER than expected. And she told me on Christmas Day that the loan was 100 % approved and a go...! This woman works - I'm not completely sure she even sleeps! Well, needless to say I am very happy that I found this wonderful woman, and that she could help me. Ms. Colbert can tailor a loan to your individual circumstances because she does her homework. I highly recommend Holmgren Associates and specifically Ms. Colbert for your home loan needs - professional, competent, honest - and gets the job done!

Jim Valler and everyone at Holmgren were excellent. I worked with John Holmgren for much longer in the process than I was expecting as he is the owner of the business. When I was transferred to Jim for the remainder of the process I thought for a moment that now I was going to get the flunkey. Man was I wrong, Jim was incredibly professional, patient, and above all a really kind and thoughtful person. I would never thought such a friendly sweet person would be responsible for taking care of all my paperwork. The process went so smoothly that we were ready to close a week before our actual closing date. I also think that due to doing so much online through their site and via email it seemed like the stack of papers to sign for the loan was quite small and manageable on the day of closing. It's funny to say about a mortgage provider, but I really enjoyed working with them, and would not hesitate to do it again. (purchase)

It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Gary McDonald. Myself, as well as several of my family members have used Gary to obtain home loans or refinancing. From start to finish Gary is very informative. Gary explains the meaning and purpose of all documents required, signed and submitted. I was constantly updated on the process of my loan, and if any additional information was required, Gary was happy to work around my busy schedule. I appreciate working with an honest and knowledgeable loan agent, and I will continue to use Gary for my future mortgage needs. He really does " Make Getting a Loan Easy!". (refinance)09/02/2014

Holmgrem and Associates recently facilitated a complicated transaction for our family, involving four buyers. We had been searching for a property in Berkeley CA for a year, and had a number of unaccepted offers. John Holmgrem and his staff were extremely helpful and patient during this long process, and were always willing to answer questions and guide us. What might have been an extremely daunting experience was made so much easier by this team of wonderful people. Definitely five star! (purchase) 08/14/2014

Thanks to Ayata I recently purchased my first home; I will admit it was the most daunting process of my life, but Ayata coached me all the way through. There were times when I wanted to give up, but because of her persistence, I persevered. Ayata was consistent, truthful and really had my best interest at heart. She explained the home buying process to me in terms I could understand, which was important to me, considering all of the horror stories you hear about real estate agents, loan officers and the like, but I must say, that was not my experience. When I first began the process I did not have a real estate agent, which I of course shared with Ayata, she put me in contact with an agent and the three of us worked very well together, it's as if she knew the kind of agent that would best fit my needs. If you're in the market for a home and need assistance with the home buying process, and want a loan officer you can trust, I highly recommend Ayata Colbert. (purchase) 08/12/2014

Yelp needs more than five stars for people like BRENDA WYATT. As first time homebuyers, we were pretty clueless on the whole process of buying a home. Brenda went out her way details of the loan process and literally could not have done it without her. She was always very prompt in answering emails and returning phone calls. She kept us updated throughout the whole process. She's very efficient, responsive, and professional. We highly recommend Brenda, especially if you're a first time buyer. She'll take the time to explain what can be quite a complicated process. (purchase) 08/04/2014

It's rare to find someone like John Holmgren with so many years of experience and yet he looks so young! John is well-respected amongst the Realtor community for being so consistent in his approach to his business. He's excellent at taking a very complicated situation and breaking it down to make it manageable. It's no small feat getting a loan these days, but John has earned a very positive reputation for helping buyers navigate the process and actually be thrilled by the end of it! 08/04/2014

I have worked with Mari Parsnick on my own loan and also referred her to many of my clients. She has taken what looked like impossible situations and helped my clients strengthen their position to the lender. I also appreciate that she helps write pre-approval letters last minute and always seems to have time even when she's on vacation! Once the offer is accepted, she is tireless in overseeing the millions of tasks that are required to process a simple loan these days. Afterwards, my clients are so thrilled they were able to buy when they did and they continue to use Mari as a resource to refinance. 08/04/2014

This review is for Brenda Wyatt who is exceptional! While we communicated mostly over email and phone, she responded at all times to questions that we had. She explained everything and made the process infinitely easier for us as we were first time home-buyers. She is personable and always steered us in the right direction. We greatly enjoyed working with her as she is a highly organized person, which is an asset to have on your side. Her coworker, Vealetta, was also a great help. After our loan closed, she helped me with a problem at the title company and offered to help if I had any other questions that came up. If you want someone who will help you through all the forms and documentation, explain the process in the clearest manner, and who also is a kind and professional mortgage advisor, then Brenda Wyatt is a great choice. We can say nothing, but give the highest praise and recommend her to anyone! (purchase) 7/29/2014

When I first started the buying process I was referred to John Holmgren through my Realtor, but being a first time buyer, I had no idea what to expect from the whole process. Throughout every step of the way John and his colleagues were extremely polite, professional, and extremely helpful! They were able to provide wonderful, concise information to help us better understand the process without "dumbing it down" for us. They provided great insight into our different options, and their expertise and assistance was really above and beyond our expectations. I don't plan on buying another house soon, but if I ever need a mortgage broker, or know someone that needs one, Holmgren and Associates is definitely the place to go! (purchase) 07/02/2014

Working with Brenda Wyatt was nothing short of stellar. It's amazing when you meet people who seem to magically make things happen! Because we are self-employed, my husband and I were nervous about applying for a mortgage. Brenda made it very simple for us. She patiently explained the mortgage application process, provided us with clear instructions, and gave us the heads up about the kinds of information lenders might need. She consistently took the time to answer questions that came up. She was always very professional, yet in a warm and very sweet way. Throughout the process of selling our condo and making an offer on a home, Brenda and her amazing assistant Vealetta were in constant communication with us. I imagine that since we are self-employed, it probably caused some behind-the-scenes headaches and amped up the volume of paperwork, but they never let on. In the end, not only did Brenda get us a mortgage with an awesome rate, she was able to close our loan in 19 days. In short, if you're looking for a mortgage, give Brenda a call. You won't regret it!

I am grateful to Brenda for her knowledge and personal support during my recent re-finance. From beginning to end, Brenda was there for me. At each step, she patiently explained the process and answered questions to help me understand the requirements and all the terms of my loan. She was quick to respond to e-mail and telephone queries, and met with me personally to review my questions and concerns. She and her assistant Vealetta spent time and effort to resolve technical issues which were unique to my situation. Brenda expedited the timely closing of my loan, coordinating with all parties involved. Her good guidance gave me assurance and reduced my anxiety during the entire process. She went above and beyond. She truly was my personal Mortgage Advisor and I appreciate her professionalism and guidance. (refinance) 07/01/2014

I was referred to Miren by an Attorney assisting with Trust issues involved with a reverse mortgage. I am so pleased that we met and have had a chance to bond. Not only does she work miracles, Miren is very personable, and I feel as though I have known her forever. I still cannot believe she and her husband took the time to attend my Dad's memorial service. He passed before we closed the reverse mortgage loan. Miren kept things in perspective, and assured me that we would get through this. I call her my angel. I had to take care of things for my parents, and am still caring for my mom. I get stressed and anxious often, but I know that I can run things by Miren and she will share her wisdom. I am truly thankful for her assistance and knowledge. I have worked in the mortgage industry and I know how rules often change. It is pertinent to work with someone who knows the business and takes the time to explain matters. I am always thankful and amazed at how thorough she is. I know she works extremely hard, but makes it appear effortless. Miren goes above and beyond. I really appreciate her strong work ethics. She did more than she had to do to ensure we closed on time and she also pushed to get things done that were not within her area of responsibility (truly amazing and impressive). Thank you Miren for helping me through a really tough ordeal. I especially appreciate your attendance at the signing. That was really comforting. You are a ROCK STAR. (reverse mortgage) 06/20/2014

John Holmgren of Holmgren & Associates, was a great help in securing my reverse mortgage. He answered all my questions, he was readily available both by phone and in person, and most importantly, he helped me save a great deal of money. The reverse mortgage has allowed me to experience relief after six difficult years which began when I lost my teaching job at the start of the recession. I highly recommend Holmgren & Associates for any mortgage needs. (reverse mortgage)

Ayata and Walter helped me with a difficult condo purchase. Ayata was very professional and provided information and helped me find a lender that would accept our limited paperwork that the Seller/HOA had provided. In Ayata's absence Walter always provided information on time and was very professional. It was a difficult purchase because of lack of paperwork from the other side and some accounting errors/issues with the other sides paperwork, but Ayata worked hard to find a lender and succeeded in getting my loan approved.

These guys are FANTASTIC! I had what appeared to be an impossible property to purchase- John and Jim made it happen. It involved the sale of two homes to purchase a 100 acre ranch. Not an easy task when one of the properties is a rental property with two individual tenants (1031 exchange), and the purchase property is zoned for agriculture, that required a commercial loan. Finding a lender to loan on that much land with our down payment was almost impossible. Jim worked tirelessly to find a lender after I told him how much it meant to our family to be able to raise our children in the country. When I felt all bets were off and we couldn't find a lender, ready to "pull the plug" on our dream, Jim called me around 7PM on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving Day. He told me he had just found a company that would carry the loan for us. I will never forget that moment, it has truly changed our lives and we are forever grateful the Holmgren staff. Both John and Jim displayed an impeccable level of professionalism and knowledge throughout the five month process. Without any reserve I would recommend them to my family and friends. Thanks again guys! (purchase) 5/27/2014

I am a licensed real estate sales person working at Alameda's Gallagher and Lindsey Realtors office. I have been licensed since 1984. I am eager to praise the services of Holmgren & Associates and John Holmgren. In today's market a buyers, be they first-time buyers or experienced home buyers, buyers need honest, experienced and attentive representation on the mortgage side of buying a property. It is rare to find that buyers are informed in completely helpful fashion and supported throughout the buying process by mortgage brokers. As an agent I can do many things to bring awareness and success into the process of finding a home and getting through the escrow period. Still, the finance part with all its reviews and underwriting steps so critical in a "hot market." A buyer needs the professional guidance and responsiveness of professional experts. In a number of recent home purchases Holmgren & Associates has made the difference for my buyers from being home buyers or also-rans in the competitive bidding process. I suggest that any home seeker will do very well by teaming up with John Holmgren and Holmgren& Associates. 05/27/2014

She helped us get a loan to purchase our first home. She was fast, accurate, and made the process easy. She introduced us to realtors and had at least one contact for anything we needed throughout the process. (purchase) 03/01/2014

After renting a house for many years, I ended up buying it from my landlord, and it was she who referred me to Holmgren & Associates. As this was my first house purchase, I was overwhelmed and often suspicious of the process, but John Holmgren quickly established himself as someone I could trust. In the end, he not only handled my mortgage but provided indispensable counsel. There were a few times when I thought the deal would fall through, and I'm sure it would have if it weren't for John. Jim Valler also helped with the transaction, and he helped explain some of the finer details. He was personable as well as accessible, and a real pleasure to work with.

My experience with Brenda started with me calling her office and leaving a message, urgently needing a pre-approval letter for an offer I wanted to make, on a Saturday afternoon. Brenda called me back within an hour, was extremely helpful, and got me the needed document that evening. From that moment, Brenda highly available and worked hard to make my home-buying experience the best it could be. I had some very unique financial situations that needed to be worked through, and Brenda and her assistant took them in stride and remained pleasant and helpful throughout. I loved that fact that we were able to complete the application online, upload my documents to her secure server and electronically sign the disclosures, with my travel schedule that helped make the process stress-free.I could not recommend Brenda highly enough. She was very open and clear about all of the steps that needed to be gone through, many of which I was not aware of, and she managed to make something that has the reputation of being a painful, drawn out experience, the exact opposite.

We used John Holmgren for our first house purchase in Oakland after reading the great Yelp reviews. I wanted to work with someone local as I suspected that my finances were going to be complicated and I wanted a good relationship with our realtor. As it turned out, my finances were complicated beyond what I could possibly have imagined. I already had a mortgage in another country, part-funded the deposit from foreign savings and had tax returns prepared for me that I barely understand. I was not an easy customer for John to work with! Despite this, I could not have been happier with the experience we had. Not only did he work well with our realtor, but he followed through on all his commitments, patiently explained all the quirks of the US mortgage process and navigated us through all of the red tape to a successful approval and closure. Had I just gone with a big national company I cannot imagine I would have received such personal, thorough and responsive service. I would not hesitate to use Holmgren & Associates again.

John Holmgren was originally referred to me by a real estate agent over 20 years ago. Since that time, John has obtained mortgages for me and done refinancing on several homes. There is no better place to go for financing or refinancing a home! John is responsive, resourceful, and very well organized. His office is efficient, and everyone I have worked with there is excellent. John has been in the loan business for decades and has developed strong, positive relationships with banks and lenders. During one of my transactions, the funding of the loan was delayed a few days, escrow was scheduled to close, so John arranged an immediate, same day short term loan to cover the gap of a few days. John goes way beyond what anyone would expect of a loan broker. I recommend Holmgren & Associates very highly! (purchase) 12/12/2013

We worked with a mortgage advisor on his team for most of the administrative work, but were impressed that John continued to be engaged and guided us on important decisions throughout the process. During the escrow process there were a couple of scrambles for urgent paperwork, but perhaps that should be expected for the very fast close that we successfully achieved!

This was the second time I worked with John on a refi within the last 10 years. He is professional, he works quickly and most importantly he is honest. John will explain in detail what is possible in your situation and he will not recommend a loan that is not in your best interest. When interest rates dropped a few years ago I contacted John about a doing a refi. The real estate market had tanked after the 2008 economic crisis and it wasn't an option for me at that time, but his office kept in touch with me over the last few years and when the market rebounded we sprang into action and I was able to get a new loan with better terms and a much lower interest rate.

Brenda took the time to explain the process to us and answer all of our newbie questions without making us feel inferior for our lack of knowledge. Brenda has excellent customer service and follow through. We were always able to get a hold of her through email and phone calls, sometimes even after normal business hours.

Brenda was extremely easy to work with. She explained every step in plain English and made sure to make herself available to answer any questions we had. She also worked with our schedules which was a huge help. We were purchasing with a smaller budget (for the bay area) and at no point did she make us feel uncomfortable about that. We had spoken to another broker previously who did make us feel like we were not really worth the time. Because of foundation repairs that we were partially paying for during escrow, Brenda suggested that we take a very slightly higher rate in exchange for a credit at closing. While this will be more expensive in the long run we really needed the extra cash at closing and were glad that she suggested it. Brenda made the process of buying with an FHA loan completely smooth. We experienced none of the horror stories that we had heard about these loans. Our financing was a non issue - which was exactly what we wanted it to be!
