It's a big deal agreeing to pay hundreds of thousands, so it's important to feel comfortable with the decision and the documents. Thankfully, Devin was great. Straight to the point with things (unlike some loan companies I tried getting quotes from), available at all hours, and made sure anything I wasn't completely understanding was explained detail. He also got me a better rate than anywhere online, and there's no commission charged to the homebuyer (they make money by getting a fee from the lender you go with).

Where can I start!? Evan is the most fabulous broker and agent we could have ever asked for in the home buying process.
As first time home buyers, my husband and I knew we needed someone patient. Evan went above and beyond for us. I know we probably asked him the same questions a million different ways but each time he was so patient and caring. Because of Evan and his team (Tiffany and Derek) we feel so educated and confident in our decisions.
If you are looking for a patient, responsive, and all around fabulous agent, look no further than Evan. He will take care of you!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Frank M.San Diego, CA081Aug 4, 2021
If you are a seller, be weary of those purchase offers that come through with a pre-approval from Finest City. They have repeatedly delayed my closing going on three weeks now with no end in sight. Communication is atrocious, updates are non-existent, and their process is flawed. It baffles me how an organization can handle what ends up being the biggest financial transaction of a person's life with such apathy.
Once I terminate this contract, I'll be declining any future offers that come through with pre-approvals from Finest City. Absolutely unacceptable.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Upon receiving your review management looked into your transaction, immediately. As you can see based on past reviews, we are 100% pro-consumer. We were not sure which property this could be about as we did not have any purchase loans that were delayed by our company. We wanted to thank you for discussing the particulars with our company directly, so we could dig into the details. We were able to verify the lender for your transaction was Mr. Duval from GHI Mortgage. We also verified that one of our agents was representing the buyer on the purchase of your property. We are happy to hear you successfully closed your transaction. Congratulations!

If you are buying a house, Eric is the guy you need to talk too about the loan. I did a cash out refi and a jumbo loan with Finest City Homes. Between Jill and Eric they have you covered!
I reside in the Bay Area, and the housing market here is crazy with almost unobtainable loan Contingencies in regards to closing times. I am not going lie I shopped around with all those loan company's who spend millions on TV ads and what not. Please don't make my mistake and waste your time on them and their call centers and scripted BS!!
I was referred to Eric by a trusted source who has done several loans through him. Thank God!
I was very Skeptical at first when he told me he could close us in less than 20 days, here we are 10 days later closing our loan.
I was able to do everything online, over phone and text message. (Minus the paper signing)
If you need a loan and a crazy low interest rate and need to make a less than 20 day close, Eric is your guy!Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 0 - Cassandra J.San Diego, CA031Mar 24, 2020
Eric Vaca and the Finest City Homes and Loans team helped me and my husband purchase and finance our first home. Eric has a unique ability to make complicated real estate items simple. He walked us through every step of the home buying and financing process to ensure we were prepared to make an offer when the right home came on the market. Sure enough, a few months after working with Eric our dream home was listed and Eric didn't skip a beat. He contacted the real estate agent and paved the way for what was an amazing home buying experience. In fact, the process was so smooth that we ended up becoming good friends with the couple who sold us the home. This is owed largely to Eric's ability to bring a personal touch to real estate.
I would highly recommend Eric Vaca and Finest City Homes and Loans to anyone and everyone looking for a trustworthy and professional real estate agent and mortgage broker!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Joshua B.University City, San Diego, CA75146Feb 19, 2021
Working with Eric was a great experience. We interviewed a few lenders/brokers and chose Eric because he took the time to explain the complex home buying process in simple terms for my wife and me to understand. We felt we were in good hands. Not only was he great at explaining and answering questions, he went out of his way to call the seller's real estate agent to put in a good word for us AND helped us close a week earlier than expected. My wife and I were very lucky to have found Eric. Highly recommend and hope to work with him again in the future.

Evan and his team were great to work with! They communicated well and tried every which way to ensure that we got the best loan. It was a bit cumbersome with owning our own business and changing careers recently but they were always there to answer our questions and the team was able to get it done!

If you are first time home buyer as I [we] were, Eric and Frank superseded our expectations! Fast communication, via text, emails or calls! Eric and his team were on top of it! Weekends; odd ours they was always an answer!
Clear in what they proposed, explained everything! We met every deadline! I know we are blessed to have had Eric and Frank and their team working for us! Highly recommend them to all my friends and family! Thank you Frank & Eric! We could not be happier in our home with our low APR!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Lida N.San Diego, CA04212Mar 31, 2021
I selfishly don't even want to share this secret, but my belief in giving credit when credit is due, is stronger than greed! Real estate Broker, Evan Tando, is one of San Diego's best gems! He gracefully accomplishes so much, with excelling knowledge in the mortgage industry. He provides superb customer service, with his reliability, trustworthiness and patience! I searched for two years for someone with these qualifications and was blessed to have been referred to him. I have been more than impressed and grateful to have him assist me with my first home purchase; and look forward to working with him soon on my next purchase!
