“I continually recommend Gary Matsumoto,
Loan Officer at South Bay Equity Lending to my valued clients. I truly appreciate his expertise and ability to work with more than one lender to help my clients achieve their goals. When referring my clients to a mortgage partner, my criteria is that my clients receive excellent customer service, that they get the most cost-effective deal possible, and that they come back to me with raving fan reviews. Gary Matsumoto and his team always exceed my expectations. Gary truly goes above and beyond to get the job done because he is 100% invested in each and every transaction that he handles. Gary’s mortgage expertise, ability and commitment to serve his clientele make him unique in the industry and invaluable.

“Gary Matsumoto is my GO TO DUDE for all things loan related for my clients. He has pulled so many rabbits out of the hat for my clients, I could start a bunny farm! I have seen the lengths Gary will go to to get the job done and I continue to be impressed. So many lender partners have fallen short of the mark on reaching out right away, following up; especially when it’s a long time nurture.” That to me shows his commitment to serve. He’s not just trying to grab low hanging fruit. He gets that folks need to do things in the time frame that is right for them. Every client I have referred tells me how grateful they are for him. Basically, he makes me look good!”

“Working with John was a truly wonderful experience! We first met John at an open house. He really took the time to talk to us about our financial goals, the intricacies of the types of loans, and how to logistically navigate our mortgage options when both buying and selling in a competitive California market.

John’s immense knowledge of mortgage financing was apparent — and he always took the time to educate us on what all of our options were, and gave us the time and space to decide what was best for us. We really appreciate his guidance and because of it, we were able to sell our home and buy the home of our dreams!”

“Aileen is an intelligent mortgage consultant who provides excellent services! In addition to providing outstanding customer service, Aileen always responds to my questions quickly and explains concepts to help me understand what is going on during the mortgage process. It tends to be her niche. Aileen is always looking out for her borrowers and ensures that her borrowers are not left in the dark and that they feel comfortable with the process. Moreover, Aileen has a lot of experience with numerous borrowers and I like how she listens to her clients and researches the best rates for them. For example, when I first met Aileen, she helped me navigate different strategies to obtain loans that I did not think I could qualify for. However, Aileen always communicated with me and went above and beyond to find stellar rates. Moreover, she continuously helped me find even better rates even though I thought that the deal could not get better. That goes to show that Aileen is always researching and assisting her borrowers because she cares about her borrowers and wants them to succeed. Furthermore, Aileen is very responsive and organized, which makes it really easy to work with her. As a result, I was able to close escrow with all of my conditions met, lower interest rates, and at a lower purchase price than I had originally expected. Working with Aileen has been a pleasure. She is polite, welcoming, and treats you like family. I highly recommend Aileen to be your mortgage consultant. Aileen will definitely help you step by step to navigate through the mortgage process, research superb rates, and find ways to reduce closing costs to get you the best deal.”
