“The house we found was an imaginative property, a distressed old hillside beauty. Working with the big banks was like tramping through mud. They were unwieldy and downright cranky about the condition of the old property, which was, of course, what made it such a genius investment. We needed to find a company that would simultaneously embrace our vision while helping us navigate the finicky waters of underwriting. Matt and Andy stayed upbeat even when things looked bleak and in the end we laughed, literally, all the way to the bank. They helped us pull off a very tricky refinance on another investment and now our portfolio is growing geometrically. Thanks guys, you mastered an elegant and unexpected solution to our investment goals.”

“After using South Bay Equity to purchase our home in 2013, we did not hesitate to reach out to them to refinance this past year. They gave us daily updates on the loan process, were easy to communicate with, and got us a great interest rate with a much lower monthly payment. Should any financing situation arise in the future, SBEL will be first on our list to call. We’d recommend them to anyone!”

“What a great job. We are writing to thank you for all your help and to specially acknowledge a job well done. I have been in the lending business for thirty years and have seen the good and the bad. You guys are the best. We pre-screened our loan with you through Chris Turkmany, who was great. Once we found our home, we submitted the application to you. We were not sure what to expect in this day of post 2008 financial collapse. As with all deals, we had a story. You guys did a great job in sharing that story and getting us what we still believe was the best deal possible. We hit a small bump at the beginning, but you guys rallied and showed us what a well managed and professional operation can do for their client. There was some hand holding and walking us through the details. All communication was done quickly and expeditiously. When rates moved, you locked us in and closed the transaction exactly as you had promised. I know how rare this is in this day and age, so this was greatly appreciated. Matt, you have a great staff and they did everything we could have asked for, to get us into our new home. THANKS.”

“A big thank you to everyone at South Bay Equity Lending, especially Matt Hadnett and his team with the purchase of my first home. If there were any questions Matt and his team were quick to answer. They made the process as simple and easy as possible. Thank you to everyone for this check mark on my bucket list!”

“Everything about being a first time home owner is terrifying, but with the help of Matt and Andy, we can honestly say that buying our first house was one of the easiest things we have ever done. The pleasure was all ours working with them. Andy kept in touch with us every day, teaching us about the process, updating us on the status of the purchase, and most importantly giving us reassurance during a time that was both exciting and frightening. This made us feel at ease and not overwhelmed unlike the stories we have heard from our friends during their house buying process. The gratitude that we have for this company is inestimable. We can’t believe everything went so smoothly! We highly recommend anyone looking to purchase or refinance to go with South Bay Equity Lending. We will surely use them again in the future. Thank you South Bay Equity Lending, you all played a huge part in making our dreams come true.”
