I only wish I had called South Bay Equity Lending first. My family was desperate for help to cover my 93‑year‑old mother’s medical bills, and every day felt like a race against time. A previous lender promised a HELOC at the Veterans rate, so we pursued it, but after four months of paperwork and financial disclosures for my mom, my brother and I, his business, and my business, that option was declined.
When I reached out to Matt Hadnett, Dave Weitzell, and Andy Elliott, everything changed. They triple‑teamed our loan, moved with urgency and compassion, and got everything completed and funded in just two months. My mom is still in and out of the hospital, but because of their hard work we finally have the funds to cover her care. I am profoundly grateful to South Bay Equity Lending for treating our family with respect, empathy, and real efficiency. If you need a lender who cares and delivers, call them first.

Trust is the most important issue with acquiring a loan South Bay and all the employees made sure that 8 years ago my loan was the best rates very professionally done So when my son was buying a house I insisted he go to Matt and Andy andSouth Bay They were kind and efficient Thanks again
Working with David Weitzel at South Bay Equity Lending was an absolute breeze from start to finish. Securing a loan can usually be an incredibly stressful process, but Dave’s exceptional communication, transparency, and deep knowledge completely set our minds at ease. He didn’t just treat us like a transaction; he genuinely cared about our homeownership goals and kept us informed every step of the way. If you want a loan officer who is dedicated, highly professional, and always has your back, look no further than Dave!
Worked with Dave Weitzel who was highly recommended and I learned why. We walked in thinking this was a simple equity loan but turned out to be a bit tougher than we expected. There were 3 rounds of conditions that we had to meet and Dave was on it and helped us get through all of it. It was longer than we expected but there were special circumstances that we were able to get through. And Dave and his team behind him never waivered in walking with us or leading us at times.
He and his firm were also thrown some curve balls that made it almost a loss leader for them but they still committed to us and helped us fund a major surgery for my child. So as much as we often are in the business of profit, these guys didn’t drop us and kept walking with us to close this deal and for a greater reason beyond just vacations or a new pool. We are so grateful for having met this team of good people and only know karma pays back sevenfold.

Chris Turkmany, as been absolutely amazing! He completed a more complicated refi and made everything work. He has a great collaborative ability and is very responsive and good at setting expectations. Highly recommend him for any of your loan needs.
Thank you Chris!!

I got a loan from them last year and they were very helpful when I had questions. I had to refinance and wanted to change lenders and everything was quick and smooth. I ended up with a better lender. Matt is friendly and funny so you feel relaxed dealing with him and the company. Being a Dodgers fan and an animal lover was a plus.
I recently purchased a non-warrantable condo, which, if you've experienced this, you know how challenging getting a loan for it can be. I was referred to South Bay Equity Lending who jumped in right away. I worked closely with Dave Weitzel, who explained everything clearly, led me through every step of the process, and was even a step ahead of the process (so I had the right documentation prepared before being needed). This made things go as smooth as could be, and I was able to close this complicated escrow in 30 days! I would highly recommend this group to anyone needing a loan!
South Bay Equity Lending was efficient and effective to manage my loan and provided sound advice and service. Matt Hadnett and Andy Elliott were available to explain any concerns I had and provide fast responses as issues arose. Despite being outside of the US for the entire transaction no issues arose they could not manage. I highly recommend Matt and his team.
Todd was friendly, knowledgeable and easy to work with.
