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.
I recently completed a cash-out refinance through South Bay Equity and Dave Weitzel and I can't say enough great things about the experience. From start to finish, they closed my loan in just two weeks — which, in today's lending environment, is nothing short of remarkable.
What really set them apart was their communication. Dave kept me in the loop every step of the way — no chasing anyone down, no wondering where things stood. The process was incredibly streamlined, and the team clearly knows how to execute. Everything moved efficiently without feeling rushed or chaotic.
As someone who works in commercial real estate finance myself, I have high expectations when it comes to lenders. South Bay Equity exceeded them. They were professional, responsive, and made a process that can often be stressful feel completely manageable.
If you're looking to refinance or pull equity out of your home and want a lender who actually delivers on what they promise — look no further. Dave Weitzel and South Bay Equity gets my highest recommendation.

Chris Turkmany makes the complex world of home financing feel simple and easy. Chris kept us informed every step of the process. He is incredibly thorough without being overwhelming. As a borrower, it is routine to feel like just another number, but not with Chris. He ensures that all details are carefully communicated and tended to, answering every question and offering genuine guidance. Chris even took the time to attend our closing on the afternoon of New Year's Eve to make sure we met deadlines that were beneficial to our loan! Chris is a consummate professional who brings integrity and heart to all aspects of his work. We can't recommend him and the South Bay Equity Team enough!
Gary Matsumoto was so incredibly helpful! He took wonderful care of us throughout the entire process. He brought extensive knowledge at every step of the process, was willing to pivot when unexpected circumstances arose, and guided us to make the best decision for ourselves. I would recommend Gary and South Bay Equity Lending to anyone!
Chris was amazing at helping us secure our loan for an investment property. He was so communicative and made us feel like we could call him ANY time. When we hit road blocks he found us solutions. We could not have purchased our property without him. We highly recommend Chris!
Gary is a consummate professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. He guided us through a somewhat challenging escrow with expertise, clear communication, and a calm, solutions-oriented approach.
Having a strong lender on your side makes all the difference when navigating tricky situations, and Gary truly delivers. I highly recommend him for all your lending needs.

Caleb Petersen has been an incredible breath of fresh air in the world of mortgage brokers. He has always gone above and beyond for any clients I have sent his way and is always doing what’s in the best interest of the client. I couldn’t recommend him enough
