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.
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!
