Just did a Heloc with cake mortgage a month ago I know my payment is due this month which is me. I haven't received any physical bill. I'm calling them. No answer. It goes straight to voicemail. I left a message for them. No call back.
My refinance with Millennial was very competitive and the staff was awesome! Hayk and Christine truly worked as a team to get me the loan I wanted and at the rate I needed. They were so responsive and even made some last minute accommodations I requested while keeping things on track and on time. I have done quite a number of refinances over the years and I have to say this was just about the best experience I have ever had. I highly recommend the Millennial team.
Millennial Home Lending was hands down the most professional company I have ever had the pleasure of working with for a refinance. Right from the beginning, my loan officer, Chris, was very upfront and honest about the rates I would qualify for and he delivered as promised. I was actually in the process of refinancing with another group, and I ended up cancelling because they could not even come close to what Millennial was able to offer me. I then worked with the loan processor, Christin, who was in consta
DO NOT WORK WITH CAKE MORTGAGE! Cake issued a clear to close and closing docs 3 days from my closing. Then, the underwriter called back several of the approved documents from my loan, stating that he "cleared them to keep the file moving and that they are actually not approved / cleared at this point in time". He then sent over a totally new set of requests that pushed our transaction OUT OF CONTRACT, eventually leading to the loss of my earnest money deposit. My broker and I were shocked ??this is far fro
I received a mailer from Millennial Home Lending and after speaking with Shawn I found that I could reduce my interest rate and payment. I was in total disbelief as I had been watching rates and none of my go to lenders could even come close to what Millennial Home Lending offered. I worked with Aryan and was very impressed with his ability to handle all of the details. Very good company and a very good experience. I've done this a few times in my life and this was extremely simple. It almost feels too
What a breath of fresh air after dealing with Quicken Loans last year. All the agents were professional, friendly, efficient. You never felt pressure to enter into their loan agreement. I had their direct phone line/email if needed, and all steps in the loan process were great. I have recommended Millennial to several friends who have already gotten great rate offers beating the competitors. Thank you for the great service.
We just finished refinancing our home mortgage through Millennial Home Lending. I have to say, it was the easiest process I have ever experienced. From the very beginning Alvin as our loan officer was courteous, professional, and quick to respond to my questions. We also worked with Laura Ker, our loan processor, who was also fantastic in walking us through the steps of our refinance. It really was a breeze with Laura guiding us every step of the way. We closed in less than a month. I'm very impressed
I have worked with many mortgage and lending companies, working with Millennial Home Lending was the easiest and fastest transaction I've ever done. Loan Officers, Daniel and Christin, were amazing. They worked super fast, were super responsive to emails and clearly communicated everything. The gentleman that helped us in the beginning, Arshage was amazing as well, he was super friendly, very responsive and clearly explained everything every step of the way. This is a first rate company with first rate empl
Millennial Review? I had the best experience refinancing my mortgage with Millennial Home Lending, Inc. Chris Minassian the Sr. Loan Officer was great to work with and was able to answer all of my questions and help me through all of my concern. Sharon Neely was my Sr. Loan Processor and was equally great working with me to compile all of the necessary files needed to push the loan through. I was super impressed, they were able finalize everything for me in under 25 days. I recommend Millennial Home Lend
We just refinanced with Millennial. I was skeptical, but it was great. The entire process with Millennial Home Lending was fantastic. Started off with Andrew who was incredibly upfront and then finished the process with Chanel. She was incredible. Chanel was always there to answer my questions and was there to answer any questions. I would recommend them without a doubt!
The entire refinancing process could not have gone better than it did with Millennial Home Lending. Chris quickly got our loan application and supporting documents in the system to help us lock in a tremendous rate for a loan that met our needs. Skylar then took care of the follow-up details to ensure the rest of the process went smoothly and quickly. The entire team was attentive to our questions and very professional. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to refinance!
Highly competitive rate package (if you put in the work, they'll work for you, too!) - with excellent customer service to match! I got connected with Millennial through a flyer received in the mail. I was already midway through the refi process, having narrowed spoken with perhaps a dozen lenders/brokers and receiving Loan Estimates from three with the best rates. The flyer suggested pretty competitive rates so I wanted to see if the reality matched the ad - and they certainly did, beating my prior best ra
I received a flyer in the mail and wasn't even thinking about refinancing, but the interest rate advertised was half my original rate. I know this could be a ploy just to have me call, so I looked up reviews to see if they were legit and decided to make the call and just see what they could offer. I also decided that as soon as they said it would cost me even $1, I'm out. I spoke with Michael Azimian and from the start, he asked what I was looking for, I said lower interest rate and lower monthly payment. H
I worked over the phone with a representative named Ross Harsh while trying to get my home refinanced and he was easily one of the best representatives I have ever worked with. He showed a very professional attitude and did everything he could to get me the best rate possible. I'm very new to refinancing and Ross was fantastic at making things understandable and easy for me. I couldn't recommend him enough and I feel that you would be hard-pressed to find someone that will provide you with a better experien
I had a great experience refinancing my loan through Millennial much in part to the excellent service provided by the Loan Officer, Alvin and the Loan Processor, Laura. Alvin got the process off to a great start, pivoting quickly and providing options when I changed my mind on the loan amount, ensuring I didn't lose the best rate. And Laura did a great job guiding me through the process and cleared road blocks like a champ. Despite some hold ups on my end with getting her what she needed, she worked dilige
I would like to Thank Sean and Sharon for the excellent work they both did helping with our refinance. We received a letter with a great interest rate form Millennial, and I usually would not have responded. Before I decided to move forward I checked their reviews on Google which were very good. I called and spoke to Sean, and he walked us through the process. He took the time to thoroughly explain the quick and easy refinance procedure with Millennial. He then passed the baton to Sharon who ran the last l
My husband and I just signed the paperwork last night in a remortgage of our home. We went through this company and our very happy and impressed by how quickly and efficiently it was handled. The loan officer Josh Baker started the process and was very good at keeping our confidence in this company by keeping in contact and conversations on how it would proceed. Then Armen took over for the detailed paperwork and working with the underwriters. He was excellent in making sure we had all of the needed m
My refinance experience with Aryan and Shawn was fantastic. Very efficient, easy, smooth and fast. I was constantly in the loop of things and updated on every step, which I highly appreciate. Exceptional service. I am very pleased and will recommend these guys to everyone who's looking to refinance and get good rates, a fast and efficient process with outstanding service.
I'm very happy with how quick and smooth the refinance process went. Joshua Kelman and Laura Ker were very helpful and always available whenever I try to reach out to ask some questions. It's all straightforward and was an easy transaction. Very trustworthy even if I haven't met them in person. It was a pleasure working with them both. I'm glad I went with Cake Mortgage for our refinance. We got a great rate.
Awesome rate! So easy to work with! Fast process! And Andrea and Sharon were the best part! They were very communicative, helpful, and made the entire experience delightful. I've shared their names with many people because I trust that they'd provide an excellent experience for anyone looking to refinance.
My team, Chris, Aryan and Sharon made this refinancing process as seamless and stress free as can possibly be. The were very professional, they knew their stuff! They were very communicative,; you always spoke to a live person who made every effort to understand your needs. We were self employed and they had no problem taking on our loan. Process was as quick as can be and we closed without any problems. Would recommend them to everyone!!!
My experience was nothing short of amazing, smooth and EASY process. Most people roll there eyes when they hear "refinancing" and how its a long drawn out process not with these guys, everything was straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush. Whole process took about a month. I dealt with Matt and Skylar, both were great to deal with! Skylar was laid back, yet professional in the way he conducted himself and very patient with me throughout the whole process as I had to send him a lot of
I had a great experience working with Ross Harsh at Cake Mortgage. He was extremely helpful and willing to walk through all the different options with me multiple times. When there was a change to my loan due to issues in underwriting he provided me with options on how to move forward. I made a decision, but by the time I received the revised loan estimate I was having second thoughts. I called Ross and left a message about my concerns. He promptly returned my call and walked me through all the options
We utilized Cake Mortgage to recently refinance our home. We were nervous to say the least about working with a company that was outside of our home state. The process ended up being truly flawless. From start to finish, the whole process took less than three weeks. The amount of time needed from us, the homeowners, was minimal. Cake Mortgage basically did it all. They were very good with providing updates along the way. Syed was amazing. He always took my calls promptly and always followed up on questions
I was able to get a great deal by refinancing with Millennial Home Lending. Their staff was very informed and answered patiently all my questions. The refinancing process went incredibly smooth and in a very short time. Syed was a great I'm helping me with the paperwork, locking in an awesome interest rate, and getting a fantastic loan during these hard times. I would recommend Millennial Home Loan to my friends and family. If you are looking to refinance, I would give them a call!
Before going with Millennial I checked the reviews and it seemed everyone was happy with them, they offered a rate no one could match so was pretty excited. I locked in with a 3.125% and followed through with the rest of the needed paperwork. Things were smooth, my house was appraised, everything just seemed like it was moving right along until I got a call that my loan didn't pass the QM process and that my "guaranteed" rate of 3.125% would change to 3.49%. I'm skeptical they couldn't have verified this
Great rates and great support to customize your loan according to your budget. The team was very aggressive to ensure the timelines were met so the client got the negotiated terms and conditions. The process was painless and pretty standard. I worked with Andre and Sharron who were both very professional and helpful. I would recommend Millennial Home Lending......
Millennial Home Lending is so professional and I had a great experience with my refinance. Laura and Shaun were really helpful, professional and patient. They answered all my questions and responded to emails really quick. I'd like to thank you for all you have done for me. Great experience and I'll recommend you to all my friends and family.
Millenial Home Lending helped us with our Home Refinance and we had a great experience. Chris was super helpful from the very start, and went the extra mile to help us lock in our rate even though it was approaching 5pm on a Friday. Aryan took it from there and made sure the whole process was quick and he answered any and all questions that I had. He followed up often even when I would lag on responses. So glad to have come across MHL!
My wife and I received a mailer to refinance from Millennial Home Lending in late November / early December. We decided to call because of how low rates were. We worked with Andre and Sharon, and both of them were exceptional. They were fast, friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. We were able to refinance our house in less than a month, save tons of money each month with a lower rate as well as lower PMI and the closing documents came to us to be signed! I highly recommend this company and especially Andre
My experience with Millennial Home Lending could not be more positive. It had to be the easiest, quickest and best refinance I have ever had. I closed in 3 weeks and there were no surprises. Azad was my loan officer and was always available when I had questions and was so great to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend Millennial Home Lending to anyone. We are 100 percent satisfied.
I had a great experience working with Millennial. We worked with Brandon and Aryan they helped us through every step of the way and made our entire process smooth and they both are easy to work with and very professional. Super fast and efficient from initial inquiry to closing would defined recommend to anyone looking to purchase a new home.
Our experience was amazing. We First started with Andrew who was very patient and detailed. He was able to provide us with a very competitive rate for our refinancing with no hidden fees. Artin our underwriter was great and worked tirelessly to ensure that our loan was closed and funded under 3 weeks. The holiday season did not slow him down a bit. We are truly impressed and grateful for all their hard work. My wife and I will definitely recommend them.
One happy customer both Andrew and Samson were great with my refinance and was able to get a great rate. I was initially going with loan depot but they took over 3 months to close and Andrew was able to get me lower rate and close within two weeks. Definitely reach out to the team at Millennial if you are looking to refi. Cheers guys!
It was really easy to refinance with cake! I was able to do everything online, signing legal documents and such. And the notary came to my house For the final paperwork to be signed , very convenient. And they were all very professional.! And it was a pleasure talking and dealing with them. Plus they got me the best rate out there. I talked to a few other companies and they were the best.
I recently had some updates done at my home and it made me consider updating everything at once. I received a post card in the mail about refinancing. I made a call at first just to inquire however after talking with someone and hearing how everything would be handled for me I went ahead with the loan. My processor Syed Ibrahim was very friendly and always available for questions and letting me know what stage in my process I was. He followed me and updated me until the money was in my account and gave me a
I worked with Michael (Sr. Loan Officer) and Albert (Loan Processor). Michael was my guy from beginning to end. He explained things in great detail and made me feel comfortable with the process. I initiated my loan 3/13 and it closed on 4/9. This was incredible. It was a very smooth process. You have to do your part too and get your required documents together and sent over to them in a timely manner. Michael and Albert kept me in the loop the whole way. They answered all my questions. The portal was nice a
It was a great pleasure working with Millennial Home Lending. From the very beginning Brandon as our loan officer was courteous polite and quick in responding to my questions. I also worked with Laura Ker my loan processor who was amazing professional and polite in walking me through the closing process . It was really a breeze with Laura guiding me in each step and updating me on the paperwork. They made the whole process seem so simple. I would highly recommend Millennial Lending and once again 5 stars t
Millennial Home Lending is a great company! I refinanced through them and the process was super quick and easy. It was very comfortable working Azad and William as they kept me informed throughout the whole process. I rarely had any additional questions after talking with them.
I was so impressed with how the company handled my complicated situation. Moved to another state and was not on title - so there were lots of moving parts to my refinance. The loan officer Josh did a great job of quickly getting me qualified and locking in a good rate, as well as tracking my progress and intervening on my behalf whenever needed! As well, even though a had a couple of loan processors along the way, the best and most persistent was the last, his name was Sam. He did an amazing job at working
I would like to give a big thanks to Laura Ker and Andre Yerkanyan. It was a very easy and pleasant experience dealing with the team at Millennial Home Lending. Communication was exceptional and They always kept me in the loop with every change. Laura made this process very streamline for us. I was very busy during my refinance and she made it very easy for me to deal with. Also Andre was very prompt with finding us a great rate and was able to beat two other offers I had. I would highly recommend Laura and
I had a great experience refinancing with Millennial. Garvin and Chanel were both easy to work with and very professional. Super fast and efficient process. From initial inquiry to closing took just two weeks! I would recommend to anyone looking to refinance.
Just completed a mortgage refinance with Millennial Home Lending - really impressed with the excellence of their work and customer service. I've done 4-5 refinances in the past 30+ years and Alvin, my loan officer, and Aryan, my loan processor, were great to work with and experts in their field. All the way through closing, they delivered what they promised and then some.
Had an excellent experience working with Michael Azimian, Zildjian Cecilio, and the rest of the Millennial Home Lending team to quickly get my refinance processed. We hit a snag towards the end of the rate lock that might have pushed back the closing date, but Zildjian was able to push forward when it came down to crunch time and get the necessary adjustments needed for the loan to close on time. Would highly recommend choosing this excellent team not only for their low rates, but also the excellent custome
I was extremely pleased with my services that I received with Millennial Home Lending .. Chris Minassian the gentleman that processed my application was very helpful; straight forward and very accurate letting me know step by step of what to expect to the end of the process. Laura Ker my loan officer was very diligent, quick , hands on and very pleasant to work with. Laura is very intelligent and knows what she is doing and made the process go by so fast. Once all the papers were signed and in place , it
What a fantastic and fast experience! Everything from the first phone call with Chris M, through signing closing documents was quick, professional, and easy. My processor Azad was communicative and responsive to my calls and emails making the process extremely simple for my wife and I. We were application to money in the bank in about THREE WEEKS or so. I would highly recommend this company for your mortgaging needs. Everything about the process with Millennial was smooth and easy. THANKS!
I recommend Millennial Home Lending. We recently completed a refinance of our home and it went well. Michael, Aryan and Jash were always helpful and returned my calls and e-mails promptly. We are very pleased with the interest rate that we received! Even though the process seemed to take a long time, I was thankful for the quick responses and guidance from the kind people of Millennial Home Lending. Thank you!
Thank you Michael and Artin! They handled my refinance and did such a wonderful job. They were so patient, answered all of my questions and made this process stress free. This was my first re finance and I am so happy I went to millennium home lending. Everything was transparent, they kept me informed every step of the way and their customer service was excellent. I highly recommend this company!
I have done several closings and mortgage refinance in my life and I have to say that working with Daniel and Laura with MHL has been the BEST experience I have ever had! Their level of professionalism, friendliness and their "we can get it done" attitude its simply OUTSTANDING! Where other lenders told me that they could not help me... Daniel and Laura said "Oh yes, we can"! And even further, the rate they gave me was the most competitive one across 5 different lenders! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Millennial Hom
I refinanced with Millennial Home Lending and it was the smoothest experience ever. Their rates and loan fees beat out all other competitors. Haik and Kimberly were great to work with. They were very responsive and always answered all of my questions while explaining all aspects of refinancing whenever I was confused. They were always on top of everything and managed to close on our refinance in two weeks! I would recommend Millennial Home Lending to anyone and highly recommend working with Haik and Kimbe
My wife and I were very happy and impressed with the way Millennial processed and handled our refinancing. In particular, our processor, Kim Mayo, was responsive, knowledgeable, friendly, and on top of everything. We had some challenges with our loan, but Kim was able to get it done with her diligence and hard work. We would recommend her without hesitation.
Really easy process. I received a refinance offer letter in the mail and was skeptical, but millenium is legit. Michael did a fantastic job talking me through everything, and found me a lower interest rate. Sharon was great following up with documents & deadlines. They closed the refinancing in just a few weeks. I am very satisfied customer!
Dealing with Millennial Home Lending has been a great experience. When our lending representative had to take leave on a family emergency, we were immediately assigned another assistance to complete the lending process. After shopping around, Millennial had the best rates of all the other companies. And the process time was only 3 weeks!! Great job Millennial!
My refinance with Millennial was great. I enjoyed working with loan officer Chris and Aryan, they are true professional. They answered the question clearly and promptly. The whole process is smooth, clean, and simple. I highly recommend the Millennial team.
Our refinancing experience with Cake Mortgage was smooth and efficient. Chris Minassian and Laura Ker were both highly knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. They were attentive to our questions and followed up immediately to address the questions we had during the process. We could not be more pleased and highly recommend their services.
Best refinance experience I've ever had! William and Chanel were able to move the process along very efficiently. They provided clear information, were available as needed, communicated frequently, and made the process on my end simple and easy. Highly recommend.
I refinanced my place through Millennial. The whole process was went very smooth and quick. They are very polite, professional, helpful and considerate of the time they contacted me. Everything was done through phone. I had a pleasure working with Joshua K. And Artin N. Very impressed by these two wonderful people. My special thanks to both of them and Millennial for their service.
I was originally planning to get a home equity loan with my local credit union, but while I was waiting to hear back I started shopping around for rates and came across Cake Mortgage. Their ridiculously low rate for a 15-year cash out refinance was worth changing my plans for. I was a little hesitant and "politely paranoid" at first, but after getting some chuckles from the clever branding on their website, learning about their history, researching their NMLS, reading their reviews, and checking out their B
I had a great experience with Millennial Home Lending to refinance my house. Both loan officer (Tony T.) and loan processor (Armen Z.) from Millennial Home Lending were every professional, knowledgeable and patient. They listed to what I needed and then responded and took care of my needs. They were responsive. Sometimes they made me felt like I was the only one customer they were helping. We were able to work together efficiently. It's their management's fortune to have those employees in the team. On the
I was happy with the refinance process from start to finish, including the rate. Worked with two people throughout who were knowledgeable and responses were quick. However after we refinanced and I had questions about the timing of the paperwork arriving to ensure we'd make our payment on time, no response after two attempts. If goal is to create lasting relationships, would be nice to have a follow up after you have our loan commitment.
Millennial Home Lending provided an exceptional refinancing experience. All expectations set by Andre up front were met, including the interest rate, time frames and monthly payments. No delays were experienced. Andre and Aryan quickly responded to any questions I had by phone and/or email...weekends didn't stop them. Efficient document processing electronically, clear communications of exactly what is needed and when, closed on the exact date and time I requested. I inquired about refinancing with my
Worked with Zildgian (processor) and William over the last couple of months. I contested my appraisal which did no good which added three weeks to the closing process. Did not like the local appraiser which is no fault of Millennial Home Lending. Outstanding service and quick responses from both Gentlemen at Millennial. I HIGHLY recommend this company. Quick..easy...and saved me money in the long run. 2.75% final. Very happy.
Our mortgage refinance experience with Millennial couldn't have gone more smoothly from start to finish. The entire process was completed in less than a month and they kept every promise they made. Patric Amar was amazingly responsive and made everything easy.
Loan process went very smooth. Chris and Sharon with Millennial Home Lending were very easy to work with. I think the only hiccup was we were to have 2 months of no new payment and docs were drawn with only 1 month payment and rate was to expire so nothing could be done. So all in all good company to complete any of your loan needs with.
Applying for a loan is always a bit overwhelming, but I found this not to be the case for me this time. In working with Kimberly and Lorraine I found it to be a great experience. They walked me through the process, guiding me so that I felt informed and supported every minute of the way. If they said they'd call me , they did. They were kind and some of the nicest people I've ever met. I can't begin to say how much that meant to me. I felt I had people in my corner assisting me in every way. I would recomme
I had a mixed experience with Cake mortgage when refinancing my home. The lender was responsive but the processor was not. She was slow and would never be reachable for an update, but expected you to answer at the drop of a hat. At some point I had to get the lender involved to get her to call me, because she wouldn't pick up the phone. I had locked in the rate right before the interest rates started rising, and by the time I was ready to process the interests rates were double. They had increased the closi
Millennial Lending made my re-financing of my mortgage so easy. They were always available and would even respond to text messages. With my busy schedule it help so much that I could send a question in a text at 8 p.m. and get a response pretty quickly. Their interest rate was much better than Chase and reduced my monthly payment drastically. I would highly recommend my Loan Processor, Artin Nazarian. He was very helpful and took the time to explain the process and the factors that impacted my mortgage
These guys have given me the best customer service experience I have ever had. Matthew *walked me* through the entire application process for 90 minutes on the phone, answering every question I had along the way. They handled every question or documentation request from the funders and mitigated it with me. My refinance funded in less than 3 weeks from the time I first spoke to them. It was awesome. 10/10 Would work with again. I have already recommended them to three other people.
Millennial Lending has been excellent to work with in refinancing my home. The process is segmented in such a way that you work with an expert at each level of the process. I would use Millennial Lending again and I would refer my friends to this company. I properly vetted the company and that came out excellent as well. They offered me the best rate and walked me through the process to successfully save me a nice sum of money over the life of my new loan!
The team, Jason and Joshua, at MHL/Cake guided us through our mortgage refinancing and did a fantastic job! From their proactive approach to their rapid response when needed, this was by far the simplest and smoothest process we have ever experienced! The reviews I read about them gave us the confidence to work with them / their company and as we found out, the reviews were spot on ... We highly recommend them!
Our Refi start to finish was an amazingly short 2 weeks. Mo walked me through the process so I fully understood my options and Chanel made sure all the details were covered and drove it through for success. Both are bright happy people who made us feel comfortable and it was a joy to do business with them!
Millennial Home Lending is the way to go for a refinance! We got an amazing rate and the entire process took very little time. Joshua spent a lot of time with me answering all my questions and helping me understand the ins and outs. Erick kept me informed of our progress from start to finish. Great customer service all around! We couldn't be happier!
Just completed home refinancing process with Millennial. Many thanks to Ross Harsh (my loan officer) and Patric Amar (my loan processor) for their prompt and exceptional communication, service and support! The company's online document upload and signing system was user friendly. I was highly impressed (easiest refi experience ever) and strongly recommend using Millennial if you are looking for personable, knowledgeable and efficient people to assist you with your home loan needs!
I had a good experience with Cake Mortgage Corp. for refencing my home. The Loan Officer Harry Arzrounian and Loan Processor Laura Ker both were really helpful and professional. I got a good rate of interest and best closing cost. They keep me posted with loan process and documentation process. i am happy with their service and recommend them for future service. I already recommended them to my brother for his refinance needs . Thank you and Good luck Mr. Harry and Ms. Laura
Hands down- best mortgage company! I was very pleased with this team and their commitment to service. From start to finish, they were on point and up front. I was never left in dark, or wondering what to do next. The documentation delivery and execution was exceptionally efficient. I worked with Haik and Sharon- they were knowledgeable, helpful, efficient and highly professional. Every situation is unique and I always felt like their only client. Great people, great team. If in the market- call them.
This was the best experience I've ever had with a finance company. Our loan officer, Syed Ibrahim should be awarded for the overall expertise by which he handled our refinance. Syed was extremely knowledgeable , professional and courteous. The process was quick and the transition was seamless. I have already recommended two close friends and a family member to call Cake Mortgage because i am so pleased and confident they can handle their needs. Thank you Syed and Cake Mortgage.
I just completed a refinance with Millennial Home Lending. The whole thing went very smoothly. I worked with Artin N. through the process. He was very communicative, took time to answer my questions, and smoothed out a few wrinkles that were caused my by unusual work and travel schedule. I got a great interest rate. They were very up front about what the refinance costs would be and there were no hidden fees. I would definitely recommend Millennial Home Lending and Artin to anyone looking to refinance
So this was my first time working with Millennial Home Lending and refinancing a home. Zildjian Cecilio and Andrew Arakelian worked new loan and refinance and made sure I was happy and fully educated on the process. They made this transfer easy and stress free. These two amazing people is what customer service is all about. I'm glad I worked with them and Millennial Home Lending!
As our first mortgage payment grows closer post refinancing with Millennial Home Lending, we want to give a special shout out to Sr. Officer Michael Azimian for a great and smooth process. His staff including Armen Zadoorian took great care of us professionally and was very helpful. He made sure we were updated with everything we needed to know upon our closing. It literally took about 2 weeks! We are very thankful for everything they have done for us!
David and Laura were very easy to work with. I had questions about the paperwork I was signing and some of the numbers. David and Laura both spent the time with me I needed to understand what I was looking at. David got me a great interest rate, told me exactly what I needed to send him and made it easy for me to get it to him. Laura followed up with me at every step the way. The refinancing process was smooth and painless. Thank you both for such a positive experience.
