Customer Reviews

Thank you so much, Casa Financial, for securing yet another excellent home loan for us! About ten years ago we obtained our original home loan through you. A few years later our home's value was up significantly and we refinanced for the first time through Casa Financial, obtaining nearly $40,000 cash out while reducing the interest rate to just 2.25%. This cash was used to install a solar panel system over our garage. About three years ago our home's value had increased even more so we contacted your c

After shopping around for a lender during a home purchase, Casa Financial was recommended to me by a friend. I spoke at length with Brett at Casa Financial, and it was clear to me that this was the group with whom I wanted to do business. Casa Financial made the entire loan process easy, answering any questions that would arise, and clearly explaining transactions every step of the way. On top of providing top notch service, they were able to provide me with an extremely competitive rate. They are a great b

Fantastic , professional & knowledgeable team. My questions were answered quickly & clearly. Brett was always available to speak with me when needed. Jennifer was so awesome and worked very hard on all my paperwork & returned all my many call. If you want your loan done right Casa Financial is the first phone call you should make. Thank you team Casa Financial. Terri

I originally purchased my home through Casa Financial Services and most recently have refinanced through Casa Financial Services. Each experience was exemplary. Brett Mills is thoroughly versed in Veteran's certification requirements and readily navigates through the VA System obtaining records expeditiously. I have experienced Brett and his long term staff as professional, honest and dedicated. Not once have I ever received the 'run around' or double speak from either Brett Mills or his staff. Any ques

Once again Zindi, Jennifer and Brett came through with stellar performances! We have used them for multiple refis and most recently to help our son buy a condo in Seattle. I can never say enough nice things about Casa, except to say that I would never use anyone else, ever. You guys are the best, most professional folks I have ever dealt with for real estate issues. You anticipate my questions and concerns, and keep me informed for every step of the process. I have known you for more than 15 years. I any

Casa Financial prides itself on providing customers with the best deal possible while conducting business ethically and lawfully. I have and will continue to recommend Casa Financial Services to friends and family. Thanks to

I was referred to Katrina Yalda and her team by one of my close friends.The refinancing service I received from her was exceptional and beyond what I was expecting for! From start to finish, Katrina was informative, extremely thorough and honest in guiding me through the process, and ensuring that I am getting the best deal possible. During the process, Katrina stayed on top of things and was able to get my home refinanced in less than 6 weeks. I appreciate everything she did for me and highly recommend her

Casa Financial was very professional and pleasant to work with during my refinance of my home. Brett and Zindi are very knowledgeable and follow through was great. They were able to shop many lenders to find the best loan for my situation, plus the escrow company they recommended was also professional and efficient. Thanks Casa Financial!

I want to say a big thank you to Brenda Inzunza for helping us through our first home buying experience. She did an awesome job with answering questions, and helping us to make sure we had everything we needed. Brenda made it a quick and smooth process. Thanks to the Casa Financial Service team on working with me in multiple occasions. I'll gladly keep recommending you!

I had the pleasure of working with Brett Mills and his team on the purchase of my first house, the entire staff at Casa Financial made my home buying process a breeze! I cannot thank you enough for the wealth of knowledge shared throughout this experience!

Really pleased with our experience with Brett and his team. The process was incredibly easy and went very smoothly. We were amazed at how quickly we went from application to closing. Highly recommend and we will absolutely consider Casa Financial Services for any future mortgage needs.

Working with Casa Financial Services, Inc was an amazing experience for me. All the staff were very responsive and helpful. I specifically worked with (Katrina Yalda) who was very patient and professional in dealing with my case. She answered all my questions and concerns with well knowledge and good quality answers, and was there for me whenever I needed any clarifications. I really appreciate her help and the other staff's services. I would highly recommend working with the Inc.

I just finished refinancing my mortgage through Casa Financial and they were once again amazing. I have now used them 4 different times and have consistently received outstanding service. When asked how they can improve their service I am at a loss for suggestions. Brenda Inzunza does an amazing job at watching the market and shopping for rates to ensure you get the best deal available. She watched the market for months for me and reached out the day we locked to say this is the day. Rates dropped that

I have used Casa Financial Services, Inc for many many years now and I am a repeat customer several times over. I have used Casa for new home purchases, rental property purchases, and refinances. Each time the process is great, seamless, professional, and calm. There are no crazy last minute issues and all my questions are explained and answered. Casa may not be the cheapest home loan place on earth but they are the best value that I have found. They provide full service and I have never had a problem with

My wife & I used Casa Financial Services to buy our first home. I couldn't have asked for a better team. Brenda & Jennifer went the extra mile to ensure we were taken care of, & they left no questions unanswered. We were nervous about buying, given it was our first time, but they made the whole process a breeze. Thank you Casa Financial Team! I will be giving strong recommendations to everyone I know looking to purchase a home!

I had an excellent experience with Casa Financial. I purchased my first home and Brett explained the whole process in detail. He and the other members of his staff were very responsive and answered all of my first timer questions. Great experience overall!

We had a great experience with Casa Financial Services. Zindi is the best! My husband and I highly recommend Zindi and her team. Zindi goes above and beyond for you - if I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. They were very professional, prompt, and very easy to work with. They are always available for questions and let you know exactly what is needed to get your loan to close. We will definitely use them again!!

Extremely pleased with Casa Financial Services ! Throughout the entire experience Zindi and Brett have been knowledgeable and professional and supportive. These are all qualities that you expect from a financial group that you deal with . But they went above those characteristic and treated us as if they had a personal interest in us and our needs during our refinance. Tremendously grateful for having had your expertise and service. .

I've known Brett for over 3 years now. Every time I call upon him for financing, he comes through like a freight train and gets it done! Casa Financial first financed my home in less than 1 month, since then they have lowered my mortgage rate from 3.99 down to 2.99% without a single hitch. There are many low cost financial services out there from which to chose, but if you want it done right & now - Casa Financial is one of the best.

I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to work with Brenda Inzunza. She's is very responsive, professional and prompt. The best part is she would answer any questions we had at any hour of the day and on weekends too. She made our home buying process so easy and smooth. I highly recommend Casa Financial and their team of professionals.

Zindi and Brett and the staff of Casa Financial Services were very professional and responsive to our queries. They helped us every step of the way, explaining to us the intricacies of refinancing and making sure we get the best rate in the market. As they say, "They walk the talk."

Casa Financial Services did an amazing job on my home loan. Getting a loan can be scary but they made it easy. On top of that less then a month from the start of the process to funds in my account. Great Job Casa Team!

Brett made my refinance the easiest and most stress free process I have ever gone through. He is extremely knowledgeable and was able to give us a great deal from the start! A huge thanks to Christina for making the rest of the loan process a breeze and quicker than I imagined!

Wow. I can't imagine going through this process without Jennifer's help from Casa. It was my first time buying a home and I had no idea how much was entailed. Jennifer worked so hard to find the best lender for my unique situation. I honestly didn't think I could get a loan. But she was confident - and made it happen! She was SO on top of things and always available to me. I'm massively grateful for having her on my team.

Katrina and her team were amazing from beginning - pre qualification stage - till the close of escrow and follow up thereafter. The response time was immediate and explanations for what was needed were very clear and accurate. If you're purchasing a property, I'd also recommend using her husband Mike Yalda. They work together like a symphony and you get many of your responses to the real estate transaction and the loan process in one call/communication. On the price side of it, I compared over 10 lenders (b

Thank you, Brett Mills, from Casa Financial! You did it again! You helped us buy our home 5 years ago and now you helped us secure our re-finance! In this time of COVID-19 when rates had come down it was the perfect time to save a sizeable amount of money. You found the perfect financial intuition who had the staff and was able to keep to the time line in order to keep our lock in rate. As always, your professionalism and expertise are unsurpassed, you went over and above the call of duty to assure us

This is our second time arranging for a new mortgage with Brett and Casa Financial. In both cases, Brett went to bat for us to find the best rates and to shepherd the process through several obstacles until we reached a successful conclusion. Everyone we dealt with on his staff was knowledgeable and helpful. If we ever need another loan, Brett will be our first call.

Outstanding communication! We were informed every step of the process. Covid19 and other factors have changed how business is conducted. Casa Financial is well informed and compliant with new restrictions and gently guide their clients through the process. With historically low interest rates many are rushing to refinance their mortgages. Zindi and team Casa Financial consistently communicated with us as if our refi was as important to their business as it was to us. We will continue to recommend Casa Finan

My husband and I refinanced our home loan with Zindi Mills and Casa Financial a month ago and it was such a breeze. We were shopping around for the best rate and Zindi was able to find the best one out of many options. She was very responsive and answered all my questions. We are satisfied and highly recommend Zindi and Casa Financial services 100%

I had a great experience with Casa Financial, they kept informed through the entire process, you always knew were you were at. I received calls at the end of each week, just touching base letting me know what was going on. The team was very professional, and Awesome! They did everything they promise to do.

Not only the most cost effective option in my shopping around for help with a home loan, but by far and wide the most helpful. Recommended by a friend of mine, after one talk with Brett, I knew I was dealing with the gentleman, and company, I would be putting my trust in. I am not a stupid person, but when it comes to the home buying process, I barely understood what equity meant. After talking with this team, I feel like I received a free college course on the subject, and all before making any commitment.

My husband and I were referred to Zindi by one of my co-workers, and working with her was honestly best decision we've ever made. As first time home buyers, the whole process was VERY overwhelming, even as exciting as it was. Zindi was very responsive, professional, and kind throughout the process. She kept all of her promises throughout, and made herself available at all times! Even in Valentine?s Day, which fell in a Sunday this year, she was quick to respond to my text message. To top it off, we closed E

I could not have been happier with the service I received. Quick to answer any questions, regardless of the time and ensuring our home purchase happened on time. The level of care, concern and willingness to explain everything at every step is a testament to Brett Mills and his amazing teams care for their clients. Hands down the best!

lee hoffman - Descanso, Ca. We just finished a great VA, refi, cash-out and debt consolidation loan from Brett Mills and Casa Financial. Brett is an absolute wizard when it comes to anything to do with a VA loan. He is truly an expert, knows all the options and programs - and is associated with excellent lenders and Escrow people. Brett and his crew are wonderful to work with. They seem to work 24/7/365!. Always available for phone calls, help with our confusion and our confusing documentations of our mul

Zindi & Brett Mills At Casa Financial helped source the right purchase loan for our buyers. I recommend Zindi & Brett Mills for residential and commercial financing because they smoothly and professionally got the job done on time. Without Casa Financial's knowledge and expertise we might not have closed on this home purchase.

Brett Mills and Jennifer Hollins make a strong and effective team. They have consistently worked after hours and weekends long after other lenders have closed up shop for the day. They are problem solvers, persistent, and an amazing "make it happen" team. Brett goes the extra mile to represent my clients as strong Buyers to listing agents and provides timely custom pre-approval letters for our offers. He has earned my business as the preferred lender to pre-approve Buyers. His team's responsive customer ser

I have worked with Casa Financial for last 10 years. They are the GREATEST! My clients absolutely love them for thier Honesty, thier willingness to find the best rate out there for them and the fact they are so down to earth especially for first time buyers who have a million questions!! I will always recommend Casa Financial over anyone else!!

Casa financial, is one of the best lender out here, I have been working with Zindi for over 3 years. I have close many deals with her, she is very honest and quick, and the deal goes smothly. She always gets us the best possible deal, highly recommend.

Awesome company to have on your side! I am a loyal customer from now on! Brett and his team truly go above and beyond and do not stop working to get you the best possible service and outcome! Thank you Casa Financial for another stress free experience!

As a listing agent I appreciated the prompt responses and the last min rush put in to make sure the appraisal came in by the deadline. Zindi Mills was well experienced and contributed to the smoothest transaction. If I receive another offer on a future listing with her as the buyer?s loan officer I'll definitely remember her great reputation. In this market, who you work with matters and something no buyer can afford right now is a bad loan officer. Thank you so much Zindi! Hope to work with you again.

Highly recommend Brett & his team!! He helped one of my first-time VA buyers and we couldn't have done it without him. Brett is always available to answer questions for the buyer & through his partnership & hard work, our buyer was able to get his dream home. #happyclients #newhome #firsttimehomebuyer #vahomeloan -Sarena Mezzacappa Compass Real Estate DRE#02025198

Awesome business, Brett and Jennifer helped me get financed for my first home. They where there every step of the process and got me a loan that I did not think was possible. Very professional and knowledgeable, they have my business for life.

This is the third time we've done business with Casa and the third time we've been completely satisfied. They are very personable, professional and highly competent. Would recommend Casa to anyone looking for a drama free loan process

Never fail. For a full decade now, Casa Financial as come through for every purchase or refi loan request we've put before them. They're especially well-versed with VA loans. They ALWAYS reply back ASAP--even evenings and weekends. They WANT to make sure you're comfortable and happy, and have no qualms about slowing down and spelling something out that may be less clear to a layperson. If rates aren't quite what you'd hoped, you're not dropped like a hot potato and forgotten. Instead, they will SHOP for you

This is our 2nd time working with Katrina. Because of the flawless experience that we had with her during our refinance from last year, we have no doubt to come to CFS and Katrina for our mortgage loan again. All we did were a few text messages to Katrina, and a few days later we got our pre-approval letter. From the mortgage application through underwriting to approval and closing, Katrina, Jennifer, and the whole team at CFS have been extremely detailed, responsive, and transparent. Moreover, Katrina help

Frequently Asked Questions

What qualifications should I look for in a CPA?

Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.

How do I find a CPA in my area?

Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.

What’s the difference between a CPA and an accountant?

A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.

How do I know if a CPA specializes in my needs?

Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.

Should I check a CPA’s reviews before hiring?

Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.

How can I verify a CPA’s license?

Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.

What questions should I ask during a CPA consultation?

Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.

How much should I expect to pay for a CPA’s services?

Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.

Can I work with a CPA remotely?

Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.

How do I assess a CPA’s communication skills?

During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.

What red flags should I watch for when screening a CPA?

Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.

Should I choose a CPA from a large firm or a solo practitioner?

Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.

How often should I meet with my CPA?

For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.

Can a CPA help with both personal and business finances?

Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.

What should I do if I’m not satisfied with my CPA?

Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
