As a first-time flipper, I had a lot of questions and concerns going into my first deal?but Loan Goat made the entire process smooth, fast, and stress-free. From start to finish, the team?s support, knowledge, and responsiveness made all the difference. Blair, Milad, and Kiara were absolutely incredible. Each of them brought a high level of expertise, professionalism, and genuine care to the table. They were always available, quick to respond, and proactive in solving any issues that came up. They walked me
Excellent experience working with the Loan Goat team! Milad and his team did a great job taking care of our funding needs and the entire team went above and beyond to ensure the things went smoothly for our transaction. When a big bank dropped the ball for nearly 2 months, Loan Goat stepped in and was able to get things taken care of and clear to close in just 10 days. From Milad, Blair and Maricruz, the whole team worked together to take care of things. Highly recommend reaching out to the Loan Goat team!
I had an excellent experience with Loan Goat during our real estate deal, working as the buyers agent throughout the deal. Their team was professional, responsive, and guided me through every step of the process. Clear communication and expertise made closing my deal smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend Loan Goat for anyone in need of a reliable lender. Thank you for your support!
Loan Goat made our impossible situation into a reality. I'm certain that NO ONE ELSE could have gotten our loan through the way they did. We faced so many roadblocks and Milad never gave up and his team was communicative and timely on EVERYTHING. We never had to worry that they weren't moving our file forward everyday. I've never seen such level of competence and expertise in this industry. Thanks again to the team ????
Where do I even begin! I reached out to Loan Goat after I already had an offer accepted and was in escrow, using Kiavi as my lender. I quickly realized that Kiavi was not the right choice and decided to switch lenders. I am so glad I found Loan Goat! They literally saved my deal from falling through. From the moment I called, Blair and Milad exuded top notch customer service. Their commitment to their clients is very evident. They are very knowledgeable, exceptionally fast to respond and patient to walk you
The team at Loan Goat literally saved my life. I was in such a bind and didn't think I had anywhere else to turn. Even with my extensive knowledge in this field I felt I was going to lose everything. The team has insight and plans I never thought possible. I was skeptical at first but who isn't. If you don't give them a try then you might never see how they literally made magic happen. I was truly at the end of the road and I can't be happier for the help, dedication and camaraderie I felt by trusting the r
I referred my friend over to Milad and while they werent ready to do a fix and flip just yet, Alex told me Milad was the first lender that actually explained the process, how constructions loans work, and answered all their questions. She even said he answered on a Saturday while he wasn't in the office. She couldnt get the other lenders she reached out to to even pick up her calls on a weekday. If you are looking for the best lender, call Loan Goat. No wonder everyone in San Diego knows about this company!
As a business owner traditional lending doesn't fit my finances, which is why Loan Goat is a godsend. They are able to work with you, understand what you're trying to do and get it done.
Milad asked that I write him a review.. Best and fastest lender in all of San Diego! Referred my boy to milad who needed fast funding and he got him a loan in less than 10 days.
I recently completed a bridge cash-out refinance from a private lender through Loan Goat and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. As a borrower in New York?one of the most attorney-heavy and regulation-intensive states?the process was anything but straightforward. Add to that the fact that I was traveling internationally during part of the transaction and this easily could have become a logistical nightmare. Thankfully, the team at Loan Goat?Milad, Blair, and Kiara?handled every twist an
This is my first experience dealing with Milad Shamoun & Blair Noble at Loan Goat. Very professional, accommodating and focused on obtaining results. Over my years I have dealt with various types of Intuitional and Private Lenders. Loan Goat stacks up with the best.
The Loan GOAT saved the day! A deal started to go south with a traditional bank despite there being no true issue.Milad having a true understanding of how to get help we are clear to close in 15 business days. Maricruz was the star in this, the seller was in a tight spot already signing a lease so without her deep knowledge of structuring a file we will close!
Fantastic experience working with Milad and his staff at loan goat. Closed both of my loans in less than 10 days. Best hard money lender hands down in San Diego
Milad is the best in the game! My deal would not have happened without him. He performed at a 10 and was more hands on than I could ever ask for. Definitely recommend!
This team is equipped with professional, knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and responsive members!

They answered our questions thoroughly and replied quickly to our questions-which we had plenty of! It felt as if we built a great relationship as opposed to just being another number; we were treated very well and managed to get an interest rate within our budget. We definitely built a life-long relationsh

Loan Goat is simply in a league of its own. As a lender who has worked in the industry for 8+ years, I have never seen a company that is able to come up with the creative financing solutions that Milad and Loan Goat are able to. The dedication to excellence and the client experience truly make Loan Goat one of a kind.
Great meeting with Malid today at the Loan Goat office ! I'm wowed at all the different mortgage programs they can do? it's a one stop shop ran by a team that doesn't quit. I excited to work with you and your team in the near future ! ??
I had such a great experience working with Milad and Blair on my loan. They provided top notch service and worked around the clock to get my loan closed on a very short timeframe. I highly recommend using the Loan Goat!!

Milad?s exceptional service and attention to detail make him a trusted partner in the home buying process. If you're looking for a mortgage lender who goes above and beyond for their clients, Milad at Loan Goat is the one to call. Highly recommended!
Loan Goat saved me money and helped get me the house I wanted in 2 weeks! Milad explained how it didn't make sense for me to pay an extra $50,000 in reporting higher taxes because they could get my purchase done without the need for tax returns. They got me a bank statement loan and the difference in payment was just a few hundred dollars a month.. so much better than paying tens of thousands of dollars to Uncle Sam. Their Pre-Underwritten Approval came with a 2 week close. Our phenomenal real estate agent
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for Loan Goat?s exceptional assistance throughout the entire homebuying process. Your unwavering dedication and commitment were instrumental in helping me secure my first home. Your availability 24/7 was incredibly reassuring, knowing that I could always reach out with questions or concerns. Your willingness to go above and beyond, providing me with detailed guidance on how to improve my creditworthiness, was invaluable. Your support from the very beginning to
I recently had the pleasure of working with Milad at Loan HQ, and I must say, their office is nothing short of amazing. Not only is it welcoming and professionally appointed, but it truly sets the stage for the exceptional service they provide. Loan HQ stands out as one of the best lenders around, especially when it comes to handling clients with tricky financing situations. They seem to work magic, finding solutions where others might not. Highly recommended for anyone needing expert and creative mortgage
If you are looking for a home to buy and need a loan officer, Milad and the Loan Goat team are AMAZING. In the beginning Milad would always tell me that they are purchase focused lenders, and after closing on our purchase and going through the process, I understand the value that this team brings and now I get what being ?purchase focused? means. Before we even got our offer accepted, Milad was constantly communicating with the seller agent to help get out offer accepted. Even during escrow, his team was co
Big thanks to Loan Goat for making my VA loan refi smooth and straightforward. As they are veteran led themselves, they get where veterans are coming from?knew exactly what I needed and made it all happen without a hitch. The whole team was professional, efficient, and just easy to work with. Highly recommend if you want a refi handled right.
Loan Goat was a big help in getting my offer accepted. Their underwritten approval and 13 day close was a big reason why my offer got accepted! Milad and his team are extremely knowledgeable, and always available. I just closed on my first ever purchase and they made what is supposed to be a stressful experience, an easy one. They were available even after hours, which is extremely important to me. If you're looking for honest, reliable, quick and knowledgeable Loan officers, I would highly recommend them!
Thank you Milad!!! I reached out to Milad concerning questions I had about the services he offered- he was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and patient when addressing my concerns and questions. I like and appreciate his straight up approach when discussing details, it was inspiring even to hear someone who is so passionate about what they do, you can tell it just naturally comes as a second nature to them. I highly recommend you reach out to Milad and his team if you have any questions concerning loans
Milad and James are amazing! We are working on a few clients as well as myself to get a home loan approved now. Very helpful and the trainings you give all of us agents makes me feel so much more knowledgable on the loan side of my real estate transactions.
If you are buying a home in southern california, you can't afford not to use milad and his team for financing. I own numerous properties and have always bought using all cash because banks take so long to close a loan. In San Diego especially, it's hard to get an offer accepted because of the high demand for real estate. Milad and his staff just closed my loan on a 3 million dollar water front?property in Coronado in only ONE WEEK!! He orchestrated a phenomenal plan to get my offer accepted using hard money
I had an exceptional experience with Milad and Loan Goat. His team was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, guiding me step by step and answering all my questions. The application process was streamlined and hassle-free, making it easy for me to secure the funds I needed. The interest rates they offered were competitive, and I appreciated their transparency about all the terms and conditions. I was pleasantly surprised by the quick approval and disbursement of the loan, which was a lifesaver fo
This guys are absolutely amazing! We were in escrow with a lender that had been giving us the runaround, we became fed up and started looking for another loan officer. Milad and his team came highly recommended from my brother in law Mike. In less than a week they were able to issue a CTC on my purchase. Thank you Loan Goat for being a huge help with my journey to home ownership. You all have turned me into a lifelong client and biggest fan!
Loan Goat lives up to the name. If you're looking for a lender that will be creative and collaborative with all involved parties in the transaction, look no further. Great Team, great systems & processes, works tirelessly for you and your needs.
My real estate agent Paul Hitchcock referred me to milad and his lending team, Loan Goat! They got me preapproved in less than 24 hours and were an instrumental part of why we beat out other offers and got the home we fell in love with! Their ability to close in just 2 weeks made all the difference. Everyone on the team was available day and night to answer my questions. This team knows what they're doing. Can't imagine ever talking to any other lender again! Thank you Milad, Yousif and Risa!
The Loan Goat is a high value, excellent mortgage company that offer a variety of mortgage products. I was very satisfied to work with them. They were available to address my client?s needs 24/7. It was somewhat of a hassle when it came to submitting offers but the Loan Goat team was very responsive and followed up with each listing agent every time I sent an offer out. I appreciate their attention to detail and I was very pleased working with them as a realtor.
This is the best lender in all of California! It's very important as an investor or first time home buyer to have a spectacular lender in your back pocket. Milad does more than a regular lender. Him and his team work 24/7! They will call the listing agents to make their presence known. They will figure out ways to make a loan happen! Loan Goat was able to get me approved with an FHA loan for a multi-unit property when every other lender I knew told me it was impossible. Loan Goat was able to make my loan wo
I found Milad on Zillow after looking for a loan officer for our first home purchase. He had the best reviews after looking at all our options. His team was able to get us preapproved in the same day that we applied and he even referred me to Jenny the realtor that helped me buy my home. He closed my FHA loan in only 15 days!! Thank you so much Milad and loan goat team. You guys made our family dream of being homeowners come true!
Milad helped me finance my first flip using a hard money loan. We didn't need an appraisal and he closed the loan in only 1 week. There were more than 20 offers on the property and a big reason we got our offer accepted was because with Loan Goat?s hard money financing, the offer is as good as CASH!! Not only did he help us with financing, but he played a big part in the general contractor we chose. We are bidding on more properties already, thanks to Milad and his knowledge of real estate.
Our amazing realtor Joaquin referred us to Milad and his lending team. Milad was a big help in getting our offer accepted on a beautiful home in Carlsbad for 2.1M. His team offered a much shorter closing time than that of the normal 30 days - having a lender that could close quickly was extremely attractive to the sellers and their realtor. The loan goat team was always available, even after business hours. We talked to Milad and his team as late as 10pm, they were always happy to answer our questions. Mila
Loan Goat did an incredible job to help me use creative financing to pull out some cash out on my home. My amazing realtor Aziza Nelson referred me over to them and they took care of me from the start. From the beginning process with Milad and Emily being so amazing on getting my information quick and painless. Yousif guiding me through the exact terms of the loan I was going with. Alex being extremely responsive and making this process so easy for me while he processed my loan. This team does an exceptiona
Working with the Loan Goat team has been the easiest, quickest process ever. Being able to have my VA buyer fully approved within 1 day and having my buyers payment broken down for my client to easily understand has made this so less stressful for my client as well as myself. Having the luxury for my VA buyer to pick their closing date has been a dream! The Loan Goat team is professional, well educated and on their stuff. They know what they're doing, Milad and Yousif are loan geniuses and I will never use
Who you work with matters. Especially in one of the most competitive markets in the country. The Loan Goat has been a much needed and welcomed addition to the lending industry. Milad and his team are outstanding at what they do from start to finish. They are fast, efficient, and professional. They are good people who take the time to understand every client?s particular needs while treating them with respect and kindness. With exceptional communication throughout the entire transaction it is an honor and a
We just closed on our first home with the help of Milad and the Loan Goat Team! We had an amazing experience from start to finish. They put us in a group chat with their entire team and every time we had a question, it would be answered right away - even on the weekend and late in the evening! (When the escrow company?s notary came to our home for signing she kept saying ?I love your lender. They were so easy to work with.?) My previous realtor was not getting it done for me, so Milad introduced me to an a
When I saw the preapproval letter included with the offer on a listing I had from Milad from Loan GOAT I said to myself... "this guy is totally full of himself or really good." That client ended up cancelling, but I was so impressed with Milad and his team that I referred them to the next buyer because they had found the best program for a difficult property. He kept me informed and worked very quickly! Milad you are a Goat and I will be sending you more deals!
We just bought our first home and used Milad and his team for the loan! We were first time home buyers so we had no idea how any of this worked. Milad got on the phone with me and explained everything. He was very patient and educational. Yousif was able to preapprove the same day I submitted my application. Milad made a great team with my realtor Ashley from Porchlight. They helped get my offer accepted and even negotiated with the sellers agent and were able to get me a credit towards my closing costs! Al
Milad and his team are the best in the industry. With the help of their creative financing, our family just bought a beautiful home here in San Diego. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't have qualified for this home. Yousif from Milad?s team was able to pull off magic. This team isn't just about loans, they help with everything. We had questions about trusts and they covered that. They referred me to a real estate agent that got our offer accepted 150K under the listing price and got us a credit towards our
I had the pleasure of working with Milad and Yousif on several loan transactions and they are some of the best in the game! The amount of care and effort they put into making sure each client has the best experience possible, is impeccable. The Loan Goat team not only closes their loans in two weeks or less on average, they make it a smooth easy process for everyone involved. True mortgage professionals! 5 stars for sure! :)
I was referred to Marine Corps Vet Milad and the Loan Goat team by my Realtor, Elvin. This lending team really does go above and beyond, I had an amazing experience working with them. Yousif was able to get me preapproved in a matter of hours. Milad communicated with the listing agent when Elvin submitted an offer on my behalf. This is really the biggest reason they stand out as a lender. Milad went over how quickly they can close (14 days). He told the listing agent that my preapproval had already been und
Loan Goat helped me finance a new home with creative financing. They went above and beyond from the beginning to get this done extremely fast for me. I have worked with multiple brokers before but no one has been as quick as this team. Milad, Yousif, Emily, and Alex are such a great and organized team. Without them I would have never been able to get this new property. I will continue to refer them out to all family and friends. They are my go to loan company and I have built a forever relationship with the
From beginning to end, the Loan Goat team was just wonderful! Because of my complicated finances, I was was not the easiest person to loan to, but Milad & the whole Loan Goat team never had a problem with it, and never made me worry about it. They were so smart, creative, and easy to work with, reassuring me they could get me funded. And they did it!! I had a dream and they helped make it come true. I'll be forever grateful, and hopefully will work with them again in the future. Thank you!
Milad and his team are THE BEST!! They are not the average loan officer. If it wasn't for the loan goat team, we would have never gotten our offer accepted! We were working with a Realtor that wasn't fighting for us, wasn't picking up our calls, and just wasn't getting the job done. Milad introduced me to Carlos and his Real Estate team- and they IMMEDIATELY went to work for us! Milad, Yousif, Carlos and the entire team is without a doubt in my opinion the most aggressive and best combo of a realtor and le
Milad is the best in the business. Dealing with multiple high profile clients I need a solid loan broker to refer my people to. Milad is my guy! He has successfully helped over 50 close friends and clients of mine and everyone comes back raving his excellence. If you need a loan goat, look no further! 10/10 recommended!
Our amazing Realtor Ashley introduced us to Milad and his team to help us with financing and getting pre approved. It wasn't easy to get our offer accepted but with the help of Loan Goat and our extraordinary Realtor Ashley we were able to get it done.! They fought hard to get us the best deal possible and were available 24/7 via messaging and emails to help answer any and all questions we had during this process. Our hearts are FULL!! We have created a new chapter in life! THANK YOU TO THE ENTIRE TEAM!!
Milad and his team were an amazing help for us as we navigated buying our first home in an insanely competitive market. He always responded to every text, email, or phone call within minutes. He provided clear and accurate information for all my questions (even the somewhat stupid ones). He was friendly and personable and was truly invested in helping my family purchase the right home for us. He went the extra mile and spoke directly with every seller?s agent for every house we bid on to assure them that ou
Milad, Yousif, and the team are excellent at what they do. They clearly communicate with myself and my clients to make sure that the transaction goes smoothly from pre-approval to close of escrow. Their 24 hour availability is great because real estate usually happens on the weekends and outside of 9-5 hours when our clients are out of the office. If an issue does arise they're on top of finding a solution and will do whatever it takes to get the deal closed. My clients were thrilled with the Loan Goat team
Was referred to them by a friend and so glad I did! They had the best customer service and the process was speedy and hassle free. Would definitely recommend!
We found Loan Goat on Instagram and decided to reach out after reading all of their phenomenal reviews. After reaching out, Milad immediately got back with us and called us for an over the phone consultation. Within just a couple days, we were pre-approved and had an offer accepted on a beautiful property in Mission Viejo. We recently moved, so our situation was unique. Milad was able to find us a Profit and Loss statement program which got us to the closing table! The entire Loan Goat team was relentless
Meredith referred us to the Loan Goat team for the purchase of our beautiful new house. Milad and his staff worked diligently and were always available to answer any of our questions their communication was top tier and we really felt like they had our back throughout this entire process. From Yousif getting us preapproved to Alex getting us across the finish line, there wasn't a beat that they missed. Thank you so much Loan Goat for everything.
I'm Not Saying These Guys Are Magical, But I Did Summon a Unicorn After I Started Working With Them. I just closed on my property that the loan goat team helped me finance. Milad, Yousif and Alex are absolute ACES at what they do. I met with Milad and Yousif almost a year ago at their La Jolla location and we discussed options for buying in San Diego. They preapproved me quickly and were always available to talk loan scenarios with me 7 days a week. I'm in the solar industry so I know many real estate and
This is our second time working with Milad and his staff, and just like the first transaction with his team - everything was seamless. They truly do make it easy on their clients! They are always available, extremely knowledgeable and move very quick! They got our loan to clear to close in just 7 days! We are clients for life! Thank you so much Milad, Yousif and Alex. And big shoutout to Joaquin for referring us to this spectacular lending team!
As real estate professionals, having a top tier lender is vital to the success of our business. Milad is the hardest working lender I have ever had the pleasure of working with by far! He not only has great communication with myself and the client but makes the entire process stream line and makes sure every ?I?is dotted and ?t? is crossed which helps me focus on what I need too do. With everything from late night approvals to 14 day close of escrow, I could not recommend Milad enough.
My son and Realtor referred me to Milad and his team. I am retired, so qualifying for a mortgage wasn't easy, but this team made the impossible happen. All within 5 days of getting on the phone with Milad and Yousif, I got my offer accepted. Their pre-underwritten approval and 14 day close made my offer stand out. Their creativity, knowledge and experience was instrumental in getting my loan to the finish line. The value this mortgage company provides just can't be matched. They were also able to offer me a
Milad and the Loan Goat team are some of the most talented and experienced professionals I've come across. I have a large Real Estate portfolio, and I needed mortgage advising on whether I should refinance or not, whether I should pull cash out, etc. In all my years of working with other lenders and banks, I can confidently say that no one is more knowledgeable than this team. They listen to your situation, explain to you the loan products that would make sense for your scenario, give you a plan, a timeline
Where to start with Milad and his amazing team and network? all I can say is WOW. They are the BEST, most hard working, extremely knowledgeable, around the clock, whatever, whenever EXPERTS! It all began 6 months ago. We were going to sell our home with a family friend, but Milad advised me that not all Realtors are created equal and that hiring a true expert to get us top dollar was essential. He referred me to Lee Shaprut. Lee came in and took charge from day 1. Because of his expertise & everything he di
After struggling to get get an offer accepted and working with a lender with limited communication, we found Milad on Instagram. He immediately responded to our initial request and scheduled us an in-person consultation right away. We went into his office and got a pre-underwritten approval by Jeelani the same day! Once we submitted our offer, Milad followed up with both my real estate agent and listing agent to get our offer accepted! Then, Yousif was able to get my loan cleared to close in 7 days! They we
We greatly appreciate working with reliable and trustworthy lenders like Milad and his team. They are extremely responsive and on top of each transaction. They can also close very quick in this competitive market setting them apart from many other lenders. Thanks for your hard work and we look forward to doing many more deals together!
We had a VA loan on our current property and we wanted to. move forward and purchase another home. but we were unsure of how to do this. Tanya introduced us to Milad and his team and told us that they were the best lenders. Milad got on the phone with us and explained to us exactly how veterans can use their VA loan more than once and accumulate wealth. They were able to help us refi out of our VA loan into a conventional loan thus freeing up our VA entitlement so that we were able to purchase our next home
We just closed on our beautiful home in El Cajon with the help of Milad, Yousif and their lending team. We were able to purchase our home with NO INCOME and NO EMPLOYMENT required for the loan! Loan Goat has a loan where if you put 20% down, you don't need any income to qualify! Everyone told us this doesn't exist but milad and his team showed us that this is possible! This team goes above and beyond, they communicated with our realtor 7 days a week and even drove to us to help us with signing some document
Milad, Yousif, and the Loan Goat team were an invaluable asset during my home purchase. I have extensive experience working with lenders due to my many past home purchases. However, Loan Goat has far surpassed all of my expecations and set a new industry standard! They are always available, day or night, including weekends - which is an added benefit in a market like today's! They have a proven track record of closing deals in just 2 weeks, which was a huge determining factor in getting my offer accepted. L
Milad, Yousif and Alex make up just about the most solid lending team I've ever worked with. No BS, no excuses, just maximum efficiency. They got the job done for me and my clients where other lenders fell short, allowing me to focus on getting offers accepted on week 1 of showings rather than struggling with preapproval. 24/7 isn't just marketing hype, they truly are available any day any time when I have a hot client on the line ready to talk financing. In this day and age, intake and speed to action are
Jessica our realtor connected us with milad and yousif from loan goat to help us buy a home and we just closed!!! My loan wasn't easy these gentleman took my calls as late as 11pm and on the weekend, and as stressful as the escrow was, they always reassured me that they would close my loan. There were many hurdles and I truly don't think anyone else would?ve helped me as much as they did. They got my credit up, and did a lot of work for me to buy this house. Thank you so much guys for helping my family and
Ivan, my realtor, introduced me to Milad and his AMAZING team when I was looking for a lender for a preapproval. Mind you, I currently have no income and was told no by everyone else. Milad and Yousif assured me that they have creative financing, and if anyone could get me a loan, it would be them. I trusted them, and they made it happen for me! They helped my realtor get my offer accepted! What they did sounded very complicated, but at no point during the escrow did I ever feel stressed out because they he
I was referred to Milad and the loan goat mortgage company by a good friend of mine. I am going through a divorce and I was fighting to keep my house for me and my babies. I haven't been working at my job for the 2 year requirement for a loan so my situation was very difficult. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE told me there was NO WAY I was going to be able to keep my home. This team inspired me to fight and told me they were going to help me keep my home. They assessed my parents income and told me they recomm
Milad and Yousif with loan goat saved my loan that couldn't be done by two other lenders and I couldn't be more thankful for these angels. I was literally about to lose the home that I fell in love with until the seller agent told me to give these guys a call. In ONLY 4 DAYS they took my loan from the application to a final approval. Two other big loan companies couldn't do it after weeks of trying. Loan Goat team did it in 4 days. Their speed, customer service, knowledge and thriving in chaos is a 10/10. L
We just closed on our condo with the help of our amazing realtor Diego, our loan officer Milad and his team! Diego referred us to the loan goats for financing, and they did an incredible job with helping us navigate through our first home! They were available 24/7 to answer any of our questions and they quickly got our offer accepted! Diego and Milad got the seller to pay some of our closing costs!! Yousif and Alex helped close our loan in just a few weeks! Thank you all!!!!
Where to start with this amazing team?! I have had the pleasure of working with Milad and his team twice in the past 3 years. When Interest rates dropped, Milad personally reached out and informed me of the market shifts, and we made moves from there. From start to finish(both times) they have been on top of each step and ensured documents were correct at every step of the process. Thank you Milad and team for all the hard work and dedication to your customers!
Milad and his team over exceeded my expectations. They have been such a pleasure to work with. One of the smoothest transactions from a mortgage lending team. Quick escrow. They are all very professional and on top of it with communication. Not your average lending team for sure!
Milad?s customer service and professionalism are unmatched. He went above and beyond to ensure my wife and I had an easy home buying process. He was even able to coordinate an off market deal for us in this crazy housing market. I am incredibly grateful for the reassurance, support, and expedited services from Milad. I give my highest recommendation to any first time homebuyer or to anyone interested in purchasing a home.
I cannot say enough great things about Milad and his team. Owning a home in San Diego seemed like an impossible dream for my family - and they made it a reality. From day one Milad and Yousif went above and beyond to find a solution to our complex situation, and walked me along every step of the way. I am a first time homebuyer, and I was very nervous to buy a home, and unsure of the process. Both Milad and Yousif were in constant contact with me, answering all of my questions, explaining every step, and ju
Milad is one of the best mortgage brokers in the country. Amazing service ! No where you need to go if you want a loan. Hit this company up for a great rate and new 30 year fixed rate and get even better service!
Milad and his team truly care about you and your goals! They made the loan process incredibly simple and EASY. I could not believe how fast everything was completed, and they stayed in touch with me through every step. If you need a loan in California, Loan Goat is the place!!
In a customer service driven profession it's so important to have business partners who we can trust every step of the way with our clients.

With effective communication skills, transparency and a relentless work ethic, I'm glad to have Milad on my team. In this real estate market you need experience and a go-getter attitude.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
