“On behalf of Gayle and myself, I want to drop you this note of thanks for so efficiently and professionally handling our recent new purchase financing transaction. I recognize that a 30 escrow time period was a challenging task, especially in December, but was not surprised when you met every deadline and our financing was completed on time. We have used you twice over the last 2 years and our experience, each time, has been extraordinarily easy and successful. We are happy to write this letter of thanks and recommendation, and will be recommending you (as we have already done), to all of our friends. Thanks again to you and your team for helping us with our new home loan process.”

“To future homebuyers,
I had used a previous lender that claimed they were experienced in processing VA loans, but due to their lack of knowledge, the loan for the home I wanted fell thru.? After finding Dean, I was still a little leery of lenders claiming they knew how to process a VA loan, but Dean and his staff worked with us daily, if not hourly, to collect all the required paperwork. What is even more impressive is that Dean was able to process our loan within the 30 day requirement by the seller over the Christmas holiday period. I am happy to say I am happily enjoying my new home, and would not be in it without Dean’s assistance. I highly recommend Dean Rathbun for a home loan, and especially to veterans who plan on using a VA loan.”

“We recently used Dean Rathbun to help us in acquiring a new mortgage. We found him to be pleasant, professional, helpful and efficient. His staff were helpful, organized and got the job done! We did not feel stressed nor inconvenienced and that is seldom the case when procuring a mortgage. Both Jim and I would highly recommend Dean and his staff when looking for a new mortgage or managing an existing mortgage.”

“We really never say it enough to each other as we are always so busy every day, but just wanted to pause for a moment, and let you know how thrilled everyone is with the speed and efficiency you guys got this done for Misty.
She and I couldn’t be more happy with the service you are giving her and the sellers are beyond thrilled because they can now release contingencies early on their new home.
Thanks for making my job SO much easier and less stressful. I sleep better at night knowing you that you guys are taking great care of my buyers.”
Tom B.
“Now that we are back in CA and things have calmed down, Corey and I just wanted to say thank you again to you both.
The sellers made our lives difficult from opening to close but you & your team made never added to that stress.
We were a little nervous that you wouldn’t have enough time to close, and the sellers would not approve an extension, but thank God we didn’t have to go that route.
We really appreciate the quick reply to emails and the great communication the entire transaction.
Keep up the good work… it is noticed and GREATLY appreciated!
Talk to you on the next purchase or refi on this one..lol..!”

Let Us Help You Get the Right Loan for You
If you’d like to learn about how United American Mortgage can help you with refinance your mortgage, we’d love to speak with you.

Loans for apartment buildings and multi-family units have much different lending requirements than loans for single-family homes, which means that unless you work with a company that understands those differences and the challenges they can present, your lending process may be destined for frustration and even failure.
Most lenders have very specific underwriting requirements for these types of loans, and that means they also have very specific requirements when it comes to the application and approval processes. Without an experienced mortgage expert at your side, it’s easy to make errors that can wind up derailing your loan process, resulting in costly delays or out-and-out denial of your application.
Network of Lenders Means More Choices for You
At United American Mortgage, we work with developers and investors every day to help them find the loans they need based on their own unique objectives. As experts in the lending industry, we help our clients understand the lending process, beginning with an analysis of each client’s needs. Then, we tap into our network of top-rated lenders who are actively seeking loan applicants just like you, so you can be assured of getting the most competitive rates and terms based on your financial profile and goals.
Whether you’re looking for a loan for new construction or for an existing apartment building or multi-family unit, we can help you get the loan you want without closing delays, and we can provide you with expert help and guidance throughout the process to eliminate hassles and headaches.
