But Crown Mortgage of the West is different.

The team was attentive, detail-oriented, and provided timely updates at every stage. I highly appreciate their expertise and dedication.

Purchasing or refinancing a home is such a personal and often stressful experience, things seem to come down to the last 30 days and when the process greatly affects you and your family, emotions can run high. In the age of online offers and refinancing with a click of the button I have been burned before. In Brian I have an individual on my financial team that I can trust completely and that is priceless.
Mesa, AZ
When I began working with Brian, I had an idea in mind about what I wanted to do regarding consolidating debt to reduce interest rates and allow for more cash flow. In the spirit of exceptional service, Brian didn’t simply respond to and process my wishes, but shared with me several different options which would help me achieve my goals more effectively, unlike other financial institutions that merely returned a solution which was not really in my best interest. Once the final solution was determined, Brian and team continued to work hard for and with me to get the best rate and deal possible by counseling me on how to increase my credit score in short order and then by interacting with the agencies on my behalf to update their records just in time.
Brian always made me feel at ease, was easy to communicate with and by the end of my first purchase with Brian I knew for a fact he had my best interest at heart. I have since done three transactions with him and I know he always fights to get me the best deal and protects my interests at all costs.
