Brandon Knapp -RPM Mortgage

My wife and I have used the RPM team for the last 10 years on multiple transactions including primary homes, second homes, and refinances. They are flexible and very responsive. The feedback from the title company and agents has always been very positive. I would not use anyone else.

If you choose anyone other than Brandon and Ofra, you are simply crazy. Mortgages and home buying is not for the faint of heart and it had always felt like I was maneuvering through a dark forest of unseen trolls that were just waiting to pounce on us and hold us down.
OK, I don’t know why I used that forest and troll analogy, maybe I shouldn’t write my reviews after the kids go to bed and their stories are read.
Nonetheless, Brandon and Ofra and their entire team go above and beyond for you. Questions are answered, even after hours and always quickly. They make you feel like you’re their only client and only your stuff matters and will do anything to help you make your dream home come true. We will recommend them to anyone who is thinking of buying a house.
When dealing with so much money, what more can you ask for? How about a new BBQ set as a closing gift? Oh yeah, well, we got that too. Thank you, guys!

This is the second time I’ve worked with Brandon Knapp and RPM Mortgage, and I couldn’t be any more pleased. Let me start by saying that I was up against an all-​cash offer on my most recent purchase, but it was partly because of Brandon and his crew that I was able to beat them out. The thorough pre-​qualification and guidance I received helped me navigate the ultra competitive Bay Area real estate market with more savvy than I could have done otherwise.
Brandon, Ofra, and Melissa all worked very hard at answering my intricate questions to make sure I understood all financing scenarios, which then allowed me to make the best offer I could on a property. Then, once my offer was accepted, Brandon and crew worked diligently to get escrow closed in a very timely and efficient manner.
I most highly recommend RPM Mortgage for all real estate lending needs. I would not hesitate to use them again, but thanks to them, I’m just going to enjoy my new home for now!

I approached Brandon and his team at RPM-​Mortgage after having issue with a major lender (and lost one week of valuable time) and RPM-​Mortgage was ready to take my case and they gave me loan approval in time for the closing. I really appreciate Brandon’s team Ofra and Melissa. Ofra was very prompt in communication and helped me with loan process. I highly recommend Brandon Knapp and team for mortgage loan processing. They really have a professional touch.

Working with Brandon and team was one of the highlights of the home buying process. They provided several options in terms of how to structure the loan and were always to quick to respond to questions/​requests. Could not have been more pleased with the service we received.

Working with RPM Mortgage, this had to be the easiest house purchase ever done for me and my husband. I’ve used credit unions and large banks in the past, but was recommended to RPM when we decided to «just look». RPM was able to give us a pre-​approval right away with our required documentation and allowed us to start looking more seriously. When we found a few homes we liked, we were able to work with them on the offer letter. Ultimately we found a home we loved and was able to get our offer accepted. We got into escrow, supplied them with the necessary documents and they were able to get everything done in less than 30 days. The team — Melissa, Ofra, Brandon were all so responsive and answered our questions in a timely manner. There were no delays or anything in the process that made us worry. It made our very expensive purchase relatively stress-​free and I would highly recommend and/​or use them again in the future!!!

Brandon and his team did an amazing job. They helped us in buying our first home and kept us up to date on everything. Brandon talked us through the whole process and thoroughly informed us of all our options. Melissa made sure we completed all the paperwork on time and answered all of our questions. Responses were extremely quick and it was reassuring to know that everything for the loan was being taken care of. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone else.

Brandon and Melissa and the rest of the staff at RPM were a pleasure to work with. My new «go to» company!

If you want to close on your house, choose RPM. Goes without saying that the process to fund is more difficult than getting an offer accepted. My situation was unique with complications that would have forced me to withdraw the offer with any other lender. Ofra provided multiple daily updates, but more importantly added much needed expertise in order to great creative and find work-​arounds. She negotiated contingency extensions for me and helped close before the time we committed to. RPM should confidently know that they will receive all of my future business and referrals to all of my peers, family and friends. Thank you.

These guys are ON TOP OF THEIR GAME!
Second time purchasing a home, we went with these guys based on a colleague’s recommendation. I’d highly recommend them to any of my friends in a heartbeat.
Ofra’s deep knowledge and out of box thinking really made us feel comfortable in tough circumstances. Simply amazing! Thank you!

I just finished closing the purchase of a condo in San Francisco, and feel so grateful at how smoothly the loan was acquired through RPM.
I especially appreciated how they took me back after I had arbitrarily decided to go with another lender after both lenders had acquired my financial data for pre-​approval. When I found the property to buy, the other lender decided she couldn’t fund that type of property, and when I called RPM back they were confident they could either fund it or that someone on their network would be able to fund it.
I never met the RPM team in person, but felt so connected to multiple members of their team through frequent emails, with some of the responses arriving late into the evening.
Definitely would use RPM again!

Was referred to Brandon/​RPM by my realtor, Deniece Smith. Two years after my initial purchase/​financing, I wanted to refinance to make home improvements. They made it very easy for me to do everything remotely, including sending a mobile notary to sign the final papers at my home! I have a busy schedule with lots of travel and they made the entire process extremely convenient for me and kept me informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend them.

Just finished another mortgage refinance with Brandon’s team. Melissa and Ofra helped us on this one. They provided the same great service we’ve come to expect. Couldn’t be happier with the result.

Investment Advisors connected me to Brandon Knapp, RPM Mortgage, to find a loan that better suited my situation. I had been disappointed at what my Bank had offered.
Within 24 hours, Brandon was on it and communicating a strategy that made sense + fit my intention to conclude Escrow in ~30 days.
I could not have asked for better or more timely service. Brandon and his team were spot on from the first day. First rate coordination was provided by Ofra Arbel who kept me on target + the flow of vital information going to agents, Escrow, Insurance, etc.
Although I consult Unilocal often, this is the first review that I have written. I am doing so because I received such excellent professional services from RPM — with the quality and level of communication that I can only wish were standard practice in all of my business relationships.
The point being that RPM showed respect and exhibited competence from start to finish… which resulted in trust. I recommend Brandon and his team with enthusiasm and absolutely no reservations.

We have been clients of RPM Mortgage since 2006 through the purchase of 3 homes, and a number of refinances. We have always been treated as more than just another customer with them. They are proactive in ensuring that we’re getting the best options available at the lowest rates. We continue to be extremely please with their service and have built a great relationship with Brandon, Melissa and Jamie over the years. Highly recommended!

Our realtor pointed us to Brandon and team and WOW what a great team. Brandon has a great breadth of knowledge and very willing to discuss different options and their implications. Melissa was wonderful and worked with us tirelessly to make sure we were able to close quickly and easily on our new house. In fact, everyone we met on his team were all incredible.
In the end we were able to close on a relatively complex transaction (we were selling and buying at the same time) smoothly and at a rate that was competitive with the discount brokers.

We were referred to RPM through a friend/​coworker, and all I can say is WOW! We were first time homebuyers, so needless to say we had tons and tons of questions. It also took us a year to find a home. Jamie stuck with us throughout the entire process, and told us about every loan type and option available. She has always gotten back to us so fast, whether we e-​mail her during the week or on the weekend. Once we found a place and our offer was accepted, we started working closely with Melissa as well. She has been just as great to work with as Jamie. We were able to close FAST… even our realtor was in shock about how quick this team gets things done!
We are extremely grateful for all the hard work Jamie and Melissa (and the team) have put into helping us with our mortgage. We will 100% use this team when we refinance down the line. This team is incredible! Thank you… you guys seriously rock!

We just moved into a house that we were able to buy and close on extremely quickly thanks to the tireless efforts of Brandon Knapp and his team. We interacted with Brandon, Melissa and Jamie and all of them were extremely professional, responsive and very focused on making our mortgage process as smooth as possible.
We were able to get a very good loan, at a better than expected rate, and move extremely fast on the close. And the costs were very reasonable. It’s hard to ask for more from a mortgage company.

I was referred to RPM and Brandon by my realtor friend Deniece Smith. This was my first time using RPM. I live in SB, and the rental prop is in Tustin. They did an amazing job from start to finish. Ill use them again for sure. Thanks Brandon and Melissa!!!

I was referred to RPM mortgage by my realtor. I met Brandon the first day and he went over various loan plans. He made me understand pro’s and cons of each plan. What he explained made sense and I got pre-​approved with them.
During the escrow process I worked his team (Melissa and Jamie) with him overseeing the process. Brandon promised to close in 20 days and he did. His team is very sincere and responsive when it comes to communication.
Brandon even came to title company on the day of final signing of documents. He went over the HUD statement with me to make sure there were no extra charges.
I recommend Brandon and his team. I will work with them in future.
