Marc Thompson – Mason-McDuffie Mortgage

I met with Marc regarding a potential plan of purchasing a house or a cabin. He was incredibly helpful and thoroughly answered all of my questions. We are relatively new to the area, first time home buyers and strongly debating what is the best option for us.
He started off our meeting by inquiring about what we are ultimately looking for in our short term and long term plan. After gauging our ultimate goals he took the time to run through a few scenarios while providing his professional insight.

After our initial correspondences plus this initial meeting I realized I would feel extremely comfortable with Marc as our mortgage broker. Marc really seemed like he wanted what was best for us. Overall, I have no doubt that if we went with a mortgage we would feel comfortable and confident we got the best.
Summary:
Clear. Concise. Friendly. Approachable. Knowledgable. A+. Highly recommend based on my experience.

Marc and his team were great! We just got the keys to our new home yesterday and are so happy! I would highly recommend Marc and Jeff to anyone needing mortgage services — especially first time home buyers (like we were) who have no idea what the heck is going on during escrow! Marc and Jeff were very patient, answered all of our questions, and never made us feel stupid or like we were wasting their time just because we needed things explained. Very approachable and friendly guys! Will use them again if we ever buy, sell, or refinance :)

This fall I purchased a home utilizing Umax Mortgage. Though I live in Marin County I was referred to Umax of Davis and they absolutely lived up to their reputation.
I found Marc Thompson to be ethical, professional, highly organized and a clear communicator. He took the time to understand my specific situation then by anticipating and thoroughly reviewing all necessary documentation we were able to proceed to closing with only a few minor requests by the lender. I required an expedited (as possible) closing to avoid a double move and Marc Thompson came through. While I would not call the loan process simple these days, this Umax team has streamlined their processes. The entire office is highly competent and a true pleasure to work with.
Marc locked me in at a phenomenal rate. Since acquiring the house and after discussions with others who purchased or refinanced during this time period I’ve confirmed my rate is truly exceptional. I absolutely recommend Umax Mortgage in Davis.

Although we had refinanced several years ago, the rates had dropped significantly enough in recent months to justify another pass. Not ones to venture into the murky waters of California refinancing without a trusted guide, we solicited the help of Marc Thompson.
Marc recently helped a good friend of mine successfully refinance his home under challenging circumstances, and I had complete faith that his knowledge of the landscape and relationships in the industry would be beneficial to our situation.
Marc did not disappoint. Not only is he a knowledgeable, astute mortgage broker, he also places great pride in establishing strong relationships with his customers. At the end of the day we achieved a fantastic rate, a great deal of savings, and a mortgage broker who we would recommend and who we would work with again.

I put off refinancing my home and month after month I just kept watching how much extra I had been paying out on my mortgage. I talked to a few loan officers but nothing sounded right. I was referred to Marc from a friend of mine who refinanced his home and his rental and he said that Marc really went out of his way to make the whole process easy. Well, a long story short, I just refinanced my home. Each month now I save so much money I can’t believe I didn’t do it a year ago. That’s why I am writing this Unilocal.I should have done this a long time ago. I highly recommend him. Marc used to live in San Francisco so i was comfortable about him knowing the entire bay area market, not just Davis! He really went out of his way to get me the best package and most importantly for me, he made the process stress free.
