Crest Mortgage

Lisa Hillis of Crest Lending Group made an amazing thing happen for us! After being turned down numerous times for re-​fi because of a lower value on our home, plus other factors that weighed in, we were concerned we would never get the opportunity to complete a refinance at a lower interest rate. Lisa, however, worked with us through the entire process to make it a reality. I honestly believe that without her persistence and perseverance on our behalf, it would not have happened. Lisa was in constant communication with us, keeping us informed of what was happening and what would happen next. She never dropped the ball, where I’m certain that others most likely would have.
I give my highest recommendation possible to Lisa Hillis of Crest Lending. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Thank you, Lisa!

We just completed a refi with Bill Tarter and the Crest Mortgage team. We checked rates with several lenders that friends/​co-​workers had recommended («need a lender, my guy’s the best») and Bill beat them all. The process was easy, only took 3 weeks and went flawless. We look forward to working with Bill again next year on a new home purchase!

Thank you Kevin and Bill for making this refi possible! Flawless process! I look forward in working with you again next year!

I’d been looking into a ReFi for my home in California for several months as I saw my home value rise and the rates remaining low.
After being denied several times over the past year or so I stopped actively looking. Sean cold-​called me one afternoon and said he could help. I, personally, highly respect someone who has to make sales calls on the phone — it’s hard work dealing with strangers who may not have all of the information available.
4 weeks after the initial phone call from Sean, working together with Bill, Crest got me a great ReFi –lower rate and payment!
We were also able to eliminate some other debt tied to my solar system. This coupled with their ‘free ReFi’ program if the rates dip again — No Brainer.
Their focus on great service is something I hadn’t experienced in the financing industry before. I’m totally stoked they called, I’m just bummed I don’t have another house to ReFi with them !

Well,. .. . after three rejection letters and working with other banks for three years, (two of those years with one Bank — — - thank you for wasting my time Ch***) — — - guess what? ? — - — MY LOAN CLOSED TODAY with CREST MORTGAGE !. I am still in shock about it. I had given up on being able to re-​finance even though I had good assets, a great credit score and solid income. Thanks Guys (Bill and Sean), I am impressed!

The team at Crest did an excellent job in helping me get a loan for my condo in San Diego. It was my first time purchasing a home so I didn’t really know what to expect, but Kevin and Leann did a great job of helping me through the process and were able to get my closing done as scheduled. They were sure to get me the best interest rate available and offered competitive fees to keep my closing costs low. I couldn’t be happier with their performance and will go back to them next time I need a home loan!

I received a cold-​call from Crest Mortgage and Mike Roe was on the end of the line. Mike was very professional, high energy, and answered all questions and was assuring me all along. As we progressed through my refi he introduced me to Bill Tater (owner) who also extremely professional, and always expeditiously answered my question, and was assuring. I had read Unilocal reviews, and saw people had nothing but positives and they couldn’t have been more correct. I had dealt with other lenders in the past who left me with less than favorable experiences. Not these guys. They produced just what they said they would, and then some. Keep up the good work guys, and thank you for being so patient with me.

I was cold-​called by Crest Mortgage because they «want to save you money.» They may, in other respects be a decent company, but I have not inquired about a mortgage in over two years – when I did, I made the mistake about giving my phone number.
Now companies like Crest Mortage purchase these bulk lists and start calling people – just the thing the Do Not Call Registry is trying to prevent. If you have ever been interrupted by a phone solicitor or wasted time calling back a number that called you, then you know how aggravating it is. Let Crest Mortgage know that you will not tolerate their spam calling practices.

The most painless re-​finance experience ever. Bill Tarter and his team were a pleasure to work with, the process was easy and streamlined and I was very pleased with the outcome. Bill keeps you well informed through out the process, and is always available as a single point of contact, unlike other mortgage lenders who transfer you from person to person as your loan progresses. Highly recommended!

Carrie and Bill are great! They helped me and went above and beyond to make the numbers work for me to qualify for the refinance on my own, without a second income or cosigner. Very grateful! I highly recommend them if you are looking to refi.

This company was absolutely the BEST to work with! Not only are they the most PROFESSIONAL people around and guided me through the process with ease, but they are KIND and FRIENDLY as well! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I had been trying to secure a housing re-​fi, that from my perspective should have been phenomenally simple. I felt like I was being taken for granted and certainly not served. I was contacted by Lucas Huff of Crest Lending after phone call and explained my dissatisfaction with what was going on. He made some quick inquiries and agreed that there was nothing that warranted the poor service I was getting. Lucas initiated the process and completed the transaction in blistering speed. I have been involved in more complicated trips to the grocery store… hats off to all of those at Crest!!!

Absolutely wonderful company to work with. Bill Tarter and his company are the nicest people to work with. This was by far the fastest refi I have ever experienced. We started on Feb. 4^th and my load was done and funded on Feb.19^th. I would highly recommend them to anyone of my friends and family.

Bill Tarter at Crest Mortgage far exceeded any expectations I could have for a GREAT refi experience. He did what he said he was going to do, when he said he was going to do it and delivered exactly as stated with the utmost kindness, concern and care of any lender I have experienced! WOW 100% the best. I would recommend this company to anyone. And I will use them for any future needs. From start top finish, 4 weeks. THANK YOU BILL!

Over the past 25 years, my husband and I have purchased or sold five homes. Bill Tarter and his team at Crest Mortgage are simply the finest mortgage brokers we have ever worked with.
Although we were private banking clients with excellent FICO scores and perfect mortgage payment histories, our bank wouldn’t refinance our home. Luckily, we sent out a request for mortgage brokers to contact us via email, and that Crest Mortgage was one of the companies that answered.
Not only did Bill Tarter and his team assure us that he could get us a great loan, but it was the easiest loan process we have ever experienced. Although we live in Southern California and Crest Mortgage is in Lake Tahoe, the distance was never an issue, as most everything could be done online. Bill was very clear with his instructions, and there were very few other documents we had to turn over after the initial submission. He answered all of our questions, always responded promptly, and kept us in the loop. The result: in six weeks, we had an excellent 3.8% loan which is saving us $ 500. per month on our mortgage.
Bill Tarter and the team at Crest Mortgage were consistently helpful and professional. And more importantly, they get the job done with minimum stress on his clients. We highly recommend Crest Mortgage to handle all of your mortgage or refinancing requirements.

Bill Tarter is the best! I refinanced a rental property in Loma Linda, CA and refinanced my second home for free saving me about $ 400 a month! He is professional, honest and always answers his phone. I recommend his company for any mortgage needs.
