Testimonials

I cannot recommend Yvette and Chuck highly enough. They were instrumental in helping my boyfriend and me secure our first mortgage, making our dream of homeownership in California a reality. From the start, they were both incredibly helpful, patient, and thorough. What really stood out was Yvette’s sincerity and genuine desire to support her clients in achieving their goals. She made sure we understood every document and step of the process, regularly calling to check in, explain details, and answer any questions, which made the experience much less daunting. Chuck was attentive and punctual with documentation, legal forms, and communicating logistics, ensuring everything moved smoothly. Thanks to their combined expertise, we secured the best rate and loan we could afford. We’re so grateful for their support and look forward to working with them in the future!

Our story is a little unique, as in the past I personally owned a large mortgage brokerage firm (300 full time agents). So, I'm familiar with the process. I knew after 3 minutes on the phone with Yvette that she's extremely bright and very well informed on all products. She certainly has the ability to think ahead, in order to think out the best path and product choice. I was extremely impressed, and that's a lot coming from me and my background. I had some very bright agents over the years and I told her she ranks at the Top! We're grateful we were introduced to her in purchasing our La Jolla home!

We had the pleasure of working with Yvette and Chuck this past winter in purchasing our first home. As first-time home buyers, we were overwhelmed and confused but once we found Yvette, we felt confident and knowledgeable knowing that she was there to guide us. Yvette was considerate of our time as people with full time jobs and so, would extend her hours past normal working hours and even into the weekend to accommodate us with all the questions we had. She took the time to explain every step of our loan process, to explain why certain documents are needed and to elaborate on terminology that we did not understand. Because of that, we felt empowered in our knowledge to make our own decisions detailing our loan. We highly recommend Yvette and her team in this challenging market.

I was lucky enough to have Yvette by my side when purchasing my first home. She was kind, responsive, knowledgeable, and honest throughout the whole process. What I liked most was Yvette spoke to me in normal everyday talk, not fancy legal talk. That made me at ease and let me ask whatever dumb potential questions popped up in my head. I highly recommend Yvette.

Just closed out my 3rd transaction with Yvette & Chuck as buyer's lenders and can't say enough good things. I am a busy Real Estate Agent and this team's responsiveness day/night/weekends/and early mornings is unmatched. They make their lending clients feel as if they are only working with them; they possess similar qualities to how our real estate team functions, and it has been an amazing client experience. The 3 most recent transactions with this team were all self-employed complex lending files, and Yvette & Chuck were able to execute on promised timelines, provide competitive rates/closing fees, and pivot when complex situations arose from a lending perspective. Such a fan of the first two deals they closed that I did a personal purchase with them, and they closed a deal our own deal no other lender I am aware of could have closed! A+++

"Yvette and her team are miracle workers. They were able to get us financing when LITERALLY no one else could. It is not just their competence that sets them apart... rather their willingness to help and get the job done. Other companies were simply unwilling to do the work required to get us a loan and simply said it was impossible... and yet Yvette and Chuck were able to get it done. They were enthusiastic and excited and had a "can do" attitude throughout. We feel very lucky to have stumbled upon them because they have made our property purchase dream come true. We are so grateful for their efforts."

Just finished a Refinance with Casa2Condo. Couldn't believe how fast the process was. Yvette and Andrea were always quick to reply and clear on all the details. Loved how they used secure & easy to use technology to speed the process up. This also made keeping my own set of records very easy. I will definitely use Casa2Condo again in the future.

Yvette and her team (Andrea and Chuck) went above and beyond, just absolutely fantastic! They helped to walk us through the process, answer any questions we had (and as first time homebuyers we had many!). Yvette and her team were gracious, friendly and accommodating. They worked in rapid speed and efficiency to help us close our home early so we had extra time to settle in for the holidays. I'm truly grateful for all of their help and patience. Would definitely recommend!

Yvette and team made our experience super-efficient and very low stress! From the moment we made our initial inquiry to the time we heard our loan was funded, the Casa2Condo team made us feel like they had our best interests as their priority. The result was a seamless, quick solution that met every goal we had. I only wish we had started working with them earlier!

Experience sets them above the rest. They truly live to the concierge aspect of the business. Yvette and her team guides step by step in a very transparent and easy to understand process. I have done business with her for years in multiple properties. The first time I financed with Yvette she took the time to explain every single loan option, the pros and cons. Was very detailed to what best fitted my needs. I recommend her and her team with the ease that clients will be floored with the competitive rates, costs and above all superb service!

We just closed a condo at La Jolla Regents, Yvette @ Case2Condo did the loan for us. In today's super competitive house market, Yvette and the team were able to close our loan in less than 2 weeks. I have invested in condo before, and well aware of the challenge of getting a conventional investment loan for these kind of properties. I was pleasantly surprised and very impressed with the loan program Yvette offered, very good interest rate and very reasonable closing cost. Yvette even offered another loan program for one of my other investment condo, which I had a lot of trouble getting the loan years ago when I purchased it. (the offer I got at that time from other lenders were all super high interest rate and with hefty closing cost). Yvette is also super professional, very responsive to any request and questions, very pleasant to work with throughout the process. She delivered on all her promises. She made the process so easy and smooth for us. We are so happy, and as a result, we are looking at purchasing one more condo at Regents and work with Yvette again.

We came to Yvette very late in escrow with something like a 12 day deadline to hit. Our previous potential lender had made some massive errors that we were lucky enough to spot. Yvette took our phone call and asked a ton of important questions - some of which our other lender hadn’t even considered! We worked quickly to get Yvette and her team all the documents they needed, and within a short time, we had a pretty good idea of whether we would get approved. Turns out, not only did we get approved, we closed early!! Can’t say enough good things about Yvette and her team, but one thing that I think really stands out is her responsiveness and compassion. She’s always on your side, trying to figure out every angle and keeping you in the loop. And when you have a question, she's always there to answer. Will recommend Yvette to everyone I know looking for a lender in San Diego and Southern California

As a realtor, many ask me for mortgage / re-fi lenders... On a human level, the best & most positive experience you will have is with Casa2Condo and Andrea Engstrom and Yvette Valenzuela... I have bought and sold and re-fi'd maybe a dozen times in the past 28 years. They made this SO EASY -- no panicky calls from underwriters, no stress, no drama, easy online upload tools, constant communication, expert / insider advice. All within 2-3 weeks! I just cut my rate in **half** and got a bunch of cash out to optimize my finances and improve my casa. I am THRILLED & cannot believe it!!!

My husband and I had the most wonderful experience working with Yvette Valenzuela and Andrea Engstrom on our Refinance of our Two properties. These two ladies were so professional and on top of that they were the absolute nicest Loan Officers we have ever worked with. They kept my husband and I informed on every step of this process in such a timely manner. We would and have been recommending them to anyone that is buying or refinancing. Thank you Yvette and Andrea. We miss you gals. God Bless, Tim and Susan

Casa2Condo has been a huge blessing. Yvette and her team have held my hand through each process of purchases and refinances I have needed. With absolute professionalism, this team has shown care and understanding in each process. Yvette and her team have helped my parents as well. I can't thank them enough for the respect and patience when dealing with elderly clients. Casa2Cando's team exemplifies professionalism. They are extremely knowledgable, trustworthy, and polished in the services they provide. I am most pleased with their services and look forward to working with them again.

So thankful that we reached out to Casa2Condo for our most recent property refi. What an amazingly *EASY* process this experience was for our family. Casa2Condo’s no obligation consultation provided us the opportunity to get lingering questions answered and it presented us with a variety of loan options from reputable companies. Casa2Condo remained a text or phone call away, providing always a team member readily available to answer questions. Yvette watched markets closely in order to secure us a great rate under our requested terms. We have no hesitations in reaching out again to the Casa2Condo team. Thank you all!

Yvette helped us with our very first home purchase and went above and beyond for us. Aside from getting us the best rate possible, she was clear and organized about everything she needed from us and made the entire process as smooth as possible. Not only was she available for any questions at any time, she also took care of all the loan/funding communication between our realtor, our co-signer, and really anything we didn’t understand throughout the escrow process. Because she was so on top of it, we could go about our lives and jobs without having to be wrapped up in the escrow process all day, every day. We are talking about buying again in the near future and Yvette will be the first person we call when we start looking!
