CWC Financial Customer Reviews

"CWC provided excellent financial service advice and solutions to accommodate a fast move from southern California to northern California. If ever there was someone who in crunch time can produce results, think outside the box, and do so with the utmost integrity and reliability, it's CWC. Thanks!"
—George, Tiburon, CA

"In the many years we have been homeowners we have never had an experience even as remotely positive as the one we had with you. The older I get, the more I appreciate being treated with respect and concern. We will recommend you to anyone we know who is seeking a loan. Thank you."
—Sue, Union City, CA

"Gary, Thanks to you and Charlie. You were the best loan people that I have ever had the opportunity to work with. And, even though I know that this is only business, character and relationship mean a lot to me - and you both came across with integrity."
Stefanie, Pasadena

"Dear Charlie, Lynn and I appreciate all your help on our refi. It was the most trouble-free refi we've ever experienced. I particularly like that you took the application over the phone. We will definitely recommend you to our friends."

Neil, San Rafael

"Hey Charlie, I just wanted to take the time and commend CWC's choice of employees. Christiana and Melody are not only professional but have been very kind when I call them frantically with issues. Not to mention they often have gone way beyond the call of duty. They have really helped us get through this refi and I wanted you to know the fantastic job they have been doing. I can certainly see why CWC received its Diamond Certification. Thanks for your help.

Babak and Mailana, Lafayette, CA

"Thank you so much for your help (& that of all in your office). We were so pleased with the attention and response that your staff gave us during the insanity of purchasing a house!

Lisa and Benjamin, Mill Valley, CA

"We just wanted to give a warm heartfelt thank you to the family of CWC. The entire staff made our fist home buying experience wonderful. We appreciate all of the time and effort that went into making our dream turn into a reality. Thanks again!

Sincerely, Joel and Kristy, Pleasanton, CA

"Charlie, we are situated in our new home in Novato in record time! Your company's timely and professional service made a big difference during the escrow process. We enjoyed working with you and appreciate your responsiveness and your excellent staff. Thank you!"

Marty and Deanna, Novato, CA

"I have been meaning to come by one morning to personally thank you and your team for the awesome job you did with our refinance. Everything you told us about the process was 100% correct! I will be sure to refer you to family and friends as you are truly the experts."

Theresa, Benicia, CA

"Charlie, I don't normally write but I feel compelled to to let you know how grateful I am to you. You were so nice to spend so much time explaining stuff to us - and re-explaining again and again! You really made this happen for us. We appreciate all your hard work so much - even the work we can't possibly know you did. You are so good at your job and I'm glad we had you by our side. I'm telling everyone I know to use you."

Liberty, Novato, CA

"Charlie, Alas, I wanted to thank you for making my refinance such a pleasant experience. It was short and sweet; thanks for clearly explaining all my options so that I could make the best decision for me and my future goals. You and your professional staff are to be commended and, with first-hand experience, I will gladly recommend you to my clients."

Desiree, Oakland, CA

"Charlie, I can't tell you or explain to you how much we appreciate everything you have done for us as well as the time Donna spent helping us look for a home. This is one of biggest steps in our lives and you have really made it happen for us. It is hard to put into words how grateful we are to you but I do want you to understand that we know that this wouldn't have been possible without your time, effort, and concern for our future. You are an awesome broker and friend and I hope in the future there will be some way to be able to show our true appreciation for all that you have done. While this a huge commitment, we are both beside ourselves in excitement. You are the greatest...thank you, thank you, thank you!!!"

Mike, Novato, CA

"You have been extremely responsive and helpful to us and
we appreciate your patience and hard work in addressing these few remaining concerns. Both Ann and I greatly appreciate your patience, hard work, and assistance in working with us to obtain a mortgage loan for the Belle Terre property. Thank you again for all your efforts."

Vince, San Francisco, CA

"Charlie, thanks for all your help. You were great to work with and a true professional. I will be back in a few years to refi, so keep me in your files! I will send people your way if anyone I know is interested in a first time home loan or re-if. Thanks"

I will never forget how you kept the commitments that you made to me and my family all through the process of making our refinance a reality. We felt like we were dealing with a close friend, because we found we could count on you to be available to honestly answer our questions and concerns on an as needed basis. It has been refreshing to find a businessman with such high standards and integrity. Good luck to you in your future!!
