Being a first time home buyer, if I was thankful for something besides my house, then it was having Greg and his team as my Mortgage Planners. From the first time we spoke, he was very clear and upfront about my expectations and my requirements. At the very first meeting, he explained to me the entire process of buying a house, including steps in which he was not involved. He went above and beyond in explaining and guiding me through the process. I had a tight budget to work on and he made sure he got the best for me out of it. He kept up to his promises, and got me the best interest rate for my house. One quality that I really liked about Greg was that he did not quote low just to get me as a customer and then backed out from what was promised. His approach was this is the maximum Varun but I will work hard to get it as low as possible. True to his word, he gave me the most reasonable costs and was very transparent. He and his team were excellent when it came to following up. They always kept me up to date on the progress. They were always available for the 50 million questions that I had. Another quality that I really liked was his attention to detail. He would pick on the smallest nuances to ensure I would not land up in trouble in the future. I would highly recommend Greg as an excellent Mortgage planner and am sure to come back to him if I ever decide to re-finance or purchase my next house.

Greg and Emma Lartilleux are the mortgage specialists for you! As a first time homebuyer, I knew nothing about how to get a loan, and Greg walked me through every step of the way. Whereas other banks just asked me what type of loan and amount I wanted, Greg actually explained to me the pros and cons of the different types of loans and also gave me a detailed analysis of the fiscal benefits of each loan. At the end of our many conversations (he was always available and I never felt like was hurrying me or pressuring me one way or another), I felt like I really knew what I was getting into. Indeed, he listened to my long term investment goals and helped me make the right decision for me instead of what would net him the most money. He got me the best available deal in terms of interest rate especially when I compared it to the other banks I went to. Furthermore, when the time came to fill out the paperwork, we went through each page together and he patiently answered every question I had. I had so much trust in him that amazingly, I felt less buyers` remorse after making the biggest financial decision of my life than when I buy a pair of shoes. If you want to get the right mortgage for you and not lose sleep over whether you`re getting tricked, you know who to call!

I am so very blessed in the Client services of Avenir Mortgage Planners. My husband and I met Greg and Emma in March 2014. We had been with a previous lender and was pre-approved February 16, 2014, found the house of our dreams and the day of the inspections- 22 minutes prior, we received a phone call from lender telling us they were unable to approve our loan, I was lost, phoned our Realtor and he recommended calling Greg at Avenir Mortgage. Greg got right on our dilemma called previous lender got all our information and advised us to proceed. Greg was able to get us a Mortgage for our dream home and we closed in less time and with a great interest rate. Greg and Emma kept in constant contact with us during the process! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AVENIR MORTGAGE and THANK THEM EVERY DAY FOR HELPING US FINANCE OUR DREAM HOME. We are officially moved in and thankful for our Guardian Angels-Greg Lartilleux and Emma Lartilleux.

My husband and I have nothing but deep appreciation to Avenir . They handled our loan when we bought our house last September through FHA . The interest rate was great and we were asked to put in a little over $2,600 to close the escrow. Greg was so patient in explaining the pros and cons of buying a property at that time. We decided to buy a house and can’t be happier with the deals that Avenir orchestrated for us. Greg and his able assistant Emma were superb. Same thing happened just recently, when we did a refinance to avail of the rate reduction of mortgage insurance. The loan went through without any problem in a few weeks and no closing cost. We truly recommend Avenir !

I loved working with Avenir Mortgage to do our refinance. From the very first contact with Lisa, the whole group was top notch! They are very professional, helpful, knowledgeable people who genuinely had our best interest in mind. Every step of the way, no question was too small or too big, no concern was too trite. Greg and Brent were in constant contact with my husband and myself, often answering questions as soon as they arose, before I could even ask them! The whole experience made us feel valued and understood. And we ended up with an even better rate and outcome than we had first expected! I recommend Avenir to anyone needing help with mortgage planning or refinancing.

Greg and his team helped me buy my first house. Greg took a lots of time to explain and help me navigate the process of financing for a house. They very quickly got me a pre-approval (in a matter of days). After a couple month, had an offer accepted on a house. Because I was flying abroad, and moving out of an apartment in the city at the same time, the deadline to close with tight. Bent had an incredible patience with the mortgage company they picked. I got a great rate. At the end, they achieved an incredible feat: Everything was signed with the notary exactly 15 days after the offer was accepted. All in all, I had an amazing experience with Avenir Mortage Planners.

Greg helped me for my first home purchase. Being foreign, everything was even more complicated for me. I worked with several mortgage brokers and I can affirm that Greg had been the most involved of all. He explained every steps and costs in detail where other tend to avoid mentioning some hidden fees and provided documents with many detailed loan options. He will accompany you, make you understand every aspect of the process and make you feel in control. Plus his rates are extremely competitive. Last thing I could mention is that he can help you in English or in French, the latter being precious for my fellow countrymen. I would definitely recommend him!

Thank you so much for all of your help in securing our loan for our first new home in Hayward, CA, especially to the Avenir Team (Greg, Brent and Lisa). You were organized, thorough & professional. We have the greatest appreciation for our loan manager - Brent, he has been really amazing, answering emails at midnight and 6am, everything got done so quickly. It’s just fantastic spotless work. Given our baby is coming real soon we couldn’t appreciate all this more. We put our trust in you and you most definitely came through for us. You stand above the rest!

We were the first time home buyers and were very nervous to make this step. Greg helped up to understand the process patiently describing each step with examples and options during multiple sessions. We were able to complete the purchase on time with a better rate we found ourselves (we got 5 quotes online). We never felt any pressure to make a decision. Also, the amount of information provided to us as well as the way this financial information was delivered was perfect (full, but not overwhelming). Greg takes time to listen to you first. Looking forward to work with Greg again. Seva and Olesya

We just completed the refinancing of our condo and we are very very happy with the amazing service, the information and updates we received along the way, and that we were able to complete the whole process in under a month. Greg was highly recommended by a friend of mine and he was able to help us find the right mortgage rate and term. Then Brent and Lisa kicked in with all the paperwork, appraisal and loan requirements. They even arranged for a mobile notary to meet my husband at his hotel room while in Virginia to sign papers. I would highly recommend Avenir for your mortgage needs.

We sent our first email to Greg on July 15th. Shortly thereafter, we were preapproved and on August 19th, we signed the mortgage documents on our first home. Not only was Greg able to secure us a loan with less than 20% down and no PMI, he was able to do it on a tight schedule. He squeezed us into his schedule the day before a 3-week vacation to France to meet with us, and worked with us on his vacation to make sure we had all of our questions answered during the process. I look forward to being in "his system" that he has to automatically notify us if it becomes favorable to refinance.

I was referred to Avenir through my real estate agent during the process of selling and buying a home. Greg explained everything very thoroughly both verbally and in writing and also made valuable suggestions to maximize my credit rating which made a big difference in securing the best possible loan. Avenir also offers a service after the loan is funded to monitor for refinance opportunities and let me know if something comes up which might afford me an even more beneficial financing arrangement. I recommend Avenir to others looking for home financing assistance.

My situation was complicated because I wanted to keep my current home as a rental. I spent over 4 months working with 3 other loan brokers and all three concluded that I couldn’t qualify for a loan unless I sold my first home. Working with Greg and team at Avenir I got pre approved within two weeks, and they worked closely with me through the purchase of my new home to make sure I would not only submit an offer, but be qualified as a good buyer. I am happily in my new home now while still keeping my rental property. I am very thankful to have found Avenir!

Thanks to Greg and his team we just bought our first house. Greg, Emma and Brent were extremely helpful, explaining every step that goes into buying a home, giving us really good advice and answered all our questions. As first time buyers, it was very reassuring to have someone like Greg who always had our best interest in mind. Thanks to them we got a loan with less than 20% down payment in a very tight schedule. We can’t thank them enough for everything they have done for us. We highly recommend Avenir Mortgage Planners to everyone who wants to buy a house.

Greg and his team at Avenir made our mortgage refinancing a very easy experience. We had 2 properties to refinance which required extra work to get the best rates and terms for both: A rental and our own residence. Greg was very thorough, timely, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the process and we got a fantastic deal. 2 years later when rates got even better, we turned to Greg once again for a repeat of the seamless, and complete handling of our refinancing. We highly recommend Avenir and Greg for any of your Mortgage needs.

My wife and I had a very positive experience working with Greg and Emma at Avenir Mortgage Planners. They were able to get us a low fixed rate on our mortgage for our first home purchase. They also took the time to analyze our monthly budget to find a monthly mortgage payment that we were comfortable with. They helped explain everything along the way so there were no surprises. We are very happy with our new house and our mortgage. I highly recommend Avenir Mortgage Planners!

All I have to say, is that Brent and Greg at Avenir know how to get it done. It took just 22 days from start to finish for our refi. They were able to lock in a great rate and walked us through the entire process. They made it easy to get them all the documents they were requesting by providing a secure link we could download them to. I would highly recommend calling Brent and Greg for your mortgage needs. You will be glad you did. Dennis and George
