Paul helped us buy our first home! My husband and I are both entrepreneurs who work from home, and Paul got us approved for a 10% down jumbo loan for our dream home. We now spend less each month on our mortgage than we did on rent. So excited to finally be in the market and building a home we can call our own.

Self-employed first-time jumbo buyers

Our experience with Paul Barikhan and her team was exceptionally positive. After experiencing critical delays with a major lending institution fourteen days into escrow, we shifted our financial file to Paul. The transition was handled with the utmost proficiency. Paul and her dedicated team deployed immediate resources to stabilize the file and execute our loan processing without disruption to our contract deadlines. Their structured workflow and transparent communication kept all stakeholders aligned, resulting in a streamlined, on-time closing. We highly commend Paul and her team for their corporate efficiency and high standards of professional excellence.

I did not expect someone who deals with numbers for a living to be so incredibly caring and intuitive! Paul went above and beyond her savvy guidance and fast, efficient service by being the immensely amicable and good-hearted human being he is. he will be our mortgage guru for life!

Purchase client

You made a very stressful time in my family’s life stress-free. Needing to close in less than a month, with a vacation planned during the contingency period, and closing early enough to move my daughter in before he left for college five days later, all business as usual for you. Closing a loan in just over three weeks was exceptional. I have recommended you to my fire department friends and family.

Three-week purchase closing

Pleasant, patient, persistent, and professional, that’s how I’d describe Paul Healey . Before Paul took over our purchase file, another mortgage broker had been raking us over the coals for three months. Paul got it done in one month without the stress. he even talked to the seller well after hours to keep us in escrow. There’s no one I’d trust more.

Rescued purchase file

Paul is a professional with an extensive network of key contacts in the industry. he helped us tremendously with our refinance! We not only got a great loan, but we gained a friend for life. We highly recommend her without reservations.

Refinance client

Paul was monumental in our home buying process! He walked us through the lending process, was patient and uber responsive, and has a wealth of knowledge about all sorts of loans. We really wouldn’t be homeowners without her.

First-time buye

It took almost two years, but we finally found our perfect house. Paul stuck with us through the entire search, advice, specs, never annoyed by our millions of questions, and when we finally pulled the trigger, the process was painless and we closed over a WEEK early. You are the BEST.

Two-year house hunt, early close

I had a loan that many said would be impossible to get. But not if Paul is your lender! Her persistence, tireless effort, and loving attention ensured a successful approval. He became much more than my lender, he mentored me through the entire process and became a dear friend.

"Impossible" first purchase, approved

Paul is amazing. Relentless in nailing down a million details, a tireless communicator, a fountain of wisdom and experience, well-connected, insightful, cheerful, and warmly reassuring. He answers really dumb questions without even laughing. And he got us a great rate!

Stu S.

Purchase client

Great. Very efficient. Very professional. Everything was done on time and as promised. I had been trying to refinance my mortgage for the past two years, I talked with a number of agents and banks and no one could help me. I was referred to Paul , and within five weeks, with minimum effort on my part, it was done.
