Michael Belfor – American Pacific Mortgage

Michael Belfor made what is usually a miserable process straight forward and relatively simple. Without having even met us, he sent us the forms we needed, helped me fill them out, directed me on the process and turned things around literally over night. I would recommend him to anyone! His service was stunning and he couldn’t have been nicer.

As a real estate broker, I feel confident when I refer clients to Michael because I know he will take great care of them. Michael is very knowledgeable and provides great rates and outstanding customer service.

Michael is so awesome! He literally took us from denied for a loan to approved in 5 months. Not to mention his super fast closing time! He’s awesome especially if you’re new at the whole home buying process. He walked us through everything and was always available when we needed him. He definitely deserves 5 stars for all his hard work.

Mike is the guy you want helping you when you’re buying that dream house! There’s a lot of things going on that can be overwhelming when you buy a new house and Mike always kept us updated throughout the whole loan process. He’s a straightforward guy and always willing to help answer questions and explain the loan fees. He got things moving to help us get our loan as quickly as possible so that we closed on time which is really important in this market right now. We’ve now moved into the perfect house in this crazy market! Thanks, Mike!

I had a great experience working with Mike. He was friendly, very responsive, and proactive about keeping me up to date with the status of things and the progress of the loan. Overall Mike was a joy to work with and I’d do so again!

I give Michael Belfor 5 stars because he has guided me through the endless paperwork of obtaining a mortgage! I was working with another broker from First Cal when she was promoted and unable to continue loan processing. I found my dream home and my realtor who also deserves 5 stars Kristen Kern from Century 21 in Novato referred me to Michael. She had many great things to say about him and how could I not contact Michael? Although starting over with a new broker I was cautious of the process. Michael made it much easier this time around. He is kind, considerate and a real professional and he will follow up with you!
Thank you Michael for getting my loan!

This was our second mortgage transaction with Michael, and once again, very pleased with the attention to detail and level of communication regarding the entire loan process. We had looked into other mortgage products and found the customer service lacking, particularly in terms of being kept in the loop with the process itself. While I advocate consumers shopping around, I found that I was relieved to be working with Michael again because I feel that I get straight answers from him (unlike other who just want to get paid) and would recommend him to anyone looking for a mortgage!

I was a week from closing when my first broker informed me that his team had misread some details on the property and couldn’t fulfill my loan. They left me high & dry.
After a bit of a scramble, my agent referred me to Michael. Michael and his team secured my loan in a very short period of time. Going through such a stressful set of circumstances, it was great to have Michael there, constantly working, and keeping me from getting *too* stressed out buying my first property :).

Because of Michael’s expertise and hard work, we now have our dream home and a great mortgage that perfectly fits our needs. Our home search in Oakland and Berkeley lasted a few months. From the beginning, Michael guided us through the complicated process. For something as momentous as buying a home, you want to work with someone who is extremely competent, knowledgeable of the market, responsive, has a good sense of humor, and really cares about your personal situation. Michael exceeded our expectations on all fronts.
One of the most important pieces in the process was to get the underwriting process started ahead of time. This took a lot of the guesswork out of the loan process. We were able to bid aggressively with the knowledge that we had already satisfied the financial requirements for our loan. This allowed us to move extremely quickly on our offer, and it played a key role in having the offer accepted. Michael worked hard to make this happen and to present us with the perfect mortgage for our needs. Working with Mike was a great pleasure throughout and I learned a lot from him in the process!

Michael was dedicated and diligent during my entire process of procuring a mortgage loan with American Pacific Mortgage Company. My particular experience had several setbacks beyond his control and was very stressful for everyone involved, but because of Michael’s hard work and meticulousness during this process, I was able to purchase my first home! Based on the quality of the service he provided, I feel comfortable recommending American Pacific Mortgage to friends and family looking to purchase a new home.

Mike Belfor is truly amazing!
After having a inefficient experience at our bank, my husband and I worked with Mike to finance our first home. We thought given our down payment we would need to go FHA, but Mike showed us another option, an option that proved to be better for us, and one that our bank had never presented to us.
Not only was Mike fast, knowledgeable, and responsive, he genuinely cared about us and how we were doing with the process.
When we found our must have home, he even called the buyers agent and expressed our value as strong buyers.
When my mother decided to buy her first home a month after we closed, I connected her with Mike, and with no surprise she had the same experience.
Sitting here in our new home reminds me that am truly grateful for his diligent work that helped gut us into our new home!
THANKS MIKE!

Mike was great to work with. He not only worked diligently on my behalf but really did everything possible to help me get the best rate. Mike communicates well. I didn’t have to chase him or wait for a long time to get answers to my questions. Importantly, Mike is just a nice, decent guy. There are lots if mortgage companies and reps to choose from, I wouldn’t pick somebody I didn’t both like and trust. Mike fits the bill on both counts.

Mike Belfor is not just a mortgage guy he is a friend. Very committed and personable when helping you throughs the craziness of getting a loan. Two years after he still calls to say hi and how are things. That’s customer service.
Thanks Mike you Rock!

Mike was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions and making sure we got the keys. He’s a great guy with great communication skills and made sure we had all our papers together to close on the loan. It also helped that we paid less in closing costs and interest than with other mortgage companies we received numbers from.

Michael Belfor did an outstanding job for us. Not only did he get us a most competitive rate but his service and responsiveness to our needs were incomparable considering our previous experiences dealing with realty loan reps at banks. Thank you Mike.

I have worked with Michael on several deals and he is a get it done professional. The transactions are well managed and I was kept in the loop the whole way through. In a time when underwriting with all the lending companies is making the home buying transaction a bit more challenging, Michael works hard keep the added stress minimized for our clients. He is truly a pleasure to work with.

Mike is an intelligent, attentive individual that delivers results as promised. I don’t know what I would do without him to help me every step of the way during my first home purchase. He is great at what he does, and would use his services every time.

I had the good fortune of being introduced to Michael several years ago while searching for someone to help me get a project done that no one else had been able to help with. From the first point of contact he has maintained complete professionalism and has been there to guide me and provide input when I needed help. He is very knowledgeable and resourceful and his approach is methodical. Not only has he proven to be a true asset on the project I originally contacted him with, but it turns out we are now working on many other deals together. I can say without fail, I feel fortunate to have made Mike’s acquaintance.

Mike and American Pacific Mortgage were and are beyond fantastic. They truly made me feel at home and provided the interest rates that could not have been better. His responsiveness was above what I expected and he answered every question promptly. I am overall highly impressed and will continue to work with them and share Mike’s name with others.
