Brian Skarg – Wells Fargo

Zero stars! Don’t trust this guy if you want to get your keys! We Bought a new construction home. Brian Skarg was the lender the development offered for a discount in loan fees and they said he knows about the new development. I normally use my own lender and close my loans in 30 days or less due to our excellent credit, job history and funds available. This loan had to wait for construction. 10 days before l was to get my keys Brian decided he needed proof that my taxes were included in my condo HOA, a paper he never asked for and said he couldn’t get in time so he was going to call the seller and tell them I can’t buy my house! Screamed at me when I told him it was his fault for not asking for the paper before. Then he called the seller, lied and shared my private information to tell them I couldn’t buy the house! Really? Wow great customer service! No one should have to go through the nightmare he caused me, buying a house is stressful enough! There is no reason to use this guy! I have never had a problem getting a loan! It’s always been easy before! I called his boss, she closed my loan. I called my lender to verify she could still close my loan in time!

My husband and I worked with Brian to get our first home mortgage with Wells Fargo. He came highly recommended by our real estate agent as someone who «doesn’t play games.»
Throughout the process, Brian was straightforward and communicative. I really appreciated how up-​front he was about everything, especially since we were new to the process. He seemed to sincerely care about providing a smooth escrow and ideal rate. Whenever there were small bumps, he knew exactly how to resolve them.
Brian and his assistant Pam promptly returned all calls and emails. I never felt like we were left hanging or unsure about what came next.
I highly recommend Brian Skarg and would definitely work with him again if the situation arose.

We have worked with Brian Skarg for many years now … he shows up at signings, we have buyers that are ready to go, and his ability to minimize stress and get all work done upfront … makes him invaluable. If your lender isn’t prepping you with a full qualification up front, that lender doesn’t care about your time or you. I know the process of being a buyer, is grueling right now … but if a lender isn’t making sure all variables are evaluated upfront, it could equal problems at the end. Brian does all he can to ensure a smooth escrow. Brian is a complete professional and is the perfect lender to make sure your buyer is happy. I can’t write enough nice things about his work ethic, response time, dedication to our files, and most importantly, to our clients. His communication and updates are regular and come without request or badgering (which if you’re in our industry, is invaluable and helps with the stress that simply comes with buying a home). Brian we’re grateful to know you, and your track record speaks volumes along with VERY happy clients. Thank you. We have numerous closes over the years with Brian — I highly recommend you interviewing him. He’s a gentleman and a hard-​worker.
