When your back is against the wall, David Honda and his team are exactly who you want in your corner to get your loan across the finish line and close escrow. Honestly, trying to secure this home felt like wrangling my kids for a family photo, lots of chaos, a little bit of yelling, and me questioning if it was even possible. But David was right there, calmly (and quickly!) coordinating the "beautiful mess" of our lending process after another broker dropped the ball. What I came to learn is that David doesn't just process loans, he guides you. He explains the nuances, finds solutions where others see dead ends, and gives you peace of mind that someone is working tirelessly on your behalf (probably with way too much caffeine). I can't thank David and his team enough for turning what could have been a nightmare into one of the happiest moments of our lives, securing our dream home. He speaks fast, moves fast, and works fast, but most importantly, he's genuinely a good man with good intentions. And in this industry, that's gold. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK you, David.

I recently had the pleasure of working with David Honda as he wrote a mortgage for my family. As a real estate agent, I've worked with many professionals, but David truly stands out. His expertise and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He kept us well-informed at every step, answered all our questions, and ensured we had the best possible terms for our mortgage. I highly recommend David Honda to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and reliable mortgage lender. He goes the extra mile to make sure everything goes smoothly, both for homebuyers and real estate agents. Thank you, David, for your exceptional service!
I can't recommend David enough - he was easy to to work with, great at communicating, and very skilled in his line of work! We recently bought a home and hit a roadblock when trying to secure financing through our credit union. David was able to get us quickly approved for a loan and ultimately provided us a better rate than we were originally anticipating. Further, he was super transparent about the financing process and responsive in answering all our questions along the way. Thanks again for all your help, David!!
David is a great guy and an amazing loan officer. I counted on him for a quick escrow, and he did not disappoint! 10/10! I'm planning on refinancing with this guy for sure. Thanks, David! I'm a first-time home owner in big part thanks to you!
It was an awesome first time home buying experience having David in my corner. He was fun to talk with, and very professional. His knowledge and quick turn around during the VA home loan process was flawless. I didn't have to worry because he had it all under control.
The best thing about David, was that he was there to get the job done without playing any games. The reviews don't lie, he really is great! This man fought so much for my family to have our first home. He does all the stressing for you. To top it off this man even picks up a phone call at 1am for any questions or concerns. All his references are 5 star people so you know he works with an elite team. Thank you David for making something that never seemed achievable a reality!
I'm adding an additional review a year later because David Honda continues to provide top shelf service. I got a statement letter in the mail and when I mentioned it to Mr. Honda he pointed out I could now drop my mortgage insurance based on market data and loan balance. With this insight I called the lender and in minutes I was able to reduce my payment! There's a reason why Mr. Honda has 5-star reviews. He's the BEST in the industry. Period. No one has better service or works as hard to earn and keep your business. If you need a lender make David Honda your first and last call. No one else gets my business. Thanks AGAIN, David!
David and his team were amazing! They worked wonders and helped us through this process. Highly recommend them!
I was on the hunt for a perfect first home for a few months for my daughter and I. We have been renting for the last 9 years, and I have never owned, so this was a HUGE step for me. On top of the nerves and excitement of taking this big leap, the market has been insane, so it's been quite the roller coaster ride! From the beginning I knew I could trust David because he was completely straightforward which put me at ease right away. He was always there to answer any questions that I had and even offered a few pep talks when I really needed it. He also has a great sense of humor and was super fun to work with! David- thank you so much for making my loan possible. This has been such an emotional experience and I am so thankful that I had you to help me and my daughter get into a home. You're the best.

I know that my own excellent experience working with David will be the same for you. Your search is for the best mortgage lender is over. You have found David Honda. Call him today.
Everyone warned us the loan process would be the worst part of buying a home. Not with David. He made it quick, easy, and painless! Laid out a straightforward game plan for our loan and kept us on track. Day or night he's always available. Works hard for you and looks out for your best interest. He's also hilarious which helps with such a stressful process. Even on vacation he picked up the phone to check on us! We had a short escrow and David had us ahead of schedule waiting on the seller. Highly recommend working with David!
Could not let the year come to a close without sharing a stellar review of Lender, David Honda, and his speedy skills to takeover a client's disastrous loan approval and get Buyer back on track to closing all within 15 days! So grateful for his knowledge, his can-do attitude and recommendation/trust from the listing agent to make sure we all could collaboratively get this home sold for a win-win for Seller/Buyer! David is a fantastic Lender who gets it done! Highly recommend him!!
David Honda and his team were fully committed to going the extra mile and fighting hard for our clients. They used their knowledge of VA loans to help guide all parties involved and and would not stop until the job was done. I would recommend David and CSMC Mortgage to anyone who is looking for an experienced lender who can guide you through a complex process while fighting to get you the best deal possible. David helped get my clients the home they never thought was possible within their budget and can do the same for you. Derek Kotval Sotheby's International Realty-Carmel CA
David Honda BEST Lender in Ventura County! I was introduced to David as the preferred lender after already working with a retail lender. Thankfully, that call was the BEST I made, because David saved me MORE THAN HALF OF A PERCENT on my interest rate for an FHA loan! His fast pre-qualification helped me compete against multiple offers and his sterling reputation meant that the transaction was set up for success. David and his team worked diligently to make the escrow process smooth, taking phone calls after hours and making it possible to finish closing 4 days ahead of schedule in just 26 total! You could not find a more hardworking, trustworthy and honest loan officer than David Honda and I would strongly recommend his services to anyone looking for a mortgage. He genuinely cares about his clients and will show you why he always earns 5 STARS!
Through all the ups and downs - David was phenomenal. I was dealing with trying to relocate, rent my home, AND get it refinanced. I felt like I was on a tightrope at times. Starting a new job in a new place. It made for plenty of "oh, and we need this" and "need to check on that" moments. David was exceptional. He was patient with never ending questions I had, and able to keep me straight headed. He is personable and does not lose sight of what it means for his customers that their new loan come through. I recommend him with no reservations. I have another friend who was in the mortgage lending industry for a bigger lender. He knew the basics of my situation, and said, "I have a friend named David Honda. He is able to do some things... give him a call." I am so thankful for his recommendation! You will NOT regret calling David - he gets it!
David Honda is by far the best mortgage lender in Ventura County! He helped us navigate the process of buying a FSBO home, answered all of our questions, and got it done fast. My busy schedule was not an issue since he was available on afternoons and even weekends! We are ever so grateful for his help.
From start to finish, David demonstrated dedication, competence, and support. He earned my trust immediately. I strongly recommend his service for your mortgage lending needs. My entire family is excited about the next chapter in our lives...and we couldn't have done it without David Honda.
David Honda, a Ventura County Mortgage Lender he has helped my clients with their purchase needs in the Conejo Valley, Simi Valley, Westlake Village, San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles County, and many other geographic locations. He has been there for me and my clients countless times and has gone way above and beyond any other lender I've transacted with in the past. What makes David unique is his ability to communicate at a very high level with all parties, at all times. He goes out of his way to issue a new pre-approval for every offer to ensure a cohesive presentation. He calls every listing agent for EVERY one of my offers submitted and helps get deals accepted since he knows so many other realtors that are familiar with his work ethic. I trust him with my clients. I have security knowing their lending needs are in good hands with him. He represents me as an agent well, he represents my clients well and I consider him an integral part of my team. David is in a class of his own. If you're looking for a loan originator that you can count on and does what he says, reach out to him immediately.
David has gone above and beyond for me! He will answer your calls, keep you updated and close on time (but likely ahead of schedule). I love his personality and his desire to ask the proper questions to be sure he understood my situation. You are in good hands with Mr. Honda! Trustworthy, no nonsense, git r done! Thanks David!
Look no further, David Honda is THE MAN! David responds quickly and answers all questions. If you are serious about buying or refinancing then you need to work with David. David is dedicated to his job and makes sure everything goes smoothly. It's so nice not to have to worry. David is outgoing and has a great positive attitude.
Best Lender in Ventura County! David Honda gets it done! I met David when I was in college and a professor of mine had him as a guest speaker and a couple months later he was doing my loan for me as a first time home buyer like he promised. A lot of lenders said it couldn't be done but David really over delivered here. David is a breath of fresh air to the industry and was there for me every step of the way. I would recommend David a 100x over. Thank you!
We were in a very difficult situation during the closing on a house with a big name mortgage company who inevitably failed us. Facing the loss of THE dream house and a very large deposit, we moved quickly after initial discussions with David Honda because he was confident in getting it done. We put all our trust in David and his team to undertake the rescue mission. We were astonished. They got us the house and we closed escrow in a record 9 days from meeting David!! It was a complex situation and we are forever grateful for the attention, effort and exceptional knowledge! Without a doubt one of the best loan officers out there and he can be trusted!! Words of wisdom and advice...in a unique situation call David Honda - He can provide a personal level of service and understand your situation quickly. HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN! You're in safe hands and you will get your dream home AND the best mortgage deal! David Honda and his team were amazing!!
David Honda and his Team at CSMC Mortgage saved the day! After quicken loans couldn't get it done, no fault to my buyer, David was able to qualify, underwrite and close in 9 days, which meant we closed exactly on our close of escrow date! Unbelievable!!! A Truly remarkable team, intelligent, kind and very communicative...definitely a class act in the Mortgage Industry! I have worked in the the real estate industry for 15 years so I knew when I needed a "Hail Mary" I could count on David to give it to me straight. David and I have worked together on many other transactions and I also knew I could count on him. He will always be a lender I refer my clients and colleagues to! Thank you Team David Honda! Kelly Jane Bond Realtor/ Sales Manager Dilbeck Estates Westlake Village #01927275
We were very fortunate to have found David Honda. Inheritance transactions are tough. David Honda knows how to make these complex situations easy. Where some might have recommended to sell the property between family members, David figured out a way to refinance the property into our names thus preserving the insanely low tax basis that our grandma got back in the 1970s! He's done multiple transactions for our family and we will continue to refer him to those closest to us! Thank you for all your hard work!
David Honda - the man, the myth, the legend! What more can I say about the best loan officer/broker in the business?! I first met David as a newlywed, with my beautiful wife Dora at an open house in Arleta. We told him we were serious and after some back and forth he said "If you're serious, bring me all your stuff right now" We ran home and got everything on the spot. He put our application together that night and put a plan together for us. Then it was all UP HILL from there. He explained what we needed to do to fix with our credit, what we needed to save and what debt we needed to pay off to get to a payment that made sense for us! 12 months TO THE DATE WE MET we closed on Valentine's Day 2018. Fast forward to June 2021 and we just closed escrow on our new home with David in the corner again. David once again came through with flying colors from start to finish. He worked like a mad man to get us approved and we had our pre approval ready before we ever placed our first offer on any house. David and his team made the entire application process and through escrow super easy. He is without a doubt the best in the business and comes with thee highest of recommendations. David will bend over backwards and tread through the thickest mud to make buying a home for you and your family possible. He has done it for me now twice and don't doubt he could do it again for us in the future.
David Honda is the best in the business. He made the process simple. His confidence and expertise gave me peace of mind. Just be honest with him, he will move mountains to get you approved. My highest recommendation. No one else come close to his service. -U.S. Military Member.
We met David as a recommendation through our broker and we were instantly put to ease as David walked us through the entire process from getting pre-approved, to offer stage and onto closing. Every step of the way David was super responsive and always on the phone when any questions came up. Coming from the UK, house buying in the US is daunting and I can't recommend David highly enough. Being the biggest purchase of your life, it's very important to have a good connection with your loan officer and David put us to ease every time we had any questions. If you need a loan for your new house, please please please reach out to David and you won't be disappointed. He does everything in his power to close quickly! Thank you David........Jenkins Family x
My experience working with David Honda was great! We were able to close in two weeks! That was even a week sooner than an already tight schedule to close in 3 weeks. He was very responsive, responds in a timely manner, goes the extra mile for you and is very straightforward. Highly recommend him!
This is the first time I've written a review, but I just had to share what a positive experience we had with David Honda as our mortgage loan officer. David was professional, organized, and knowledgable. He stayed in constant communication with us and held our hand during what could have been a totally overwhelming process. David watched the market, locked in an amazing interest rate for us, and then stuck with the timeline he promised to finish all the paperwork. We were so happy and would highly recommend David to all of our family and friends. Thank you, David!
We met David in our home buying process after having our whole team selected. We found our dream home and needed to cross qualify. Unfortunately our original loan officer was not able to provide assistance during this crucial period of the home buying process (especially during these tough times as a buyer) and we were very lucky to have encountered David at the time that we did. I believe David did everything in his power to get us to the point where we are today, which is proudly owning our dream home. He was extremely knowledgeable and was open to calls, texts and emails to help ease our concerns and dummy down for us this otherwise complex process. He has a contagious energy and it was great to have him on our team. I personally appreciated how brutally honest he was with our situation, which helped build transparency. He is quick and aggressive in getting the deal done. We also thought we were getting the best deal with our original lender but we got an even better one with David. We have had a smooth process and are very thankful we made him part of the team. Thank you !
What can I say about the AMAZING David Honda?!?! Well, he's just that AMAZING! From the start of selling my home and buying my new home, he's been there every step of the way, cheering us on, guiding us and getting it done!!! He is the man! He was available any time of day, answering all of my crazy questions. All in all, he's reliable, a pleasure to work with, hard working, and just AMAZING!! Thank you David for getting us our beautiful house! You are the best!!!!!
No words can express how grateful we are to have been referred to such an Amazing Loan officer. I don't know that there are any words that would do justice to how professional, helpful, informative, patient and genuine David has been with us. We were referred to David since 2017 and contacted him without being ready to purchase. Over the years he has advised us on credit and looked at our tax returns as self employed individuals, has been transparent about what we would qualify for and has provided us a road map to finally become homeowners. All of this without ever meeting in person. There is so much good to say. My husband and I highly recommend him. If you are considering buying a home David is the guy! If you are ready to purchase he is the guy! If you are self employed even more so! The Ndiaye Family!
Experienced, professional, go-getter!!! David was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is full of personality, has a great sense of humor and relatable, all of which helped to make the stress of the home-buying process much easier. I appreciate David's patience with me, a first time home buyer, as he took the time to explain the process and answer all of my questions. Thanks to David's hard work, we closed days earlier than planned and he was there to share in the celebration!!!
David Honda was my first call, and he is phenomenal. We are first time buyers, and we wanted to quickly move on a purchase. David and his team (Elena is so thorough and friendly) answered our questions tirelessly, and kept us in the loop throughout the process. They made everything so easy. He was available whenever I needed clarification, and was answering emails at 6am and 9pm! He is the loan officer you want.
We can't say enough about how helpful and professional David was in guiding us through our refi. We had not refinanced in about 20 years, so we were full of questions, which often had us calling and texting David at inopportune times. We even unwittingly interrupted him at a family birthday party, but David was extremely gracious throughout the entire process. He was a pure pleasure to work with. Quick, efficient, very knowledgeable, and got us an incredible rate on our refi. Despite his busy workload, he made us feel like we were his only client. Five stars!!! So glad we found him on Yelp!
We found David through Yelp and we were unsure if we could fully trust someone that we found on the internet. David blew our expectations out of the water and was there for us throughout the whole process. He would answer every question patiently (my wife asks a lot of questions) and made sure we were doing what was in our best interest even if it meant taking out a smaller loan. Couldn't recommend David more! Very good experience using Yelp to find a lender.
I'm not usually one to write Yelp reviews but I felt compelled since I found David through Yelp and am so glad I did! David made the whole buying process so easy and seamless. He was a pleasure to work with and was so responsive! You could call the man at 2 AM and he would pick up and happily answer any of your questions... (just kidding, don't - but you get the picture). Highly recommend David for all of your lending needs! Lauren and I are so grateful and very than…
Great work ethics. David Honda was professional and gave us his full attention. Always friendly and positive. Took the extra time to explain everything so even a first time buyer knew what was going on. Highly recommend David and his team. He is always welcome in our NEW HOME!!!! Thank you and God Bless.
David Honda made the process Of buying our home a BREEZE. You see, I am a little "extra"...and have super high expectation of people to meet my standards, and David blew it out of the park. It's great to finally work with someone who beats my own "extraness"
Loved David Honda's hustle to get us a great outcome before the door slammed. We had an erroneous collection on our credit report and David was able to deal with the credit bureaus and remove the error and increase our credit score by 70 points! That helped us get a better interest rate!! He laid out each step and texted us when we needed to take action. I would definitely recommend if you are buying a home or refinancing!
David Honda did it again! He helped us buy our first home last year during the beginning of Covid and now we have just finished our refinance and lowered the heck out of our payment! David helped make this deal work since my bonus got cut due to Covid and we weren't qualifying for the refi. He was able to rework some numbers and this guy won't take no for an answer! He was able to figure it out and make this work!! The guy is a fricken magician! Call David for your mortgage, you won't be disappointed.
Ever put your loan officer through hell and back and he STILL gets the job done?? With multiple people on the loan and several other complicated factors, David Honda hustled until we had keys in our hands. Everything from answering a million and one questions to driving all over town last minute to get proper paperwork in before closing, David didn't stop until we closed. His team is extremely thorough and we could not have gotten this house without his experience and hustle.
We initially bought our home with David just about a year ago, and he made that entire process super easy. Fast forward to today, and we just finished refinancing our home and couldn't be happier with how it went. David tracked the market and kept in touch with us, preparing us to refinance as soon as the time was right. He worked extremely hard to get us the best possible terms for our loan and he was always there to help when we had questions. COVID adds a level of difficulty to getting loans done, but David's perseverance and hard work sped everything up and we were able to get everything done super quickly. Thank you David and team!!!
David was our loan officer for our new home and my husband and I could not speak more highly of our experience working with David and his team. They were extremely responsive throughout the entire process, answering our questions as they arose and going above and beyond the call of duty when any issues came up. I know there were headaches on their end through some of the process, but from our end the process felt easy and painless. Trust me, you want David on your team. He will not sleep until the job is done. David and his team worked tirelessly to get us a great rate and to make sure we closed on time. I would definitely recommend him to everyone and we will use him again in the future.
David Honda was our mortgage broker and he had to work so much harder to get our paperwork and approvals through during covid! We were comforted on the roller coaster ride by his attention and tireless work ethic. He was responsive, has a great sense of humor and that personal touch ...while crunching numbers. I think he's the reason we got our new house and can recommend him unreservedly.
Huge shout out to David Honda!! He really went above and beyond to fight for us and keep our buying process simple and easy. We were first-time buyers and he took the time to explain everything to us about lending and how that plays in the current market. Our realtor consistently mentioned that she's never had a lender so on top of the process and going above and beyond for buyers - when we got our keys in LONG BEACH, he drove all the way down from WESTLAKE to bring us champagne. He's the best! If you're buying a home or don't know where to start, give him a call! We're sending all our friends and family his way!
David Honda and his team were wonderful to work with. During these times, we were able to finance and close in 17 days! No issue for David and his team. Highly recommend.
David Honda gets the job done! Great professionalism from him and his whole team. Explains everything in detail and provides great options and advice that will cater to the customers needs. Wonderful overall experience from start to finish of escrow making everything run as smooth as possible. David you're the man bro! I will definitely recommend David and this company to family and friends.
We met David through our real estate agent and had been told he was great at finances and getting people approved for their loan. We already had our loan pre-approval with a different lender with whom we had worked in the past. We thought we had a pretty good interest rate but we thought what could it hurt to get a second opinion. After talking with David, he was able to get us a much better interest rate and he was available to answer any questions or concerns we had 24/7! We could stop there and say nothing more other than he's a great guy and got us a great interest rate. However, our loan process got crazy. Nothing that had to do with David or his team but due to the type of property we were buying the process became more difficult. David took the ball and ran with it. He said "Don't worry. I got you. I'll make it happen." He is definitely a man of his word. He was up in the middle of the night at times reaching out to escrow companies, getting extra documents for us that were necessary for the loan, working his magic behind closed doors and making the process easier for us. David and his team are amazing at what they do! No matter how many extra documents he was asked for he told us every step of the way "Don't worry. I got you." He definitely did carry us through this whole process and ultimately made the deal happen. We'd go to war with this guy. He's one of few people that when they give you their word, they mean it. Thank you David and your extraordinary team from my parents and us. ~Rick & Claudia
David Honda was phenomenal in our house hunt. He was on top of all the numbers, walked through them multiple times while options changed, and even recommended an option we hadn't thought about (which was the plan we ended up going with). He was patient with us but aggressive in getting the loan closed. I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with! Highly recommended.
David and his team were great at getting us through escrow and into our dream home. Helpful at all hours of the day and very professional. I recommend David to anyone; you will not be upset with the choice.
Working with David was a breeze! This was our family's first home purchase and he was very straightforward and detailed with the way that he explained the process. He and his team were extra communicative and we really appreciated that. David will get the job done thoroughly and on time and we couldn't recommend him more.
We ran into some complications toward the end of my deal, but David Honda kept me informed, answered my questions, and made sure everything came out right in the end. He's clearly passionate about serving his clients and I recommend him highly.
I want to say David is great !!! The guy does magic. I am single income and self employed. Getting loans is always a little tricky under normal circumstances. But add Covid and I was really holding my breath. We were dealing with a four-legged transaction (whatever that is) so there were multiple people involved and all different time lines. David was available any time I called, including nights and weekends. He was able to explain everything I needed to do as we went along. He truly made it one of the least stressful loans I've ever gotten. I highly recommend him and would definitely use him again.
David is amazing. This was a nightmare deal. It took forever, we were living in an airbnb for a month and half and a hotel for the last week before closing!! David had to deal with some nightmare agents. But he took it in stride and did everything, i mean EVERYTHING he could to make sure we got our home. He was sick, barely able to talk and still took my phone calls and calmed me down when I was about to panic. Thank you so much for all you did and all you taught me!!!
David Honda is the man! My wife and I were in the market for our first home for a long time prior to COVID and once that happened we had just about given up hope. Once we met David, that all changed. He discussed all of our loan options with us and taught us things that really helped us out. And he was available to run our numbers basically 24/7! Even in Escrow, David and his team put in the extra hours to make sure we got funded in our short window. Thanks again David for getting us into our first home. You and your team are awesome.
David Honda's expertise in mortgage finance was instrumental in helping us analyze our refinance options. Running multiple scenarios clearly illustrating the benefits. Not only did we figure out how best to leverage our investment and got terms we were thrilled with to boot!
I was referred to David Honda by my insurance guy who heard I was looking to do a refinance. I was already working with my current broker at the time and I figured it was good to get a second quote. Long story short: David secured me a better rate than my broker, hustled and worked harder than I ever could have anticipated, and absolutely earned my trust. At the beginning of the process I discovered, to my surprise, that there was a derogatory mark on my otherwise stellar credit, bringing my score down dramatically. I was shocked and made an effort to resolve it on my own to no avail. David went out of his way to advise me and guide me through how to resolve this crazy credit issue, and thanks to him within days I got the offending entry off my credit report and immediately my score was corrected so I could proceed! Then toward the end of the process I made an urgent request to David to get the documents ready to sign since my wife needed to leave town unexpectedly. Once again he hustled for me, he met the tight deadline, and we signed the papers the evening before she left town. I can't recommend him highly enough - he's passionate about his work and he's a no BS kind of guy who acts quickly to get things done. I'm definitely going to pass his name around to the people I know. Thanks David!!
A huge thank you to David Honda and his team! They are all rock stars and went above and beyond to get my family in our new house at an awesome rate... even during this current Covid pandemic. Buying a house can be extremely stressful, but when you have David on your side you can be assured that he won't sleep until the deal is done! What a beast!
With the help of David and his team, we just closed our refi. We started the process before the pandemic hit. With all the ongoing drama, David and his team plowed through. Thank you for your dedication David! Kudos to your team for hanging in there!! Be safe. Frank and Ana B.
Many thanks to David Honda and his team for getting our loan done in probably the weirdest time in the last 100 years. He went above and beyond for us. He drove our signed escrow documents 100 miles each way to fund our deal ahead of time, so we could move in on a Friday instead of a Monday! You can expect the same result from him if you choose to call him. Thanks again Honda!
David and his team gone above and beyond to help us qualify for a loan to purchase the house we desired across the country. We were in a "contingent to sell" contract and it was funded and closed on time and we couldn't be happier through the entire process. David and his team knows the ins and outs of the mortgage industry and their knowledge greatly helped us where other lenders may have fell short. We are grateful for being referred to David and we won't hesitate to refer them to others as well! Thanks for everything!
We just got our first home and David had been a tremendous help throughout the process! He was always there to answer questions even late at night (!) and walk us through every step of the otherwise would have been frustrating process. We ended up getting a loan approval in 7 days and closed escrow in 17 days just as he promised right at the beginning. Moreover, David helped us lock our rate at just the right time! David is patient, knowledgeable, detail oriented, reliable, resourceful and hardworking! We highly recommend him!
My wife and I found a house we loved on the Saturday before the Superbowl. We reached out to David during the game and by the next morning I was pre-approved. David walked us through getting exactly what we needed and moved as quickly as we did, getting everything turned around in two days. We were approved before the appraisal report was back to us. After that, we were done with the whole loan process inside of two weeks. It was really easy and not the horror story we've heard about getting approved. If you want to move quickly I'd talk with David.
We can't thank David Honda enough for consolidating our two mortgages into one for us. After asking our previous lenders to consolidate our 2 loans, they apologized and said that their rules disallowed that type of loan. I don't think they were being upfront with us. I don't think they wanted to deal with a small loan! David came to the rescue and structured the refinance. It was a pleasure working with you and your staff. There were some small issues that you and your staff quickly handled. Very impressive! We are very pleased with the new mortgage. High fives to you and your staff. We would definitely recommend you. Sincerely, Lewis and Sandi B.
Just by chance, I happened to stumble upon David Honda. My insurance agent had a friend who knew a mortgage guy. My situation was extremely complicated. Didn't even know if a refi was possible in my current circumstance. David reached out to me right away and I explained the situation. When most people might run for the hills, David said he would take on the challenge. I am so grateful that he did. He went through obstacle course after obstacle course. Him and his team worked diligently to get things handled. He worked on my situation for almost an entire year. Never giving up! He was in constant communication with me through the whole process. He always made himself available to explain all of the details. The professionalism and expertise exceeded my expectations. I just wish I would have found him sooner. If you are looking to purchase a home or refinance, no one will work harder for you than David!
Thank you so much David Honda! We switched loan officers a week into our 30 day escrow during the holidays. We reached out to David from a referral from our real estate agent. He worked with us at lightening speed on his vacation in Hawaii! He helped us meet all our contingencies and we closed on time! David was quick to respond on all our requests and definitely got the job done. We are grateful and thankful for all your help! Wouldn't recommend anyone else in the business!!
David was recommended to us from our realtor and I have to say that he exceeded our expectations by far. He started with very challenging circumstances: The seller requested a shortened loan contingency period and he was brought in 6 days AFTER escrow had started because our first lender fell through. Luckily, David jumped in and took over. He made sure that the appraisal got done very quickly (he even paid the rush fee himself) and he made sure that the loan was approved in record time. He was available even late at night and on the weekends and he was extremely responsive (we normally had an answer from him within minutes). David managed the whole loan process extremely efficiently: He made sure that every party involved knew exactly what to do and he ensured that all deliverables and documents were submitted correctly and on time. He did everything in his power to make sure that we were going to be able to meet our deadline. Although he came on 6 days after escrow had started, thanks to him, we were able to close escrow 7 days early!!! And the rate he gave us was very competitive. I strongly recommend David, especially if you have a short timeline or a challenging financial situation.
If we could give David Honda more than five stars, we most definitely would! David came highly recommended to us and we are pleased that we trusted in that recommendation! David was personable, he was readily available take phone calls, thoroughly answer any questions, and if he wasn't able to receive the call, he would return the phone call immediately. We were not an easy (or even possible) refinance and David went above and beyond to walk us through the process of clearing up issues with our credit report in order to ensure that we were not only able to refinance, but that we were thrilled with the outcome of the refinance of our home. He made it happen! We are considering purchasing a new home in the future and we will definitely return to David for his personable and professional expertise! Thank you David! Scott and Wendy
David Honda did great Job securing first time home buyer. Updated the complex dependency of transactions at various intervals and got us good rate with optimized closing costs. Will recommend. Thanks!!
I met David Honda through my realtor Manuel. He came highly regarded as someone who can do difficult loans. I just sold my business and needed to get a small loan to offset a 1031 exchange to buy my investment property. My challenge was I suffered a stroke, so now I'm on disability and retiring. I don't have a pay check anymore, but David was able to help me finance this property. David drove to my home in Simi Valley almost 7 times to help me get documents signed since I'm not good with computers and I can't drive anymore. David went above and beyond for me and he did this for an $80,000 loan. He is a kind person and he is very good at what he does. I highly recommend David to anyone who needs a loan.
Working with David made the refinancing of our home as easy as we could have hoped for. He took the time to explain the nuances of the costs involved and helped us pick which loan would work best for us. He is very knowledgeable and caring. We will recommend him where we can! Thanks again to David and his team!
I highly recommend David Honda and Melissa to get your mortgage. I had a 30 day escrow and 1/2 way through I decided I didn't want to pay all cash. So they had 13 business days to secure my mortgage and they "got it done." They were terrific to work with !! They would call at 7 in the morning or 9 at night if they needed specific paperwork. I have referred friends to them for refinancing. Thank you David and Melissa you were a pleasure to work with and I appreciate all you hard work !!! Susan H.
David Honda and his team made the refinancing of our home super easy and painless. Him and Shanee' took the time call my husband and I explain every detail of the process and answered all of our questions in a complete and timely fashion. We would definitely recommend him and his company to our friends and family.
David Honda recently helped my family and I purchase a new home and we couldn't be happier. David worked extremely hard, answered my calls any time of day and always answered my questions thoroughly. He's truely an expert and we had a very quick and easy close. We even closed 2 weeks early. Working with David was great. Felt like I was working with an old friend, no pressure, just open and honest communication. Highly recommend.
David Honda is the man when home loan financing or refi your home loan, fast and easy. Thank you David for my refi!
I highly recommend David Honda ! He's the man and the best at what he does, David got me a better rate than everyone else, David's service was through the roof. He took my calls while he was out of the country, got a tricky situation figured out that others couldn't do! I can't recommend him enough! Thanks for everything you did for me and my family.
A total pleasure to work with, from beginning to end. As soon as my agent referred me to David, he was on the phone right away explaining the entire process and what I needed to do. Our transaction went perfectly thanks to David. And he held the reins until the very last minute, much more to my appreciation! Thank you David and I will refer you to anyone who needs a fabulous mortgage lender. Martine
David Honda was first introduced to us by our realtor 2 yrs ago. We found him so friendly and very approachable man. He made us feel welcome and easy to talk to. He helped us understand even the small and fine details in buying a house. If we have concerns and questions, he's made himself available to answer all our questions. That is why, together with our realtor and David, we finally made a good choice of getting this home. And for the second time in refinancing our home, he helped us again in locking our rate at just the right moment. Thank you so much for guiding us again David Honda. We appreciated all your help.
We bought our first home 2 years ago with the help of this Gentleman DAVID HONDA. The very first time that we talk to him, me and my wife had already connection to him. He explained every details, we got approved so easy with terms we were happy with. And now we refinanced our house and we did not think twice to give him a call again to ask for help and he never disappointed us. He never changed the way he helped us like on the first time, and he do his very best for us and locked our loan. I'm highly recommend him to my family and friends which we already did to one of our friend.
David Honda and his team are great! He helped me get financed to purchase my new home! Process was seamless and stress free. My home closed in 30 days without a hitch! Great job! I highly recommend David.
My husband and I just received the keys to our new home. This was a first time home purchase for both of us, needless to say we had no idea what we were doing. In walk David Honda! He patiently explained every detail and answered all of our questions, and trust me, we had A LOT of questions! David was able to help us navigate through the entire process, which also being Army Veterans brought its' own set of challenges. Thankfully he has had a lot of experience serving Veterans and is very familiar with VA loans as well as traditional loans. So it was refreshing to have someone understand our unique situation. Ultimately, if you can't tell by now, we were Extremely Happy with David's services. So, bottom line, if you are thinking of buying a home now or in the future, call David Honda!! You will not regret it! #TheWolfofWestlake
David Honda is the best. His team is professional and he is extremely knowledgeable. He will meet, call and take the time to explain the process when you have questions. He worked hard on every detail. He got me a conventional loan in the 3s! His team is quick and made the process so easy. My loan was pre-approved before the appraisal was complete and my rate was locked in. I'm in my new home and I have David and his team to thank!
Best experience working with David and his team. Certainly will be working together again I. The near future.
David made the impossible to possible! He made our move from Utah to California easier and we never thought that we would be able to own a home in California. Now we're in our dream house! He was always one step ahead and kept us up to date with everything. Thank you David for making it an easy process for us! Will definitely recommend to everyone:)
What a great experience we had with David Honda! My wife and I found our forever dream home with the help and support of our RE Darrell Juanero. Then came the financing to make our dream home a reality. Enter David Honda, who shows up to our door within an hour of Darrell calling him on our behalf. What a pro! We followed his recommendations and gave him what he asked for and before we knew it, we were done!! Files were uploaded securely and wirelessly! Esignatures are the way to go! We actually were able to enjoy the process as David and his team took care of our business! We love our home and would recommend David to friends and family without hesitation!!! Thanks fellas!! The Franco's.
David Honda did an amazing job! This was my first home purchase, so I had a lot to learn. Both he and Melissa were available to answer any and all of my questions, were knowledgable and thorough, and were patient with me throughout the process. David even completed everything in 11 days. Definitely reccomend!
Another phenomenal experience with David and his team. I bought my place 9 months ago at a certain mortgage rate. Now, I was able to refinance and David helped me lock into a full point lower!! Refinancing process went smoothly. David and his assistant Melissa were always available and promptly responded to my questions and inquiries. It was such a great team to have to work on my loan. I can't thank you enough for the hard work and dedication you put into trying to make your clients happy.
David Honda did an amazing job on our home loan! He was creative when it was necessary and always made sure that everything was as pain-free as possible. Not only did he help us buy our home but he helped us turn our credit around before the process of buying. He made sure that everything we committed to was appropriate for our finances and our family. David is a solid and aggressive businessman.
David Honda worked magic on our loan. We had some confusing type of income that he was able to use to get us qualified for enough to get an awesome house in a good neighborhood . He is very hands on and there was a lot of time spent with back and forth conversations with him working to make things work. He even started the process while he was on vacation in Hawaii to get things rolling. Him and his team are awesome. Melissa, his assistant is great at getting back to you and answering any questions that we had. I definitely recommend David and his team to get you a loan for the house of your dreams.
David Honda was amazing!!! Of all the people involved in the home-buying process, and we know there are a lot... David was THE most helpful person out of all of them. Even more helpful than my agent. He answered all of my questions, he talked me through the process every step of the way, he went at-bat for me to get my credit score fixed due to some errant report from an apartment building from 5 years ago, and he got me a great mortgage rate. I honestly don't think this transaction would have occurred on time if it wasn't for David's help! He'll go the extra mile for you to get the deal done! I'd give him 12 stars if I could.
I can't say enough about David Honda!! My husband and I are definitely blessed our agent referred him to us. Without a doubt, David is super passionate about helping his clients. He worked tirelessly until our loan was approved and was ALWAYS available to answer our questions, concerns, etc. David is a very knowledgeable loan agent and his customer service skills are off the charts!! He genuinely made us feel special and truly meant it when he said he had our backs. I've listed a few examples below: - David and his team had our loan approved in 7 days. - He spent a lot of time ensuring my husband's VERY difficult income was properly qualified. - The amazing support people on David's team. Melissa Ramos is outstanding!! - David helped our agents when they were out of town to deliver our keys in the middle of the night so we could move into our home the very next day. David's definitely our go to guy for future loans. Not to mention, we made a friend for life. We highly recommend him to anyone who needs a loan. He'll go above and beyond for you!!
David Honda and Melissa Ramos are an amazing team! My loan was approved within 15 days. They are fast, efficient, professional and easy to work with! They have become great friends and I will use them again in the future. I recommend them to everyone. Great rates!!! Give them a call. I love them!!
I highly recommend David Honda, Mortgage Lender for all residential loans. David has years of expertise and is very knowledgeable in his markets and was able to help us close our loan in a 20 day escrow to seal the purchase of our new home. Working with David was a very positive experience and if you are looking for a strong and reliable lender, I suggest you contact David Honda today!
David did an excellent job making my home purchase as worry free as possible. The whole process was very daunting going through it for the first time, however from the moment David gave me his word that we were going to make the deal happen, he was there night and day to make sure things went smoothly. This man works extremely hard for his clients.
My first Yelp Review you know it's legit when you have to write your first review since the service was excellent. Have to appreciate the work they did and let others get the same service I can't be greedy and not let the secret out. Working with David and his Team was Awesome : Melissa, Danielle, Susana, Marcella and everyone else who helped with the Loan. Here are some highlights: - They had the loan approved way ahead of schedule. - super easy transaction. - amazing support people on his team - came all the way out to Lancaster to walk through the door with us! - I would refer anyone to work with them because they get it done super fast and are the kind of people you would call friends after they are done! I am already sending clients his way! Don't Hesitate, Call him!! You will not regret it.
I met David years ago when we used to shoot archery together. David has always been a great business man ever since I've known him and he inherently understands people and customer service, that's just who he is. After just 3 years in the business, he outperformed all of the other mortgage lenders I have worked with. We did a purchase and a refinance with David. When we bought our home he helped us get our offer accepted because he was able to close the transaction within 21 days (It only took 19 days). We had the same offer as others but, the listing agent said our offer stood out because everyone else could only offer a 30 day escrow. TIME is MONEY! We just finished a refinance on our investment property. David called us out of the blue and said that he could save us some money. The market had a sharp drop in interest rates and he was able to get us locked into a loan within 1 day. With low closing costs and $140 less on a new mortgage, it was a no-brainer. I highly recommend David. He is an outstanding mortgage lender and you'll never want to work with anyone else again! (like me)
Working with David was incredible. The guy is a complete monster. Unbeknownst to us, he actually knew the listing agent and helped get our offer accepted AND got us a great rate. Because of his hard work, we were also able to close on our house with a 12 DAY ESCROW. 12 DAYS! Without his crazy Type-A personality driving this, it would have never gotten done in time. Can't say enough good things about David.
I was introduced to David from my aunt who highly recommended him. David has helped change our life in the best way possible! He went above and beyond to help me and my family. Our quality of living has improved since we refinanced and the peace of mind we have now is priceless! David got our loan done in 17 days! I have recommended David to my friends and family and I know you will too!
I'm very grateful to have been introduced to David!!! Being a US Veteran, my realtor told me he specialized in Veteran Loans and that he could get some difficult situations done. David went through many different scenarios to show me why I should use my VA loan instead of a regular loan. We have a beautiful home now and he will always be my mortgage guy. I will refer him to all my friends and family. Semper Fi
I met David in an Open House and from the first day he was very helpful in getting me pre approved. He explained many different first time buyer programs and we ended up going with his recommendation for a First Time Homebuyer Loan. We only had to put 3% down for a conventional deal and it was way better than the 3.5% FHA loan our previous lender was telling me was my only option. We saved a lot of money by going with this loan instead of FHA. We closed escrow early and my family and I couldn't have been happier. He was also available anytime we needed and made us feel comfortable with the process of buying a home for the first time. We always recommend David to anyone who needs a home loan due to his unbelievable work ethic, his ability to secure crazy good loans, and the fact that he will always do what is in his client's best interest.
David is such a professional! He has patience for my questions and has help me and my husband understand the buying process. He is always there to answer any questions or talk to my agent. I have felt at ease throughout this process and would recommend David again.
David Honda and his team are a full service business. He came to my home, picked up all the documents and then got our refinance done in 17 days! I'm referring him to all my friends and family"
David was recommended to me by my cousin who works in the real estate industry. Coming from a service related industry myself, I understand and hold in high regards the quality of service David provided. He would take late night phone calls and schedule meetings with me on the weekends to accommodate my hectic work schedule. I have referred him to a cousin and aunt who have also worked with David. He will surely get all of my family's business!
Incredibly efficient is the words that come to mind when I think about our experience in working with David. He not only helped us close escrow in less than 20 days, but made himself available anytime of the day, even coming to meet us on closing day, 12/31/18 at 6 at night! He is very friendly, honest, super thorough, and worked so hard for us to close in time for the New Year! I will be definitely referring him to friends and family who are in need of his services.
It was a pleasure and privilege to work with David. We were in a situation that was essentially impossible for us to obtain a loan but David never gave up. He worked tirelessly every single day late after hours and even on the weekends to find a solution and pushed through and made the deal happen. David is beyond resilient and doesn't take no for an answer. We were eventually able to get the loan and buy our dream home. We are forever appreciative of his hard work and determination.
I Alfred Forrest, MD generally do not make recommendations but my recent experiences with the David Honda my Mortgage Broker has been so exceptional I feel I need to break the standard. In the past eight weeks I worked with Mr. Honda to complete an unbelievable five mortgage refinance successfully. One refinance was done in less than 30 days accurately and timely without problem. In my more than three decades or more of financing and refinancing properties Mr. Honda's service has exceeded any previous services which I have encountered and I give him my highest recommendation without any reservation or hesitation. Mr. Honda completed my five transactions across at least three states with a finesse and acumen rarely encountered and with a skill I've never seen in the past. He responded to my every concern and delivered the rates and products which I needed.
David Honda is a terrific person. He has an incredible heart and made us feel so comfortable throughout the loan process. That's how my fiancé and I both felt when he came to our apartment to go over the options. He showed us all the loan programs for first time home buyers and we ended up getting an awesome loan that we only had to put down 3% and the payment was so much better than the FHA option our previous lender wanted to give us. They didn't even have the same programs David had. He even has first time programs for Teachers out there like us. We highly recommend David for the first time home buyers out there! Thanks again David!
As first time home buyers we had so many questions about the home buying process. We didn't even know we could put only 3% down on a conventional loan until David explained all the first time homebuyer programs available to us and why we would want to go with the program we chose. He took his time explaining EVERY step in the process. He even installed some bathroom hardware that the sellers didn't do when we moved in!! Full service guy! We highly recommend David to all our friends and family, and you will too if you work with him!
I cannot recommend David enough. We are small business owners and are starting a family. We needed a mortgage for our first home and we shopped around various lenders and banks. He was recommended to us by a friend and he we are more than happy with his services. First of all, he beat every other lender by a quarter of a point. Being a young family, every dollar we can save is helpful. He also took his time to explain the whole process to us to make sure we understood what is and what is going to happen. He was very informative and it never felt like he was in a rush to explain things. This was comforting to us because we have never been through this process and it can be a little overwhelming. In the end, he made the whole process enjoyable. His ability to walk us through the process step-by-step allowed to not only feel more educated, but confident that we were making the right choice in lenders. I cannot and will not recommend anyone else except David and his staff.
David Honda is very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything to you. We did two loans for two different properties. We got a great rate and it went very smoothly. I was so impressed, I referred David to my nephew. He also did a great job with his loan. I would do business with him again if the opportunity presented itself.
