Over 13 years ago when I entered the Real Estate business I was looking for a lender partner who could not only guide my clients through the daunting challenges of purchasing a home but give me the additional support that I needed as a brand new agent. Chris Freck was the one. We have aligned our businesses through the ever changing landscape of the Real Estate market including the 2007 Real Estate crash and the 2015/16 rebound. And at every shift and nuance Chris has provided my clients with sound advice and thoughtful loan options. One of the first things Chris will say to a client is “It’s not what you can afford, it’s what would a comfortable payment be for you.” As our individual careers have expanded and grown I have relied on Chris and his team to assist clients with increasingly complex situations. He never bats an eye. He is knowledgeable, diligent and calm. Three traits that are imperative to a successful transaction. Chris assists first time home buyers with patience and provides unparalleled education in loan and escrow procedures. For the home owner making a move up or down, locally or beyond the East Bay, he is timely, communicative and reliable. For our seniors he has so much compassion and thoughtfulness, takes his time to make sure that they are happy and comfortable with the entire process and works diligently with family members to make sure the best decisions are being made for all. Chris really deserves his reputation of excellence.

Chris and Nora were absolutely fantastic. They held our hand through the initial approval and offer process, and provided a very handy Excel worksheet to help break down and adjust (estimates only) potential monthly and long term costs of the various loan options. They were communicative throughout the process, and ensured we made it to closing in good order and on time. We also ended up getting a better interest rate than initially thought, and much lower than the other lender estimates we received.

Chris and Nora when I contacted them last year they told me whenever I was ready to let them know it wasn’t know pressure. Both were just kind people and knowledgeable and kept me in the loop through the whole procedure. Was very happy and please with there services I highly recommend them they made it happened to be in my first home I’m so glad I made the decision to let them guide me the whole step of the way. Thanks Again.

We worked with Chris when purchasing our home in Alameda. He and his staff were an excellent resource and were always available to us when we had questions, and there were plenty, as it was our first home purchase. He was even available months and years afterwards when we have questions after the sale. I highly recommend Chris and his staff.

Chris helped me secure a rental property and was wonderful to work with throughout the whole process. He is very knowledgeable, and helped me to fully understand the whole process. I was really pleased at the level of customer service he provided me. I highly recommend him, you will not be disappointed.

Chris did a tremendous amount of work helping those of us in a new building get loans. I did not realize how complicated that was! He is a man of integrity and heart in addition to being an excellent loan broker. A combination that is very hard to beat. Highest of recommendations!

Chris and Nora did AWESOME ! Great service, timely responses and highly organized. We are glad we changed our first mortgage broker and found EstaR. We in fact closed our loan faster than deadline (17 days) with EstaR. Highly recommended !

Chris and team have taken great care of us over the years. He has arranged our pre-approvals, helped us with amazing rates and also helped us with decisions about just how much we want to spend on a house.
