Augusta Financial The Old Rd, Santa Clarita

Augusta Financial is an amazing mortgage lender. I have used them for new purchases and refinance. Each time the process has been simple and painless. The team is professional and knowledgeable and has made each experience less painful than the last. I can’t recommend them enough.

Andy Green and his team were exceptional.The communication stream was flawless. Andy would always share his knowledge of why things are happening in the market and educate you, which I found valuable. Him and his team were always accessible and responding promptly. They were so organized and always on top of everything as well! Would definitely work with again!

The Mike Meena team at Augusta is incredible. They are honest and trustworthy as well as very good at what they do and always professional. I have trusted them with multiple mortgages and refinances and I always have a wonderful experience. These transactions can be difficult and confusing and the team at Augusta makes it as easy and painless as it can possibly be.

Purchasing a home for the first time and going through the mortgage application process can be daunting and stressful. Sean made my first home purchase infinitely easier. He was patient with my questions and concerns, explained the process clearly, and did what was in my best interest the entire time. He provided me with a realistic timeline of the application process and promptly took care of everything needed to be done to stay on the timeline. I feel very lucky that he helped me and would definitely recommend him to everyone.

I've delt with Augusta Financial 3 times. Im not a paperwork person or someone who posts reviews but I feel so good I had to write a review. The whole homebuying/refinancing thing can be overwhelming but the crew at Augusta Financial makes the process painless. 100% recommend them and I would not go with anyone else. 6 years after my first home buying experience I'm at it again and dealing with the same people who helped me years ago which says allot about the buisiness. Save yourself from stressing out and contact them.

Mike, Dwayne, and the team are great. We have been working with them for 7 years now through two home purchases and they do great work, are knowledgeable, and work to find you the best solution, even if that solution might not be beneficial to them. I tried to refinance our old home and Mike ran the number and showed me why refinancing was not a good decision. I recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home or refinancing.

Working with Augusta Financial to finance my new home was absolutely the right choice. The team was professional and efficient when working with a short escrow. They were very kind and helpful with any questions I had. I would choose them over and over.

This has been the best experience my husband and I had with ReFi. Sean singularly made this all a success. Sean is the perfect person for this job. He is professional, knowledgeable, kind, honest and took time to explain information we didn't know. Thank you so much, Sean. May God bless you always. Grace and Daniel

We first were recommended to Steve Tampus around December 2020, by a realtor we were working with via Redfin/NextHome apps. It was originally our intention to keep our first home, and buy a second as our mortgage officer at the time said it shouldn't be a problem after reviewing our finances. We were all set to go with our original lender when Steve came in and promised he could close just as fast, and also get our downpayment from 20% down to 15%. Our realtor also advised us that it would be better to work with a local lender as our offer may not be taken seriously by the buyer of our dream home. While this advice rubbed us the wrong way, we chose Steve anyway because we had missed a few homes in November from overbid offers. He ensured us that while we were both at new jobs for over 6 months, our six months of paystubs and our taxes should be sufficient in getting our loan processed. After reviewing our file over the weekend, he advised us that we would need to sell our first home in order to qualify for the lower downpayment. We wanted this house so bad, we had our agent list our first home, and accepted the first offer tossed our way because we didn't want our home sale to affect the closing of our new dream home. After weeks of going back and forward with Steve's team, and getting our first home into Escrow, we were now almost at the end of week 2 for our Escrow. Steve informed us underwriter was reviewing our files and we should know by this coming Monday (1/3/21). It was Tuesday 1/4/21, when we received the grim news. The underwriter declined our loan because they did not like that my wife was making more income then I. We even had the owner of our company write a letter explaining why she was hired with a higher pay. We were on a trip in Tahoe with our kids when we received the bad news and it seems discriminatory that they would call my wife's pay "fishy". Thankfully, we did not lose our dream home as we went back to our original lender (C2 Financial Corp), and fortunately they were so good that they were able to close in TEN days without any hiccups. Steven's team never even refunded back the inspection that his team ordered and never used. We will work on charging this back, as they never return calls or emails. TLDR: Was all set to offer on our dream home, but our showing agent recommended using a local lender to be taken seriously. Steve and team were responsive originally, but as the weeks went on and the escrow clock was ticking they failed us in the worse way possible. We could still have our first home, and not just our dream home had we not listened to these people. The whole ordeal felt shady, almost mafia like. Even the buyers of our current home did not like anyone from Augusta and Keller Williams VIP.

People B+....Refinance Process F Alicia and David were great. Augusta's process was TERRIBLE. I'm not complaining about the many months of waiting. It's also important to point out that we have amazingly high credit scores. The nightmare began AFTER we signed the mountain of paperwork with the notary. It's reasonable to think that you are just about ready to close and be done after that happens. Think again! Almost daily, after that point, we were sent one or more additional documents to sign. Seemingly senseless and mostly duplicated documents that we had recently signed and were told needed to be updated as "required by underwriting." We figured that there was nothing anyone could do since "underwriting" required these things. Shortly we realized that "underwriting" is really another part of Augusta's own staff that was papering us to death. This was November 2020. The most insane part came when Augusta demanded we prepay thousands of dollars for the complete premium for 2021's homeowner's insurance or they would not close. I would give them one star but after much stress and thousands of dollars put out that we did not anticipate, we did finally manage to close. Wish we had chosen someone else to do this refinance for us.
