"We can't thank you and your staff enough. We had a truly first class experience from beginning to end. Everyone on your staff was so professional and Cindy and I are truly blessed...from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!!!"

"On behalf on Valerie and myself, I just wanted to say thank you for helping us to get into the home of our dreams! We couldn't have done it without the hard work and dedication that all of you and your staff demonstrated these past few weeks. We look forward to spending many many happy years in our new home."

"Let me start by saying that when things go haywire, and they probably will at some point in time through escrow, you want someone like Joe and Phillip to be on your side. I shopped around for lenders with the major banks and web-based companies like Zillow.com. I almost got lured by some far away web-based lenders with promises of low interest rates due to low overhead- but boy, was I glad to have retained Joe Tishkoff as my lender of choice. If I could summarize my experience with Joe in a few words, these would include: attentive, caring, an expert in his field, and responsible. As a practicing US Federal attorney, I consider myself a very demanding and inquisitive person. Throughout the loan process, I must of have called Joe dozens of times and each and every time he took my calls and/or got back to me every time. Joe always had an expert answer for me which made the entire process easier to track. There is no way I would have gotten this attention from a major bank or from a far away web-based company.

I always felt Joe had my best interested in mind. For example, Joe explained the underwriting and escrow process clearly to me. I felt I could trust him. He never came across as trying to “sell” me additional options which were not to my best interest. I felt Joe “watched my back” all the way through right until the close of escrow. When I got stressed, Joe took the personal steps of contacting the necessary parties to push the process along which proved essential to close on time, get funded, and receive the keys to our new home.

In summary, I recommend Joe Tishkoff to any home purchaser without hesitation. I will vouch for his excellent services at anytime. If anyone one interested in retaining his services should have any questions about my experience with Joe, feel free to contact me. Thank you."

"I’ve been raving about you guys. There is no comparison between my experience with you vs. Wells Fargo. The person I had at Wells was not friendly, not helpful, not knowledgeable and disorganized. So you blew them out of the water."

"THANK YOU, JOE!

I’m so sorry I didn’t get to say thank you yet! We have been running like crazy! Painting the house, getting new floors put in etc, etc.

You are a great team and I just want you to know that I will be happy to refer you to anyone in need of a home loan or financial services. I told Mike that when we're ready to do it again we already have our team in place!"

Best wishes,
- Peggy Goodwin, Granada Hills, CA

 


"Thank you so much for the portfolio and all the paperwork.  That is a neat way to store all receipts, insurance papers, tax information, etc.  That was so thoughtful of you. We both thank you
.

Also, we'll have a drink on you guys (coffee, that is).  Starbucks is the best.  Gracias.  Danke.  Salamat.  Merci.  Grazi.

We needed the final deed of trust to show Sandstone Villas so we can get a remote to the parking lot and keys for the laundry room and workout room.  Now we can apply for those items.

Efren and I have been painting for the last two weekends.  Living room and hall are finished with two coats, and the dining room and kitchen have one coat, so far.  This weekend we will finish those two rooms.

It is always a pleasure to work with people as pleasant and friendly as you two.  I am so glad that we got to know you better.  I like doing business that way, rather than with someone on the other end of a telephone or email.  You were patient with me, as I was always sort of nervous because of the Freddy Mac situation.  I realize it is difficult to get all things together when the selling bank is in New York, the realtor is in Studio City, the Escrow is in Victorville, and the lender is in Encino.  But you guys got it all together and pulled it through for us.

This is not good-bye, but just so long for now.  I will let you know when we have it presentable for guests to visit us.

Ciao for now."

"Thank you so much for taking the time to send my Mom and Sam the info last night. She is so greatful and just full of compliments as to your professionalism and kindness. And of course she is thrilled about the loan - I could truly hear it in her voice when I spoke with her this afternoon - such a sense of relief. Thanks to you I can sleep better at night knowing she isn't under so much stress. I am truly so greatful to you."

- Debbie Lucas

"Joe, thanks to you, my client now knows how to do the financing and what they can afford, so we're back to the search and will find them something they can embrace. They're both on-board with the financing you had brainstormed, so all is well. She liked your creative problem-solving, and I sincerely appreciate how quickly you got everything together for both her and me.

Thanks for all your help and for being there when I needed you. Glad to have found you!"

Ruth Luban, Broker-Owner, Sunset Park Realty

Thanks again for all your help."

"I thank you! Its not often that someone performs the way you do! Seems more often than not that when you refer someone to somebody or are referred to someone for a service, there's always a screw up. Not in your case... everybody has been more than pleased with their dealings with you."

Ronald Ribstien, President of Last Shot
Enterprises Inc.
