Different Mortgage is the company to use for all your mortgage and real estate needs. Chris DePaso is a wonderful realtor and mortgage broker. He has helped me purchase properties, sell properties, finance, and re-finance. What you see is what you get with Chris! He simplifies the complex with his expertise.
Matt has been my mortgage broker for 4 home loan refinances and 1 new home loan. I fully trust that Matt will work hard to find the best interest rate for my loan and will provide me with a very fair fee for his services. Matt is quick to respond and is always able to answer all of my questions and concerns. I wouldn't consider using any other agent as I know that Matt has my best interest in mind.
Buying a home can be overwhelming, but having Matt in our corner made all the difference. From the start, he was patient, knowledgeable, and truly had our best interests at heart. He took the time to explain everything clearly, answer all our questions, and advocate for us every step of the way. No matter how complicated things got, he made sure we felt confident and informed. His expertise and guidance helped us navigate a tough market, and we always felt like we were in the best hands. After two-plus years of searching, we finally found our home, and Matt was there for us the entire way. We're beyond grateful for his support and couldn't recommend him more. If you need a mortgage broker who genuinely cares, Matt is the one!
I HIGHLY recommend Matt for any mortgage services. He was strongly recommend to me by one of my girlfriend's that had a wonderful experience in refinancing her loan as well. Matt was incredibly patient with me and my thousand and one questions, and was always just a phone call away in the midst of my anxiety over documents and decision making. Interactions with Matt were easy and I felt like he was my personal financial counselor with my best interests at heart. Working with Matt created a "financial detox" and an emotional relief and freedom from debt as he created an outstanding option of a VA loan for us. Strongly recommend veterans to access Matt's services as he makes the whole process so easy and attainable. The complex refinancing process took us less than a month to accomplish and I attribute the success of this undertaking to Matt's professionalism, personal touch and unique caring for his clients. Loved our conversations about the economics of real estate and financing world. Matt will have our business for as long as he is in business, and we will rely on him for our adult children financing or refinancing of their mortgages as well. Extremely grateful for having met Matt in our journey to financial well being.
We were looking to refi and a friend recommended contacting Matt. Within the very first call, which wasn't a scheduled call, he took our info and was plugging in numbers, giving us the breakdown of available options. Throughout the process, Matt answered all our questions and helped us to make the best decision. He is knowledgeable, professional, friendly and was always responsive, even in off hours. I would highly recommend Matt Sauer and Different Mortgage.
I was referred to Matt as a get-it-done, hands-on mortgage broker, and he was just that. As a first time home buyer, Matt made it painless while keeping me informed virtually everyday through the process with all the details. Matt personally manages the mortgage lending and finds solutions as needed. In our situation, this meant he found us a special loan structure through a unique lending product just in time to allow us to save our escrow process and make our lending terms work. Without this, we would have fallen out of escrow and likely lost the house. Matt is professional but laid-back, and very patient in educating buyers with any and all questions. I'll definitely use Matt again for my re-fi and future purchases. Different Mortgage truly is different from the industry norm.
It was a joy to work with Matt through the process of refinancing our home. He took my calls, answered my lengthy questions, and remained attentive and invested until our loan funded. Thanks Matt for your professionalism, your upbeat spirit, and for honestly and forthrightly steering us in the direction that was best suited for our family.
We moved here about a year ago and worked with Matthew from Different Mortgage. He was great to work with, found us a great loan program to allow us to use our cash for renovations and helped us through our rocky closing. About a month ago he reached out and said rates were down a little bit and asked if we wanted to refinance. It was no money out of packet and would save us monthly, so we went for it. Just like when we bought, he was great to work with and kept us informed. From the time he let us know of the refi to the closing it was done in 14 days! I would highly recommend using Matthew Sauer with Different Mortgage.
Matt did an excellent job of guiding us through the process of securing a home loan along with ultimately helping us to refinance. He put our interests first and communicated in a timely fashion. It was refreshing to work with a company that puts integrity at the forefront of their business model. I would not hesitate to refer friends and family to Different Mortgage.
I’ve worked with Matt over the past several years and I have nothing but high praises. He’s walked us through many refinances and even a home purchase; all the while remaining transparent, responsive, and very communicative throughout the entire process. He understands the market, and looks at all variables and all factors to get you the best rate for your situation. Even after the transactions are long done, he’s followed-up with us months or years later to alert us if rates have gone down or a market situation has occurred that might work for your situation(such as conforming loan limit changes). He’ll never push anything that doesn’t make sense for you. I have confidence in working with him again; definitely recommend.
He is the best person I have dealt with for re-financing mortgage. I have done this twice before but he is the best one. The response was really fast and timely manner and so kind and patient with all the process that I don't understand and with all bunch of documents and statements I sent was a really big mess but he explained and figured out how to do it one by one. We didn't have to have a face to face meeting and all things done on-line and I didn't have to even call him that many times. I got a referred from my friend and now I need to refer him to everyone who needs his help. Truly an awesome and trustful expert. Oh! The most important thing is that he also offers you the best rate. Thanks Matt.
Matt was recommended by a friend, and it was a great recommendation. He focused on the pertinent details, so I only had to look at the stuff that mattered. He runs everything very smoothly, it makes the whole process a breeze. Thanks Matt!
Hello. Matt Sauer has done an excellent job executing a couple mortgage loans for my wife and I for our primary residence, as well as our vacation home. He was extremely thorough, fast, and transparent with us throughout the entire process. He put himself in our shoes and worked hard on finding the best possible lending options for us. He also worked on a Re-fi loan for us a couple years after the purchase of our first home, and did an amazing job! We will definitely recommend Matt Sauer at Different Mortgage to any of our friends needing mortgage loans in the state of California!
I have worked with Chris DePaso for many years. They find the best rates and their service is excellent. I have grown to trust Chris and Different Mortgage over the years because they are honest, perfessional, and get the loan closed quickly. When you get the loan documents and escrow closing statements there are no surprises. I have recommended Chris to Family and Friends and all have been total happy with the results. Different Mortgage is honest, efficient and always the best rates. Chris takes the pain and hassle out of refinancing
From the first phone conversation until the day we closed, Matt was a true advocate for our family. This was our first experience in buying a home. Several of his qualities stand out — extremely knowledgeable, communicates clearly, responds promptly, accessible when concerns arose, personable and persistent. As an independent mortgage broker, he navigates situations and the loan process with your priorities and interests in mind. He found the best interest rate than any other mortgage advisor we spoke with and helped guide the process for our complex family situation. Definitely worth a conversation with Matt if you’re looking for a mortgage broker... highly recommend!
Matt is by far the best loan officer I have ever dealt with. I did a refi and it was smooth, quick and he answered all my questions with a very quick response time. I highly recommend him. He really made the whole process easy and smooth. Thanks Matt
