Ethan Samuels of Pacific Advisors has gone above and beyond the call of duty in helping us reach out to an insurance company's customer service department to acquire needed information regarding an insurance policy that we have had in place for many years. Ethan is great in cutting through the red tape, particularly since it appears that the carrier in question has a nonuser friendly system. Of even more importance, Ethan has spotted issues that we will need to consider.

Many thanks to Bob Chesney, of Chesney Communications, for his skill in creating video testimonials for me which I now have posted on my website (with more to come!). Bob is such a pleasure to work with. He puts the interviewee at ease as he mastaerfully asks the questions which create the conversation that he later edits down to a very palatable 30-45 second video. I hope that everyone in All Cities takes advantage of Bob's services!

I would like to give a HUGE shout out to Marc Gertz, reverse loan consultant with Reverse Your Thinking Mortgage. Marc reached out to me when one of his elderly clients seeking a reverse loan found themselves with a HELOC on their primary residence they were not expecting. March and I partnered to brain storm some possible solutions, including a possible refinance of a NNN commercial property in Kentucky. Ultimately, I was able to suggest the possible transferring of the HELOC to their second home, occupied by their daughter. Thanks to Marc who scheduled and facilitated the meeting with his clients in Beverly Hills and we are off and running on the HELOC application. Marc is a true professional who genuinely cares and advocates for his clients. I would not hesitate to recommend Marc for a reverse mortgage, or to a divorcing couple seeking to split residential assets (Marc is also a Certified Divorce Lending Professional.) If my parents needed a reverse loan, Marc would be high on my list of professionals they should speak with.

A very special thank you to Larry Christian & Gary Bregman of Old Republic Title Company. They provide state of the art technology and lead farming on their website, have over 30 years of experience in handling any title issue that can come up in a real estate transaction, and are absolutely the nicest people that I've ever worked with. Throw in their escrow department helping get loan docs signed in Argentina on a recent transaction we closed with ORTC and they are truly a world-class act!! Rock on Larry & Gary!

I would like to thank Greg Offsay from Illi Commercial Real Estate for referring a client for a commercial building purchase loan. Greg's expertise and attention to detail for the loan request made it easy to determine if Redwood Mortgage was the right fit for his clients needs. I ended up referring him to another lender that specializes in more permanent financing which his borrower was looking for, but his professionalism was great and I look forward to doing business together in the future!

A special thank you to Craig Stuart Adams of W Real Estate for referring a longtime client of his that we recently closed a refinance for on her investment property in Northern California. Craig went out of his way to make the introduction, was helpful with feedback for the clients needs, and he made sure that I was able to keep in contact with her while she was traveling in Argentina. Craig is a class act and I would recommend him to anyone for real estate related services as he is top notch!

Yaron Shaman and Jason Feld of Kahana:Feld Law firm, recently referred me to two potential clients for a reverse loan. It is invaluable to me to have another professional's confidence and trust to represent their referrals and allowing myself to provide education about the benefits of using a reverse loan as part of a financial plan, and guiding them through the loan process. Thank you Yaron and Jason for putting your trust in me to assist your referrals for the best possible outcome in their personal lives.

I kid with him for having him on speed dial if there are real estate problems. He is a wonderful All Cities resource in the real estate and foreclosure space. He has saved clientele money and time by using him as a resource. Brilliant with his analysis to coming up with the right verbiage in unusual situations. Cannot give him enough kudos for the multiple things he has done. He also has a title back round which makes him extremely valuable in his field..
